That’s exactly what I told the Senators’ offices I called today. A vote for cloture is de facto a vote for amnesty.
Fred, Hunter, Tanc, and even Mitt sound like good/acceptable options right now…
Exit Question: The “money” clause, that rule that all revenue generating bills must start in the House — can we use that against this bill? Could the SCOTUS overturn it?
HYTEAndy on June 25, 2007 at 8:51 PM
I don’t understand why some of these senators are going to vote for this, when it’s obvious the public doesn’t want it. Anyone from these guys states have an answer?
BadgerHawk on June 25, 2007 at 8:53 PM
Its a shame when you realize that Shirley Temple has more balls than most of the Senate Republicans.

And that is my senator standing behind him………what did he say? Inquiring minds want to know.
Limerick on June 25, 2007 at 8:57 PM
Way to put it out there – straight up.
Nice.
nailinmyeye on June 25, 2007 at 8:57 PM
The only reasons I can even fathom that explains the senate passing this bill against the over whelming opposition from the American people requires the type of conspiracy thinking that I make fun of the truthers for.
These guys act like there is some secret reason why this POS bill has to pass right now.
I wish these friggen jackoffs would keep our military actions against the enemies of this country as tightly wrapped.
csdeven on June 25, 2007 at 9:04 PM
it is a ‘deal’…..the only answer. It doesn’t matter what deal, just that it is. Pass this, you get that. Probably a poison-pill deal for either party if word leaks out. No I don’t believe in black helicopters.
Limerick on June 25, 2007 at 9:11 PM
Can we just clone DeMint and use him in place of Lindsay Grahamnesty?

Or, better yet, the entire Senate.

Maybe something to do with the North American Union and that NAFTA Superhighway? But that still doesn’t explain to me why so many men are willing to abandon all reason (as well as their oaths to uphold the Constitution and protect, preserve, and defend the USA) and declare 12 million people here illegally to be -presto!- legal.
A_Nonny_Mouse on June 25, 2007 at 9:17 PM
I keep expecting Rod Serling to step onto the Senate floor and explain it to us.
infidel4life on June 25, 2007 at 9:18 PM
That’s called a pre-emptive strike! Way to, Mr. DeMint! I’m so proud you are from my native South Carolina! John C. Calhoun must be smiling!
SouthernGent on June 25, 2007 at 9:19 PM
Finally some TV coverage of what we’ve been pounding our Senators with. Unfort. for me I’m in AZ so it’s falling on deaf ears. That won’t stop me from calling Tuesday.
Keep at them!
Isn’t amazing what the media can keep quiet when it wants to? The media can’t “sell” me that this Shamnesty bill isn’t news worthy.
VikingGoneWild on June 25, 2007 at 9:19 PM
That’s real straight talk!
Thank you, Senator DeMint!
INC on June 25, 2007 at 9:21 PM
Agreed! He kind of came out of nowhere and is making waves…good for him, good for SC, good for the USA.

Do you no why our founding fathers put the 2nd Amendment 2nd because they now one day we the people of this Great Land, the United States of America might need to use it to take back our country from the scum now in charge.
American8298 on June 25, 2007 at 9:48 PM
Rod Serling appears as a translucent shade behind the Senators.
SERLING:
Case of the missing testicular fortitutde. America at the beginning the 21st century. Its national body being infiltrated, with he consent of this curiously supine Congress. A mystery? A paradox? Think again. For the reason is green, and I don’t mean the verdant fishrank scum that the representatives’s souls mimick, but something simpler. And more obvious. The greenback. The Almighty Buckaroo. Which leads us to tonight’s story: “The Alien Among Us”. Or how the guardians of liberty sold their souls, and the country, for a cheap green simulacrum.
Is power emerald-colored, too? Let’s find out…
CUE: eerie theremin music wobbling like a Conrgessman after happy-hour.
FADE IN- on an illegal maid nursing a Senator’s child as the Foghorn Leghorn representative blusters in the phone, trying to intimidate a constituent long-distance:
SENATOR
(browbeatingly)
Mah dear, you have to trust me!
The laughtrack can’t help itself, and ROARS with derision.
FADE AMERICA OUT…

