"It’s not amnesty. It’s a massive Presidential Pardon."

You can say that again!!! Well put!!!

[Cowboy Bob]

If only Bush had fought this hard to capture OBL...

“I am beginning to think that why should a boy down the street give his life for a country that is willing to sell itself out.”

How absolutely right you are. I greatly admire our armed forces not only for their heroism but mostly for their dedication to a government that sells out their homeland as their backs are turned while facing the enemy. What a shameless bunch of politicians do we have in Washington.

[Prokopton]

After he gets done with the Republican party his legacy will be the one party system.

I fear his legacy will eventually be violence in the streets of America.

“..which include gang members, felons, child molesters, fraud perpetrators, drug runners, smugglers etc.....”

And don’t forget the many jihadists who have sneaked across the border during that time.

“And, even though her Democrats would benefit from this abomination, she clearly grasps that America wouldn’t.”

Which means that Froma places the welfare of her country before personal gratification. Bush, democrats and RINOs could learn something from her.

At some point, this conservative is starting to think along these lines..."If Bush cannot be trusted with protecting the US from invasion, when he has proven to be mendacious beyond doubt.... why did I trust him to conduct a foreign war?"

Exactly, me too.

[Drew68]

even though her Democrats would benefit from this abomination, she clearly grasps that America wouldn't.

It is possible that the Democrats might lose more votes from black laborers and blue-collar union members than they would gain from the Mexican immigrants who undercut them in the job market.

I'm sure they're crunching the numbers.

There is something very wrong about wanting this horrible bill so badly.

Wouldn't you love to know the specifics about what is really, really behind this? If Bush had worked this hard on securing the border and done so, he'd be a hero. But instead, he uses border enforcement as a bargaining chip (or blackmail if you wish) to get amnesty, when we all know he has no intention of stopping the invasion even if he gets his amnesty.

I really do not trust him at all any more.

[Duke Nukum]

Why does he want his legacy to be surrendering to Mexico? Makes no sense.

[Bronzewound]

Good one! The ring is brilliant.

[1COUNTER-MORTER-68]

I wonder what is the lowest his approval rating can get ??

[pray4liberty]

Clout? What clout?

[So Circumstanced]

Impeach

[Travis McGee]

Yeah, that one’s a keeper for sure.

Here’s a simple idea to build public support for an immigration compromise: Have Congress pass the part of the bill that would force employers to check all new hires’ eligibility to work in the United States with a database (and fine those who don’t). Once that’s being done to the public’s satisfaction, we can discuss what to do about the illegal immigrants living here and whether to increase the number of legal visas.

Enforce the law and build the damn fence, simple.

..."If Bush cannot be trusted with protecting the US from invasion, when he has proven to be mendacious beyond doubt.... why did I trust him to conduct a foreign war?"

Damn good question!

[buccaneer81]

..but won’t pardon a handful of border patrol agents and law enforcement officials or Libby.

Post of the day!!
