Which makes you wonder just what the Bills sponsors think they are accomplishing by keeping this fight going in the US Senate? To fracture the Republican party of course.

[Alas Babylon!]

Actually, I think it’s not dying because the powers-that-be like the cash they’re being offered by those big businesses who benefit from illegal labor. The senators know we’re outraged, so in the end, the revival attempt will fail. They know that, too. What they don’t know is just how outraged we are.

They think A), We’ll have forgotten and moved on come election day;
B) Enough new “citizens” will now vote for them, so they don’t need their base;
or C) They’re too stupid and insulated in DC by the DBM that they really think that we’re all a bunch of ignorant, racist yahoos and the majority won’t mind the 12-20 million new “citizens” who will keep us in cheap lettuce and well-manicured lawns.

Beyond that I’m bewildered. I am still a Bush supporter, believe it or not, as I am still glad we aren’t berating President Kerry or Gore, but the man is sorely trying my deep Republican roots.

Sometimes I wonder how in touch regular Americans are with politics, as compared to us FReepers. But believe me, I’ve heard an earful these past few weeks about how ticked EVERYONE is about any proposed amnesty and I think the DBM and entrenched Washington establishment are really missunderestimating our anger.
