CSPAN | 6/7/07 | Freespirited

[freespirited]

Tonight's cloture motion has just gone down to defeat. No where near the 60 yea votes needed to cut off debate.

Harry now pontificating on Senate floor.

[LiveFreeOrDie2001]

A Yea: Klobuchar (D-MN)

Calls or E-Mails tomorrow !!!!!!

[Enterprise]

Ha ha. (Sheepishly admitting it’s true)

[kcar]

So Brownback is running for POTUS and didn’t even vote?

[BlackbirdSST]

An answer to my prayers that God would continue to bless America and protect us from the out-of-control immigration policies imposed by the elites.

Well, if you believe it had that kind of impact, kick it into overdrive. BTW, next time, just for grins and giggles, mention the WALL! Thanks in advance. Blackbird.

[processing please hold]

Need you ask?

No, just seemed polite to do so.

Now that the issue is hot and they have lost our side needs to punch back. Time to move on the border fence....now.

Exactly. And HOLD grudges - against President Bush, McCain, Kennedy, et. all. Hold grudges against those who wanted this national security and sovereignty disaster, this utter disrespect for the rule of law.

If we don't beat them back into the minority, they'll be back again with more of the 'mushy middle' brand of treason.

The only starting point, the only point of action right now, is securing the border and discouraging illegal immigration. In 5-10 years we could have a fully secure southern border. If leaks develop in the northern - we plug those. THEN we start talking about the illegals already here. I prefer a deportation process over 5-10 years.

Here's an idea: If we don't have the stomach for deportation, how's this for a 'humane' deportation: For every illegal that is deported, we move the line up by one person, allowing a skilled legal immigrant from anywhere in the world to come in. Basically, increase the amount of spots available in the lottery by the amount of deportees. That's the only kind of compromise I'd accept.

The DC crowd would do well to pay attention to that flag...

Otherwise they mite see the second one...

FYI : that’s Black Beard the Pirate’s “Surrender or Die”
flag,,,AKA “Time is running out”...;0)

[popdonnelly]

Well, there were eight Dems who voted against closure. Very interesting.

[LibertyRocks]

Thank you! I’ll sure try. (o:

[NoGrayZone]

I normally do not hold grudges, but I will definitely make an exception this time!!!

[Texas Songwriter]

You know, I have yet to have it explained to me why Bush pushed this bill. How does it serve the national interest (not employers interest). Why are we wrong in a country in excess of 300 million to import the poorest, the least educated, and the poorest trained, impoverised portion of a very poor nation? Neither Bush nor any pro illegal immigration partisan even tried to educate me on this issue. What was self evident could not be refuted.....so we are called bigots, said that we don't want what is best for this country.....all ad hominem attacks.....but the case for their being for this country importing maybe 40 to 50 million was....the job is too hard to administered the codified federal laws. We cannot deport 12 million....We will not even try to administer the law.

And we are supposed to get in line because Bush calls us names....the very people who were activist and put him into office......

Mr.Bush next time you want to sell your bill, whatever it is, take a little time and discuss it clearly and openly with your base rather than try to run rough-shod over our backs. We are not mindless robots. Get used to it.

Well little Lindsy voted against cloture. You guys must have kicked his A$$. WELL DONE!

My two senate critters split. Lahey for Sanders against. Lahey is hopeless. Sanders office sounded beaten when I called them last week. Probably couldn't’t figure out how to give away more of America.

[veracious]

That pic is symbolic of a relationship between what should be day and night. Unlike most days, this one likes the nights. They failed in their common goal:

Nice.

[NoGrayZone]

My little critters are hopeless, schmuckie and hitlery. A lose/lose situation!

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

So McCain didn’t vote or his own bill, eh? Possibly he was in a doctor’s office receiving Thorazine drip therapy.

[Shortstop7]

You talking about LIndsey Graham......I thought he voted for it?

[BlackbirdSST]

I predict they will--at least some of them. They will be mighty angry they did not get what they wanted. And since they are patent lawbreakers in the first place by merit of them illegally walking on our American soil every day, it won't matter to them if they riot, or cause distruction to a country they neither love, nor care about, except to the extent they can somehow personally get something out of that country.

In some corners of this Great Constitutional Republic, that would be a damn foolish thing to do. Chaos begets Chaos! Blackbird.
