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.

If this is truly dead, I think I know the nest trick that they are going to pull: they are going triple the amount of “legal” immigrants. It will accomplish the same thing as shamnesty but it will be legal.

I am actually not to far off of the idea. I just want to see a candidate rallied around and Republicans coming together not pulling apart. Obviously, I do not care at all for criticism of President Bush.

I fear any proposals made even by Tancredo are going to be manipulated by some as deceptive and incomplete reform. This seems inevitable given the size and scope of illegal immigration.

I still believe that Dem radicals are in on this game and trying to destroy Republicans on this issue.

I really like Sessions. He just tells it like it is. It’s giving a good summary now.

Two clowns who forgot their loyalty is to us, “We the People” not their LEGACY and certainly not the Mex-cans.

Ronald Reagan has a great legacy because of what he did because he knew it was right, not what he tried to get a “legacy” by doing.

For those of us here in California, we are checking the night skies for signs that the planets have aligned since Barbara Boxer (the dumbest woman in the Senate) voted AGAINST cloture. Apparently she and Feinstein had a tiff on the floor. I’d love to see the video of that! Anyway, I’m calling her to thank her for voting appropriately for once. Diane will hear from me too.

I heard Paris Hilton may be going back to jail. My theory is that a good, secure double fence can stop Paris as well.

Can you imagine if that's what we had coming at us at the rate of 7 to 10 thousand per day over the border? Half the country would be down there building a wall, well armed.

Do you think PA is one of those states which most want illegals to move in because PA has lost population for years, compared to the national average? I notice both Specter and Casey favor open borders. Or are the people of PA just to much at slumber to know what is happening?

You know, I have yet to have it explained to me why Bush pushed this bill.

There's something very fishy about this whole thing. The proponents were frenetic about getting it shoved through...

Gosh....Bush is the one that started this....

I am amazed to see a “conservative” still in Bush’s corner.

Sorry but for me bush has committed the unpardonable sin.

Senator Jeff Sessions just laid it out.

"Majority Leader Harry Reid, maybe wanted to get rid of this bill. He now began to say it was President Bush's bill, but it was a Senate Bill. He called it up without committee hearing. It's Senator Reid's Bill if you want to know the TRUTH!"...

Thank you, Senator Sessions.
