Sen. Robert Menendez (D-N.J.) said Friday that the “Gang of Eight” immigration bill doesn’t have enough votes to pass the Senate.
The bill won approval from the Senate Judiciary Committee in a 13-5 vote, but Menendez said it lacks the 60 votes necessary to clear the Senate — despite the bill's four Republican co-sponsors.
“We don’t currently have 60 votes identified in the Senate,” Menendez said in an interview with Univision. “We need to add more votes on the floor. That means that the community in your state, in every state, should be contacting your state’s two U.S. Senators saying that they want comprehensive immigration reform, that they are going to judge their political future based on this vote.”

Possibly....but I suspect that that course of action might have the effect of having some “fence sitting” Representatives over in the House go down on the side of voting NO!
And no, that is not wishful thinking but my considered opinion. With the 2014 elections approaching, many folks in Congress are getting very skittish about being associated with anything that even hints at being associated with corruption. And Reid passing something using a bypass of traditional “regular order” has the smell of corruption to me.
The American people are gradually awakening from their slumber and are beginning to recognize the rampant corruption in Washington and to recognize who is engaging in it.

And that includes you, Marco Rubio....you jackass!
Someone needs to email Rush and tell him he is losing listeners because of those Rubio Amnesty commercials. we are not fooled and we know Facebook billionaire is behind those commercials.
Those are spot buys, in local markets -- not network buys on EIB. Consequently, Limbaugh has no control over them.
Nor should he.
They have broken the law everyday that they’ve been in power and they’re really going to pull out all the stops soon.
I agree wholeheartedly. These dems are going to be in full blown panic mode and will be grasping for any bit of destruction to our country that they can - even while their ship is going down.
