I think all my ideas deserve greater exposure, of course.
too clever by half
So many Bush bots are tempted to say, "say it isn''t so, George." It's all part of Rove's master strategy instead of the plain truth that GW is an elitist and sold out despite the faked Texan accent.
One thing we know about President Bush is that he has a long memory and likes to get even with his enemies
We do? He does? If so, he’s kept it hidden for the past 7 years. I WISH it were true, but he keeps turning the other cheek.
In 2003, I would have bought this argument.
Not now.
Perhaps your list was an unintended/unforseen positive of the bill, but I unfortunately doubt that was W’s intent, as much as I wish it were.
Sorry, if W wanted good immigration policy, he would have been enforcing the law for the last 6 years.
Clinton deported more illegals in any single year of his Presidency than Bush did in his entire first term. Bush has only had some highly publicized raids when legislation is pending. People aren’t being fooled this time. Read the article in National Review by John O’Sullivan.
And that is post 9/11, when Bush was supposedly making America’s security #1. Obviously, cheap labor is more important than security in his mind. That is why there is so much furor over this. We now know that there are things that W will put in front of protecting us.
So why did we swallow the Patriot Act, etc.?
I used to think that W and Rove planned the whole Miers/Alito thing to get Alito in.
Now I’m not so sure — this immigration business makes me wonder if Bush really wanted Miers, and that we just got lucky that the base revolted. It was us who made Alito happen, and it will be us that stops immigration “reform” madness.
Soo... Are you in that 34% that’s still approving of him??
Yeah yeah yeah ... I gave up on the meme of “W” the amazing kreskin who would *appear* to do something stupid that ended up working well ... oh, around the time I figured out the WMDs would never be found in Iraq. if it works for the good of conservatives it will be due to the work of others, not Bush.
meanwhile:
- RNC and RNSC contributions are plummetting
- advisors say that immigration bill could cost us *another* 5 senate seats
- Reid and Pelosi are so incompetent/brilliant they have no fingerprints on any bill at all, so it remains a “BUSH BILL” and not a Democrat bill in voter’s eyes
- Bush’s popularity plummets to Nixon-74-ish levels, leaving him zero capital to do ANYTHING. A lamest duck.
