CWO, can you recognize that there are those of us who support the President and despise the shabby treatment he is receiving from some in his own party as well as the msm, but who also feel he is making a mistake by aligning with the senate version of the "immigration reform" that will if enacted be a disastrous "amnesty lite" program rather than pushing for the senate to adopt more of the enforcement and border security aspects of the house version? Can you acknowledge that Reagan's second biggest mistake (Sandy O'Connor was his biggest mistake) was signing the Amnesty progam 20 years ago that lead to a huge upsurge in illegal immigration because it did not include strict enforcment and disincentives to future illegal border crossers? How about encouraging people to write a positive supportive letter to the President that also points out that we can't afford to continue rewarding people who flout our laws, especially with shortcuts to citizenship.

dirtboy, can you acknowledge that withholding support for the GOP this November and/or in November 08 and giving control over to the democrats would make the situation even worse, regardless of how angry and disappointed you are that the President is missing the mark on this issue?

Heck, I've said for some time it is critical to re-elect the GOP House members this year. And vote for conservative Senators (please never ask me to vote for Arlen Specter). And my point has been that Bush's stance on wanting a guest worker program now is harming the chances for the GOP to hold the House. That is why I am so vehement about this. For some reason, folks equate opposition to Bush on this issue to opposition to the larger House GOP. When the opposite, IMO, is the case.

That statement most likely describes every Bushbot on FR. The President has picked up the ball and is now running with it. He has to work with a Congress that is being polarized by both extremes on this issue which could most likely end in gridlock and NOTHING being passed. What is the zero sum of that? Nothing but more complaining.

I'm going to give him my support for a difficult task ahead.
