If you are in a border state I can sympathize because of the numbers. Perhaps some sort of incentive to settle in other than border states would be helpful.

[Jim Robinson]

And a hush falls over the Senate...

[Guenevere]

This is embarrassing.

[romanesq]

I’m not nearly as confident. Based on the fact that 69 Senators voted to bring this monstrosity out of the double secret probation room, it’s clear they think they can ram it through.

There’s no reason to believe otherwise.

[michigander]

He could take up the 30 hours himself....

Calling for the Senators to vote from behind their desks. LOL!

It's in the rules......

[acoulterfan]

I think he is getting his point across. Thank him for reminding them of the standing rules.

[michigander]

What's so imoprtant back here!!!!!

STFU!!!!

[brydic1]

Byrd is opposed to this, so he is a one man filibuster machine.

[truthkeeper]

Watching Byrd is a little like watching a train wreck. But imagine, even with only 1/2 of his marbles he still had enough sense to vote “vote.”

[michigander]

LOL! This is going to be good....

[WOSG]

“Per Sen. Sessions, they are presented with basically last year’s bill. That is what they will read and vote on. Then, later, when convenient, Reid and Company will substitute the new bill for the old bill.

The problem is, no one outside those involved in the secret meetings know what the new bill actually contains.

But by the time the new bill contents are available, the bill will have already been passed.”

Irrespective of the outrages in the bill itself, the manner of putting this togeher is an outrage in itself.

[truthkeeper]

And a hush falls over the Senate...

I think that's because everybody left.

[acoulterfan]

Thank God for some comedic relief!

[Lovergirl]

Can someone please tell me what Sen. Byrd is doing?

[riri]

They go to our schools

Our schools? LOL, by sheer numbers looks like it's going to be their schools as much as it is our schools.

And if you are thinking there is going to be some big push to assimilate these people there, think again.

Following that, once our university system gets a hold of them and radicalizes them. Forget about it.

Tell us about your fond memories as a KKK recruiter, Bobby...

As when you wrote in a 1943 letter:
“The Klan is needed today as never before and I am anxious to see its rebirth here in West Virginia” and “in every state in the Union.”

I guess it’s OK if Byrd preaches about proper Senate etiquette, so long as he doesn’t preach about ethics, what with all the lynchings and terror the spiritual father of the Democrat party is complicit in.

[jragan2001]

Mr. Alexander has usually acted like a “RINO” anyway. Sen. Corker is a more conservative Republican and a rising star from the Chattanooga area.

[Earthdweller]

LOL! I have an old Aunt who lives right outside of LA. She has to travel across the border with her church group to find families to help out. Do I need to find you a bag to hyperventilate in or will you be alright?

[Guenevere]

Very true!

[truthkeeper]

“Who am I”...”Why am I here?”...
