How to intimidate Republican senators
Washington Times ^ | March 31, 2006 | Wes Pruden

Posted on 03/31/2006 6:11:06 AM PST by Ikemeister

Intimidation is the name of the game, and this week we've seen some world-class players at work. A few disc jockeys and an army of high-school kids out for a day of hooky made quick work of several Republican senators. March madness, indeed. If the Republican majorities in both the House and Senate buckle and enact still another amnesty for the millions of illegal aliens among us, as anyone consulting history should expect them to do, credit must go where credit belongs.......

I cannot believe people think Bush has betrayed them .. I just don't believe that for a moment.

So you'd rather have a lying, cheating, rapist in the WH, than a Godly man .. doesn't say much for your choices.

My thoughts EXACTLY. EVERY Rat I've seen on TV lately has a sh*t eating grin. They are just hoping Republicans will react the way some here have. They just love it.

Cursing Republicans just absolves "the swimmer" and his gang of nitwits from any guilt whatsoever, when they have been allowing this to happen since Johnson passed the law, in 1965 doing away with quotas. KENNEDY WAS ON THE COMMITTEE THAT WROTE THAT RIPOFF, TOO!!!! It is the bill that allowed the scum, here now, to drag all their extended families across the border after them.

Go to NumbersUSA.com, and let your Senators KNOW how you feel. The website even gives you talking points if you need them. You can fax, or get their phone numbers and CALL. Do it all. They can't vote the way you want if they don't know what you want. We have to outshout these non-citizens standing in our streets---with their Mexican flags!!!

Like I said, I'm happy with my Senators' stance, but I have called a bunch of times just to let them know I support them.

I'm sorry, but your argument defies any kind of logic! Getting rid of the President, during a war particularly, is not a good idea!!

The President is probably considering the fact that the election in Mexico is happening soon. Vincente Fox's party has a candidate, but the person running against him is an avowed ant-American, and, probably, a Communist, who has close ties to Chavez in Venezuela and Castro in Cuba. The USA gets 40% of their oil from Mexico and Venezuela. Now then, two guesses as to how much oil we're going to be getting from these clowns if we totally alienate Mexico, and, heaven forbid, they elect a Communist.

Americans are not taking the current hike in oil prices well. Can you imagine being squeezed by the Arabs and Latin America for our oil supply? Not a pretty picture!

Democracies REQUIRE COMPROMISE! As badly as I hate it sometimes, we have to compromise. I agree, there are some parts of this immigration thing I am unwilling to accept on any level, but I "guest worker" program could be a negotiating point (only with secured borders), but amnesty: NEVER, not in any form!!

Again, call, write, fax those Congresscritters!! Inundate them.

I gotta ask, how is that unsubstantiated?? It was a suggestion. It doesn't require "substantiation".

Senators are responding, initially, to what they see on the streets and the political situation in Mexico (described by me in an earlier post). They need to hear from their constituents. Call their office EVERY day, if necessary. If that fails, join the RNC and recruit someone who more nearly matches your views.

The ONLY thing I'll advise against is voting for a Democrat. You will be infinitely sorry. I knew people who voted for Clinton because of the Bush, Sr. tax increase. BOY, were THEY sorry!!

BUT, he did change it, didn't he? Something absolutely unprecedented in history. It's only happened one other time in our history.

Of course, on the other hand, you have FDR who tried to add additional judges to a total of twelve, so he could get more accomplished. Fortunately, Republican Senators didn't let that happen.

Also, I don't recall President Bush being particularly "nasty" to conservatives regarding the Miers' nomination? Ultimately, we got what we wanted.

The President has NOT said he favors McCain/Kennedy. McCain, himself, even admitted that---last night.

I have a lot of trouble with one issue patriots.

I appreciate your input, my argument makes more sense than rewarding lawbreakers with a guest worker program. (I am not serious (yet) it was just a response, removal of the President won't happen but censure might.)Sure its extreme but one man does not run a country unless he is a dictator or tyrant..whoops...and in case you didn't notice there is an attempt in the Southwest United States to take over our government by massive illegal immigration. Open borders during a time of war defy logic. Granting a path to legal residency and a path to citizenship to those who broke the law to get here and want to overthrow the government defies logic and is plain idiotic.

The President is probably considering the fact that the election in Mexico is happening soon. Vincente Fox's party has a candidate, but the person running against him is an avowed ant-American, and, probably, a Communist, who has close ties to Chavez in Venezuela and Castro in Cuba. The USA gets 40% of their oil from Mexico and Venezuela. Now then, two guesses as to how much oil we're going to be getting from these clowns if we totally alienate Mexico, and, heaven forbid, they elect a Communist.

Presidente Bush hasn't done a darn thing to stop illegal immigration for the last five years other than to encourage it by talk of amnesty and a guest worker program to reward the illegals. He could have done something 5 years ago, no excuses now. Where have you been? Do we sell out our citizens and principles for oil?

Americans are not taking the current hike in oil prices well. Can you imagine being squeezed by the Arabs and Latin America for our oil supply? Not a pretty picture!

LA being overrun by illegal Mexicans is not a pretty picture either. Mexican flags being flow over US flags indicates we already have a war within. We have oil that needs to be drilled but blocked by democrats. Go visit downtown LA barrios and get back to me with your new opinion.....the reconquista is rolling on and you are worried about oil? Let Fox sell his oil elsewhere,it will still end up in the USA it is a fungible commodity. The elite in Mexico have caused their problems and so far have gotten away with sending their problems to the USA it looks like they have exported their revolution here. Nice huh?

Sorry you don't get it.

Conservatives have waited a long time to see movement, any kind of movement, on issues that they hold dear. We hushed our fellow Americans when they railed against the erosion of our right to keep and bare arms. We hushed our fellow Americans when they railed against the continued slaughter of the unborn. We hushed our fellow Americans when they railed against the invasion of our privacy. We did this all in the name of party unity: because when WE were in control of the House, Senate, and White House, things would be DIFFERENT.

For the first time in over 40 years, we finally have the momentum to DO SOMETHING about illegals invading our country. With every month that passes, more and more come here, feeding off our system, impacting our schools, hospitals, job market, communities, and pockets. Several of the bastards who killed over 2,700 of my fellow citizens were here ILLEGALLY.

Instead of taking a bold move, which I would expect from a Godly man who VOWED to protect and defend our country, he's playing kissy-face with Vicente Fox. If we don't push through FORCEFUL legislation that actually stops this invasion of our shores, then YES, IT IS A BETRAYAL.

You think the Democrats can only offer us a POS like Clinton? I'll take Lieberman in a heartbeat, if he puts forward as part of his platform a strong plan to stop this bull. I'll take Steve Levy, a DEMOCRAT from Long Island, who is kicking butt and taking names and running illegals out. I'll take someone who gives me just a little of what I want politically, and suffer with the rest, because like so many of my fellow Americans, we've been doing it for a LONG TIME NOW ALREADY on certain key issues. If we don't stop this now, in 15 years our country won't look like the America I'm fighting to protect.

Spot on.

With Bush, immigration law enforcement is something that only happens in the future - and then only in concert with an amnesty that happens now. He has zero credibility on the issue.

He has to be defeated on this issue, not trusted.
