Bush ~ " I'll see you at the bill signing."



Bush Vows to Get Immigration Bill Passed

SOFIA, Bulgaria
June 11

As he heads home from an eight-day European swing to face a hostile Congress, President Bush today lashed out at Democrats for holding a vote of no confidence on his attorney general, and vowed to get his stalled immigration legislation passed, saying, “I’ll see you at the bill signing.”

But while the president has been gone, his already diminished clout on Capitol hill has seemed to deteriorate further. The immigration bill was put on hold when Republicans revolted. He was forced to withdraw his nomination of General Peter Pace to be chairman of the military’s joint chiefs of staff to avoid a bruising nomination fight. Mr. Bush put the blame on Congress.

On immigration, Mr. Bush is facing a backlash in his party’s conservative wing, whose members decry the bill as amnesty. On Tuesday, he plans to attend the Senate Republican policy luncheon on Capitol Hill — a rare step for a president who typically has lawmakers come to him at the White House — in an effort to revive the measure.

“I’m under no illusions about how hard this is,” he said, adding that he was disappointed that the measure had been “temporarily derailed.”

Mr. Bush did not do much lobbying from afar. While on Air Force One Friday evening, on the way from Poland to Rome, he telephoned three top Republicans: Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the party leader; Senator Trent Lott of Mississippi, the whip, and Senator Jon Kyl of Arizona, an architect of the bill.

“The political process sometimes isn’t pretty to look at,” Mr. Bush said. “There’s two steps forward and one step back. We made two steps forward on immigration, we took a step back, and now I’m going to work with those who are focused on getting an immigration bill done and start taking some steps forward again. I believe we can get it done. I’ll see you at the bill signing.”


Wild Thing's comment............

This whole mess is still such a shock to me. I grew up respecting our laws, respecting those in authority and that I suppose makes it why I have a hard time understanding why a person does not obey our laws. I don't get it, how does a person hold a position of power at any level and not see that blatantly ignoring existing laws and pushing for something that favors those that break our laws weakens our country. An d that is just for starters how bad this is for Ameirca and it's future.

Bush needs to re-read The Declaration of Independence:

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,

That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.

But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.


Here we go again! Mr. President, we’re not going away either.

So, George W Bush has just finished up another G-Whiz 8 Conference where I am sure he bought lots of legacy by throwing tens of billions of our tax dollars around to a grateful and admiring world.

Now he is coming home with the promise of working on another legacy - turning America into another third world shithole. If he can just turn the US into a borderless population center of unassimilating, ungrateful Turd World criminals, his socialist goals will be fulfilled.

His probable legacy will be that he will finish his presidency with the lowest approval ratings of any President in modern history, and a broken and confused country as a result. His immigration policy is setting us up for a civil war and terrorist attacks.

Your right Tom this is some serious shit. I don't know if we can beat this one back.

Although, even if it passes the Senate it still has to go to the house and this may be a mere formality and maybe not.

The mood seems to favor us, We the People, but this looks like a pure crap shoot.

This is typical of Washington for handling a problem, change tactics, and over night these 12 million Illegals will, by the stroke of the pen, become instant Legal and Viola ! Problem Solved.

There can be no more illegal immigrants because the Senate just changed the category. This is the whole problem they don't live in the real world, but we do.

Is Bush really THAT out of it? Or does he really think we will always vote for him because the Commiecrat will always be worse, so why not Hispander?

Forget writing small checks, or walking precincts, or anything like that, unless by chance I a get a congresscritter candidate like Hunter in my district. My current congresscritter, Dan Lungren, is a Republican, but something of a putz.

Illegal alians are decent hard working people?

- Broke Immigratin laws by coming into the US Illegally
- Falsified documents to obtain work.
- Commited fraud and identity theft by using fradulant Social Security Card's and Numbers
- Obtained emergency healthcare without paying for such care.

Yup, real decent hard working people.

Please get the word out about this "March for America" rally. I found it on Hot Air in the comment section.

FINAL COUNTDOWN!!!

FINAL PUSH!

WE NEED YOUR HELP!

So here we are, less than a week from what is likely to be the most important rally of our lifetime and yet … we’re still getting emails from citizens who have absolutely no information on the March for America . There are millions of citizens out there who don’t even know the event is taking place!

This responsibility rests with each one of us! PLEASE!! Send this info to every person on your email list. Print out the fliers and pass them out to everyone you see. This rally absolutely MUST be a success, and at this point, we need every single person to act as a marketing agent.

THIS EVENT IS NOT ONLY IN WASHINGTON, DC!

There are events in several States throughout the country!

Please CLICK HERE to check for events in your area and if you’re within distance … PLEASE ATTEND!!

We know most American citizens are outraged at the current situation, yet attendance at events remain extremely low. THIS HAS TO STOP! If you find yourself angry, and if you find yourself consistently complaining about the lack of border security, the amnesty bill, illegal alien taxpayer benefits, or any other issue related to this cause … it’s time to leave the comfort of your home. It’s time to skip a soccer match. It’s time to be a part of the solution!

Below is a list of several informational links regarding the March for America . Please follow these links to find any info you may need, and PLEASE pass this email on to every person you know!!!

Ya know, just when I think they can't do anything dumber or more ludicrous, they prove me wrong, every damn time! Which is sorta scary...
I jokingly (kind of) made the remark that it's time for another revolution awhile ago - I may not be too far off. This has to stop and we need to take our country back not only from the illegals but the damn politicians.
I can't wait to get to VA!

Tincan Sailor, thank you.

Posted by: Wild Thing at June 11, 2007 11:08 PM

Tom, everything you said is how I feel about this too. I never expected him to be a Conservative we all knew he wasn't before his first term as President. But I did hope that when he decided to push the amnesty he wanted for the illegals he would see how his base and even others do not want this. But he just does not care.

Posted by: Wild Thing at June 11, 2007 11:13 PM

Mark, your right, they don't live in the real world.

Posted by: Wild Thing at June 11, 2007 11:16 PM

Nick Byram, at first I wondered if Bush was getting bad input from his team on this. You know like being told we did not mind this or something.
But with the things Bush has said and our response be overwhelming NO to Amnesty there is no way Bush does not know we are upset. Yet he, right in our faces says this like this about getting the Bill signed and then last week calling us bigots etc. It has nothing to do with hating immigrants at all, it has to do with illeglas and not securing the fence.

Posted by: Wild Thing at June 11, 2007 11:19 PM

Bob exactly, it is so off that it is a slap in our faces to even think we would fall for this stuff and the bashing of the Conservatives too.

Posted by: Wild Thing at June 11, 2007 11:21 PM

Dan thank you so much!!!

Posted by: Wild Thing at June 11, 2007 11:23 PM

Yankeemom, we sure live in dangerous and American changing times. I pray it happens that we all can make a difference and take back America from these lefties in both parties that we can see so clearly do not love America at all.

Thank you Yankeemom. Your going to VA? How neat, what a beautiful State.
