We’ve all been thinking about this a lot in the past few days-I’m no “truther”, but here’s my thinking:
Someone pulling the strings, who seems to have enough political muscle/dirt/power to force the leaders of both parties to commit political hari kari with their futures, wants this bill done, no matter what the people want.
He’s looking for a legacy, which I think may be because he is not long for this world- he’s twisting all the arms, expending all of his political coin like there’s no tomorrow because he may be running out of tomorrows.
Ted Kennedy.

[...] Cloture 2 is at 10:30 tomorrow morning. Count with me. We started with 64; then Webb’s amendment lost, which probably means he’s voting no tomorrow; then a surprise no from Pete Domenici; and now: Late Wednesday, two Republicans, Sens. Kit Bond of Missouri and Richard Burr of North Carolina, told FOX News that they will switch their vote and not try to prevent the filibuster. One Democrat who never votes against cloture, Sen. Ben Nelson of Nebraska, also told FOX News that he will vote “no” this time. [...]

See if this sounds right. Kennedy-Reid-Bush need to get this amnesty done so the illegals can pay into social security because we all know that we are almost down to 2 workers per recipient. This will sure it up temporarlity until the authors are dead. This has to be it.

Right. And after listening to that effing douche Whinybitch from Ohio, it’s horrifying to know the depth of the stupidity and ignorance in the GOP Senate. He doesn’t even know what this bill says; not even close. But he’s happy enough with it to get in a fight on national radio over it.

Still, I think we now know of at least 5 Senators who have flipped to nay. I just don’t know how many are committed to a nay on cloture tomorrow. And thank you, AP, I’ll have a great sleep tonight knowing that half-retarded, sniveling douche Voinovich controls my children’s future.

Hey, jdawg. I read the “sob story” on Foxnews. We should all be fighting mad that they’re gonna send these Americans out of country because of some 20 year old paperwork, but they’re ramming through legislation that would allow 20 million fence jumpers to stay.

Smells like Bullocracy at it finest.

He will start the process of getting rid of these traitorous GOP senators. csdeven on June 27, 2007 at 6:25 PM

Even if the sham-nesty legislation does not pass, we still need to be pro-active and plan ahead for action against the following anti-Constitution GOP senators in this order: 1.) Lindsey Graham of South Carolina Start herethen check out this next anti-Graham-Amnesty site for more info. 2.) Hagel of Nebraska Start giving money and support to the primary challenger Jon Bruning. 3.) Kyl of Arizona

I would not hold my breath until the voting is done and the fat lady is singing.

Hopefully, Nelson will vote no.

Nelson’s Lincoln office just said sorry for the mix up but it is confirmed. No on cloture, no on the bill. Somebody check him off the list! Yaaaaa!

Yeah, I know, don’t get too excited. We aren’t there yet.

I’m in the south. You guys have a fellow up there named Robert Vasquez. He ran against Sali in 06 and recently was going after Craig’s seat for 08. He was very anti-illegal and got very little support from the GOP. Well, on 26April07 he dropped out of the race for Craig’s seat. I am trying to find him because he may have been a bit premature and this might be a good time for him to go again. He was a Canyon County commissioner and was from Caldwell. I can’t find an email or phone number.

Do you know anything about him?

A guy from http://www.paybackproject.com told me that the minute this POS passes the senate, he will start the process of getting rid of these traitorous GOP senators.

Fox news said there were 3 additional no votes from the first vote making it 37 no’s, and there are 7 additional leaning no. For what it’s worth.
