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.

Demacrap, crap...COURTROOM THEATRICS FOR A LOW RENT JURY, GRAHAM

[Petronski]

Watching him, a phrase leaps to mind: “gerbil on crack.”

[rjp2005]

Help! What number is taking calls - trying to get our Florida guys on the horn.

[Greg F]

DeMint is awesome.. he should resign his seat, then run against Graham in the primary..then Sanford can appoint a conservative to fill Graham’s seat.

Lindsay is on full meltdown...

[Eric in the Ozarks]

So he was for the amnesty before he was against it ? One John Kerry in the senate is enough.

[romanesq]

Just left a message in Gulfport but I doubt the fine people of this state are not burning up the Washington line. They are.

[angkor]

THIS MAN IS A DISGRACE!

[JFC]

Graham is PLAYING for the camera!!!

[manonfire]

Someone out there should start investigating bank accounts of some of these sellouts starting with this dirt ball(graham))

[TornadoAlley3]

I wish he would stand still, hurts my eyes.

[LachlanMinnesota]

I wonder if this immegration bill is the price Bush must pay to get authority to go to war with Iran...

That assumes that the President has the best possible motives...

[indcons]

Grahamnesty is grandstanding before the Dims on the floor. Asking them to raise hands....moron.

I grew up just outside of Chattanooga in Ringgold.

[Guenevere]

Graham GRANDSTANDING!!!!......He’s jumping & gesticulating all over the place!

May 4, 2007 | Lindsay Graham to La Raza:
Access to 5:50 min video, here (Graham says it at ~5:46):

“The answer to solving the immigration problem is
to focus on what it means to be an American.
That’s the key to this problem. An American is an idea.
No one group owns being an American. Nobody owns this.
It’s an idea that’s unique to this planet......”

"We’re gonna tell the bigots to shut up”

[don-o]

That is why nothing ever changes at the state department and that is why nothing ever changes no matter which party is in charge.

You are correct.

Here's an idea: For every law that is passed, two other laws must be repealed.

[Cedric]

If this dreadful bill dies today, is anyone going to give Republicans the credit for killing it?

[over3Owithabrain]

Shhhh - I agree JA - I just don’t want to tip my hand until the votes are over on this issue. We need his vote right now! We’ll deal with his treachery later...

Lindsey Graham: To solve the problem of people speeding on the roads? = Remove the speed limit.
