So now they're trying to claim NOT granting amnesty is granting amnesty.

Graham actually said that?

I’m not ok with status quo. But I prefer it to amnesty.

The collapse of the giant immigration overhaul in the Senate might demonstrate that the dreaded status quo -- 12 million people living in the country illegally and more arriving each day -- is not really so dreadful after all.
Is that what it really means, Carolyn. Is that what it really means inside your your teeny, tiny, brain-damaged head?

In other words, a country is being invaded. The leadership comes up with a plan that totally ignores the invasion and promises to do something completely unrelated to stopping the invasion.

In response to that stupid plan, the people say, "your plan stinks".

Therefore, according to the brilliant reasoning of Carolyn, the people don't mind being invaded at all!

Wow. Someone give Carolyn a Big Huge Brain Award. She can put it up there on the mantle with all her other cool trophies.

(Are all reporters really this stupid?)

These liberal press people just refuse to recognize the obvious. Unbelievable.

Kind of like the 2006 election was about Iraq and corruption. Please. It was about the GOP shafting their base- and they STILL don’t get it.

Yep. They simply refuse to enforce the laws on the books so as to claim we can do nothing about it and getting amnesty written into law. Their argument is like saying that if we don't catch every murderer, rapist or child molester, we should stop enforcing those laws. No one makes such a ridiculous argument in those kinds of cases. But we're supposed to be convinced that because we haven't enforced our immigration laws, that we should us give up. Our elite would like to give up and they're annoyed we want to keep America alive.

Immigration bill's demise suggests many are OK with status quo

No it doesn't Carolyn! Anything but!

I does however STRONGLY indicate that the VAST majority of the American people can recognize a BAD deal - one which would make things WORSE rather than better - when they see one!

I’m not OK with the status quo but this is not the way to do it. Doesn’t the word “illegal” mean anything anymore? I’m certainly not satisfied with the status quo in the Republican party especially Lindsey Graham.

BALONEY!

American's hate the status quo! Americans want the Border closed and all Illegal Immigration stopped!

We also do not want a 108-page bill passed that nobody knows what's in!

It's not hard to understand!

What is this woman using for brains?

"Immigration bill's demise suggests many are OK with status quo..."

Yeah, about 13-million of them, and they all speak Spanish.

That headline is about the most ridiculous "leap of faith" assumption I have heard yet from the MSM. We all know that most people get their newspaper "news" from headlines and photo/captions.

It's like claiming "Not all Americans play the Lotto, so those Americans obviously prefer being poor".

Thr president's mouthpiece, Tony Snow, said essentially the same thing. It is part of the plan to give us two bad choices and try to convince us that the worse one (the new law) is actually better. We won't be fooled again by an "amnesty now, enforcement later" law like 1986.

"Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., threatened to attach the immigration overhaul to bills naming a post office if it comes to that."

The nerve of that belligerent little ass.

Just because we don’t want to further ignore existing law and make things worse doesn’t mean we are okay with the status quo.
What fracking moron logic is that.

Lets see how much of the fence is built which they are mandated to do. F*** Washington DC. They are traitors if they won’t build more of the fence to at least show some good faith.

If the double layer fence is built and we start deporting those 600,000 who have defied deportation orders, then I’m willing to think about some kind of amnesty but never citizenship. But the simple fact is the rats in DC have so much contempt for Americans they won’t even take thee two steps.

One more time for Carolyn. Just to help her understand.

You have a leak in a pipe in an upstairs bathroom.

A plumber comes and offers to punch a hole in a pipe in your basement, so that less water will get up to the bathroom to leak.

You say: “stupid idea!”

Your husband says: “Carolyn, that means you LIKE the leak in your bathroom!”

Now, Carolyn, can you see where the husband might be not be using the brains that god gave a gnat?

Can you apply this reasoning to the larger picture? Can you try to measure up to gnat-brain-power? (It’s not hard. Just try.)

We do not need a NEW law, we just need to ENFORCE the current laws.

Media counter-attack - Key phrases: Status quo, defacto amnesty, North Carolina crop rot, “immigrants” disappointed. etc... They’re pulling out all the stops to turn this around. Time for more calls and mailings.

No, it dosen’t. It suggests that many do not wish blanket annesty given to blant law violators.

The many, if I read it correctly, wish for the immigration laws now on the books to be enforced.

I'm not surprised that the San Francisco Comical / Carolyn Lockedbrain would say something like this. There will surely be many who will believe that there is only one way -- their way -- to solve the problem.

“Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., threatened to attach the immigration overhaul to bills naming a post office if it comes to that. “We are not giving up; we are not giving in,” said Sen. Edward Kennedy of Massachusetts, the top Democratic sponsor.”

I know that. Also, the slaves must be punished for daring to question their master’s actions.

My personal opinion is, the American people deserve everything the Democrats do to them because they made the Democrats the majority party in the ‘06 elections.

I’m Not Comfortable with th status quo. I want these Borders and Immigration law enforced. These Government officials are Not doing their constitutional duties that the took an oath to uphold.

They either do their jobs or they should be removed from office through an election or impeachment proceedings.
