“Is Bush mentally ill or evil?”
If you ask me... I think this is a family favor to Jeb’s Latino wife.
Just a guess.
Much the same way that the Harriet Meiers nomination was a favor to Laura.

Bush and the republican leadership are suicidal. The bad news is they will be taking the rest of the country with them. Suicidal? No. They are calculating and devious. From the ashes of the USA, they plan build a North American Union.

Senate conservatives have been warned by Republican leaders that they must either accept a series of largely symbolic floor votes on a handful of amendments to the immigration reform legislation or see themselves shut out of the process altogether when the chamber resumes work on the bill later this year Sounds tough, but is it a promise or a threat?
If I were a Senator, I would be glad to be seen as having no part in putting together this horrible legislation.

Whether the conservatives opposed to cloture can be shut out of participating in the process of producing a bill or not, there are still Senators on the other side of the aisle who oppose the bill in its present form due to the ‘guest worker’ portions of the bill opposed by the AFL-CIO. There happens to be at least one member of the group opposed to cloture who knows full well how the Senate can be tied up in knots with arcane parliamentary procedures, i. e., democrat Senator Byrd of West Virginia. Unless the ‘guest workers’ of the bill can somehow be removed from the bill it is going no where. In return, the Pubbies, at least the rinos, will not let go of the additional visa quotas that are part of the bill, including the new Z visas for illegals currently residing in the country. Therefore the impasse will continue. As a backstop, even if the Senate should miraculously pass a bill close to what it is now, there is much more opposition on both sides of the aisle in the House to such a proposal, and it thus die on the vine there as well.

The Conservatives need to start *giving* some ultimatums.

I am beginning to wonder, truly, if there is not something wrong with him.
Maybe the years of the most vicious, abusive attacks on a president in the memory of the Republic have taken their toll.
Maybe there really is something wrong -— like Alzheimers. Seriously. It just seems to very unlike him! Not the president I voted for.
Surely he has not even read this provisions of this bill?

I believe I would like to see a very accurate list of names of these all-powerful "Republican leaders." They may have just tripped a few triggers.

"If I were a Senator, I would be glad to be seen as having no part in putting together this horrible legislation."
One of my senators, Jeff Sessions, is in fact making his name nationally right now by fighting this monstrosity tooth and nail.

The Conservatives need to start *giving* some ultimatums. They should give some ultimatums of their own. This legislation is rotten to the core and nobody wants it except for a select few so why not tell the leadership to either dump it or we'll find new leaders? It only takes 25 votes to put in new ones.
To: 3AngelaD
Sounds like the deal is that Dirty Harry lets the republicans propose some amendments that will lose in return they will let allow an up or down vote on the POS Amnesty bill after Labor Day.

Maybe they should caucus with the independents like Lieberman. That would get McConnell and Lott to think twice.
