For those who believe that to be a conservative, you must be susceptible to the "Jedi mind tricks" of President Bush, this cheese is for you.
Late last month, the president scolded anyone who is in favor of axing the new immigration bill drafted by Senator Ted Kennedy and his bipartisan committee. (Bipartisan in this context means two RINOs dancing to the sound of jubilant braying).
For a group whose primary values appear to be equality and choice, the "bipartisan" committee has shown they don't give a flip about those who have lawfully applied for, and in some cases obtained "amnesty" in this country.
Many of those legal immigrants are making their voices heard. Their questions are legitimate. Why, they ask, is the government rewarding those who have broken the law by making the offenders' actions legal and why are those who have sought the proper legal channels being ignored? So far, no word yet from the president or the back room committee who drafted this bill. MUM is the operative word, here.
Even from a purely pragmatic point of view, this legislation is counterintuitive. When you take this down, reductio ad absurdum, you and I are basically going to be coerced into supporting monetarily 12 million people who willingly broke the law to get here and are now demanding we let them stay.
I am reminded of a scene from StarWars Episode I, where one of the Trade Federation types asks Senator Palpatine, aka Lord Sidious, about the legality of a proposed Federation action. Palpatine's response? "I will make it legal." That's your liberal, (excuse me a moment…<PUKE!>)…I mean, "bipartisan" committee's answer to the immigration problem. And you thought the moon was made of cheese.

Bush has always pandered to the Latino/a community. Without them he never would have won in Texas, and they helped him in the last Pres election. If anything Bush is consistent.
Kennedy, hell, what do you say about him?
Personally, I say let’em in, we’re becoming a “third world” country anyway. Let’s get it over already and stop dragging it out.
Like you and I discussed before, if Bush and Kerry are the best we have out of 300 million we should just pack it in and call it a day. And this new lot is even worse.
