Bush is known for avoiding confrontation, in fact it's something that has angered the base for quite a while. So, who does Bush decide to take on after years of hostile rhetoric from the left? Why his base, of course.
“If you want to scare the American people, what you say is the bill’s an amnesty bill,” Mr. Bush said this afternoon at a training center for border enforcement agents located in this town in Georgia’s southeastern corner. “That’s empty political rhetoric, trying to frighten our citizens.”Not one of his most brilliant moments. Why would you want to tick off Michelle Malkin, Rush, Hannity, Hewitt and the rest of the right? They have been staunch advocates for the war on terror and many of his policies (in fact, Hewitt was one of the few who stood by the president's choice of Harriet Miers and Rush was in favor of the Dubai ports deal) now he wants to accuse them of fear-mongering? Not smart, babe. Not smart at all.
