President Bush insults his most loyal supporters

President Bush insulted his most loyal supporters yesterday by saying those who don't want the "immigration bill" are refusing to do "what's right for America."

WASHINGTON -
President Bush wants Congress to approve an immigration compromise bill that will be supported mainly by Democrats.

He’s no longer worried about getting re-elected, so in his pushing for the bill’s passage, Bush has now told millions of voters to get lost. These are the people who have been his most loyal supporters on virtually every other issue.

Yet Bush now condemns them as unwilling to do “what’s right for America” and accuses their allies in Congress of using “empty rhetoric” to misrepresent the bill as a form of amnesty for illegal aliens. Bush appealed for “a chance to fix the problems in a comprehensive way that enforces our border and treats people with decency and respect.”

We don’t see how it is either decent or respectful to label critics of the immigration bill as unpatriotic and intellectually dishonest.

In the most fundamental sense, the debate is not about whether people from foreign countries should be allowed to come here and become American citizens. In a post-9/11 world, the critical debate is about securing our borders; everything else is secondary.

Whatever happens with the immigration bill now being debated in Congress, Bush’s greatest failure has been his consistent refusal to take concrete and credible steps to secure America’s borders, especially the nearly 2,000 miles shared with Mexico.

It remains to be seen whether this bill is going to make it, but if it does, there's going to be hell to pay for those who support it; which doesn't bode well for the republican party.

Frustrated conservatives are aching for decisive leadership in congress as well as in the presidential race. There are plenty of politicians who stake claim to the "conservative" moniker, but who among them stands up unapologetically and challenges the foolish platitudes emanating from the left.

Where is the conservative who will demand that our borders be sealed to illegals. Where is the conservative who will demand we lift restrictions on domestic drilling, nuclear power plants and refineries? Where is he? Why isn't anyone seriously challenging Al Gore's faith-based global warming (now called "climate change" for obvious reasons) agenda? Why isn't anyone decrying the foolishness of socialistic medicine? Why isn't anyone explaining the fact that millions of illegals are destroying Social Security?

It seems as though the entire country is being hijacked by an immovable force who couldn't care less what the people want when it comes to secure borders and what's really good for us and our future.

Big Government gladly will respond to the pork mongers. Want more money for your special interest group? No problem! More billions for Africa? Only an insensitive hate filled conservative would question that.

How about we concentrate on securing the borders right now, and before making new, unenforceable laws (which would immediately legalize all of the illegals who are living here), we uphold and enforce our existing laws.

I've posted the above "Amigo de Mexico" illustration before, but I figure this is as good a time as any to repost it.

I'm not a republican; I'm a conservative. There are still a lot of conservatives out there, but the republican party has become nothing more than the democrat party and the dems have outed themselves as outright socialists. Both parties have listed to the far left leaving conservatives with no one to support.

Figure it out, elected republicans! You are cutting yourselves off from the people who put you in office!
