Conservatives Get Ultimatum, GOP Pushed on Immigration
Roll Call ^ | June 13, 2007 | John Stanton

Posted on 06/13/2007 9:43:46 AM PDT by 3AngelaD

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, GOP lawmakers and aides said Tuesday...

...Senate conservatives have been warned by Republican leaders...

Should be the other way around. We want names!

Reid stated a few hours ago on the radio he’s not allowing anymore amendments and to take the bill as is. He wants 25 from the GOP to sign off on it or he’s not bringing it back.

Just off the phone with Senator Pete Dominici’s assistant at his DC office.
Expressed my opposition to the AMNESTY Bill and inquired how the call were swinging.
I asked if it was roughly 10 to 1 against the bill, and this fellow said “it’s a heck of a lot more than 10 to 1 against.”
No personal data asked but the pro/con is entered into a computer and the Senator “has developed no position and the bill is dead anyway”.
I discussed zombie movies and the horrors arizing from the grave, and we both chuckled. He agreed, but said the flow of incoming calls was “having some effect”.

All these Freeper comments need to be emailed and called into these traitors as well as the RNC in DC. I made my call yesterday. If you can’t get through, mix up the last four digits of the number and one of their arrogant staff will answer.

RNC-DC 202-863-8500

The DC traitors need to start looking for their private sector job as they will be gone.

Got it in one, but even more shameful that the South Carolina Weeping Pansy, Kyl, Martinez and McConnell are cooperating in this confidence trick with Reid and Kennedy. Here is the deal they’re offering: we’ll let you propose some amendments, which we will ensure are voted down, in exchange for you voting to invoke cloture to bring the bill back to the floor. How many of them will be stupid enough to buy this, or pretend like they’ve bought this so they can defy their constituents?

Never thought I would see the day when Dingy Harry would be my hero.
Regardless of his motivations if he kills this bill I will be a happy camper!

“later this year” when the Senate revisits the issue sounds good to me! Closer to the elections. More time for opposition to organize. Make sure you get involved in some way with FAIR or other organizations. Develop e-mail contact lists of opponents. Collect the appropriate numbers to call for easy e-mail. Fax and write on an ongoing basis to close down illegal entry to the country, enforce the laws against employers. Get involved in local politics so that you can organize locally . . . if we sit on our fannies they will sell the country down the river (across the river?). Basically, make them regret stirring “us” up.

Rush is effectively ending Lindsey Graham’s political career.

Senator Grahamnesty did it to himself.

Michael Savage is right, call them “Republicrats” or “Demicans”, they’re all one in the same.

More time for opposition to organize.

The longer the bill sits there the more it will resemble bad meat.

No, actually the Amnesty Bill for for Jeb’s son, “44” as Jorge likes to call him. The Bush presidential dynasty will continue, as soon as the old conservative base is replaced with the newly created “legal illegal mexican” voting base with a half-mexican Bush running for President.

Bush is tired of dealing with conservative Republicans - so he plans to replace the old base and import a new base to do the job that Republicans refuse to do - vote for his nephew, George P. Bush aka “44”.
