Did we just get Roved on immigration?
Bush's stance on immigration has pissed off his base and the republican politicians are tripping over each other denouncing Bush's rhetoric. I think this was a ploy to allow the republicans to distance themselves from the Emperor so they can use that to stump for '06.

These repukes have no integrity and have been the rubber stamp for all of Bush's abuses. Now they're throwing him under the bus?

2. I don't think that's the strat
I think you are seeing a disconnect between the corporate interests of the party and the social/ideological base. Bush has always been more of the corporate worlds man than anything else.

The business world wants cheap labor - Bush is going to try to give that to them.

I wouldn't be surprised if some of the Republicans use this to walk away from Bush, but I don't know if that will work; that strategy depends on the subject remaining immigration for the next 6 months and I don't think that is going to happen.

3. Ye-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-es, we have been Roved! But I have a slightly
differently twist to the pretzel.

Why is "immigration" suddenly "the issue"? Hm-m-m?

Oh, my, we have been led down the garden path on this one!

They set up the plausible narrative prior to the stolen election. They now have an even firmer grip on their capability for stealing millions of votes--more Diebold, ES&S, Sequoia electronic voting systems everywhere. One hacker, a couple of minutes, leaving no trace. All they need is access to the central tabulators, which ALSO contain private, corporate, 'TRADE SECRET,' PROPRIETARY programming code, with virtually no audit/recount controls.

Post-election twitter of the war profiteering corporate news monopolies: "It was immigration."

And all sorts of DUers and Dem leaders are playing along, as if this were a honest political debate.

Wake up, friends! Hatred of brown people will not win them any votes they don't already own in their 25% nutball base (plus 5% super-rich), but it WILL give them their delusional political post-election narrative spin.

If you want your country back, join with others to...

Throw Diebold, ES&S and ALL election theft machines into 'Boston Harbor' NOW!
