I hope Tom Tancredo wins this Senate seat.

Salazar should move to Mexico and run for office there.

“Why did the good people of Colorado elect this Socialist??”

Probably because he promised them something for nothing.

Salazar won because the Colorado Republican Party ran a Rhino (Coors) that was so pathetic that he was unable to attract the votes of the Independents. The Republicans held their nose and voted for Coors, but to win in Colorado, you need the Independent vote.

I hope someone starts a Recall Salazar movement in Colorado.

They haven’t been told by MoveOn.org yet that defeat IS an option on immigration. When they get their marching orders from the moonbat wing, they’ll cave faster than a sand castle in a tidal wave.

I agree it’s not dead. The backers of this bill will not give up, and neither should we. We’ll fight them tooth and nail on this. On that they can be certain.

Defeat not an option?????? I don’t think so. I just don’t understand what these people are thinking. The will of the people has been made known on no uncertain terms. This is a bad bill and we don’t want it! What’s not to understand here?

Why did the good people of Colorado elect this Socialist? Because the Republicans in all their wisdom went with the candidate with the most money, pete coors, who was a neophyte, instead of the principled conservative who could have beat Tonto the Socialist, ie former congressman Bob Schaffer.

BEWARE THE STAGES OF GRIEVING!!!!!

LAST NIGHT WE HAD DENIAL!
(especially with multiple cloture votes)

THEN WE HAD ANGER!
(given all those whining blame conservatives and the duck test)

NOW WE HAVE BARGANING!
(lets make a deal at any cost)

Next we have Depression
(however for us this means Democrats are willing to be in a bunker mentality which destroys all the USA.)

As for Acceptance, the Democrat Party will accept blaming republicans...

Check the Seantor’s last name, then think it over about lending him any credence. Need more proof that immigration doesn’t work? There he is, a US senator, and still nothing more than a mexican. And if you allow this amnesty, these mexicans will FILL THE SENATE with their own kind. They won’t be content with the crumbs that these democrats will throw to them, they will kick the butts of the current heavy-weight democrats and take over.
