Bush: Gimme My Amnesty Back!
In a bid to alienate the three or four dozen conservatives who still support him, President Bush is still after that sweet, sweet amnesty.
WASHINGTON (CNN) — President Bush considers it premature to declare the immigration reform bill dead in the Senate, White House adviser Dan Bartlett said Friday.I guess this answers Kathryn Jean Lopez's question of whether this political marriage can be saved, huh?A motion to cut off debate on the measure failed Thursday night, stopping the proposal from coming up for a vote. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid had said earlier that if the motion was not approved, it would be “over with … gone.”
But Bartlett told CNN that Bush wants Reid to consider putting the bill back on the table.
