I called Senator Frists's office to get the name and number of the border bill and it was so funny. The guy was really nice and said it was really frustrating him because he had to look it up about 35 times today and couldn't recall it now and couldn't find the docket sheet. :)
But what he said was really interresting, he said that Senator Frist is EXTREMELY confident it will get a floor vote this week, and that it would go to Bush that day or the next day, as it's such a simple bill, basically authorizing and funding building fences on all areas of the border that are easily crossed, and Bush would sign it immediately and that would be it. And he said that they are VERy confident that they have more then enough votes to get the 51 needed for passage. All the blustering about this is empty posturing. Sounds like there will be a fence in the coming months, and that would be a good start. :) A heck of a lot more then the Democrats have done or suggested for securing the border.
Get your barf bag out. Pat the DUmmie up next.
What happen to the Rush Thread?
I just watched Senator Frist on Hairball with Chrissy Matthews...it was the BEST interview I have ever heard Frist give...
He was very very strong towards Bush's GC stance..and he did NOT back down on anything, even with Chrissy getting nasty as usual.
I was his first segment...so if you watch the replay at 7:00 EDT...you might be surprised...but, you will also get from Chrissy the TACTIC that the dems are taking.
Thanks for the update Texas....the best thing Frist and the President could do for the nation and the party is sign a bill to enforce the border, and take all the rest of the debate about immigration up later.
