House Majority Leader John A. Boehner refused yesterday to rule out compromising with the Senate to expand the House border security bill to include a guest-worker program or provisions that opponents call "amnesty." "Let's wait and see what the Senate can produce," he told reporters yesterday when asked whether House Republicans would reject the Senate Judiciary Committee's proposal to allow the estimated 12 million illegal aliens now in the U.S. to seek citizenship after paying a fine.

"Wow. You must really think people around here (outside of your normal bunker crew) believe the fertilizier you incessantly spread."
So if I understand correctly Coop, a RINO like yourself would be happy with an amnesty program and thinks that the party in control of the government would be rewarded by the 80% or so of the population that disagrees with you?
Dream on...

How can I be a RINO if I'm not a Republican?
Oh, that's right. We're not letting little things like facts get in the way of our hysteria.

No Amnesty.
No hiding it as a Guest Worker Program.
They broke the Law getting here. Do NOT reward them. Make them go back where they came from and re-apply as legal immigrants. Not one more DIME in US tax payer money should go to any foreign national illegally occupying our soil.
NOTHING else will be acceptable.

Reagan did it with the house and senate held by dems. Clinton did it with the house and senate held by rep.
This is why we elect a president, he alone has the power to frame and change the course of discussion. The impetus to control illegals is evident not only in his base but the general public. If Bush came out and stated, in no uncertain terms, that he wanted to control the border first and enforce the current laws - He would be backed by the congress (not a 100 % but enough to pass a bill).
But instead he continues to push for an open border policy.
We are alone my friends - Bush is not our ally - he is the enemy - his actions are solely for special interests - not of you and I. He cares more about Iraq freedom than our freedoms.
It is past time to impeach and remove this president.

I'm opposed to his measure, jackass.
It's Coop, and Sinky, and Coerx-whatever the hell his incomprehensible screen name is-along with the rest of the Bush bots who are pushing this pile of manure.

How does opening the floodgates to every illegal alien and his fourth cousin twice removed consitute "reform?" I didn't say it was. But, it appears to me that either some form of guest worker program has to be in a final bill, or there will be no bill.
No bill means that the status quo will prevail.
Turning out the Republicans in 2006 guarantees that something even worse than guest workers might come along.

Yesterday I was advocating some type of guest worker (amnesty) program, saying we needed one because deportation simply was not feasible. Today, after seeing more of the ANSWER sponsored anti-American protests, I've changed my mind 180 degrees.
Kick the illegals out. NO AMNESTY.
Yes, this is a backlash. And I guarantee that I'm not the only one who has undergone this conversion.
NOTE TO REPUBLICANS: This is America, not Mexico. You represent the PEOPLE of this country, NOT the businesses.
NOTE TO DEMOCRATS: FOAD, you ANSWER-beholden socialist traitorous pieces of shit.

Opps, wrong thread. Oh, I don't know about that. There's plenty of mud on the faces of our so called leaders in Washington. If they only had half the courage of a General Lee we'd be in far better shape.

Hey Lightweight, I suggest you post to me when attempting to insult me. Although I do understand why you're intimidated. You have neither the vocabulary nor the logic to actually debate me - your pretty little picture above is about the extent of your brainpower.

Don't worry one bit. This is a fact. The RINOcrat party will cave and give into everything that allows illegals to become legal. Just think, you as a citizen breaks a law, such as not paying your IRS billing statement to the Imperial Federal Government of D.C. and at the point of a gun you are arrested, tried and sent to jail. Your property is confiscated and sold at auction and the money given to the Imperial Federal Government of D.C. to buy more votes from Illegals. Said Illegals, who have clearly BROKEN THE LAW by illegally coming into this country, are granted amnesty for breaking the law and given a free ride on your tax dollars to cover their room, board, medical bills, and other freebies such as schooling. You, on the other hand, are doing 3-to-5 in the federal pen for not paying the Imperial Federal Government in D.C. it's just dues out of your pay check.

Shapka isn't wrong. He's dead on the money. He's also espousing the same opinion the OWNER of this forum has expressed quite a few times over the past week.
So where does that leave you? Besides with slinging more insults against your betters?
