El presidente’ w/the stomach ache wants the Senate bill to proceed. (The House can stop it cuz there’s revenue in it. They are ordered by law to investigate any bill w/revenue in it.

It’s a Constitution thingy.

“The Constitution says that “all bills for raising revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives”...”

http://www.ustreas.gov/education/fact-sheets/taxes/writing.shtml

So...should this devil of a bill pass the Senate with a provision for the illegals to pay back taxes,
it will be dead on arrival in the House.

That is providing that the Constitution means anything to them anymore.

I don’t understand Lott these days.
He’s reminding me alot of Sybil.

He’s been ranting like a lunatic.
But, from the votes I’ve seen, he’s been voting the right way.

I can’t wait until Chip Pickering takes his seat.
He’s not a drama queen. ;o)

OTOH, Graham, I believe, is TOAST in SC.
Someone has already set up a Stop Graham site.
I hope they find a good primary challenger soon.

Graham and Hagel are the first two RINOs up, in 2008. Graham especially has to GO, as a lesson to the others.

As for logistics, remember that most of the illegals just need to go back across the southern border into Mexico ... as for the lawyers, yes, this country needs to take back its law from the current lousy legal regime.

True! Bussing them back to Mexico is easy. But illegal Mexicans are 60-70% of illegal aliens. Illegal alien criminals need to be deported back to China, Central America, Latin America etc. Thus is a logical nightmare. Trains and planes have to be lined up and some will require armed guards and deportees to be shackled!

Many nations will refuse to take back the basura they sent us

Need to know who is opposing in the primaries, they need to be funded.

Is the prez visiting the House members in addition to the Senate members? Seem that Tony Snow is very positive the garbage bill will pass. It's funny that callers to CSPAN are using words like "crap" to describe the senate bill. Etiquette is out the window. The majority has totally been ignored, dismissed and disrespected. It's not just pubbies against the bill but the MSM wants everyone to think it's pubbie phone calls.

IT'S A BAD BILL. EVEN DEMS BACK HOME DON'T WANT IT.

I have no idea if Bush is talking to members of the House just yet.

One of their tactics is to spin it like they are winning.
They aren’t...

The guy who is running against Hagel is up 9 pts in a poll, just a week after announcing. Rumor has it, anyway. (Grundy? Something like that.)

I heard Hagel’s opponent on Mark Levin’s show last week.
He said his polling showed him up nine points.

I don’t remember his name, but he’s Nebraska’s Attorney General, and a young ‘un to boot.

Not my state, but I would pony up a few bucks for the primary fight. Lessons need to be learned. If anyone wants to ping me when the fight starts, I am up for it.

Good to hear from you, Travis.

Attorney General Jon Bruning

Hagel and Miss Lindsey need to go, and I would be happy to donate to both of their opponents.

Has anyone in SC shown any interest in Lindsey's seat?
