Live Thread: Senate Amnesty Debate (CRITICAL 2ND CLOTURE VOTE TODAY!) Woo hoo!! It's DEAD!!
The U.S. Senate with Free Republic Input | June 28, 2007 | truthkeeper

Posted on 06/28/2007 6:25:57 AM PDT by truthkeeper

Here we are again my friends, hopefully for the last debate thread on this particular monstrous legislation. Proceedings are supposed to begin at 9:30 a.m. EST, with the cloture vote being taken at 10:30 a.m.

On a personal note, you've all been wonderful in your passion, vigilance, and commitment to the principles on which our country was founded. If I have to be in a foxhole, I want to be in it with you guys.

On Washington Journal this AM....Senator Sessions said he had 10 minutes....

They are always working to trip him up!

>”I don’t know what to say to people who are against this bill.” <

How about starting with: “We have heard the voice of the people and will do our constitutional duty to represent the people by voting no”?

Like in baseball, we need some late-inning insurance runs.

If they can kill this thing again, they need to
wrap it in garlic,
drive a wooden stake through its heart,
pour salt on it,
burn it,
sprinkle holy water on the ashes,
place a silver cross on the ashes,
bury it in an unmarked grave,
and maybe it will stay dead this time.


Grinning! Really think it’s time to create action lists for physical protests on short notice around here. With this ramrod type of approach to legislation in the Senate need to be able to act very quickly.

Sadly, I have a mental image of Bush digging up a soggy garlic-wrapped box of salty ashes and trying to carry it, wooden stake, silver cross and all, over the finish line.

Sounds to me like the capital in Bush's political bank account is down to ZERO..

You're being generous...his account is overdrawn.

That’s the point! And, now he has the justification to vote “No” on cloture and if he does he will have been true to his word.

In fairness, no Senator is going to actually read any bill in its entirety.

Then maybe they should be careful not to bite off more than they can chew :)

I just called Thad Cochran’s office a minute ago. His office confirmed that he’ll vote against cloture. I told the nice lady who answered the phone that Sen. Cochran’s loyalty should be first to the American people and he should oppose Kennedy, Bush, and the illegal alien lobby.

Keep calling, folks.
