But, Tancredo will accept nothing but an enforcement bill. The Senate sent a clear signal that enforcement only is a non-starter.

The House passed their border security bill first. It is the Senate that is being the obstacle by passing an amnesty bill which is a non-starter. We have two equal houses in our Congress. The Senate does not tell the House what to do. The House passed what the people widely support. The Senate passed crap. The Senate needs to cut the crap and seriously consider the House bill. Any bill which includes any form of amnesty is already a non-starter and the Senate knew that. The Senate is the obstacle. Not the conservatives in the Senate, mind you, but the Clinton/Kennedy/McCain/Specter wing of the Senate. You know, the enemies of conservatives and of Free Republic. Yes, that part of the Senate. So, why are you kissing their butts, Deacon?

Exactly! The senate refuses to even consider anything other than their own bill and just declare themselves The Reasonable Ones. The illogic is staggering. The capper to the laughable Orwellian campaign is that republicans will lose at the polls if the house refuses to fall in line and pass a Let's-Pretend-It's-Not-Amnesty Bill. No, if they lose, it's because it got passed.
