Do you think I am foolish enough to get involved with this debate? LOL

[Mo1]

All the rest are running away from him. He is not very good at being a demagogue.

That's because

1) You don't impeachment in a time of war .. especially with no evidence of wrong doing

2) Clinton's poll rating went way up when he was impeached and the Dems don' want that to happen with Bush

[Bahbah]

We are a nation of laws...sort of, when it suits us.

[defconw]

LOL Good points, but Russ does not appear to have much sense. My guess is this is all about him raising money for himself with the kook fringe of his party.

[defconw]

George Allen in the big chair! :)

[Mo1]

Sounds like the three are all for amnesty, because even if they acknowledge that people broke the law and are breaking the law by being here

Reality is .. no immigration bill will get through without some kind of workers program

Because if you start ripping families apart and deporting them .. the MSM will be all over it and the majority of Americans will side with the illegals

Remember .. many children born here are Americans .. though their mothers and fathers aren't

That won't play well in the American eye

However, if they play their cards right and put together a strong immigration bill .. they could cut down the illegal problem

Also IMO .. they need to cut the funding for freeloaders that come here just of the free medical care, housing and schooling

I'll bet you're right, Mo1. That was very interesting about the blogosphere. There is also software that helps translate documents.

[Peach]

I heard that too, Txsleuth. Brit also said this wasn't something that was a pressing issue for Americans; something like that.

I'd better get moving...talk with you all when I get back.

[Txsleuth]

Bye, have fun!!!

And don't even think of politics!!!

[defconw]

This thing may not pass.

[Txsleuth]

They are voting on the Budget Resolution, final passage right now..

I can tell you that Snowe, Collins, Ensign, Coleman have all voted NO so far....

Conrad TOLD the dems to vote NO!

[Txsleuth]

One amendment that got voted down...that made me mad..because quite a few of the Rinos voted against it..including Lugar, Hagel...

Voted AGAINST cutting some funding from the new UN Council on Human Rights...that Bolton is so upset about...

BTW..I just heard that Snowe voted AYE, not NO.

[defconw]

Ensign and Collins just switched votes, and DeWine voted no, until he switches.

[defconw]

Lugar is not a Rino, he's just more of a Bush 41 Pubbie.

[Txsleuth]

There have been SEVERAL amendments that haven't passed by a count of 50-50...in fact, the one I just mentioned about cutting funding to the UN...was a 50-50 vote...and I was screaming for Cheney!!

[defconw]

Damn, it just passed. I can't decide if it's a good thing or not!

[Cboldt]

Budget resolution S.Con.Res.83 passsed 51-49.

[Txsleuth]

The only time I get mad at Lugar...is when he hangs around Biden too much and votes the way he does...ick.

Passed...51-49

[Mo1]

passed 51 - 49

[defconw]

Well Lugar is a Foreign policy wonk, so he's been known to hang out with unsavory characters.
