Senator Specter was largely responsible for last session’s albatross.

Maybe Reid will tie things up and we get a good case of gridlock.

Hope so, and I don’t believe Dennis could have a non-partisan child in the first place.

It is pretty pathetic when you have to filibuster your own president.

“Comprehensive” immigration reform, when you can’t even control the border, is a con game, it is a fraud, it is a shell game, and I’m not buying.

Secure the border. Enforce the law. Do that and the problem will be manageable. Fail to do that and nothing will work. “Comprehensive” reform is a fig leaf meant to hide the fact that we are phasing out old notions of citizenship, leaving only geographic regions of no particular meaning, inhabited by people with no particular tie to one another, ruled by an elite with no particular guiding principle.

THERE IS GOOD NEWS TODAY ON ILLEGAL IMMIRGRATION. After threatening a veto, the governor of Oklahoma signed into law the toughest illegal immigration bill in the country. Other states take notice.

Why? Why? Why since the 2004 election has Specter been the face of the Republican Party? Turn on C-SPAN, news program, or go online and there he is giving the Republican response to any and everything.

Do Republicans realize what a turn-off he is to the base?

There are sinister forces at work here, I’m sure!

“Hope so...”

“”The CCIR is compiling a bipartisan list of senators to target with future home-state ads, focusing on border states such as Texas and California, where Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D) has indicated she no longer would back last year’s bill.”

Feinstein out? It’s over.

In one month’s time these bizarre media articles writing as if the negotiations between extreme and extremer pro-amnesty factions of the Senate and the White House represent some kind of real bargaining process will die out.

I hope...

I think gridlock is grand sometimes, isn’t it?

If Specter supports it then is should be DOA.

Anything Sen Specter supports should immediatly be disqualified at the outset.

Let me guess...

some formula for eventual amnesty (amnesty with hoop jumping is still amnesty)

passage of the dream act in order to restore the “anchor babies” practice which was terminated in the 1996 immigration reform.

Relaxing of the current ten year rolling amnesty (harship visa based on stay of deportation of those in the USA for 10 years) documentation requirements.

Ted Kennedy will like it. (automatic bad thing)

Incredible!

Specter is a creep, and has been forever.

Anything with his name on it stinks, period.

I suppose now that I should actually read the article, and the posts that follow.

Bernie Goldberg says Republicans see illegal aliens and Democrats see future voters.

Given the narrow victory margins in recent elections (sometimes a few votes), several million more Mexicans tip the balance permanently to the libs. We can kiss our hopes for a conservative majority bye-bye for the next fifty years.

Sarcozy won by advocating the exportation of sans papiers (undocumented). Take heed.
