There is an assumption here that the House of Representatives will pass this same bad legislation. It won’t happen.
Probably not, Pasha Pelosi has said she needs at least 60 republican House members to vote for this amnesty bill, that is not outside the realm of possiblity btw.
What is so bad at McConnel’s and Lott’s position is that they are actually shafting “us” the base, they will not listen to us, they do not care to take our views into account, and some go out of their way to insult us in favor of people who are not even citizens of the US.
“Ignorant” “Zenophobe” “Nativist” etc.
They are speaking about “us” when they say those things, as if we won’t remember down the road and just stay home if this passes.
That is probably what they will be hoping for in 2008, but it won't happen. There will be a strong movement to oust those who favor this Anti-American bill in the House, the Senate and the Presidential elections.
It’s spelled “Xenophobe”, you racist, nativist bigot! :-)
