Spitting in the face of his constituents since 2000

I must admit the President has some moxie. I remember him saying during the debate that he supported a form of amnesty for illegal immigrants, but I never thought he'd propose something to upset his base so quickly after the election:

President Bush yesterday moved aggressively to resurrect his plan to relax rules against illegal immigration, a move bound to anger conservatives just days after they helped re-elect him.

The president met privately in the Oval Office with Sen. John McCain to discuss jump-starting a stalled White House initiative that would grant legal status to millions of immigrants who broke the law to enter the United States.

It makes me wonder, though, if this is a case of Bush's supporters not understanding exactly what it is he supports, or another case of Bush not caring what the people want.

I imagine that Bush just wants to lose this fight quickly (and he will) so he can get back to lowering taxes for the wealthy and underfunding school programs.

Either way, I heard Pat Buchanan showed up at the White House with some blueprints and a trowel.
