That "new tone" they hear is the voice of the American people.
And they DON'T like it!

June 28, 2007 - (Washington, D.C.) – U.S. Sen. David Vitter today issued the following statement regarding the defeat of the immigration bill.
“This is an incredible victory for the American people. The Kennedy immigration bill was flawed and granted amnesty to millions of illegals.
“For a while, a small group of us were the only senators advocating the position of the majority of Americans. I am thankful that the continued calls and persistent engagement of the American people on this issue paid off.
“The next step is to immediately push the president to take up his word and enforce security at the border. I am ready to support the work that is needed to accomplish this goal,” said Vitter.
And why GW’s at securing the border maybe he could PARDON RAMOS and COMPEAN !!!
Thanks to us the Kennedy Administration was defeated!
Thanks to everyone who helped kill this bill: senators, pundits, and voters.
Today I sent an email of thanks to my Senator from Vermont, Bernie Sanders, for voting against cloture. I never thought I’d ever thank Bernie for anything!
And the Kennedy republicans are history...
Vitter is one of the small band of heroes to come out of this battle.
“The next step is to immediately push the president to take up his word and enforce security at the border. I am ready to support the work that is needed to accomplish this goal,” said Vitter.
Thank you Senator!!!
ABSOLUTELY!
PS: HOOOAHHH!
Thanks to ALL the Senators who voted against this ABORTION. NOW PARDON RAMOS AND COMPEAN !!!
LOL. Senator Vitter endorsed Rudy for President.
Hear him interviewed on the Laura Ingraham show this morning and I agree with your take.
Agreed, but don't forget to include Sheriff’s Deputy Gilmer Hernandez.
Everyone is entitled to a mistake. He will change when Rudy drops out and is stepped on like a cockroach.
Build the fence, go after the employers of illegals, and start deportation in ernest.
So? What does that have to do with his work on this bill on behalf of the voters?
My prayers tonight are for Ramos and Compean. Like all the martyrs of the Roman Catholic Church, they suffer to serve as examples. Certainly, it is not easy. Jesus Christ Almighty did not have to save us all, either. Just a thought...
“The next step is to immediately push the president to take up his word and enforce security at the border. I am ready to support the work that is needed to accomplish this goal,”

Forget it. Bush will never do it. He has a sickness about this issues and the Mexicans...it is not healthy, nor is it in any way, good for America and its people, let alone desired by the majority of Americans. It is hard to believe this man’s position on this, and that at the same time, he is the President of this country. Beyond shocking.
Dubya’s willingness to leave Ramos and Compean in prison speaks volumes.
Without a doubt,free Ramos,Compean and Hernandez. These men were defending us just like our troops in Iraq are defending us and I WON’T LET THEM ROT IN PRISON QUIETLY BECAUSE GEORGE friggin BUSH doesn’t stand by them !!!
NEVER FORGET! Vote them OUT at the next opportunity! Every last one of them! What they did CANNOT be forgiven!
I appreciate and JOIN you in your prayers for these men !!!
Right now Rudy might be Vitters choice, but I really think the Rudy is much to liberal for conservatives. As an example, Rudy praised R.Bader Ginsberg-—thought she was a good Supreme Court Justice. I don’t know about you, but to me R.Bader Ginsberg is a leftist; and as a former head of the ACLU, is really out of step with the American people.
I didn’t mention his stance on Abortion. I’ll save that for another day. I think once Fred T gets in and shows he’s capable of the job, I really think Vitters will switch.
I see you are new here. Yes, we are quite aware of liberal Giuliani, and his cross-dressing, pro-abortion, pro-homosexual and anti-gun positions. He has as much chance as Harry Reid of winning the GOP nomination.
That "new tone" they hear is the voice of the American people.
And they DON'T like it!
We must not stop. We must close the borders and arrest the employers. These poor exploited Aliens will go home with the exception on the 24% of our prison population that ARE ILLEGAL ALIENS. They stay for their punishment and THEN WE dump them where they came from.
Get the EMPLOYERS EMPLOYERS EMPLOYERS!! and it will get these Aliens out of here!!!
Yes, well said, the “Kennedy Republicans”! (Now I need to go wash my mouth out)
I heard him, too. I guess it’s time for the likes of McCain and Lott to step aside, as they can’t “reign them in”.
Yeah, she called him one of the Young Turks. I know that she was specifically referring to 4 young GOP Senators. Vitter, Sessions and DeMint. Do you know who the 4th was?? I want to write a note of thanks to them all.
Doesn’t sound like they got any help from Mitch McConnell either. I was surprised at how frank the discussion was on Laura’s show. Though I guess I shouldn’t be, especially after she spiked Tony Snow. Thank God someone is watching out for us!!
