Allen voted no...
i say thee NAY!
And, thanks to Senator Specter, from my state of Pa., any state building a fence needs to "consult" with Mexico before doing so!
On that note, according to today's AP article, Senator Graham today is basically challenging us to vote him out of office - "Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C. argued for finishing the bill before the November elections.
'This is one problem that is not going to wait until the next election," Graham said. "If you win or lose because you make a hard decision, so be it.'"
I, for one, have my checkbook all ready for any conservative primary challenger who wants to help make his wish come true.
I wish I had an alternative to Lugar. He was the only Republican running in Indy. I did not vote for him anyway, but it makes me so angry that he is so sure of his seat that he does these totally stupid things! I don't know who, if anyone is running against him. I'd be very tempted to vote for them, even if they were a dem, if they were conservative, they'd have my vote and money.
I just wrote all of the RINO's that voted for this bill and told them that my money would be going to their opponents in the fall election. That they thumbed their noses at the law abiding americans and it was time to clean house, or should I have said Senate? :)
Arguing over the "kind"(the details) of the bill is wasted effort..
This is a diversion.. Treason and Sedition are against the law but who will enforce them?.. NO ONE!... What is "illegal" has become a topic on a sliding scale.. Its only actually illegal if some "cop" will frog march you to the slammer.. and you're convicted..
Ask Sandy Berger... Passing a law is merely paperwork and photo ops.. Able Danger screams that.. We are no longer a nation of laws we are a nation of amnesty.. Amnesty for some and bonk bonk on the head for others.. The legal system is broken.. WHY?.. because Congress is broken.. as are the "people" that elect them.. WE ALREADY HAVE the Congress we deserve... else; "WE" wouldn't have elected them, "WE" did..
Whats legal or illegal is a Dog and Pony Show.. with clowns Elephants, Donkeys and everything.. It appears that what happens in Congress is a Sitcom.. not a serious sitcom but a comedy sitcom.. And "the People" want to be entertained..
ELSE; they would do something about it... They havn't AND WON'T.. The People are oblivious.. Angry or happy with the players on the sitcom, but not enough to do anything about it.. WHY?.. because the illusion of "WHATS LEGAL" is easier to fondle, else they might HAVE to do something.. Actually change their own attitudes AND DO SOMETHING.. like change their voting patterns..
On the otherhand Many many are very happy with the present situation.. they trust a broken Congress and/or a broken System.. Whats to change?.. Fat, happy and oblivious..
I think we need to ask that all illegals signed up to vote by socialists/communists/democrats from 2005 through November 2008 be investigated for document fraud and that those who signed them up be investigated for perpetrating voter fraud. We should not accept the results of any further election without that requirement.
Im trying to find out now. It really surprised me when I heard he did..
Heck - this is a BONUS for 'em. They might be able to Earned Income Tax credit for those years...
I agree. That roughly translates in to 2500 miles in areas not covered by a fence
Too bad 'ol Strom couldn't have lived to 120.
Can't SC do better than this liberal Republican senator? Makes no sense.
"Two can play at that game. All the House has to do is remind the WH that should the democrats get power the next two years aren't going to be very much fun for them."
Yes, impeachment fun coming up.
Old Gutless, Sell Out Linseed Gramham Cracker is not Strom thats for sure.
"I don't want a Commie liberal being their Commander and Chief while we are fighting a war (that he will not believe in)."
Then how do the Pelosis, Kennedys and Reids manage to get their way, even when their party is in the minority? The GOP majority counts for nothing, because too many cross the line and vote with the "commie liberals."
I share your pain. You have Lugar and I have Specter.
"Today, Sen. Jeff Sessions said that he's been approached by many Republican Senators, who confided in him that this is a BAD piece of work, yet, they are voting FOR it -- and, hoping that the House will save them from themselves!
Now, if anyone can come up with any third explanation for that kind of behavior -- something besides 'mentally ill', or 'just obeying orders' -- I'm all ears."
Sorry, it's obeying orders. Aka Rove. Aka "permanent Republican majority." End stop.
Then clean those people out of our Party during the Primary election.
"The 'other base' will continue to exercise its clout, and it's pretty obvious that they want this travesty to go through to completion, they intend to see it through, and they are NOT accustomed to NOT getting what they want."
This is the part I don't understand. These illegals are useful to the extent that they are illegal labor, and are paid under the table. Legalising them opens them up to unionisation.
Also, a massive influx of unskilled labor adds to the cost of the welfare state, which the monied interests end up paying a lot into. What then, hire more illegals to help lower the bottom line?
It's the marriage of big government and big business - fascism.
