I think the WH is in Group Think mentality (see Bay of Pigs analysis in a Psych 101 class)
Martinez is head of the RNC.
GWBush wants Amnesty at all costs.
There is no contact with the real world.
THere is nobody with contact outside the country club in the real world. They are truly lost inside the betlway.
A Mad Hatter’s Immigration Tea Party.
Methinks Martinez was made head of the RNC specifically for this purpose. I believe Bush himself truly believes in the goodness of all these illegals who’ve crossed the border, based on the anecdotal evidence of his personal experience in TX. He’s only met nice, hard-working illegals.
President Bush and his family have not had to suffer through what the rest of us do on a daily basis. Same is true for the upper level WH staff and members of Congress and their staffs. Their world is quite different from ours. Unfortunately, we have allowed them, members of the media, and other celebrities to become an elite in our society.
Ultimately, at least for now, the “people” have won. Hats off to Sessions/Cornyn/DeMint/Dole/Enzi and Bunning !
