God Bless King!

Now, if we could just put a lid on the Latino movement mouth pieces who rear their ugly heads on the talk shows, including my favorite one, Lou Dobbs.

I'd like to see them totally cut off because when this thing goes to the House, we are going to be bombarded with their ilk and protest Marches.

They are way too quiet now..

"The will of the Senate was not the will of the people"

I don't see why anybody is surprised.

The House is elected every two years, the Senate every six. With almost no accountability and election practically guaranteed for life for most Senators, they are free to do whatever their biggest contributors want.

The abominable 17th Amendment assured they are no longer responsible to their respective States, and the loooong terms of office assures them they can do almost anything and the fickle public will likely forget and vote for them again strictly on their acquired name recognition.

Meanwhile, their exalted opinions of themselves climbs higher and higher as they slap each others' backs in comity and call each other "esteemed colleagues" and "distinguished gentleman". I am so sick of these haughty people. They have come to represent not us, but what is worst in Washington.

I've never seen a disconnect between the will of the people and the actions of elected officials as we've seen in the Senate.

And the White House, for that matter.

But, then again, the House members are accountable to the people every two years, so that might well have something to do with the fact that they are listening to the people.

Even Chief RINO Chris Shays (CT) "gets it". He has held town meetings, where it has become clear to him that amnesty is completely unacceptable.

When Dobbs asked if it is possible four and a half years after 9/11 "for this White House to comprehend, for that Senate to comprehend, there are about 280 million Americans out here who deserve protection at their ports and at their borders and that the people are sick and tired. They've had a belly full of the nonsense. They want the borders secured. They want the ports secured, and really don't want to hear any more about free trade and impediments to commerce.”

BUMP!

Haven't heard many boo-birds against Dobbs here lately... either the schills for the Admin have finally had second thoughts about their own support of a really bad idea come hell or high water, or they simply know they are beaten.

The truth won out. At least this time. Let's just pray that we can prevent the Rats from getting a decisive Pro-Illegal majority in Congress as a result of this calculated series of attacks on the Base by W and Rove.

The thing that really hacks me is that if the Senate REPRESENTED THE STATES as WAS ORIGINALLY INTENDED then this piece-o-turd legislation would have gotten shot down toot sweet.

How about the house pass a "clean" fence bill?

Just a bill that ONLY adresses the fence issue. I think that will go a long way towards progress on this issue.

It is a tangible and effective tool.

Blockade the whole 2000 mile length.

Good fences make good neighbors. If mexico is reaaaaaly our friend they already know this.

But it goes beyond it; these are Reagan Republicans, and Democrats, independents, moderates -- across the board people are opposed. They want border security first.”

Correction: They want border security PERIOD. We're already flooded here in SoCal, FGS. Give us a break already...let these masses assimilate!

I wonder what President Bush would do if he was presented with a security only bill out of conference and not a "comprehensive" immigration bill?

Sounds good to me, now lets see how many RINO's and liberal traitors will campaign on the issue of amnesty for all.

No one can accuse President Bush of caving. Having a strong will is admirable but as in the case of a mule, first your have to hit him in the head with a 2 x 4.
