Reply #108: Yeah, Bush wanted this bill to pass. So did Obama--I think he has good intentions, don't you?

So did Boxer, Feinstein, and most of our "D" Senators. Who wanted this bill to fail? Rush, Hannity, Levin, Ingraham, Coulter, most of the R candidates, and all of Free Republic--maybe GWB was right on this, for once--for whatever reason. My Senators were split. Ben Nelson voted no, Hagel voted yes. I think both are decent guys. Good people can disagree on this issue, which is why it's hard to guess motives as to why someone supports/doesn't support it, from either side. As an aside, why is it bad for illegals to become "not illegal" and get bennies/health care? That would help them, AND our overburdened health care system in areas where they are numerous, perhaps.

On edit--maybe not Boxer--don't know how she voted.
