You Can't Stay on the Fence About Immigration

YOU CAN'T STAY ON THE FENCE ABOUT IMMIGRATION

The bitter battle over the immigration bill has become a legislative minefield in this election year, though it's still unclear whether November will see any heavy political fallout as a result.

To put it mildly, this issue is a thorny wilderness, festering intra-party divisions and brewing voter backlashes. It could inflict additional wounds on George W. Bush's battle-scarred presidency, shrink the GOP's congressional Republican majority and, possibly, hurt some vulnerable Democrats.

Let's slice up some of these pitfalls.

"We have room for but one flag, the American flag...
We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...
And we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."

"No Ketuckian would ever bet on any filly with thick ankles."

You're exactly right! That's why I won't be supporting Hillary "Thunder Thighs" Clinton.

Very Wise Editorial!

That arrangement has been reinforced by the "Hastert doctrine," the policy formally enunciated by House Speaker J. Dennis Hastert that he will bring to the floor only bills that are supported by the majority of the Republican caucus. Because of that policy, bipartisan coalitions have become rarities in the House.

Immigration bill far from settled- Congressional history is rich with examples of strong-willed senators and representatives battling fiercely over the final terms of legislation. Since 1995, when Republicans took control of both sides of the Capitol, the negotiating sessions often have been confined to GOP senators and representatives, with the Democrats locked out along with the press

Me, too.. though Flake more than Franks, I think Franks is a weak sister who follows Flake more often than not. JD has a worse rating (than Flake) but lately has been more vocal..... not sure, but it seems what he's saying isn't computing with his numbers... and I was thinking he would be a good congressman to encourage to run against McCain in four years.

Guess I should have read a little deeper before my prior post... so JD is talking a good game and knowing few will look at the actual votes doing the opposite??? I hope people in his district forcefully bring that to his attention.

We flat need new blood everywhere. I'm very worried that Hastert is being squeezed and we're going to be s@rewed in the process. Rush was incensed on Friday, wonder if he'll put more pressure on this week?

Did you see the comment Tony Snow made in his news conference?

UNINFORMED, DISINTERESTED, BRAINWASHED & SPECIAL INTEREST VOTERS


GOP faithful simply cannot understand why George Bush is against English as our national language: “I support English-plus, not English-only,” said Bush.

It's very clear to anyone who isn't blinded by party loyalty that Bush doesn't believe in America as a sovereign nation. Simply put, he's a globalist whose allegiance is to a one world body.
