I just had a frightening thought. What if we look back on the tenure of Jorge Busho and long for "the good old days?"
We're losing the battle.

Good point....I was thinking about the same thing as well. On amnesty, global warming, Gitmo, “education” for terrorists, and other left-wing causes, McCain is far, far worse.
Pres. Bush has his faults but those of us criticizing him might well end up yearning for the good old days before long.

Shuler is an enigma to me - staunchly pro-life, yet staunchly democrat. Not sure how he joins voting for Pelosi as speaker and trying to end abortion in his mind.

We're losing the battle. Yeah, fraid you're right.
After all the McCain betrayals, I was shocked to see that there's actually a cheering section for him on FR nowadays.

What if we look back on the tenure of Jorge Busho and long for "the good old days?" We're losing the battle. Then I would suggest to all that you get ready for the coming war.

Well IMO, you praising a person(Schuler) whose first vote in Congress is for nancy pelosi doesn't sound to rational to me. Most of your pro-illegal allies in the House voted for Pelosi. Now you seem to be dissing your own people. Or are you now claiming that on immigration issues that the representatives who voted against Pelosi are more "rational" than the reps who voted for Pelosi?

I don’t believe this story, because I can’t imagine that McCain would deny doing this if he did it — he’s not usually one to try to hide his actions.
If a republican comes forward and says McCain called them, I’ll reconsider it. It sounds though more like some republicans didn’t want to go on record supporting this bill, and decided to blame McCain for it.

Even if every republican in the House voted for it, there would still not be enough votes. Count ‘em!

Im not saying this isnt true, but remember, Shuler IS a Rat So is McCain. And we all know McCain's feelings about amnesty so he's not getting the benefit of the doubt around here.

Perhaps, but he's not above sophistry to describe his actions.
I don't know whether this story is true, false, or a misunderstanding. For example, it's possible that a McCain staffer did try to stop the bill. McCain's staff, with Juan "Immigrants steal social security numbers because they can't get legal documents" Hernandez, might have more like him.

If someone doesn’t believe it they should take it up with Congressman Shuler.

I doubt that McCain wanted any illegal alien crimmigration bills being talked about this year. He would just as soon folks forget that issue until he is president, and then next year he’ll be able to push through the worst legislation possible, early enough for most folks to have forgotten about it by 2012.

There are quite a few dems co sponsoring this bill. Shuler is a dem. They don’t need all the repubs.
181 signed the discharge petition.
