    Bush’s Push on Immigration Tests G.O.P. Base

    Bush’s Push on Immigration Tests G.O.P. Base

    By JIM RUTENBERG and CARL HULSE
    Published: June 3, 2007

    WASHINGTON, June 2 — President Bush’s advocacy of an immigration overhaul and his attacks on critics of the plan are provoking an unusually intense backlash from conservatives who form the bulwark of his remaining support, splintering his base and laying bare divisions within a party whose unity has been the envy of Democrats.

    It has pitted some of Mr. Bush’s most stalwart Congressional and grass-roots backers against him, inciting a vitriol that has at times exceeded anything seen yet between Mr. Bush and his supporters, who have generally stood with him through the toughest patches of his presidency. Those supporters now view him as pursuing amnesty for foreign law breakers when he should be focusing on border security.

    Postings on conservative Web sites this week have gone so far as to call for Mr. Bush’s impeachment, and usually friendly radio hosts, commentators and Congressional allies are warning that he stands to lose supporters — a potentially damaging development, they say, when he needs all the backing he can get on other vital matters like the war in Iraq.

    “I think President Bush hurts himself every time he says it is not amnesty,â€

    Bush has split his party like no one I've ever seen.

    He keeps this up and he's going to be a very lonely man.

    [quote]r. Rove said he did not think that anger over immigration within the party would affect support for the president on the war and other national security issues. “People are able to say, ‘I don’t need to agree with anyone 100 percent of the time to be with them on the most important issue facing America,’ â€
    It's like hell vomited and the Bush administration appeared.

    Bush has split his party because party no longer matters to Bush. At this point, the only goal is moving the NAU and his open borders agenda forward.

    GOP base? There is still one left

    How naive and out of touch these people are. I've always thought Rove was the one for so many failed policies. They don't understand that immigration is the ONLY issue,everything else is irrelevant. After this I will vote for anyone other than Republicans because it just won't matter.

    [quote]The president’s brother, Jeb Bush, and his former campaign manager, Ken Mehlman, wrote an Op-Ed article in The Wall Street Journal pleading the case for the legislation, lamenting that the debate, “has led many close personal and ideological friends — people we respect and whose criticism we take seriously — to oppose new rules governing how people enter this country and how we handle those who are here illegally. But we hope our friends reconsider.â€

    Karl Rove, Mr. Bush’s top political adviser, said Friday he was confident that the White House would win over its critics as it explained the details of the bill and the administration’s continuing efforts to enforce existing border control laws.
    These people are idiots! We already know the details and we don't like them! Can't you get that through your thick skull, Rove!
    REMEMBER IN NOVEMBER!
