P.S. Someone should mash up the Race Card/Flag thing with Graham, Chertoff, Etc.

If we allow the shamnesty bill to pass, then at the end of the day all of the brave souls that died on Iwo, Normandy etc. will have died for Mexico.

And my cousin will have had his ribcage blown off in Faluja for nothing too.

I agree, and I don’t disagree with Limerick completely. Clinton got credit for the welfare bill passing, even after vetoing it twice, because he is an excellent politician, and actively sought credit for it. This is not a compliment in my worldview.

I believe Bush will seek credit, until it is more obviously a national disaster. Then he will hang around in Midland and tell reporters to go f**k themselves through the barbed wire fence.

The GOP Senators that signed on will all soon be ex-Senators, and making the real money as lobbyist scum, as noted above.

Nonsense. The credit will go to Bush and the Democrats.

Of course Bush and the Dems will get the credit, in the media. GW might even go down in our culturally-sensitive history books as the American savior of Mexico, (once the “chimpHitler” designation fades away).

But what of the GOP base? Where will the resentment go? How long can the base be motivated by voting against Democrats, instead of for Republicans? My guess is that resentment will morph into apathy in ’08.

Nonsense. The credit will go to Bush and the Democrats.

Or is it really 30 million?

It’ll be 100 million if this slithers through.

Your representatives -doing the job no sane American would do.

If this bill passes the GOP is dead in the water for 08. Sure we will get new faces in the GOP in 08, but in the minority party once again. The country is wary of us enough as it is, they won’t forgive us for this bill passing.

Unless you draw a paycheck from the RNC, you appear to be displaying an identity problem.

I vote Republican because I’m a citizen of conservative convictions, and the GOP is the party most likely to represent those views. In recent years, however, they’ve become simply the lesser of two evils, and with the behavior on display in the Senate in regard to this amnesty fiasco, that distinction is growing dimmer by the moment. I am not the GOP, and I suspect, neither are you.

(Like your screen name, by the way.)

Long live the Queen! (just practicing)……..

Do you think the UK would take us back?

Can we become a colony of Australia? Kind of like the Coral Sea Islands, only bigger.

While we have a year and 5 months left, these guys deserve some serious challenges in the primaries, by people who take border security and illegal immigration seriously.

this is a Democrat bill,

It’ll be signed by a republican president. That is all that matters.

Remember, during the 90′s, house republicans forced clinton to sign a budget that balanced the budget. Clinton got the credit.

That’s how it works. This is a republican bill.

The country is wary of us enough as it is, they won’t forgive us for this bill passing.

Huh? Dude, you need to revisit the vote counts and look at the Senators with the (D) next to their name. Nearly all of the opposition is from the GOP; this is a Democrat bill, with disappointing support from the White House and a dozen Republicans.

Long live the Queen! (just practicing)……..

Paris Hilton release – newsworthy 50+ times since 6:00a
Jessie Davis murder – 30+ revisits
Lake Tahoe fire – 15 revisits
Cloture vote and – 0
those Senators still on the fence

Fox News Channel………..priceless!

I guess instead of “One Night In Paris”, today should be known as “One Day On Paris”.

…the number of apprehensions for illegally crossing the
Southern border is down 27 percent from this time last year

Does that actually mean crossings are down or does it mean that the Border Patrol has been instructed not to do, or is afraid to do, its job?

Is that all we got?

It looks as though the first cloture motion will pass. The question after that will be whether or not the Menendez ammendment passes. If it does, the second cloture will likely fail.
