Let the recriminations begin!
Blood on K Street!
I don’t think the two who wrote this have a clue about politics in this county. The first statement, “a bid to limit the political backlash from a failure to pass the sweeping bill,” demonstrates a basic ignorance that is stunning. They have no concept of what the backlash would be if the bill passes.
Oh? And from whence is this "backlash" to come?
Ohhhhhhhhh, yes. George Soros and his scum-under-the-sludge-at-the-bottom-of-the-barrel ilk.
Reiod must be even dumber than I formerly believed and thats tough. He is trying to blame this on Bush. Bush pushed this thing hard ,and he deservedly caught hell because of it ,then this Reid idiot is trying to sya its his fault for its failure.
hey-—Reid—You dipstick, you friggin idiot, It failed becasue the bill sucked. The American people told you they didnt want it and you buttwipes tried to shove it down our throats anyway.
Go back and make a real bill with real teeth and enforce US laws on the border and in the rest of the country like we elected you to do. Send illegals home and make them enter legally or not at all./
There have been to many decades of this nonsense.
Thank god for the Internet, now we can read bills ourselves!
I think there would have been a bigger backlash if this bill actually passed. What a mess.
"AMNESTY BILL FAILS -- "THE COUNTRY & REPUBLICAN PARTY IS SAVED FOR NOW!"
No kidding....if we build the wall, enforce ALL existing laws I’d be at least willing to look at some type of reform in some way, shape or form....but until then, fuggetaboutit
If Bush had his head screwed on right, he’d have pushed to close the border after 9/11 and cracked down on illegals, instead of trying to cram this amnesty down our throats in his lame duckness.
It wasn’t just a bad bill, it was incompetent politics.
I can't believe I'm actually happy about the 'accomplishments' of Reid on this. What a collection of jackasses we have in DC these days. The less they get accomplished, the better.
When they try to ramrod stupid laws like this “Gridlock” looks like the good old days.
Go ahead....make my day!
Or just enforce some laws...then we can talk. When you are down here in Texas and paying a fortune to educate the children of Mexico (which can certainly afford to educate its own kids) then one’s perspective is different. I won’t even get started on health care...
<< The first statement, “a bid to limit the political backlash from a failure to pass the sweeping bill,” demonstrates a basic ignorance that is stunning >>
They meant to say “limit the political backlash from the hispanic immigration rights groups and the open-borders business lobby.”
The MSM is only able to think in terms of ethnic blocks and interest groups. Average Americans don’t enter into their thinking.
that's what this has been all along... all i've heard from proponents is, "we've gotta do something... we've gotta do something." nobody, including Mr. President, explained why this particular bill was worthy of passage... just that we had to do something... anything...
The Libs and Rinos dodged a bullet here. They (the Rinos) believe that there will be a "backlash of Latino voters in '08."
That will be nothing like the one they will face from their non-Latino voters!!!
