Jim Quinn of Quinn and Rose in the morning has a regular caller who is a Republican consultant. He reported this a.m. that the separate Senate Bill they have been talking about to fund the fence and other border security measures to try to mollify conservatives into thinking that the open borders crowd really intends to do something besides amnesty, is nothing but a big fat porker stuffed with every Senator's "wish list" of pork projects. They want the pork funding in a separate bill just in case the amnesty bill dies again and by calling it border security funding, most of the pseudo-conservatives can vote for it without taking flak from their constituents.
Aren't they clever? No end to how low they will go to try to fool us.

I am so furious about this. We are being governed by a group of dictators working in the backroom! I'm fed up. I've been calling and faxing senators this morning. I finally got through Brownback's phone, but Lott is taking faxes and neither is Cornyn. I can't through on any of Cornyn's phones either...they are busy or has a message to call back later, can't even leave a message.
I am furious, I can't state that enough.

Hopefully, we will lose the Sr. Senator from Texas. She is voting in line with the McPain bunch, and telling us it is against the bill - that we just don’t understand.
I keep telling the talking heads on her phones that if she were above board and honest, it would be refreshing, and we would understand.

How can we stop this nonsense? Already, Lott’s comments have leaked out and I would think could poison all this. We need to hit the phones of those who think they can vote an amendment they already know will be stripped out in conference.

Time for Lott to go.
Time for the WHOLE LOT(t) to go!

This is despite the fact that the conservative leaders of the anti-amnesty movement are refusing to cooperate, and won't give Mitch McConnell a list of amendments that they want considered. My source tells me that the reason for this is that the game has now been rigged. McConnell is essentially promising to bring the amendments up in exchange for cloture votes, but he's publicly saying that they will strip any problematic amendments out in committee. In other words, if the bill gets through the Senate and the House, the Democrats and the open borders Republicans will work together when the bills have to be reconciled in committee to strip out any amendments that the "grand bargainers" don't like.
Why are you all ignoring Mitch McConnell's role in all this? I've been saying it for days. He's (surprisingly) one of the BAD guys. If Lott needs to go, so does McConnell.

If they’ve decided to include the funding in the Bill as an amendment instead of as emergency funding in a separate Bill, then they already have the votes to pass the thing and we are wasting our time. It’s a done deal.

I agree with your assessment. If this bill passes, voting, from that point, is almost a moot point, something merely to amuse us, but will mean very little.

Dial a digit or two up and down from the last four, you may get another phone in their offices. IE last four are 4335, dial 4336, 7 and 8 then try 4334, 3, and 2

The Founding Fathers must be crying at what these mediocre clowns have done to that beautifully-designed democracy.
To: Badeye
I asked my source to speculate on why Lott was pushing so hard, and he said that Lott may be naive enough to think that this bill might help John McCains presidential campaign. My God he is a moron if he doesn't see that McCain's campaign is already over. Add this abortion of an amnesty bill to CFR and it's DEAD!
Check out Lott's address in the Senate last week and his shameless sucking up to Kennedy and your blood will really boil. Here:Vacant Lott

Fred Barnes, give me a break, who cares what that idiot thinks? We're going to destroy the country because Fred Barnes with an IQ of 80 might not say nice things about us. That is so naive that none of these clowns have any business being in government if that's how they operate.
