Yeah, I’d have to give him a C+ for that too.

Marie: His speech should be received as a victory by those who have worked diligently to sway the mind of our Commander-in-Chief. However, the naysayers are out there pitching their ….

I’ll tell you what I’m pitching Marie. I’m pitching a tent, yahknow what i mean? I think it’s that fuzzy sweater that does it for me

Bush needs to go back to logic class and look up the strawman fallacy.

doesn’t sit quite right. Gary appealing to logic? Please.

While I am not a huge union fan, I prefer unionized auto workers over guest worker auto workers.

(shakes head so quickly lips go fap-fap-hubbada-hubbada)

Suggested background music: anything by The Connies (aka “Conservatism Will Eat Itself”).

The things I liked about the speech include:

1) The Guard guarding our border
2) The new technology being used to guard the boader
3) Penalizing businesses which hire illegals

The things I hated in the speech include

1) Bush shilling for his guest worker program as a solution to this problem. He thinks that the guest worker program would give jobs that Americans don’t want to do to some foreigner. That’s not true. The fact is that if the guest worker program is implemented, I guarantee you that at least half of the automobile companies in this nation will fire their American workers and hire ‘guest workers’. The guest worker idea is a big government stinkaroo.

2) Bush is personally insulting me and conservatives like me when it comes to talking about “tone”. He wants to walk around and say that people shouldn’t inflame tensions on this issue, but he also said that illegal immigration causes crime. He can’t live two ways at the same time.

Bush needs to go back to logic class and look up the strawman fallacy.

3) Bush is also delusional when it comes to the deporting illegal immigrants. It can be done.

The fact is that the guest worker program is a program which will expand big government and cost Americans jobs, which will undo the economic prosperity generated by Bush.

The fact is that Bush is advocating backdoor amnesty.

This speech wasn’t good enough to get him back to 45%.

He didn’t do enough to make his base feel better and he didn’t do enough to win over the so-called middle.

The fact is that when this speech is over, the people who are bashing him over Iraq will continue to bash him over Iraq and the pople who are bashing him over immigration won’t be made happy enough.

C+ speech from Bush.

Hee-hee. Bush is t to tha’ izz-oast. Stick a fork in him, he is done, done, done.

Well, I guess that means Bush’s approval ratings will stay in the low 30′s and the Republicans will not win in November. For once, we agree.

Geez, even Ruppert didn’t like the speech. That must have been one crap-o-la speech.

“Penalties for companies who hire illegals” WHEEEEE

“It’s not possible to deport every illegal immigrant” NOOOOOO

And Bush’s plan is AM-NEST-EE

Anything which allows illegal immigrants to gain citizenship in exchange for illegally immigrating is amnesty.

and then he goes to his guest worker program.

SWIIIIIIIIIISH

SWIIIIIIIIIIIIIISH

Oh George, you were hitting home runs.

No catch and release.
More security.

And you had to bring in your stupid pet project.

Now there’s a strategy. Go out on the speech circuit and NOT talk about the programs you’re trying to advance. Your numbers will skyrocket!

Seriously, Gary, whaddya think, should he just go out there are ride around on a 4 wheeler wearing his new Border Patrol jacket? You think that’s gonna put his numbers up 15 points in 2 weeks?

Putting a security force on the border is a very popular idea, which will propell the Republicans to victory in November.
