Something Stinks in the US Senate
American Patriot - Blog ^ | 6/3/07 | Emery J Woodall

Well, this has been an eventful three weeks to say the least. While engaged in a knock down battle with the defeat-o-crats on the fate of the Iraq war, we were blind-sided by a sucker punch delivered by the President and the US Senate on immigration reform. As we recovered from the devastating blow, we heard a standing eight count and mercifully we were saved by the bell as the first round of the now infamous 'immigration reform' fight came to a close. The Senate, astounded themselves by our negative reaction, were forced to abandon their plan to sneak this shamnesty plan by the American people with little or no real debate and postponed the vote until after the Memorial Day recess.

The conservative Republican base, now feeling politically more like one of Andrew Luster's date rape victims, struggled to regain their bearing and self-respect. Unflattering epithets like betrayal, treason, sellout and dereliction of duty, formerly reserved for his lowness Bill Clinton, now echoed throughout the rank and file of Bush's last bastion of political support. Our former Commander in Chief was quickly demoted to rank of his predecessor as Traitor in Chief. We now sounded like spiteful Democrats as we ruthlessly demagogued him. Why would Bush betray what little remained of his political support, we asked? Why would he turn on those who had stood by him through the thick and more recently thinner political fortunes? We were not surprised when the Chappaquiddick Kid emerged as one of the ring leaders of the new Democratic voter registration bill. But why would our Republican Senators sign on to this monstrosity? We expect this betrayal of principle by the Democrats. We were genuinely shocked by the quisling Republicans....

Immigration Gate will dwarf any previous scandal of corruption. Who shall we turn too? Who can we rely on in our government anymore? Can the House impeach the Senate and President? Is the House itself unimpeachable in this scandal? How many others in the House are corrupt and un-convicted like John Murtha? If big business interests can buy and control our elected officials then our representative form of government is a sham and what is left is just a pretense of a representative democracy.

Welcome to the party pal...

"The Great Compromise" will continue to stink for millennia.  The Constitution employs a major flaw known as compromisers (oops, I meant senators) that is dangerous as it truly sells out the notion of a 'representative republic.'

Why anyone would ever vote for one of these a-clowns for President is beyond me, both parties, past or present.

True conservatives are used to hard work and will regain...

Ah...no. He's out of favor with me, but this business of calling everyone "traitor" is childish.

Not only sign onto it but heap boatloads of praise upon Kennedy while doing so.

The president said he had no hesitations about working with Kennedy.... "The reason why is, he can get the job done," Bush said

He gets the job done all right, Mr. Prez. ....better than our communist enemies ever dreamed of.

And that pansy-ass RINO Lindsay Graham was even more complimentary.

...something stinks in the US Senate. It is the stench of elitist powerful rich corporations buying support from our elected officials and betraying the foundation of our Republic and our representative form of government. President Bush and the majority of both parties in the US Senate have been bought and paid for by Big Business. Any pretense at debate or discussion is a forgone conclusion.

You think all this calling, faxing, emailing is doing any good? Every response I have gotten is some pat answer that it is 'a needed and comprehensive bill'. They are going to pass this whether we, the little people, like it or not. Add to this the fact that President Bush has signed on to the The Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America,whose goal is to meld the North American Continent into a pseudo EU. Our country's sovereignty is in great jeopardy. I'm getting the feeling we no longer have a representative government.

Un agreed.

So you agreed, but then changed your mind?

The word is "disagree."

Watch out--someone will post YET AGAIN that "Lindsay Graham has a more conservative voting record than Fred Thompson, and you Thompson fans are all hypocrites!"

Well, I've saved them the trouble, so they can skip that laughable silliness.

As is true of most foul aromas found in the Senate Office Building this one can be traced to the Senior Senator from Chappaquiddick.

Keep the heat turned up anyway.

You will feel better--and they will feel worse.

stench is coming from fact that Byrd, Kennedy and Kerry are still there, and somebody forgot to embalm them.

The new talking points rap on Thompson (expressed on FOX News, especially) is that he "didn't in any way distinguish himself in the Senate" and "he wasn't a very hard worker." As far as I'm concerned Fred's quiet record is a good thing -- Senators who work hard to distinguish themselves are almost invariably up to no good.
