CSPAN | 6/7/07 | Freespirited

Posted on 06/07/2007 6:01:39 PM PDT by 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.

Spincter is a traitor. And Bush supported him against a Conservative rival.

I have REALLY thought about that over the last six years...

I so think there is a money flow somewhere.

Or at least the scent of the promise of it in the future.

You cannot explain this idiocy bordering on national suicide in any other way outside of sheer corruption, even if hidden deeply at present.

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

I know for a fact Brownback supports this bill, but he doesn't have the courage to go on record with it. When I called his office, I got the wishy-washy answer that "the senator has problems with the bill in its current form." He supports it and will again, but will only do it publicly if there is political cover. I voted for him every election since 1994, but this issue ends my support.

“There’s a lot of support for this bill on the outside” yeah, outside the country.

LOL! Roger that!

RINOS, every last rotten one of them. Deserve to be thrown out of the Senate and into the street.

Hooray!

Now the borders are sealed and all illegal aliens have left the country.

Oh wait.

Sorry, we are being lead by reactionary fools who denounce all restrictions on immigration as Shamnesty.

“This issue is not going to go away,” Kennedy said.

But a few GOP Senators will be

Lindsey Graham and Saxby Chambliss for starters.

That picture says volumes about the state of this country. None of it good.

BTW, the illegals will continue to come as before. We are still behind the 8 ball here.

What I want to know is why all those who begged for passage of this bill were so bent out of shape about it. They were really acting like people who had been threatened with something dreadful. Think mob threats in 1930’s B movies. Some of them were bordering on hysteria, especially the ones going against their constituents. It made absolutely no sense.

Putting tin foil hat on: what is going on behind the scenes?!? Have these people sold out to something or someone? Where does SOROS fit into all of this (other than providing the free 800 number so that we can call our Senators. I don’t remember the whole number, only that it ends in 666. Very fitting!)
