Are there enough conservatives left to filibuster this?
The senate voted 62-36 for that bloated horrific immigration bill that specter created.
There were only 36 votes for stopping it I think 32 were republicans.
You would need 40 votes for a filibuster.
And you know the dems will push this.
I disagree with the people saying the dems won't push this to protect their candidates.
The dems will push this because they see this as taking an issue away from the conservatives.
The dems know by passing this it will demoralize the gop base for 08.
60 percent at least of the public doesn't want amnesty. The voters weren't voting about amnesty during the election but they can't stand it. Even dem blue collar voters don't like it but the dem politicians do.
Why the gop didn't run on this more is beyond me. They kept talking about taxes not stopping pelosi from her amnesty agenda.
What is really troubling is I don't see a way to stop this now.
Conservatives in the senate need to not leave the floor a true filibuster and not let the bill proceed.
Tancredo was bashing the party without thinking that it might bring it down and leave us in a impossible position.
I hope pence and tancredo are thinking up a way to block this.
