Bush will be trying to buy Senatorial votes to shove this amnesty thing in the back door, folks.

IMO, he is becoming an enemy of the Republic.

What is more likely: El Presidente becoming AWARE and then doing the right thing on the border?

or his Impeachment by Democrats (in the absence of his previous base)?

I agree. Impeach his butt.

If President Bush was smart... (hey, I said if!) ... he would let this one go.

If President Bush continues down this road, the coalition of people who will oppose him is already organized. There will be no delay as people who support him on the War on Terror decide whether or not to come out against him on amnesty.

He spent that goodwill, and got nothing for it. But just because he got nothing for it does not mean it was not spent. If he so much as breathes a word about amnesty between now and January 2009, the base will be all over him, and it won't be pretty.

We have to be ready to pluck them out one by one.

Remember this about politicians. Their only real loyalty is to themselves and their getting themselves re-elected.

We have to stand ready to put them out of office.

The immigration bill is certainly not dead. It’s in surgery. The White House and both parties in the Senate want some kind of immigration bill before ‘08, and they’ll carve it into something that can win enough votes to pass.

Until the "Duncan Hunter" Fence that already pasted into law gets funded, you and i will know that they are full of it.

Get ready for the Battle of the Bulge. The think we will wear down. I hope we can win the next round. We need to be all over the next attempt. I am hoping for some big things from the American people.

Bush is willing to strongarm members of his own party in an effort to pass legislation that will destroy the United States... all against the wishes of the overwhelming majority of the American people. He is an enemy of the republic.

I was speaking with friends over the weekend - all older, learned men: attorneys, PhD holders, and a philosophy professor - about the chances of violence against the government if this bill passes. All of them agreed that passage of the amnesty bill would foment the exact same seeds of revolution that that led to our war against the British crown.

At what point does an armed response become necessary to protect our country from those who would destroy it?

The thing I do not understand is that there is very simple path(s) for him to get what he wants and us to get what we want. Close down the F’n border and start a guest worker program. Just don’t make law breakers automatic citizens. 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.

Some UGLY realities for the GOP RINO’s here.....

1. Jorge Bush is a lame-duck president who can’t do anything but give you back-slaps. He has no mandate on this issue. NONE. Bush has now lost almost all politcal support. The only supporters he has left are the radical moderates.

2. The public is DEAD-SET AGAINST this bill. We want the immigration problem fixed. But we aren’t stupid. This bill won’t fix the things that are broken. In fact, this bill makes them worse. The public wants the borders secured and the current laws enforced BEFORE we do anything else.

3. It is OBVIOUS to us that the ones supporting this bill are trying to deliver a political payoff. A Rasmussen poll showed that by a nearly 2-1 margin the voters opposed this bill. So, why are about 10-15 Senators from both sides fighting to get this passed like they are on the beach on D-Day? M-O-N-E-Y. It is CLEAR that big business and lobbyists are promising money in some form to these politicians.

You haven’t seen earmarks until you see those that start getting doled out to buy votes to get shamnesty passed.

The taxpayer cookie jar will be wide open now with both Bush and Reid having to rescue their reputation and get that Republican cheap labor and Democrat voter bloc.

Folks read that Dream Act that Durbin is sponsoring.

Essentially ANY (and I do mean ANY) minor, born OR NOT BORN IN THE USA, will be able to claim automatic citizenship just because they attend public school.

IT is PURE UNADULTERATED OPEN BORDER NO RESTRICTION IMMIGRATION.

ALL any parents need to do is enroll their illegal child into a public school and it becomes an “anchor baby.” (something eliminated in the 1996 immigration reform act)

BEWARE DURBIN WANTS OPEN BORDERS FOR ILLEGALS.

Citizenship should be reserved for those people who bring special talents to the country's needs. Guest workers come do their job and leave. The idea of permanent guest workers is ludicrous. Any permanent job should be done by American citizens. Employers of guest workers should be made to furnish proof of medical insurance for their workers so as not to pass these costs on to the taxpayers. We have enough welfare recipients, we do not need to be importing them.

the White House is still 100% committed to getting this bill passed

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.

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.
