How can this be? Wasn't he indicted, just last Friday?

[sheana]

Sorry, Barbara Boxer and Diane Feinstein. (;
I call and call and call and it does no good.
I have got where I call Bill Frist's office almost everyday too.
I think they are all a lost cause.

[Maceman]

I try, but Ted Kennedy and John Kerry aren't returning my calls.

"If you just try to build a wall 30 feet high and 2,000 miles long, it will be insufficient. People will go up over it, around it, in order to get a job in this country," Frist said on CBS' "The Early Show."

Throw up your hands and surrender, Frist. Anything but carry out your previous tough talk on this matter.

[NormsRevenge]

"We want to keep those who could harm us, the criminal element, out," said Sen. Edward M. Kennedy (news, bio, voting record), D-Mass., one of the authors of the bill. "Those who could benefit us ought to remain." .. so they can vote for democRats.

[gipper81]

No sale, Rove.

Rove and Bush don't want to stop illegal immigration. They did nothing when Bush was governor of Texas. They did nothing for 6 years when Bush was president. They allowed the border to remain a cake walk for so many years. They refuse to prosecute employers who cheat the tax code and employ the workers here illegally. Last time I checked tax evasion was a serious crime . . . try to not pay your taxes and see what happens to you.

Anyone who comes here illegaly is going to be looking for some kind of employment, no ifs, ands or buts. If employers face a huge fine, the problem solves itself. But since noone in Washington is interested in solvig the problem, we get all kinds of crazy proposals that in the end will result in amnesty for 12 million + people.

[EEDUDE]

To ALL

We have lost the Senate.

Write or call your Representative in the House!

They must hold, or life as we know it in the US will change forever.

Quit bitching and start calling or writing.

We MAY be able to stop this.

[kellynla]

Hey Karl! Take this picture back to your boss!

[tennmountainman]

Bush send his "head Gringo advisor:" to twist house arms.
Stand your ground U.S. HOUSE!

[Puppage]

I try, but Ted Kennedy and John Kerry aren't returning my calls.

Have you tried calling the bar?

[Wolfie]

Man, I hope they use lots of lube this time.

President Bush dispatched his political adviser, Karl Rove, to Capitol Hill to pitch skeptical Republicans in the House the idea of letting many illegal immigrants stay and to reassure them about better securign the U.S.-Mexico border.

With the way the House GOPers are against open borders and amnesty, Rove will be lucky to get off Captial Hill with all his limbs intact. Or mayb he is going there to threaten congressmen with not giving them acces to the President, like Rove did to Tancredo a few years ago over illegal immigration.

"If you just try to build a wall 30 feet high and 2,000 miles long, it will be insufficient. People will go up over it, around it, in order to get a job in this country," Frist said on CBS' "The Early Show."

So you will be immediately calling for the fence around the White House and your own gated community to be removed?

[Kenny Bunk]

Karl Rove. That'll certainly reassure everyone. If you don't already have a crisis, send in Rove and make it one.

[pissant]

No, too late. Call your House members!!

[ncountylee]

include exceptions for hardship cases and those who didn't know a deportation order had been issued for them

Rove's rope-a-dope ploy.

"How can this be? Wasn't he indicted, just last Friday?"

By the DUmmies, yes. They have their own backwards universe. ;->
