The purpose is not to “sink us”; the purpose is to replace the old conservative base with a new “obedient” peon base that will do what it is told. Conservatives are being thrown overboard by Jorge so his nephew, George P. Bush aka “44” can continue the Bushist dynasty. If you think “King George Bush II” is bad, just wait til you are stuck with the new “King George the Third” with the help of millions of legal illegal alien votes.
I had a bunch of old unspent pesos around the house that I sent.
True legal tender worth less than a penny a piece. Even that is more than they deserve.
As Newt Gingrich said, it’s blackmail.
G-d damn this phony “president.”
Since my two senators of Dumbocrats, I just sent emails urging opposition to Senators Kyl, Graham (no hope), McConnell, Cochrane, Allard, Coleman, and Corker.
George W. Bush - the president who sold the United States down the river. In a few hundred years, when the history books discuss the former United States, Bush will be identified as the primary contributor to the downfall of this once great nation.
Unless and until Compean and Ramos are completely exonerated (not just pardoned,) and those responsible for their unjust prosecution and conviction are themselves in Federal prison, there is no way any offer or promise to improve border security can be taken at all seriously.
Presidente Americano pasado
You’re forgiven. Sure hope they can come up with a good conservative candidate to challenge him in the primary next year. Too bad our boy Martinez doesn’t have to run soon.
Doesn’t any bill that proposes spending money have to originate in the House?
A single Senator can prevent the suggested amendments from being even debated. It requires unanimous consent to move forward with those amendments. To do otherwise would violate Senate rules. Someone like Sessions or Demint can raise an objection to the unanimous consent request and stop the amendment from being brought up for a vote. This is the same thing Sessions did before the last cloture vote which failed. It can be done again.
Irregardless of Senate procedure, the $4.4 billion in funds is just a sop to get conservative Senators to buy off the amnesty bill as a whole. That will not happen as long as the amnesty and guest worker portions of the bill remain intact. Besides, are there not funds in the current fiscal year’s appropriations to build the border fence and hire more agents. If so where’s the fence and the additional Border Control officers. Has ICE been expanded in the last 6+ years. Have we controlled the border? Have we stopped the hiring of illegal aliens? No, No and No. Stop this nonsense. Build the fence, fine the illegal alien employers and employees, secure the border and enforce the law, period. Will that actually happen, I doubt it but it is worth a try.
I hope they heard me today because I popped over to Cornyn’s Houston office at lunch (down the road from my job). I was armed with a yellowed letter from 1976 that President Ford wrote me when I was a Young Rep in college. I also brought an old picture of my dorm room door which had a Reagan sticker plastered on it (before the 76 primary). I told the deputy director that I was a member of the base that is being betrayed. I implored him to tell Senator Cornyn not to back down in spite of the threats and bullying and that if he says no, in spite of whatever happens, he will go down as a hero in the eyes of the American people. If a phone call is worth a thousand emails, I hope a personal visit was worth a thousand calls.
Where are the REAL American Senators. The True Patriots that BLIEVE in the Precious Land?
:We The Peiple” as our preamble starts say “NO” to this moronic piece of legislation.
I will be changing my FR ID because I’m NO LONGER “Bushman2”
Do You Care, George?
Hoping to avoid a visit by the Secret Service tonight.
Outstanding activity.
But I don’t like your screen name, “Rep No More.” It seems to contradict your claim to be part of the “base.” Sounds to me like you’re trying to have it both ways.
Pesos — heh, good one!
Wish they did too. Their spokesman sent a fax to be posted today but never came back. Thread has over 800 replies and some very good questions and ways to control illegal immigration.
If they read some of these threads, they would realize that a lot of us so disgusted by this have been long time Bush supporters but disagree with him completely on this. We are not a group that is always against the President — it has pained a lot of us to come out in open to finally say enough is enough. I am proud to stand with my Senator Jim Inhofe in opposing this bill. Senators Inhofe, Sessions, Coburn and others are right to oppose this bill IMHO.
nhofe, Sessions, DeMint and others are REAL heroes for not backing down on this.
Bingo! All talk but when the chips are down and they need to stand up for the American people, where were they?