Vitter was truly a nice surprise. He was awesome, yesterday, interrupting Harry Reid to pose questions and raise objections. And, Vitter firmly stood his ground. When Reid offerred to give Vitter 30 minutes to speak, Vitter says...’the time is not the issue...even if I only have 5 minutes, I want to use the time to speak about what I want to speak about not what Speaker Reid wants me to speak about...’
I tried to call Vitter’s office today to say thanks....but, lines were still busy.
Thank you Senator Vitter. Now it’s time to CLEAN HOUSE AND SENATE of all phony Republicans/RINOs and their fellow travelers. OUT WITH THEM!!
Thank You Senator Vitter!
Shame on you Democrat Senator Clinton, Democrat Senator Obama, Democrat Senator Kennedy Democrat Senator Reid,and the vast Majority of Democrat Senators for voting for Amnesty for illegals and for opposing the will of 85% of the American people. Shame on you liberal,socialist, Stalinist, communist villains for voting to end debate,to pass this horrible bill. This bill would give Amnesty to 20 million illegals and allow them to bring their family members to the U.S.A.. That would turn the U.S. into a 3rd world socialist hell hole. Shame on you liberal villains for trying to destroy the United states and freedom.
The fact that the vast majority of Democrat Senators voted for Amnesty and to end debate shows that the Democrat party is a threat to America, freedom,our prosperity, and our way of life. That Democrats are overwhelmingly for the fairness doctrine , socialist government healthcare, more taxes, more government global warming regulations , etc. , further proves that the Democrat party is a threat to our way of life,to liberty, to every American and to the United states.
Thank the vast majority of Republican Senators that voted against cloture and this Amnesty.
Shame on Bush for opposing the will of 85% of the American people.
And shame on the liberal Democrat Trojan horses like Graham, Lott, McCain, Specter,Hagel, who call themselves Republicans.
Thank you Senator. It’s so refreshing for there to be someone who brings up-liftment to the title rather than demean it.
This fight has really been an eye-opener.
But aren’t they all of Mexican descent?
I guess he only likes the illegal kind!
Yes, its high time for drastic measures; like enforcing the current laws of the USA.
Teddy finally got to be President after all. :o)
And they’ll keep making as much noise as THEY can to drown out the voice of WE THE PEOPLE.
>:-(
exactly!!!
Bush acts like a King rather than President.
Above the laws, refusing to enforce ones he doesn’t like.
He has exposed a glaring weakness in our form of government.
And you can bet every power loving politician who wants to be President is paying close attention to how he gets away with it.
Your 27 post says it best.
We have some new heroes today, and we’re learning their names:
Senator Vitter! Glad to know you.
“I agree that Bush is single-sighted about this. He won’t do what WE THE PEOPLE have demanded. He believes that he is superior to WE THE PEOPLE.
This fight has really been an eye-opener.”
Where have you been? This president is a one world boob who has delusions of a North American Union with Mexico and Canada. What better way accomplish this is to flood our country with one hundred million third worlders who will buy the politicians lies.
What we are going to see next is a full campaign by “separating” families in front of the cameras to elicit sympathy from the sheeple. They have to work on public sentiment. Think we’ll see media stories, according to their fairness doctrine, about illegal alien cop killers or vicious illegal alien gang members? NOT!
On April 18, 2006 President Bush flew into Yuma, Az. for a multi-million dollar photo-op to announce he was going to put National Guard Troops on the Border. My information indicates that the heaviest presence was in the Yuma Sector.
In the beginning, the presence of the Guard was successful because of fear of the military by residents of third world countrys. The flow of illegals slowed, and was diverted to more remote areas where there was less Guard Presence. The flow into the Yuma Sector was greatly reduced.
On April 9, 2007 President Bush kicked off his campaign to pass his "comprehensive immigration reform bill," with yet another multi-million dollar fly in to Yuma Az. announcing how successful his attempts to control the border had been.
June 16, 2007, I spoke with Chris Simcox of the MMCDC, he informed me that the Guard had been withdrawn from the border in central Az. where his people were deployed. At that time there were still a few Guard posts in heavy traffic areas in Southwest Az. usually one post every two to four miles, in some areas less.
Late in the afternoon, June 22, 2007, four days before the "immigration reform bill," was brought back from the dead, the border area along the Colorado River was saturated with National Guard, three to four, National Guard Posts per mile. Word was, that would continue for twelve days. Why 12 days? why now?
My personal observations from ground zero indicate that President Bush has no intrest in doing any more than create the illusion, that he wants to secure the border.
