    He's showing actual political cojones.

    I'm impressed.

    as am I. I actually applaud this effort on his part.



    you hear spunk?

    Actaully, I am not suprised, we are still on opposite sides of the issues, because I see this as irresponsible action.

By Antigone on Wednesday, January 7, 2004 - 05:54 pm:

    Exactly why I posted, and why Bush has balls on this issue. This is actually a shift, from relying on a base of immigration backwaters such as yourself to immigrants. Rove and company would never have approved of this unless they calculated that people such as yourself were either 1) a minority of the party, easily discarded in favor of Mexican immigrant votes, or 2) suckers who could and would go nowhere else, politically.

    Consider yourself assfucked, son.

    id love to hear how its "irresponsible" spunky?


    for no other reason than for the fact that i actually love hearing rants about immigration and jobs and silly shit like that simply because of the overbearing absurdity of the argument

    this is an impressive political move but i don't know about ballsy. the chance that a bush supporter would vote dean over this issue is next to nothing. however, it takes another liberal policy away from the dems, gains the pubs a significant new voter bloc and even lets the conservative pundits gloat about how fair and balanced they are for opposing the president. pretty fucking smart.

    but don't for a second think this was done with concern for relieving immigrant-driven economic or social pressures. this is pure, radical election strategy.

    i take it back, it is ballsy.

    it kinda goes back to the David Cross article that was posted:

    when he's bending over backwards for political purposes now, considering all he's done thus far...

    whats gonna happen when he has 4 full years where he doesnt have to worry about re-election?

By patrick on Wednesday, January 7, 2004 - 06:33 pm:

    the move i've thought about that idea rowlf, the more im think its an very very important point. everything he has done up until now, for the most part, is designed for re-election. if he wins another term.....

    ...liberal castration?

    after all, the democratic party and CBS have already been given the snip.

    latinos in california will be a majority in the near future. make all the illegals legal and get them voting for the elephant and the republicans might actually start taking the golden state in presidential elections.

    imagine what that would do.

    you know, i still actually dont think that they will...
