"Those reluctant Democrats who co-sponsored the bill but haven't signed the discharge petition have no reason to listen to any requests from Sen. John McCain, a Republican," Armor said in a released statement. "They have every incentive to listen to demands from Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, a Democrat."

I totally agree with your statement above and I wouldn't doubt for a moment that Pelosi would and has interfered and forced her house Rats to vote against this country's best interests on the immigration issue.

One three part question: do you know whether or not McCain has put pressure on house Republicans not to sign the discharge petition; ARE there house Republicans who supported the bill but won't sign the discharge petition; if so, why not IYO.

Thanks in advance for your illumination on this one.

Nancy Pelosi may have reason to block this bill: I’ve seen reports she uses “undocumented workers” to tend and harvest here multi-million dollar vineyards.

Gotta take good care of those Almoden grapes,you know.

No, I don't know whether McCain has discouraged House Republicans from signing the SAVE Act Discharge Petition. The main point, however, is that 48 Democrats co-sponsored the bill, but only nine (i believe) have signed the Discharge.

Since Speaker Pelosi can put direct pressure on those Democrats -- "No funding for YOUR projects" -- I don't think anything said by McCain would amount to a hill of beans. In short, Shuler was lying to the Hendersonville Rotary Club when he sought to put the blame on McCain.
