Please provide your posts prior to 2004 where you complained about Bush’s stated agenda?

Since you just got here in March laurie, you'll have to take our word for it that FReepers were all over the President for the "no child left behind" and the prescription drug plan, among other spending items.

We've been steadfastly with him in the war on terror. But there has been no hesitation to criticize his domestic spending.

You can look it up. We really shouldn't have to do your homework for you.

You can't keep up?

He was pushing amnesty in 2001. The 9-11 attacks put that on hold. They re-started it in 2002. It was stopped in the Senate on a technicality. Do you know who stopped it? They tried to revive it, but with terrorism and the election top priorities, it never got much of a following to try again. Then amnesty was pushed after the 2004 election, because Bush knew (1) he didn't have to worry about re-election and (2) he had 4 years to make it happen. It was pushing through the REPUBLICAN SENATE in 2006. The Republican House stopped it. It was pushed again in 2007, with slight revisions. It was stopped in the DEMOCRATIC SENATE. It was resurrected, slightly revised, bumped up with a $4.4 billion bribe, and it got shot down again, most by Republicans in the DEMOCRATIC SENATE.

So, did you figure out who stopped it on a technicality in 2002? Senator Robert Byrd (D-WVA).

Like it or not, it seems a Democratic Senator shot it the first time, and the Democratci Senate killed it twice this year (so far).

That is a better track record than the Republican President pushing it, reviving it, pushing it, reviving it; and the Republican Senate passing it in 2006.

Just before the 2002 election the RNC sent out a memo to the party leaders through the country and told them to avoid the issue of immigration.

If you need more information, try googling. It can be fun and educational.

You are correct.

Pres. Bush's position on immigration hasn't changed over the years. However, conservatives made it a huge issue just recently and they are pretending Pres. Bush blind-sided them.

They elected him. If they didn't like his position on child-left-behind and prescription drugs also they shouldn't have elected him because these were also his positions.

However, his positions were also tax cuts, pro-life positions, defense initiatives. He has wonderfully performed on these also yet many conservatives continue to call Bush a traitor, RINO, liar, etc. etc. But overall he has largely done what he said he would do...the platform he was elected on.

The "all Bush's fault" cabal has taken over here. No wonder so many have left FR.
