Love-Hate relationship...For me, the former has pretty much dried up. I do, however, have a great deal of the latter to spare.
“On May 28, the president said: “If you want to kill the bill, if you don’t want to do what’s right for America, you can pick one little aspect out of it, you can use it to frighten people. Or you can show leadership and solve this problem once and for all.”
Mr. President, how about doing what’s right for American and ENFORCE THE LAWS CURRENTLY ON THE BOOKS!
What’s frightening people is no one knows who you are! Are you liberal, conservative or a frat boy? You can show leadership and lead by closing the borders! We’re at war, remember? Or is that all just bs too?
I think that Bush has a bad apple or two that are giving him bad advice or information and when he gets rid of them, He will be in real good shape.
I know I’m not the only one who sometimes suspects the latter.
I don’t hate (nor love) President Bush - I disagree with a lot of this stuff but it’s not like he was trying to hide it like Ol’ Slick did. I just assumed that I was allowed to support him on some things and oppose him on others. This love/hate talk is pretty childish when it comes to politics.
Having said that, I do admire him for sticking to his guns when he thinks he's right rather than testing to see which way the wind is blowing all the time.
Flame away.
I’m with Laura Ingraham 100% on this.
I might even get a bumper sticker that says “Keep Out the Bushes!”
We’ve had enough of this North American Union crap dynasty.
I opposed the amnesty bill and I worked hard to help defeat it. Many of your base, many people who have stood by you through the most difficult times of your administration helped to defeat that bill. We have been called racists and bigots. In truth, what we are is the betrayed.
My son is a United States Marine and recently returned from his third tour in the Iraqi theater of operations. I have another son who has worked in Iraq as a civilian employee, rebuilding the Iraqi infrastructure that is so vital to the success of the mission. From the very beginning, I have supported you, I have supported the mission and the troops, I have never wavered in my commitment to you or your leadership. That has not been so easy for nearly six years!
All I have asked for in return is a secure border fence. It is my belief that if the entire Hunter Fence had been built as promised, the problems on our southern border would have almost immediately become manageable, simply because it would effectively choke off the flood of illegals who come from all over the world and mass at that border and then run across with impunity. Have you ever heard the expression, “herding cats”? Our Border Patrol is so badly outnumbered that their job and the restrictions placed upon them literally reduce them to “herding cats”.
Mr. President, I just wanted you to build the fence big enough and strong enough to stop the flood. The other problems could be resolved once the back door is locked.
Today, there is a full-scale revolt going on between the people and their Senators. This is one “sweetheart deal” that the American people are united in stopping. We are so tired of our politicians and their slick lies and empty promises. On October 26th of last year, you promised to build the entire fence. It breaks my heart to wonder whether it was a false promise or an outright lie. I do wonder, though, Mr. President. It’s such a small thing to ask from my government. Why can’t we have the fence?
There is nothing more to say, I just thought you would like to know that I am still with you all the way on the GWOT and the support of our military. I cannot support you on the amnesty bill. You have asked alot of the people who have stood with you through these last years, and if you think about it, we really did not ask for so much in return.
One simple solution. One small step in the right direction.
What we got was a whole lot of guff from you and the others that are supposed to lead. Mr. President, you were wrong to ignore the wishes of the people who have kept faith with your administration, through thick and thin. You betrayed us by aligning yourself with Senator Kennedy and asking us to accept that our country forgive lawbreakers. I won’t and I never will. The Congress is a national disgrace, but I really did expect more from you, President Bush.
Sincerely,
