No, I dont think you get the whole point of the cobbled together mess.
First, the core part of the bill was the amnesty. The rest of the bill was a GARNISH on the main meal of amnesty.
Amnesty is to the liberal Democrats like Durbin and Kennedy the ‘solution’. We know it is a surrender not a solution.
To them, the wall and the enforcement is just a bunch of provisions on the side to make the conservatives happy. Supposedly. You see, it was going to be Bush’s job to convince us yokels that
“this was the best deal we could get” and
“ the border gets secured” etc. etc.
THIS IS THE KIND OF BILL SENATOR KENNEDY WRITES ALL THE TIME!!!
It’s only now, in the internet age, that we the people can review and respond to his cr*P before it becomes law.
WE HAD THE POWER TO REVIEW THE TEXT, point out the crap and make our own independent conclusions about the bill.
Just as the internet-and-radio-based New Media created an unfiltered news source that allows us to know what is *really* going on;
We have a New Politics, unfiltered by our own leaders, thanks to the power of blogs and forums like FR.
DO NOT ASSUME THESE LEADERS ARE VERY SMART WHEN IN THE END THEY ALL (BUSH, KENNEDY, MCCAIN, GRAHAM, REID, DURBIN, CLINTON, SPECTER, KYL) LOOKED VERY FOOLISH.
These guys didnt know what hit them.
Jesus Christ, you soreheads. WE WON.
If this comes up again, hold his feet to the fire again. In the meantime, TAKE YES FOR AN ANSWER. In fact, call the senator’s office and thank him for his vote.
