Today is the Cloture Vote on Immigration Bill [first cloture vote fails; 2nd cloture vote fails]

7 June 2007 | Gulf War One

[Gulf War One]

This is the homestretch.

Call and e-mail your senators today, Republicans and Democrats, urging them not to table debate on this critical piece of legislation.

It deserves a fair and open debate of all ramifications. To do otherwise is unamerican.

Ask them to vote "NO" on cloture.

Keep bumping this to the top.

Today is the day.

[Cedric]

Relax. It’s over. We won!

[Founding Father]

What the hell is McConnell talking about? Does he want this bill to pass?

[Fudd Fan]

What in holy hell is McConnell saying? He’s urging Dingy to bring this up again?!~

[Not A Snowbird]

You know, I would almost be okay with this bill if they did the next best thing... put in a provision that nobody who came here illegally as a consenting adult can EVER get LPR status or citizenship. EVER. Ship them home as we catch them, and hammer the hell out of employers who hire illegals. Shut them down.

Give temporary workers who apply for a visa a chartreuse card that has to be renewed every two years, no entitlement to social security or welfare, and ship them home if they commit a crime or stop working.

There. Solved it.

[TheLion]

Can’t believe that McConnell wants this damn bill. He definitely needs to go!

[kabar]

McConnell is trying to save it!!!!

[ChicagoConservative27]

I don’t have the TV on.

[Roccus]

He damned sure doesn’t want it dead!!!

[Red_Devil 232]

He is a RINO ... want to go back to it soon!

[floriduh voter]

Yeah, FR countered the toll free calls to our congress with our own phone calls, faxes and emails. If something stinks, freepers will step in it, on it and stick with it because we are patriots. It’s never been about lettuce!

[TomGuy]

McConnell is backtracking, wanting the bill revisited.

What the ???????

[angkor]

Kerry voted?

He doesn’t work past Thursday morning.

He must have phoned it from Scaramouche.

[Cedric]

He’s taunting him!

[ChicagoConservative27]

What the hell is his problem?

[NeoCaveman]

For now.

But like a horror movie villian, this thing will probably pop up again at some point....

[IslandJeff]

Reid and McConnell reading a eulogy.

They’re trying to back away with something resembling collegiality. America won, you jerks.

I liked Hugh Hewitt’s quote from about half an hour ago: they got “Mitch-slapped”.

[Netizen]

“There’s lots of support for this on the outside.”

Yeah, outside the southern border!

[Guenevere]

Bttt to your wisdom!

[FReepapalooza]

That’s what I posted upstream, Let’s take advantage of this momentum and drive the stake into it’s heart forever!

[RasterMaster]

Not really certain on that, McConnell won’t let it go!
