I believe Hayworth said he opposed it because it was too weak.

Imagine the Impact of Frist losing his seat?

What are you talking about? Frist isn't even running.

The note I sent to my Senator that defected to the Dems on this Bill:

Senator Brownback - I am OUTRAGED at your vote on the Senate Immigration Bill. You broke ranks with a majority of Republican Senators. You broke ranks with Senators Roberts, Talent and Bond. But more importantly, you broke ranks with - and are losing the faith of - your constituents.

A SIGNIFCANT PLURALITY of citizens do not want the type of reform the Senate passed on Thursday. How is it that you found yourself able to support a bill that a MAJORITY of Republican Senators opposed?

How is it that you supported a bill that the two Senators from Texas did not support? Do you not think they understand, better than you, the implications of illegal immigration upon our society?

As a strong Republican, my only regret is that you are NOT up for reelection until 2010. For I would devote all of my energy into finding and supporting a GOP candidate that would represent our values, that would not give away our culture and our country to Mexico and that would care more about what U.S. citizens wanted than what illegal aliens and the President of Mexico wanted.

Oh my goodness! Senator Graham of South Carolina voted "YEA".

I am shocked I tell you; shocked!!!!

In the primaries I will support the most conservative Republican running. In the general, I am supporting a CONSERVATIVE, and I don't give a damn about what party they are in.

[gaspar]

Note that the two Senate Republicans from Alaska voted yea. Both want to continue the imperial practice of allowing cheap illegal laborers to serve as slaves in that misbegotten Siberia that passes for a state.

You need 60 votes to stop debate in the Senate. So without 60 conservative votes in the Senate nothing gets done except mandatory budget bills.

But, with a majority of government comes a majority voice in order to put liberals on the spot which makes them lose every time. Republicans were handed unprecedented control of government and have so far proven to be extremely ineffective.

Thank goodness Texas cancels out NM! (I love NM but they are from hunger in the politics dept)

[brytlea]

Yeah, and unfortunately 60 repubs does not nec equal 60 conservative votes.
