Here who is voted for the strict Border Enforcement bill in the US Senate. Notice which party the vast majority belong too? Squealing at your own side may make "Conservatives" feel good, it does NOT get the Conservative ball moved down the field.

"Instead of mindlessly attacking the GOP maybe the DNC "Virtual Campaigners" pretending to be "Betrayed Conservatives should point out who voted for and against the bill."
The bill was against the Presidents position. The Democrats voted in support of the President position. I assume you join in with the Democrats and the President against border security?
Note the non-votes too.
This is the group I find most interesting:

Stabenow herself immigrated from Canada.
All well and good except for the fact that we actually CONTROL THE DAMN SENATE which means that the measure should have passed and NONE of the Republicans should have voted against it.
Dang that Shelby. He just lost my vote.
McLame...a no-show. I am fed up with butt-munching RINO's. I know what to expect from a democrat.
Rush was trying his best to keep the conservatives from abandoning ship today. One of those Speaker Palosi fright fests.
Either you stand for something or you will fall for anything. It must be principled, or I will sit the next one out.
