One of the biggest Shamnesty frauds is Lamar Alexander of TN. He has hypocritically stated that he will vote against the bill but FOR cloture.

It’s not just conservatives who are PO’d about this whole travesty. I work with a bunch of folks I’d classify “Independants” like I am (if remarks of F’ing Democrats and F’ing Republicans is any clue). Well, nobody I’ve talked to about this likes it one bit. Except for snarky humor (”you just hate brown people, don’t ya?”), most people I know are seriously upset about this. Keep up the pressure folks.

Joementum is going to be getting my rather rude opinion about his vote FOR cloture, and I’m someone who wholeheartedly supported his shift to Independant. I like the guy. He helped save thousands upon thousands of jobs in SE CT. He knows that sometimes, a punch in the snot locker is in order (Afghanistan/Iraq). However, his apparent support of this bill irritates me to no end.

Conservatives are not alone in their fight against this detestable partial-birth abortion of the American Way.

Ahhh… but you see there will still be plenty of illegals to go around…

Many won’t put in for the Z… and Obama and such are already trying to get the national ID card out of the bill…

CBO says it will only cut illegal Imm by about 25%….

Win/Win for business…

Hmmm… and just hit me… how can we put a date on somthing for amnesty under the equal protection clause?

Just emailed McCaskill, who in fairness has been solid in opposing the bill. I hope she wasn’t ‘bought’ with an amendment. I mentioned that!

I don’t understand why big business would want this. Once their illegal workers are legal they will demand more pay … yadda yadda yadda … inflation will increase which is bad for business.

Well, I’ve done my duty once again, letting Sen. Alexander know how I’ll vote in his reelection if he votes for cloture or passage of the bill.

We’ve made our voice known on this. I believe they think we’re all as short-sighted as the Democrats are on the GWOT and will forget this come election time. I won’t. And I think that the majority of conservatives are reaching their boiling point on this issue. Hopefully, we will coalesce into the conservative party as we were before. If not, I know not what.

Here’s hoping….

Since Reid is a con-genital-less liar, I’m hoping he is running (his mouth) true to form.

Amnesty NOT.

I’m stunned that Hutchison is on the might-have-been-bought list! Rumor is that she might run for Texas governor at some point. No way Texans would support her if she sells out on this.

In fact, I’m a bit surprised that the pro-amnesty side hasn’t done much about communicating the adverse economic consequences that would result from strict immigration enforcement – worker shortages, higher prices, inflation, etc.

Wow! This is one of those epic battles between Big Biz who line the pockets of our politicians, and The People who have voting power.

Like most conservatives, I generally side with biz interests but with this issue… may Democracy defeat the Kleptocracy!

As with anything, this is about money, and I want to know whose corporate funds are pulling the strings of these losers. If we are talking big bucks from Marriott, Tyson’s etc that is deiving this idiocy, go to ths source and let the American people know which companies are responsible, and just boycott the living hell out of all of them, down to the last contractor.

Did you remind then that a vote for cloture will be interpreted as a vote for passage?

Congress passed “Campaign Finance Reform” and Bush signed it because everyone opposed thought that the Supreme Court would throw it out and that they were making a “look good” vote. The same situation is developing here. Don’t trust either the Senate or the House to kill it and keep the pressure on anyone who’s vote is in doubt.

Only rational I can see for this whole debacle…

Big business, who contols the Congress through money, wants their cheap workers legalized NOW because they know the American people are fed up, and my very well elect a Law and Order President (pun intended) who will actualy enforce the existing laws… like the ones ALREADY on the books about fines for employers who hire illegals.

This is not just about Amnesty for illegals, its about amnesty for business owners who have broken the law for many years.

Just called Sen Nelson (D-FL) and said this goes beyond party lines. This is piling on more bad legislation on top of neglected legislation.

They told me that Nelson has NOT made his decision yet and he wants to hear from his constituants on this issue.

Suggestion: letters to the editor of every small, local newspaper in America, gang. They will print just about anything that comes from a local resident. Quote Splash Kennedy from the 1965 and 1986 amnesties, wherein we are informed that “this is the last time we’ll evah have to deal with the issue”.

My own experience with lib friends has been that they don’t view this much different than we do.
