(20 yeas later cough) the problem may be too huge to overcome. Sitting home and pouting like in the last election does nothing to send a message other than cool we got them where we want them.

I was like two or three years old when the 86 amnesty went down, so don’t foist this crap on me. Second, I voted in the last election, even for that sh*theel Don Sherwood because I knew the House was in play, so don’t give me that either.

Yikes! That’s why I oppose it. Are you saing I have something in common with the kos kidz? You will not be forgiven for suggesting this, AP.

Once this stinker of a bill is passed, all that has to happen is for 51 senators next year to ‘amend’ the law by removing the sunset provision.

The bill must be stopped in its entirety. It must not be allowed to become law in any fashion or form.

That was a very thorough assessment of the facts and a realist approach to the solutions. Nice.

According to Presidente’ Jorge Boosh, we’re unpatriotic, unAmerican, and against him (the last one’s true enough for me…). After all, he be the most powerful man in the world, and you’re screwing with his only opportunity for a decent legacy he has left.

Then there are the many lolly-pop thieves baby kissers who are looking for an additional 12,000,000 new votes from the undocumented Americans, once they are given a free pass and done git documented.

No one wants to do the right thing or make the tough decisions, then do the actual work necessary to implement those tough decisions. It’s the path of least resistance to just call “King’s X” and at the same time make it appear they are the saviors of the modern day Grapes of Wrath. After all they are all hard working and want nothing more than a better life for themselves and their family. For God’s sake, think of the children!

The definition of good character is doing the right thing, when no one is looking. The definition of flim-flam is making it look like you’re doing the right thing, when all you’re doing is self-serving, when everybody is looking. The modern day politician is a self-serving flim-flam artist and wanna-be pop icon. They’re not interested in upholding the constitution or protecting America. They’re only interested in being popular and hedging their bets in an effort to reach the apex of the food chain.

This whole shamnesty thing is far from being dead. There will be version after version and rewrite after rewrite until a majority gets sick of dealing with it and/or they all reap some modicum of personal benefit. American politics is tantamount to an episode of Survivor and little else. In my estimation, that’s the driving force behind everything our reprobate politicians do… avoid being kicked off the island at all cost.

My question is, once they do implement their life-boat shamnesty bill, what are they going to do with those illegal immigrants who don’t, or can’t, comply? They don’t do anything comprehensive about it now, and they never have. What makes anyone think they will do anything comprehensive in the future? Oh yeah, that flim-flam thing…

You raise a good point. Recall at the Democratic debate that most of the Democrats didn’t even think it should be called the official language. It would prolong the amnesty process, as well.

Also, John McCain, when asked about official language, went rambling on about native American treaties.

Exit question: What am I missing?

We have to remember how this bill was crafted. It was created behind closed doors, in conjunction with special interest groups. There were two groups: one that wanted amnesty, the other that wanted unlimited cheap labor – big business.

Big business wasn’t looking for cheap labor for 5 years – that’s nothing for them. They wanted it permanently. I’m sure they’re working the phones this morning.

The problem is that conservatives sit on their behinds too much while liberals scream a lot (a mentao disease)

Nature of the beasts. Liberals view the right as representing everything evil in the world, and spend energy and vitriol in the effort to change things. Conservatives view the left as nieve and uninformed, so just wait for them to grow up……big mistake as we are seeing now, many never grow out of it. I have a good excuse, having grown up in a public education household, it took quite a number of years before I realized the true nature of the world. Not that one voice would have changed the march of American Marxism.

and when you do get up (20 yeas later cough) the problem may be too huge to overcome. Sitting home and pouting like in the last election does nothing to send a message other than cool we got them where we want them.

You helped make your bed…now you have to lie in it.

My own opinion is that it started with the liberal takeover of the public school system, but I’m biased that way, my old man was a school administrator.

DING DING DING…give that man a STAR!

It just might be. Here’s why. (Hot Air)……
