“It’s going to be a rough ride,” said Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Pa., an architect of the bill. “We’re in trench warfare.”

To compare the shenanigans these corrupt swine engage in to the dangerous, selfless, heroic acts our troops are engaged in this very moment shows how far gone our 'leaders' are. Out with all of them. They aren't even fit to be citizens.

Is she kidding? THE key issue? I think it is granting legal status to millions of people immediately, not some return-home deal.

She's a moron and RINO.

It is the key issue in the bill for KBH and the other traitorous Republicans. The American people see the amendment for the fraud that it is.
It is a feel good, justification amendment so that SOME Republicans could cya.
They all make me sick.

"The process has not been a pretty one," said Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala.

God bless him. I know he's doing his best. That's not the simile I would have used, but he is a politician still.

Conservatives call the measure too lenient toward unlawful immigrants, while liberals say it could rip apart families and doom guest workers to exploitation at the hands of unscrupulous employers.

No one asked them to come here to begin with...It is Mexico’s problem about unemployment in their country ,not ours!

As I have said all along, the fix is in on this bill. Outside of a very few Senators that are genuinely against this sell out, the rest are all lying and posturing. This bill was and is a done deal, at least in the Senate. Mitch McConnell (Weasel, KY) could have thrown up procedural roadblocks, I believe. The coward couldn’t dredge up the nads to oppose the bill. His mealy mouthed excuse that he had to “listen to the debate” is just so much chicken crap. Anyone with half a brain knows that no amount of amendments can fix this Amnesty Sellout. Anyone with 1/4 brain knows that the way this is being run through is proof in itself that this is a royal screw job to this country. Ipso facto, this is proof that these Senators (and Mr. Bush) pushing this bill are traitorous scum. IMO, street walkers are morally superior to these low lifes.

If FReeper Jorge is reading this, remember, I stand by my desire to tar & feather Bush and his traitorous compatriots in the Senate. Strip them naked then tar & feather them and run their sleazy butts down Pennsylvania Avenue at high noon.

It is high time for some serious civil disobedience in this country.

Sent this to Sen Webb’s CoS... As Jim Webb is a Marine Vietnam vet, maybe he remembers something called “honor” and will be responsive.

“I recall when your boss was an author of a VERY good book on his experiences as a Marine infantry officer in Vietnam. As a retired Marine and Vietnam veteran also, I recall serving under him when he was President Reagan’s Navy Secretary. Now he’s a Senator from a most renowned state, Virginia, where my son lives and works as a fireman and where many of my siblings and nieces/nephews also call home.

I ask that you point out to him that his NO vote on this abominable bill will be appreciated far more widely than just Virginia. He will be helping to stop legislation that has the serious potential to sunder the very fabric of the American society. As the husband of a lawful immigrant who helped my wife jump through all the INS/CIS hoops and going through the same for my stepson, I am outraged that so many people in the US Senate are so willing to allow millions of scofflaws to jump right to the head of the LEGAL immigration line and thumb their noses at those who wanted so much to come to this country and be able to live here LEGALLY and properly they spent many dollars and untold hours and weeks and months filling out the proper forms and going through all the right motions to do things the RIGHT way. Senator Webb could be a MAJOR factor in bringing some sanity back into our immigration discussion by his NO vote when the cloture question is brought up again.

Very truly

All Rove's plan. Get the American people riled up about an issue. The Dims will vote for the the bill, and the Republicans will step up at the last minute and vote it down. Dims will lose next election because of this fiasco. RINOS will be voted out of office. Goodbye Lindsay!! Rove is a genius........
