It's Not Over

It's Not Over [Kathryn Jean Lopez]

A Senate aide cautions:

First, yes, the victory yesterday - a product of tireless efforts by a handful of conservative Senators and staff - is a nice pause in this debacle. But I am afraid that is all it may be... the White House is still 100% committed to getting this bill passed. Harry Reid is looking to actually accomplish SOMETHING for crying out loud... and there is no tiring by ... the entire "deal-making" team. The White House has a full plan of attack. They are ready to start plucking votes one-by-one. Conservatives should note precisely which Senators were with us on defeating cloture and compare that to how Senators may change if the bill comes back... in other words, we should make sure we know which Senators are bought-off if the White House does what we believe they will. The sad reality is that people are putting far too much stock in the votes against cloture for some of the deal-makers. Some felt they had to vote that way in order to be "fair" to the caucus. However, those guys were ready to vote the other way if they had felt they could get away with it. Seriously, don't make too much of their votes... there were very specific reasons why they did it - and it had to do with the tough stances of a few conservative senators...

I am not calling for President Bush to be removed from office. But I would hope he realizes that he gave his best push for amnesty here, and that any future efforts are doomed to fail even more miserably.

I don’t know. I voted for him both times and he’s just not standing out as a leader I can be proud of.

They can get in line like everybody else and do it the right way. I have several Hispanics who work for me. They came here illegally as children and worked their asses off to become legal. They are more pissed about instant citizenship than I am.

Every legal immigrant should be freakin LIVID about this act. I know my wife is.

Mexican nationals have no allegiance to the United States.

Mexico is not our friend and never has been.

Mexico opposes our war efforts.

Mexico is an enemy.

Mexico sucks.

See Sir Francis, There are some things we can agree on.

You say the same thing in 7,9, and 10. Is your only argument to call people children because they stand firm on their beliefs? You are weak.

There is no Constitutional recourse mid-term for Senators and Representatives. There is impeachment for the President and other officers of the executive branch, as well as those in the judicial branch.

There is not a single evidence that one islamic terrorist actually crossed the border illegaly since 2001.

You know your praise of Bush is one thing, that's your priviedge, but to keep lying about this stuff is just beyond reason! I showed you the lie of that not a week ago, which you ignored, just like you ignore the wrongs of this president.

Here's the list of just SOME of the terrorist tied border crossers. Read it this time. Ignoring the truth will NOT make it go away. I told you, every time I see you lie on this forum, I'm going to correct it. So stop and I sure will.

Humility:

is a quality or characteristic ascribed to a person who is considered to be humble. "Humility is derived from the Latin word "humilis", which means low, humble, from earth.[1]

A humble person is generally thought to be unpretentious and modest: someone who does not think that he or she is better or more important than others.

“WHY?? Why does he want to legalize criminals which will eventually allow them to vote in a liberal with a landslide? Is Bush really a liberal? Has he gone to the dark side recently or has he been there all along? Are businesses paying him THAT much money to get their slave labor kept in the USA? It’s unbelievable. I am really hating that man.”

Bush is first and foremost and internationalist. He does not put the needs of the United States First. The most important think to him is to further the New World Order.

I expect they will try to revive it. But when they do, we'll be waiting - and ready to stop it again. I think something changed last night and conservatism is back again in America. Its a huge win and the RINOs and Democrats are now on the defensive - over amnesty. This is hugely unpopular with the American people.

While this is true one should not forget the depth of their involvement in the business of selling out Americans.

All things said Aunt B. He has certainly not shown his ability as he put it. “I’m a uniter not a divider”.

And last weekend, the landscaping crew on my neighbor's yard started in at 6:45 on Sunday morning. The social compact has been well and truly shattered.

In my community they started at 6:30 last Sunday. If my complaining doesn't get results I may have to buy a bagpipe and start reveille at 5:30 for the offenders.
