‘S a funny thing about political capital:  Y’always think you have more than you do, and y’always spend it faster than you think.
Case in point:  George W. “Wussya” Bush.  Oh yeah, after the ’04 election, he crowed that he had a ton of the stuff, and that he was going to “spend it”.  And then he proceeded to do the drunken sailor act thereupon.
Well, now he’s tapped.  Last little bit – with me and a couple of other folks, anyway – came the other day when he flat-out refused to do squat about the undocumented workers guest workers illegal aliens invasion force that’s infected the country he swore to protect & defend.
President Bush, rebutting lawmakers advocating a law-and-order approach to immigration, said Monday that those who are calling for massive deportation of the estimated 11 million foreigners living illegally in the United States are not being realistic.
“Massive deportation of the people here is not going to work,” Bush said as a Congress divided over immigration returned from a two-week recess. “It’s just not going to work.”
News flash, President Suck-VinnieFox’s-Dickya:  Massive re-elections of your party’s incumbents is not going to work.  It’s just not going to work.
See?  Two – or 60,000,000 – can play that game, as well.
Bush spoke in support of a stalled Senate bill that includes provisions that would allow for eventual citizenship to some of the illegal immigrants already here. Some conservatives say that would amount to amnesty.
“This is one of the really important questions Congress is going to have to deal with,” Bush said. The president said he thought the Senate “had an interesting approach by saying that if you’d been here for five years or less, you’re treated one way, and five years or more, you’re treated another.”
That’s what you get when you ask a bunch of elitist shits to write anything resembling legislation:  Fucking class warfare.
Standing in the center of a theater in the round-type setting with an audience full of business people, Bush spoke sympathetically about the plight of foreigners who risk their lives to sneak into the United States to earn a decent wage. He said the U.S. needs a temporary guest worker program to stop people from paying to be smuggled in the back of a truck.
“I know this is an emotional debate,” Bush told the Orange County Business Council. “But one thing we can’t lose sight of is that we are talking about human beings, decent human beings.”
Sorry, Pissheadya, I wouldn’t call people who intentionally flaunt our laws “decent”.  And I’ve been having serious doubts for awhile now about an asshole who’d defend ’em.
First the Religion of Pus, now these illegal fucks.  Why the Hell™ do you keep defending those who mean us harm?
Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, R-Tenn., intends to seek passage of immigration legislation by Memorial Day by reviving the Senate bill that stalled earlier this month due to internal disputes in both parties as well as political maneuvering.
Gee, ‘sfunny.  I coulda sworn  that particular crock o’ shit stalled because the people stood up and kicked the Senate in it’s collective ‘nads.
Guess the Senate’s up for another racking, hm?
In a gesture to conservative critics of the measure, Republican leadership aides said last week that Frist also will seek roughly $2 billion in immediate additional spending for border protection.
Nuh-uh, Doctor Zhivago.  We’re fucking sick & tired of “gestures”.  Give us a bill with teeth, or prepare to be de-fanged come November.
After his immigration speech, Bush was ending a four-day stay in California that also featured speeches on U.S. competitiveness and his energy plan, meetings with Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and former President Ford and plenty of time on his bike.
Bush’s massive entourage took an overnight detour to Napa Valley just so he could bike through the picturesque wine country Saturday, and he rode Sunday morning to a peak overlooking Palm Springs.
He planned to stop in Las Vegas on his way home Monday to raise money for Republican Rep. Jon Porter at the Venetian Resort Hotel Casino.
Hmmm.  Maybe he wants to win some “political capital” at the blackjack tables…

Spats,
Wasn’t it Brother Bob Plett who said that it is time for another revolution?
whoever it was, I am beginning to think he was right!
