I think all my ideas deserve greater exposure, of course.
Sorry, but Bush has wanted this for years. And he apparently doesn’t care if he ruptures the GOP to get it.
What is a Vanity without a little shameless self-bumping thrown in for good measure...
No.
You got stock in Alcoa Aluminum??? :)
Stupidity
I was just telling my SIL this very morning the same thing.
Do not misunderestimate George Bush.
Bush made clear what he wanted a long time ago and quite frankly he and Rove aren’t that smart.
| We are now one of the largest Spanish-speaking nations in the world. We're a major source of Latin music, journalism and culture. Just go to Miami, or San Antonio, Los Angeles, Chicago or West New York, New Jersey ... and close your eyes and listen. You could just as easily be in Santo Domingo or Santiago, or San Miguel de Allende. For years our nation has debated this change -- some have praised it and others have resented it. By nominating me, my party has made a choice to welcome the new America. As I speak, we are celebrating the success of democracy in Mexico. George Bush from a campaign speech in Miami, August 2000. |
Here is an excerpt of a good critique of that speech:
In equating our intimate historic bonds to our mother country and to Canada with our ties to Mexico, W. shows a staggering ignorance of the civilizational facts of life. The reason we are so close to Britain and Canada is that we share with them a common historical culture, language, literature, and legal system, as well as similar standards of behavior, expectations of public officials, and so on. My Bush Epiphany By Lawrence Auster
I just keep thinking that people say don’t play poker with W.
As unlikely as it may be that you're right, I find myself hoping that you are. It's very sad to think of the more likely reason for it: that an elitist GWB just doesn't give a flip what the country wants.
Intentional or not, I do wonder how many people on the left were against SB1348 merely because Pres. Bush was for it.
To paraphrase, never ascribe to strategery that which can be explained by stupidity.
I thought perhaps they are slipping something under the table while we are all focused on this.
Also, everything a politician does is "strategy".
“If it is strategery, it is exceptionally subtle and devious, and would be a masterpiece. But they really couldn’t possibly be that clever, could they?”
Nope, not a chance.
Amnesty and Open Borders are just the necessary next steps.

This amnesty uproar has at least one positive side. How much have you heard about the surge strategy in Iraq? I’m positive this wasn’t Bush’s intention, but unintended consequences can be good.
I don’t believe so - the president indicated he wanted to something with immigration a year or two before he was elected, particularly the “guest worker” aspect. 9/11 put it all on the backburner but the ‘06 election allowed the rats to get it fron and center again.
Why did Bush support Specter over Toomey?? your theory is a poor attempt to portray Rove, et al as political wizards. They are like most politicians in Washington who ignore our Constitution. Rove is way over rated. He will never be in the league of Lee Atwater.
