Bush, Senators to Meet on Immigration - President Making Rare Trip to Hill

Dear Mr. President,

You obviously love your buddy Ted Kennedy more than conservatives.

So why don’t you and Teddy take the nearest Oldsmobile and drive off into the sunset together?

Bush will go to the Hill with fist-full of taxpayer's money to persuade.....er bribe.....the Senators that oppose the bill.
He'll find the weak backbones and promise them anything to sway the vote.
I'm depressed!

[GailA]

I called both Bob Corker and Lamar Alexaner (TN) today, thanking them for their no vote, and that I continue to oppose any form of amnesty. Lamar is the one who needs the most leaning on, he was leaning toward the bill. Corker is a NO vote.

Anyone besides me see the irony here?

What else in the last 5 years has El Presidente Jorge wanted so bad that he would do this? John Bolton? Anything?

He wouldn’t do this for anything.....EXCEPT to sell us out and legalize the Mexican invaders and invite another 50 million of the same. Un farking believable.

My house rep Ron Lewis (KY) is having someone in his office come in to New Haven tomorrow to listen to our opinions. He has already sent me a letter that politely shreds this amnesty bill in the Senate. Well, I’m going to take off tomorrow afternoon and go over to get my 2 cents in again.

Here is a thought for all of you that think we are “Bush Bashers” for the fun of it. Suppose 1/2 million of us take to the streets and behave like the illegals did recently. Do any of you think the authorities would tell the cops to let us do what we damn well please? How many of us would be arrested?

Right. A lot more than the illegals they arrested. So, what is your citizenship worth?

[bannie]

He didn’t listen.

“”They claim we will have “status quo”—””

---

Status quo = another immigration bill they won’t enforce.

The only reason GW was narrowly elected in 2000, was his partnership with Cheney! That selection gave him the approval of true conservatives by proxy!

IMHO, that is why Cheney refuses to run for the presidency, because Bush encouraged him to become the 800 lb gorilla for the MSM to beat up on!

Cheney was always the true conservative in this administration, and Cheney's refusal to follow through to election, is his way of saying"Screw Bush!"

[yorkie]

No, it’s NOT over! When President Bush has lunch with these Senators today, how is he going to put the ‘Fear’ into them, to encourage them to vote *for* this Illegal Immigration Bill? What is he going to ‘offer’?

This is what scares me.

EVERYONE KEEP CALLING OR WRITING!! They think we’ve gone back to sleep and are watching Paris Hilton, sports, etc.. Get with everyone you know and give them the phone numbers!!

If it walks like a lame duck, and quacks like a lame duck, it’s a lame duck.

Hey, that gives me an idea for a new tagline!
