I was merely offering an alternative explaination for what seems to be a very, very stupid move on the White Houses part. Sometimes things are what they seem to be. And in this case I think it's nothing more than the latest in a collection of bone-headed moves on the part of the administration.

I, for one, have never underestimated George Bush, and find your theory quite plausible.
He looks far down the road and sees what actions his opponents are likely to do and plans for it. He doesn’t dissuade his opponents action but lets them dig their own grave until they can no longer back track, they are in too deep.
Iraq and the WOT is one and immigration another and the Harriet Myers nomination was true genius.
IMO.

“It was the closest thing he did to unite the GOP since he invaded Iraq. Intentionally or not.”
I don’t know, pissant. I think mostly it just exposed the dark side of the GOP. Americans of all creeds and political affiliations came out to protest this mess of a bill.

I think the words “strategery” and “magnificent bastard” have been rendered redundant as of November 2006.
To: jebeier
Not a bad theory except for the reports that Bush plans to revive the bill next month. If your theory were true and the damage to the Democrats and McCain were already done there would be no need to do so. Nope, Bush believes he’s right and he’s willing to sink the Republican party to get his way.

GWB is going to do a lot of damage before he is out of office. Nothing that we should have not already known...NAU is the goal, IMO.

I thought this same thing last year during the first round in the senate. Now, I do not believe it for a minute.

His push for Mel Martinez as head of the G.O.P. asys you are nuts.
To: jebeier
I would guess you are a Bush man and trying to find a saving grace for this immigration crap but, sorry, there is no excuse. He didn’t have a grand plan except to legalize millions of unlawful aliens who should be headed home, where ever home may be, it certainly isn’t here. Bush has touted this amnesty since he was elected in 2000 but no one paid much attention to it until he decided to make it his legacy.

President Bush is a lame duck. Why would anyone who has gone this far cave? If anything this will embolden the opposition. Keep vigilant but I believe its dead.
Now maybe Duncan Hunter can continue to raise a stink over the fact that a previous bill to build 850 miles of border fence that got 85 votes in the Senate and the President signed has not been honored and tell the President to honor that and then we will talk. We built the Hoover Dam we can do this.

Conservative are the only Strategists left in the GOP. The rest are fat, dumb, happy, and bought and paid for by special interests.

Rove's still scratching his head and "W" wonders today if Putin tried to poison him at dinner yesterday. Not funny, but ROTFL.

Couldn't help it. The opportunity was creating itself. Those who were really up on the news knew all about "W"'s tummy problems this morning.
Wonder if the Secret Service checked his stool with a geiger counter?!

I don't normally dis a brother or sister Freeper. And I won't here.
But I don't think that's where Bush is going. He's lost so many of us now, and with a year or so left to go, I think he is doing someone else's bidding.
This may kill the GOP, but it may also create a new Reagan Conservative party.

Good job of finding the pony in that pile of horse manure Ronald Reagan used to joke about. The chances of your pony being real are about as great as the hopeful little boy’s who felt there had to be a pony in there somewhere. Sorry, it ain’t so.

Here's another idea: they're trying to avoid a
lawsuit.

Interesting.
People certainly did get involved in a discussion on this issue. When Bush brought up his guest worker program 3 years ago, nobody paid attention.
A year ago, it seemed the illegal immigrants held the upper hand.

One should not confuse "strategy" with "strategery". They are two very different things.
Yes, one's a word commonly used in the English Language, the other is gutter gibberish. Blackbird.
