Leave No Child Felon Behind

[penowa]

Johnson (D-SD) ??????? He’s back and voting????? Since when?

[RegulatorCountry]

Coburn (R-OK)

Oh, god. Somebody please tell me Tom Coburn is ill or legitimately indisposed in some other way, and did not deliberately abstain.

[caisson71]

Sell? Heck, we’re paying them to take it.

[bestrongbpositive]

I need to know how the two GA Senator’s, Isackson and Chambliss voted on this ??

[delphirogatio]

Third or fourth box?

Four boxes:
Soap,
ballot,
jury,
ammo.
Use in that order.

[RegulatorCountry]

He’s under “Did Not Vote” with Tom Coburn (R-OK).

[The Blitherer]

Is it possible some of the R’s voted nay on this ammendment in order to make the bill MORE odious so it won’t pass?

[Soul Seeker]

And yet the President would sign this trash.

I want a bill calling for these politicians to be deported.

[Kozak]

Democrats succeeded in sucking...

Best line in the article.

This POS would be dead in the water without RINO's.
And I do blame them.

[Brucifer]

The people running the country don’t stand for anything anymore. They’re just a pack of whores.

The close vote on a proposal by Sen. John Cornyn (news, bio, voting record), R-Texas, to bar felons — including those court-ordered to be deported — from legalization ...

The vote was 51-46 against the amendment.

So 51 of our "representatives" voted to allow in felons and those deported for violating our laws. Wonderful.

Gee, you think if I declared no income this year and used the tax savings to buy a post-'86 machine gun on a street corner that I'd get the same consideration? Corrupt, traitorous Murtha Phockers!!!!

Sen. John McCain R(INO)-Ariz., alone among his party's presidential aspirants in backing the immigration measure....

Buh-bye, nutball. Thanks for making it so much easier for Fred to take away a lot of your support, on his way to getting the nomination and winning next November.

Sen. Charles Schumer, D(IPSCHIT)-N.Y., called Cornyn's measure "a stealth, Trojan horse amendment to kill the bill."

Kennedy, Admiral-USS Oldsmobile, an architect of the bill, said it "would exclude hundreds of thousands from the benefits in this bill and undermine the bipartisan compromise that (senators) worked so long and so hard to produce."

Good job, McCain, throwing in with those traitors. Don't let the door hit you in the @ss on the way out, putz.

[Greg F]

The thiefs, armed robbers, and violent muggers would still get amnesty under this bill.

This is very important information. It needs to get on every major news media outlet. No regular person would support the bill knowing this.

[RegulatorCountry]

I need to know how the two GA Senator’s, Isackson and Chambliss voted on this ??

They both voted "Yea" to the amendment.

ssshhhh..

It’s just one of many stinkers in this monstrosity.

[processing please hold]

Oh, god. Somebody please tell me Tom Coburn is ill or legitimately indisposed in some other way, and did not deliberately abstain.

In time I'm sure you will see how the system works.

[Ancesthntr]

Larry Craig voted for this shiite?! WTF!

[Jeff Head]

Kennedy, an architect of the bill, said it "would exclude hundreds of thousands (of felons) from the benefits in this bill and undermine the bipartisan compromise that (senators) worked so long and so hard to produce." - emphasis mine

Bastards.

[CharlesWayneCT]

And don’t forget terrorists. They get to stay as well (well, people on the terrorist support list).