I had a typo its new not now
American8298 on June 25, 2007 at 9:55 PM
What a phony-a$$ outfit!! When someone stating the obvious is like a thunderclap, like an Emperor has new clothes moment, you’re dealing with cynical, insincere phonies.
smellthecoffee on June 25, 2007 at 9:57 PM
Emperor has no clothes, that is.
smellthecoffee on June 25, 2007 at 9:59 PM
Does anyone know what the last vote tally was on this imm. bill. I thought 15 senators had to jump aboard this trainwreck for it to pass or was it less?? If you seen Senator Sessions today on C-span on the senate floor I would say this isn’t going to pass.He was great.
Legions on June 25, 2007 at 10:19 PM
That’s good, I do too or at least wish he would.
Sooner more likely than later during every discussion of why these meatheads are acting the way they are somebody gets called a conspiracy monger or a loon and exploring the reasons why can be complex enough to send you to the loonatorium from babbling about conspiracies.
Actually, I think, if we lined them all up, however many of them there are, that’s how many reasons there would be with money and power being the connecting thread.
American Beneficiate would be far down the list.

American8298 on June 25, 2007 at 10:58 PM
Ugh…as I am from NC, I’ve got a BURR in my saddle!
Richard, you are TOAST if you vote yes on cloture. I am on the warpath! Anyone that challenges you, will get my support and vote.
JACKA$$!
tickleddragon on June 25, 2007 at 11:31 PM
Everyone in Virginia please call Senator Warner’s office EARLY tomorrow.
Its not like our country is at stak…
….oh yeah, it really is.
A voice of reason on June 25, 2007 at 11:39 PM
Something when the truth needs to be told for these people to get it.
PowWow on June 26, 2007 at 12:10 AM
I am SO sick of these people that call themselves our senators and representatives. I am also sick of the apathy in our country. Those of us that are actually taking on this fight by calling the Senate and writing these pukes so that they know they can’t walk on us could be so much stronger if the rest of the country weren’t asleep.
Just whining out of frustration but not giving up.
Terri on June 26, 2007 at 12:15 AM
So when senators like Hatch and Bond etc… go on the sunday morning shows and play the “we voted yes on cloture, but no on the final bill” game, do you think Russert or Stephanopoulos will show this clip? Me neither.
forged rite on June 26, 2007 at 12:27 AM
forged rite,
Maybe not, but their opponents in the next election will.
INC on June 26, 2007 at 12:35 AM
It looks like this shamnesty bill is going to pass the senate. My only hope now is that Tancredo, Hunter, and other like minded reps are going to destroy it.
dawgyear on June 26, 2007 at 12:37 AM
The Republicans in the Senate are probably hoping the House will bail them out. We here in CA are stuck with Boxer and Feinstein no matter what.
Rose on June 26, 2007 at 1:26 AM
I am worried about the House throwing reason to the wind.
ColtsFan on June 26, 2007 at 3:27 AM
I saw our Democratic Senator from Minnesota on the news last weekend here. They asked here about Immigration Reform and she responded that she hopes everyone just takes a deep breath and settles down and blah blah blah… In other words, being a freshman Senator she is being told how to vote by Uncle Teddy and “Herself”… I think this is going to go down in the Senate but it’s going to be close! Keep writing these idiots! There are a few good men left in the Senate like DeMint!
sabbott on June 26, 2007 at 5:53 AM
If the Senators that want large scale immigration and naturalization from Mexico want it in a misguided effort to save social security, I wish they would just say so. Cards on the table, please!
tomg51 on June 26, 2007 at 7:32 AM
You owe me for the hot coffee that just shot out of my nose! ;-)
Insomniac on June 26, 2007 at 7:38 AM
Jim DeMint, a solid conservative and one of Romney’s biggest supporters. Can’t get much better.
JamesP on June 26, 2007 at 7:40 AM
My Senator, Pat Robertson is a staunch opponent of this legislation. He voted no on cloture the last time. He voted yes to proceed to the floor, prior. Senator Brownback is a good man, however he is guided by an open arms approach to the nations immigration policies. We have Chris Kobach, who just barely lost in the congressional race against Dennis Moore-D in 2006,and is actively involved in defeating this legislation in other political action venues.
captivated_dem on June 26, 2007 at 8:52 AM
Why don’t we make a deal with Mexico…..We send all our politicians there, and they can cross the border at will as long as they are willing to take the consequences of dealing with the locals.hehe.
stringbean on June 26, 2007 at 9:21 AM
I aims to please!
Why are the Repulicans pandering for votes (hispanic) so hard for this issue?
Are they trying to turn the hispanic vote into the MAJORITY not minorty vote so they can “write-off” the angry, white, racist vote?
omnipotent on June 26, 2007 at 12:49 PM
The dems are vote farming as usual, and the GOP caved in to the greedy business interests. Why should they care about us taxpayers? Just wait until the silent majority has the “Geraldo Rivera” mentality. It is comming.
