Uh, Dane... Please try and keep up. The bill from the IRC went through the house without a snag. The Senate is the problem ATM. Likely due to the same resistance that Rep Tancredo was getting at the party level.
"People like tancredo, IMO, are more interested in bringing in the PAC bucks, tancredo runs with his co-chair, bay buchanan, than actually trying to solve the problem."
Tancredo's been being stonewalled at the party level for several years on this issue. The purpose of the PAC is to raise awareness of the issue and break through the negative momentum up on the hill. Somebody had to take the bull by the horns because both the DNC and RNC are both scared to push a solution.
People like Mehlman, IMO are more worried about keeping their little money tree growing than about whether or not we still have a sovereign country left in 30 years. You want to find the self-interested a$$hat position on this issue, look no further than your good buddies McFlame and Hitlery.
