Our esteemed commander-in-chief is reported to be surprised by conservatives' unhappiness with his proposed amnesty for illegal aliens and his callous dismissal of our concerns:
President Bush did not intend to single out his conservative supporters for criticism in a speech on immigration reform last week and was "surprised" that his remarks angered Republicans, White House spokesman Tony Snow said today. "He was surprised by the reaction," Mr. Snow said of Mr. Bush's speech in Glynco, Ga., last week. "The speech in Georgia was, 'We've got a serious problem and we need to fix it.' It was not in any way designed to be pointed at Republicans." But conservative opponents of a Senate immigration bill supported by Mr. Bush reacted furiously to the president's suggestion that they are resorting to scare tactics by using the word "amnesty" in referring to the measure that would allow millions of illegal aliens to remain in the United States.
Hey stupid, you are the one who is scaring us by offering amnesty to 20 million illegals. Here is how he belittles our concerns:
"Those determined to find fault with this bill will always be able to look at a narrow slice of it and find something they don't like," Mr. Bush said in the May 29 speech about the legislation now being debated in the Senate. "If you want to kill the bill, if you don't want to do what's right for America, you can pick one little aspect out of it, you can use it to frighten people. Or you can show leadership and solve this problem once and for all."
The amnesty provision with the Z-visas is not a 'narrow slice'. It is not one 'little aspect'. It is a critical and integral component of a bill, and it would foolishly repeat the mistake made back in 1986.
Mr. president, I voted for you in 2000 and 2004. I voted rfor your father when he ran for president in 1988 and 1992. I voted for him when he ran for VP in 1980 and 1984. I voted for your brother when I lived in Florida and he ran for governor in 1998 and 2002. Why are you so deaf to the concerns of the people who have supported you through thick and thin?
