The libs WILL GO AFTER FREE SPEECH RIGHTS AND TALK RADIO.

You are 100% correct, just sit back and watch the reaction, how dare the people try to voice their opinion, within the next 6 years you will be able to watch our country move from democracy to facism, just that quickly, it's happening.

Kyl (R-AZ)

It is sad, really, that Senator Jon Kyl has gone from stalwart conservative Republican Senator to supporting this amnesty crap. He has really pissed off a great number of Republicans in Arizona over this and he will feel the heat when he runs for re-election. What's more sad is that Republicans in Arizona mostly detest McCain, but we can't get rid of him. But Kyl may be one that we can get rid of and, despite his support of this amnesty garbage this time around, he's far better than McCain ever was.

Yes... I thought I would never have uttered the words that “I’m glad McCaskill is/was on our side on this issue..” but it happened.. As a resident of the Show-Me State, I am disappointed at Bond’s performance on this issue.

Yeah, looks like we turned a few of them around. Kyl is a big disappointment though.

The other story behind those numbers is that a substantial portion of the Republican Party is perfectly content to pitch George W. Bush overboard before he leaves office.

Or not enough are willing to follow him off the plank when he walks off the boat with a few of his friends.

I’m concerned about Bennett. Both C-Span and Michelle Malkin have Bennett voting FOR cloture, not against. What is the truth?

My husband believes the Republicans that voted for it did so because they are afraid a more liberal bill will be made and passed. That they were trying to nail down the most conservative approach to this whole thing.Kinda like England giving up Czechoslovakia to Germans in 1939? Strategic surrender in the face of an overwhelming enemy.

You are, of course, also speaking about Brownback...the next “ex-candidate” for Prez.

Looks like some deaf RINOs finally pulled out their earplugs. Then again, they’re probably just running for cover for fear of the next election.

The worst of the bunch is Graham. This guy is the most untrusted GOP Republican out there that simply looks at McCain and Hagel for direction. This guy needs to be defeated in SC next year in the primary.

Voinovich was on Sean Hannity’s radio show and Voinovich removed all doubt of his own ignorance on illegal immigration. He wilted from the questions fired at him by Hannity. He also told, Hannity he would never had come on the show if he knew it was going to be like that. This man is a coward and cannot defend his convictions.

He was asked about the fairness doctrine and said, that he thought fairness was good. I cannot believe this ignoramus is a senator. He is clueless about what is going on. What does he do in DC attend parties?

The Senate site lists Craig (RINO-ID) as having voted for cloture.... He needs retired too, if that ain’t a typo.

I know nothing further about her. A brief scan of her Issues page reveals some decent positions (support for Israel was one), but I try not to take Democrats at their word.

‘The worst of the bunch is Graham.’

Yep, he’s the GOP’s version of the Breck Girl, Johnny Edwards.

Uh oh, I’ll probably get an angry email from his overbearing wife now.....(chuckle)
