Do we have a list of the turncoat Republican senators who support this monstrosity vs those who oppose it?

41 seems like an unlikely number to obtain from the Senate.... The better chances would appear to be in the House, imo.

Michael Barone, US News and World Report has an interesting article on how the Senators voted on the 06 Immigration Bill and what maybe expected this time.

SC Lindsey Graham:

For him to lead a filibuster, he would need to extract his nose from McCain's ass

Very unlikely

Graham is a long lost cause. He’s said to La Raza that America is an idea, not a place.

These pr!cks should be watching over their shoulders. Lines are being drawn.

The GOP will be the 1st casualty of this farce that will forever change the face of America.

I can’t see why everyone is surprised. Bush even campaign for illegal aliens rights.

Don't worry about Iraq. We are surrendering to Mexico on Monday.

If the McCain/Kennedy immigration bill passes, we will have lost the Nation as we know it.

I couldn't have said it any better myself.

This bill has to be stopped in the Senate because with the democrats in charge of the House we can’t be sure they won’t ram something through in the middle of the night.

I went to the site, noticed that it says if an emergency fax your comment.

Guess that means the e-mails may not be read or at least not anytime soon.

I’ve always wondered how many of the e-mails actually get read. It’s a lot better I think to call or snail mail them.
