Dont forget Cali has the largest Mexican population in the US along with the most electoral votes. I have a really hard time believing Bush will lose this election. None of these democrats have a "plan" on how to beat him. They are letting the biggest issue go by (economy) while they all waste their time arguing about the War on Terror, which if polls are any indication is a losing battle for democrats. Bush stole the health care issue from them which was a huge reason the Democrats had alot of elders voting for them in the past and the democrats have not even touched upon education reform, abortion, civil liberties or anything yet.

They are blogged down on domestic and foriegn policies on the war on terror and if they don't get off of it today, then they are pretty much a lost cause. The personal attacks on eachother in the primaries also is making Bush look that much better. Why should anyone vote for a democrat when their own party argues over issues that are supposed to represent the party. Im not talking about just one issue either, they all have their own "views" on the way things should be. They will have a Republican congress as well, which will make it nearly impossible for any democrat, granted one was elected to implement his/her plan.

The democrats IMO already lost this election and have absolutely zero chance of taking Bush out, granted some extreme catastrophe from now to the election.


BTW: Let me add that Bush's immigration policy is a #ing joke. That had to be one of the worst Bills passed in the last 15 years, ranking right up their with allowing China most favored nation status and the WTO.

Losonczy,

okay consider this,

in many western countries that I have followed politics for the past 3 decades, it has been liberal and left wing governments that have been most in favour of immigration and have been soft on illegal immigration.

This is what happened in Canada, in recent years right wing governments have tried to woo immigrants but the experience has not been good. It seems that immigrants are eternally grateful to the political party that lets them in and often for generations vote for it in blind support.

I have to wonder if Bush will succeed with this policy? I would support it if I was American if I knew that Immigration and borders would be tightened up to reduce the problem in future but so far I don't see that happening.


I hear what you're saying...and I'm telling you...no Democrat said, "come on Bush, help out the Illegals." He came up with this crap on his own. Democrats tend to be working class...and in the last decade have feared they might lose work to illegals. Republicans and rich Independents are those that sell the story that "American's don't want these jobs." Americans (legal) want any job that they don't have to work at poverty wages. The Democrats didn't create this. The Democrats didn't let the illegals in. This is NOT a Democrat issue. This is a very strange and convenient policy decision coming from Bush. I listened to all the Republicans in the early 90s bitching about NAFTA. They didn't seem to give a crap about Mexico and Canada then...now suddenly they have a conscious about illegals and trade with the North and South to the detriment of the American people they are supposed to represent. And don't forget, these Republicans aren't your friends...the whole damn country would rather buy our prescriptions from Canada where we can get a fair deal...but it's the REpublicans with Pharmaceutical special interests that are trying to ban our import of Canadian drugs. Think about it. For the Republicans, it's about money and numbers and winning...not about what's good for the people.
