What a biased piece of crap report.
Kyl as well as Cornyn, Jeff Sessions of Alabama and others criticized the bill as an amnesty measure for lawbreakers.

As heard on the Mark Levin show. Felons, no shows etc were included in this amnesty.
Hats off to those gents and all those in the Senate who stood tall for America FiRst and not illegals. (a rarely earned much less offered gesture and for good cause)
Sorry, but nobody was more forceful or informed than SENATOR SESSIONS!
SESSIONS FOR POTUS - '08!
Just another AP hit piece.
Thank God!
Why can't there be a separate "Close the southern border" bill passed until they decide to finally pass HR4437 (hey I can hope can't I?)
Meanwhile millions more illegals are probably sneaking in and with the millions we already have that are a major problem we certainly don't need anymore to enter.This is a crisis of epic proportion. Do something to secure the border!
I just like seeing Sessions take a prominent role and be named. Feels good seeing his name here. :-)
Um, I'd like to comment on the article. I'm not really sure how though. It's twilight themed. Beginning with the suggestion NOT passing an amnesty bill hurts Republicans. Sure....
Then we have this absurd notion Republicans showed solidarity so Kyl would receive respect, having his amendments voted on at least. LOL Since when has Linds EVER given a damn about Kyl and the conservatives? They can't even tell the truth about this!
Reality Zone- Republicans had enough votes to filibuster this bill and WERE going to filibuster it. Rather than being embarrasses, which they were anyway...they came up with this novelty of, "It's the amendments Stupid!". Again, sure....
No one is buying that anymore than they bought this wasn't amnesty.
It's too bad Sessions, Kyl, Coburn and so on aren't the faces of the Senate GOP. They'd easily get 60 seats this year if they were.
Oh, and hope National Review and the other conservative sell outs are thrilled. They were so damn sure selling out Delay was needed to "fix" the House. I'm counting ANWR out and budget out. Yeah, they did so swell in knifing him in the back.
The AP is increasingly a house organ for the Dems...
At least there's no bias in the article.

I would vote for Sessions - I really think the GOP needs a candidate who is NOT a Senator though.
