RE: RE: Legalization for aliens a 'must,' Bush announces

I don't know how you vote but I vote for the person, not the party.

Fair enough. Who was the last non-Republican you voted for?

I would assume you're not voting for any Republicans this year or in the future.

That's a generally good assumption on the national level. I will vote for one Republican, the current Sheriff of Stokes County, but I know him personally and he won't be exerting any influence over national policy in any case. As for the future, who knows?

Isn't Bush the leader of the GOP?

Nominally and traditionally, but I said leadership, which means the whole breadth of Republicans at the top. Republicans have been selling themselves as the party of principle. Let's see some of that in action here. If principle means you need to cut your President loose because he's an idiot, then go for it. So far, I sure don't see any of that happening.

They didn't pass the immigration bill he wanted; that was pretty effective if you ask me.

Not because of anything the leadership did. There was a revolt in the House, embarrassing the House leadership into stalling, but hide and watch. That Senate bill will be passed, nearly intact, just as soon as the GOP has secured its majority in both houses after the elections. You can take that to the bank.
