I’d like to thank all the liberal demo-rats out there that voted for these morons in the last election, which now gives them a majority vote. I hope you can see where your tax dollars are going (or NOT going).
If their approval ratings get any lower, they’ll be in the negative.

Not only Graham, but Kyl was doing the same thing.

Each is trying to make one more push before disappearing into political oblivian.

[...] During the last few years one of the main political footballs has been national security. Due to many Democrats’ strong anti-war rhetoric, the Republicans accused many Democrat candidates of being soft on security. And, the Democrats kept shooting back that they weren’t. Well, here’s what’s happening now that the Democrats are in charge of national security. Lindsay Graham inserted funding in the defense bill to the tune of about $3 billion for border security. It was approved by the Senate 95-1. [...]

Ironic that Graham is whining about democrat tactics. HE’S the one begging us to believe him and them on this issue, and HE actually accused of being bigots. You reap what you sow, Lindsey. So sorry for ya!

It’s time for us to light up the switchboard again!

“I’m incredibly disappointed,” Graham said in an interview. “Congress would serve itself well if we funded border security as my amendment proposes, and it would help us move the immigration debate further down the road.”

I commend Graham for his decision to reverse course, and focus on security. When Graham says, "move the imigration debate further down the road," is he really hinting at a future amnesty for illegal aliens? I fear the answer is yes. And that would not surprise me, since the USA has a policy of rewarding people who break our laws with the gift of USA citizenship. Amnesty has been rewarded to illegal aliens 7 times since 1986.

I’m curious how much Murhta sucked out of the coffers for this one.They are despicable, every last one of them.

bbz123 on November 8, 2007 at 10:32 AM

On my blog I have Murtha on video crowing about all themoney he “saved” for the American people on defense via the new defense bill. Then he goes into why his district benefits from a DEFENSE bill that includes sewage, Tourism and Diabetes funding.

On a serious note, the Senate passed that amendment 95-1. So who yanked it?

Call to action?

Too bad Gramnesty is running point on this one.

Well, you know, Gramnesty taking the lead on this makes the Democrats look much worse. And if we are really lucky this fight may give Gramnesty a road to Damacus experience. (The person on the road is meant to be Paul and not Pelosi.)
