We don't get fooled again...

“Sellout.” It may be harsh, but it’s the most accurate and succinct way to sum up how conservatives feel right now about President Bush and Senate Republicans, who have cut a deal that would grant amnesty to the estimated 12 million illegal aliens living in the U.S. — not to mention the parents, spouses, and children of these illegals.
Title VI of a draft copy of the bill breaks down amnesty visas into three categories:
Z-1 — Illegal aliens present and working in the United States up to Jan. 1, 2007. Z-2 — Parents and spouses of illegal aliens qualifying under the Z-1 category. Z-3 — Children of illegal aliens qualifying under the Z-1 category.
These “Z Visa” holders can stay in the “Z” status indefinitely, which means they never have to pursue “a pathway to citizenship.” They also would be able to get Social Security numbers and benefit from some welfare programs. Shockingly, there is no cap on the numbers of amnesty recipients in the draft language. The only thing the Z Visa holder can’t do is vote — until, that is, a liberal judge declares this limitation unconstitutional or until a liberal president can railroad through a “technical corrections” bill.

They all make me sick. If this goes through, the pubs have lost me forever.
How about treating US Citizens with some respect? Those supporting this sham immigration bill show nothing but disrespect and animosity for their constituents. All of these arrogant elitists should be thrown out of office.
um.. They can’t make use of their resources. They are poor for a reason. Think about it.
CALL THE SENATE FRIDAY - burn up the lines.
Your Senators - even if they are Dims!
Plus Republican leaders - Mitch McConnell, Jon Kyl, Jeff Sessions, John Cornyn - all of whom have been against illegal immigration in the past, and are leading efforts now - let them know you want them to hold firm.
And don’t forget McCain - give him an earful.

If Bush gets impeached I wouldn't care. I just don't care anymore. He is a stranger to me now.
Yes, keep on contacting and express your oposition.
Since the Democrats got what they wanted they will never lead the impeachment process.
Leadership:
The tragedy of this entire thing is that we conservatives have no leadership to stave off the sellout.
There has been lots of lip service from Trancrado and others. But NO leadership. No one waving the American flag. The illegals, particularly the Mexicans, have better leadership from our own left.
The Republicans are snoozing because they have been bought. Consequently, because of the backlash, they will be snoozed right out of office. But it will be too late.
I am sitting here in front of my computer in Panama. What can I do? Nothing. I can’t. This is up to someone with the qualities of leadership in the US of A; but to this day, nobody in power and visibility (leadership) has taken up the flag. It has been nothing but all yammer before TV cameras. Like the Venezuelans, they had no leadership to dump Chavez. It was all yammer. We have the same situation.
And this is where Hillary may very well win.
Everybody who has the ability and power to save our constitutional form of government is sitting on their fat monied asses. If this thing passes, although it is against our Constitution, many of these crooks are going to be voted out of office. Much, much too late, though. Our constitution will have been something of the past.
To quote George Bush: After all, the Constitution is just “a goddamned piece of paper.”
Sending e-mails to our crooked representatives might as well be sent by hot air balloons. No one is going to give us the time to day. Too many of these crooks have been bought.
Waiting to vote these crooks out of office in 2008 will be too late. Things have to happen NOW!!! Not tomorrow.
We need a leader to pick up our flag and lead us en masse.
We don't get fooled again...
I called mine first thing this morning. Thet’re both against this amnesty bill.
How can it be stopped?
I know personally what legal immigrants think about this. A woman from Brazil got a job sponsor and a work Visa last year with a green card to immigrate. Cost only $3000 and less time because she had a Visa so she could vacation here twice a year already.
She's pissed at this crap like the half of her family and friends already here. These are upper income people that own businesses or have professions - natural Republicans. Where are they going to go now?
We can thank Bush for Arlen Specter. He was almost gone until Bush started running ads for him.
Back to the ballot box to throw all these traitors and worthless scum out of office.
I just paid a bunch of money to go to a fundraiser with the President-I am seriously thinking about asking for my $ back.
I can only wonder how our troops in Iraq and in other theatres of operation throughout the world are feeling about this, watching millions of illegals (and potential terrorists) receive amnesty from their Commander In Chief in partnership with the defeatist ‘Rats who have been seeking to cut off funding and stab them in the back?
I would not blame a one of them for thinking OR saying ‘is this what we’re fighting for? a diluted and polluted America filled with illegal immigrants, criminals, rapists, robbers, mental defectives and stealth terrorists?’
The America they eventually return to may be nothing like the America they left when they began their tours of duty, and that is disgraceful.
God Bless Our Troops.
“Back to the ballot box to throw all these traitors and worthless scum out of office.”
It will be far too late then. Action has to be taken NOW!!! Today!!! Not a minute sooner.
Amen!
This “Sellout” has the effect of electing a liberal democrat for sure in ‘08!
Republicans should threaten to give Democrats the cover to lead the impeachment process right now and in front. Dem wackos want Bush hanged!
