BEWARE of an aroused citizenry. It's an admonition that should be ingrained in the brain of any run-of-the-mill politician, let alone someone who has ascended to the United States Senate. But from the Olympian heights of the world's greatest deliberative body, it is often forgotten. So senators got a reminder in the humiliating defeat of a "comprehensive" immigration bill that had the support of the president of the United States, a bipartisan group of senators with the blessing of the leaders of their caucuses and the support of the editorial boards of the country's most important newspapers.

Has Spector had brain surgery or is that just his hairline ?
Look for them to go after regulating the Internet, because that is what now drives politics, NOT talk radio!
“Mississippi Republican Trent Lott rued that talk radio was “running the country.” Ohio Republican Sen. George Voinovich went on the Sean Hannity radio show and complained that he was being “intimidated” because people were calling his office opposing the bill.”
What a couple of a$$es, they define the word, and these are “conservatives”.
K.I.S.S.-KEEPING IT SIMPLE SENATOR
WHERE THERE IS NO FENCE
THERE IS NO ENFORCEMENT
THERE IS NO IMMIGRATION REFORM
AND THERE IS NO RE-ELECTION
I can’t wait to tell some of these senators and congressman they’re going to be replaced by illegals making three dollars a day.
It’s time to vote them OUT.
LET’S TAKE AMERICA BACK
The calls made a difference!
Indeed - I believe that we need to get aroused a bit more often
NO, WE NEED TO STAY AROUSED. THEY WILL TRY AGAIN. THEY ARE OWNED BY BIG BUSINESS.
WE HAVE A BUSINESS IN ARIZONA WHO ADVERTISED ON TV THAT THEY HIRE ONLY LEGAL AMERICAN RESIDENTS. THIS WILL GOR. PATRONIZE THEM.
I was ambivalent BEFORE the parades and protestors waving their MEXICAN FLAGS in our faces!!! That was the last straw!
Prescious Pic.
Nice addition.
Yeah, that was a real BRIGHT idea of theirs...........
We felled the unprecedented Amnesty Bill in such a way, that it can only be compared to how that guy speared a record 93 pound sea bass.

I think it should be against the law for the congress critters to turn off phones or fax machines or not empty their voice mail.
WE paid for that stuff!!
I heard Toomey on the radio this week. He supported the amnesty bill.
Tells you something about Fox News, doesn't it?
There was a thread about a week ago complaining about how tabloid Fox had gotten and blaming the public because they want that garbage and watch it. IF that is the case, how does Fox explain a 22% loss of viewers since they turned into the on air "Inquirer?" Fox is rapidly becoming like SeeBS, NBC, and ABC without the leftwing propaganda. Just ignore it if it doesn't suit our agenda and to heck with our ratings.
WRONG!!!! The Right won nothing; the Left won nothing; the Elite won nothing; the Illegals won nothing. This was a small temporary victory for the people who have caught on that both parties oppose them.
