85% of the votes AGAINST the Immigration bill came from Republicans.

80% of the votes FOR the Immigration bill came from Democrats

Suppose you all could remember who the real enemy is ONE time instead of spending ALL your time fragging your own side?

And then you people spend year after year after year whining about how you cannot get anything done in politics! Gee no wonder why.

Why should people in DC do anything FOR any of you. All you even do is bitch and whine. Gee sorry nothing in life is 100% perfect. Not even in politics. Get over it.

Hi MNJ. The thread topic is the president, not the Congress, but you may have just helped point out why their approval rating is even lower than the president’s abysmal rating.
But back on topic, the issue was dead until our national cheerleader resurrected it.

You’re right, the Democrats are the primary supporters. But they are completely on-board and are not going to change their votes; they probably don’t even have any meaningful pressure to change their votes.

However, the Democrats don’t have the votes to get this travesty out of cloture. Only if some ‘Pubbies help can they get it to the floor for a vote - where the Democrats DO have enough votes to pass it.

To make it worse, a bunch of ‘Pubbie leadership types (Lott, McInsane, etc.) are supporting this abortion, fighting their constituents tooth and nail, and the ‘Pubbie President CAN’T WAIT to sign it...

So guess who gets the credit/blame, if it is passed?

In the meantime we’re gonna pound our ‘Pubbie Senators until they understand its a potential “career-altering decision” if they support this bill.

Tell me seriously,if a relative took a rifle and shot you dead,are you any LESS dead because you were related to the person? If certain Republican politicians are trying to pass legislation that a citizen believes will be harmful to our country are we not entitled or maybe even obligated to speak out against it and by extension the politician who’s pushing it? If I understand correctly Free Republic is a discussion,debate and occasionally argument forum and that’s why I come here.Not just to hold hands with everybody and sing Kum by yaa !!!

Counting primaries, I’ve voted for Bush 8 times.

I’ll support those who vote against the Amnesty bill.

For the last 6 years I’ve defended President Bush on the War and all kinds of things & how does he thank me & the Republican Conservative Base? By labeling us a bunch of bigots. I will not take up for him another time, period. If he want’s to win back our support he needs to quit trying to give our F***ing country away to a bunch of law breakers. My wife works with a girl from the Phillipines (a skilled worker as is her husband) and she has paid through the nose over the last 5 years and her husband can’t get a damn green card while these yahoo’s are going to be granted work permits overnight. Thats B.S. George Bush needs to have a Coke & a Smile & shut the F*** up!

And the number one proponent of this illegal immigration invasion amnesty is President Bush. I suppose it would not be too difficult for a rational, analytical person to figure out who was the real enemy is , and who is not what he pretends to be.

Get over the amnesty bill ? Get over the loss of sovereignty with LOST, SPP and the NAU ?

You need to decide whether the man is more important than the Constitution.

Does it occur to you that Bush is *not* on our side when he is aligned with 80% of Senate *Democrats*?

What's wrong with this picture, Johnnie? You seem to be one of the few who just don't get it.

I don’t know who you are talking about, but it ain’t me.

And the main one doing the whining around here is...YOU.

So why is President Bush for it?
