Or my number one goal in life becomes extracting revenge against the GOP.

I won't ever call my 19-year-old daughter a drama queen again!

I propose HR 25, S 25 The FairTax bill...one step at a time and the first step needs to be to make all taxes visible and controlled by the people--put a strangle hold on the money flowing to the Congresscritters and then reign in spending by not allowing the amount to be raised.

I agree completely.........but

Given the current makeup of the House and Senate, do you think they would pass a bill such as HR 25?

I don't.

And if control goes to the "Dark side", do you think they would pass a bill that would take $$$ away from their social programs?

They will be looking to increase the flow of $$$ into their schemes.

Believe me, I'm normally not the 'doom and gloom' type......but I don't see a very good chance of seeing the slightest glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel.

I've got the bino's out and I'm looking hard.

Republics demand responsibility and morality not only from the elected officials, but from the People as well.

Strike One........Striiiiiiiiiike Two.........

We the people - have forgotten about that.

"I've got the bino's out and I'm looking hard."

I know the feeling.
I often wonder if it is too late. The slide into socialism is a slick one, ain't it.

Which of the Republican Senators who voted Yea on this still have a primary this year?

I don't know and I'm not sure of any easy way to find out. I'll let you know if I find anything.

Now, at least we know who the traitors are--all 62 of them.

How about our own deck of cards: "Republican Weasels"?

There's a certain morbid fascination in watching a political party pour gasoline over its head and then strike a match.

I heard am out take on the local radio station, Kyl was not happy with the bill. Did you hear the debate on Hannity's radio show with Graham, Santorum, Kolby and JD Hayworth? Santorum is ticked off, JD is really p.oed and minced no words about how the senate is basically in the pocket of special interests.

What do you make of the President freezing everything the FBI took out of Jefferson's office? Is this to make nice with Hastert to get him to push this bill? I know at this point I sound like a conspiracy theorist, again...

Lott broke with McCain on this. Very interesting.

Graham was downright disgusting, today, when I was listening to him justify this on the radio. I hope he is sent packing when he's up for re-election again.

O'Reilly made clear to his listening audience (on the radio) that if the dems were in charge of the house there is no doubt this would be passed as is.

I missed H&C. I heard local radio KFYI and Kyl. I also receive emails from Kyl. He'll prevail in Nov. MCCain's presidential hopes are burned toast. The House, Senate reconciliation of the two bills, if lives up to the media hype, will be a brawl worth watching. America v. Globalists.

I don't believe Pres. Bush should not have tampered with a USDOJ investigation, of Jefferson, or Hastert. Moreover, I've never heard of subpoenaed evidence being sealed and negotiable during a criminal investigation? Sort of stands the rule of law on it's head.

If this is playing out as I suspect we are in deep doo-doo as a country.

We are no longer a nation with a leadership which believes in the rule of law. Plan accordingly.

The rule of law is the thing that differentiates us and Banana Republics ---and camouflage-clad federales patrolling the streets with shoulder holsters and ammo straps. The invaders undermine our freedoms and bring with them Marxist contempt for our efforts to maintain a civilized society under a Constitution.

The sense of entitlement these people have is outrageous-----that we owe them a living, and that US citizens, and the US government, exist for their convenience...... while they break our laws with complete impunity.

The democrats and republicans care more about potential votes, then the majority of the existing citizens who have expressed that they do not want an amnesty. Thus they caved into empty threats by illegals and radical latino organizations and made a joke of the entire US legal system, border enforcement, and its laws.

IMHO, the RINOs aren't trying to capture votes from the illegals for themselves. Rather, they're trying to ensure that the Democrats remain enough power that they can argue the need for "moderate" Republicans. The RINOs are more than happy to allow Democrats to cheat, since it prevents their real enemies (conservatives) from gaining too much power.

If we can believe what we read, the immigration legislation's final outcome has yet to be determined. There could be surrendered reconciliation, or nothing.

The so called long term political fallout is just months away, and will be determined by us voters. I believe, there's been to big of an uproar for short memories for 06 or 08. Credit the American people for being better informed, then have occurred in the past. There's to much at stake for us to develop amnesia and/or forget or forgive these bloviating NWO rascals.

I know. It breaks my heart to see what is happening to my once upright country.

I guess we will find out if Hastert is willing to throw his speakership and the house to the wolves to please McCain and the President.

Two thoughts. Either the USDOJ and the Executive weren't on the same page (a double cover up), or a massive leader of the Houswe smack down, of go soft on S-2611 or else.
