I have noticed several Republicans post questions/answers now saying it was Kennedy's bill, when it was clearly a Presidential priority to get this bill passed. What do you think of the latest attempt to blame the Democrats for Bush's idiocy?

nobody cares about yahoo. it has no influence on anybody. bizarre that people bother to tell lies on here as if their opinions matter to anybody. it's bush's bill. he recruited kennedy to help. kennedy brought enough dems on board, but bush can no longer lead his own party.

Consider the source. "Republicans" never admit being wrong. Bush was on every news clip telling Americans "this is not a Amnesty bill" when it was. Everyone with even half a brain knows when Bush speaks he's telling a lie.. I also noticed that some Conservatives were blaming "talk Radio" for feeding the public interest and defeating the bill. That would be Rush Limpwad..

One of those was mine, and I'm not a Republican. (Registered Libertarian).
I just noted that it was interesting how the headlines today refered to it as Bush's Immigration bill, when just two days before when it looked like it was heading for victory, it was still the Kennedy-McCain bill, backed by the President.
There's no question Bush betrayed his party and his country by supporting Amnesty, but he wasn't alone... Kenedy, McCain, and 44 other Senators share his guilt.

Let see Kennedy wrote the bill. Reid is the Leader in the Senate yet it is Bush who fell. Good Left Wing Logic. The only thing Bush fell at is not learning from his father. You can not work with Democrats. If you give them what they want they will turn on you. If you side with them and it fell, they will turn on you. If you work with them and things go bad, they will turn on you. If you get something pass that they have been trying for years to pass but could not, they will turn on you. I don't know of any Republicans who are acting as if Bush did not have any thing to do with this. He has been greatly attacked for his support. And you can be sure that the Republicans in the Senate will pay for their support come the next time we have a chance to vote them out. And the VP from Az., Lindsey Graham will be one of the first.

So a few people properly attribute the bill to its sponsors - Kennedy and McCain, and all of a sudden Republicans act as if Bush didn't support it?
Based on what facts or reality, exactly. Conservatives have been hammering Bush and McCain about this bill for months. Nobody is not pinning this one on Bush, too.
Stop fabricating!

The bill was BI-Partisan, Kennedy and McCain, repub and dem. Bush pushed this bill like he was a pharmaceutical lobbyist begging for Corporate Welfare. Bush made this bill his with statements like, "If you know what is good for America, you will support this bill." , 'If you do not support this bill, you are un-American."
I commend the Repubs for stopping it but again, Bush wanted it, lobbied for it, endorsed it, and revived it when it died the first time, and he is GOP.

"I myself have seen a fool taking root, but suddenly his house was cursed." Job 5:3 (NIV)
President W is now a lame duck. In 18 months, the United States will get "back to business." The world is waiting for the USA to take charge of global economy. (one world nation)

Thats their style. They stand on the backs of the Dems and the working poor in America to further their Nazi agenda.

Yes, I've seen them doing that. But, in the same breath, I also have to congratulate the Republicans for defeating this bill. It wouldn't have been defeated without their votes. One point for the GOP.

Heck no. We blasted him for it too. We do not "Lock Step" like some other folks. We think independently. Try it some time. It's freeing.
39 Democrat Senators voted to allow 12-20 million criminals go free. And Bush is to blame also.
And they can't say "Bush lied to us about intelligence reports" this time.
