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.

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?

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.

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.

Jim DeMint, a solid conservative and one of Romney’s biggest supporters. Can’t get much better.

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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$$!

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 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.

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.

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.

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…
