the House bill will be in the news and hurt Republicans over the "felon" provision in that bill

I was SHOCKED that no one TRULY called Reid on his RIDICULOUS stand against the felon and misdemeaner part of the Kyle/Cronyn amendment.

Reid claimed that to eliminate illegals from the chance of amnesty if they were convicted of a felony or 3 or more misdemeamers would "gut the bill" and eliminate 95% of the illegals.

MY HEAD EXPLODED!

Kyle repsonded by naming off the offenses that would eliminate the illegals. Then challenged the 95% figure.

I thought that was LAME response.

I would have read off the list, yes.. but then I would have turned to Reid and said- First of all- if your number of 95% were correct- then stop trying to sell the American people the idea that these are LAW abiding people whose ONLY crime was wondering over an imaginary line because they just want to feed their families.

WHICH ONE IS IT REID?

Are they Law abiding people or LAW BREAKERS? Your numbers don't make your case- they make the case of the American people SCREAMING for SECURITY FOR OUR NATION!

Then I would have said:

Oh- and if being convicted of a felony, or 3 or more misdemeaners is too harsh for you- tell us the number of laws they SHOULD be allowed to break?

C'MON! GIve us a number? 5? 10? 15? 20?

C'MON! Pick a NUMBER! ANY NUMBER! Just tell the American People how many Laws you think ILLEGALS should be allowed to break, while American citizens are supposed to FOLLOW ALL THE LAWS!

Your BRILLIANCE in making MY CASE FOR ME IS ASTOUNDING! THANK YOU!

It's really pretty simple. Reid lied. Pandering to both sides of any given issue is what Democrat do best.

Republicans biggest fault is not realizing we are in a war with Democrats and we continue to "play nice" with them. We keep letting the wounded get up over and over to attack us again.

Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton DEFINE the word incompetence, and here we're letting them charge us with it.

I saw that exchange between Kyl and Reid...and I thought the same things you do---that Kyl missed a great opportunity to slap Reid and his bill right out of the Senate building...but didn't do it.

BTW--WAY TO GO GIRL, YOU ARE ON FIRE TODAY!!!

I second the motion EC, you are on fire!
