80% of the votes for the bill were from Democrats.
85% of the votes that killed the bill were Republicans.
So of course the rabid Know Nothings, once again, IGNORE the Democrats to scream mindless bile at the GOP.
That way the idiot wing of the Conservative Movement can keep spending all their time helping the Democrats repeat in 2008 their win in 2006. Then the Know Nothings can sit around and whine when NEXT time they don’t have enough Conservative votes in the US Senate to fillbuster Amnesty
You people are your own worst enemies. You are so politically ignorant you are the Democrats BEST allies. You never EVER seem to grasp spending ALL your time sniping your own in the back only does ONE thing. Elect Democrats who will vote 100% of the time AGAINST you.
Frankly GET off our side! You people do NOTHING but help the Democrat Party propaganda machine. Just go JOIN them.
That is how Reagan felt about the “Know Nothings”.. He felt they helped the Rats more than the GOP... Thank you for telling the truth...
You are still being duped and you can’t see it.
The Pubbie Senate passed the monstrosity in 06.
The Dem Senate defeated it — twice — in 07.
Yet, the loudest voices FOR it were from some of the Republicans: Graham, Lott, Specter, McCain (sort of).
That is reality.
If that means we are better off under gridlick, I am all for it.
The monstrosity is not completely dead yet, however. The Bush Admin is continuing to push piece-part provisions by having them attached to other bills.
If there were a viable conservative party, the GOP would be in the dustbin of history, where it belongs.
I'm not on your side.
Moderate and liberal republicans are every bit as much my enemy as democrats.
This "you'll take what you get from us and like it because the only other choice is dems" ain't playing anymore.
The correct strategy is not to give a dime to the party until it changes its tune, but by all means, give money to individuals who stood against the bill. That's what I'm doing.
