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.

I was involved saying dont withhold votes from Republicans.

Change the party from within the primary process.

But no, we had to teach the Republicans a lesson by giving power to democrats.

Now, we will teach the Republicans a lesson by electing HIllary Clinton President.

To quote Pink Floyd, we dont need no education.

We are not celebrating victory. We are celebrating a battle in a longer war where one mistep can cost us our entire Republic.

There’s been a very measured response as a result. Powder is being reloaded.

People are openly celebrating the demise of the Republican party. Do people really think the Democratic party is going to close down too just to make things fair?

What part of 20 million new democrat voters do you not understand? Passage of this bill will destroy the Republican Party.

Can we add Trent Lott to the list? He just irritated me today.

I honestly believe it’s going to have to take a big effort on the parts of us “regular Americans” to form some massive “border first” party. Instead of a “million man march” we need a “build the fence” gathering where we assemble enough people and materials ahead of time and just get the damn fence built.
If we were to build it, then what could they do - tear it down...atleast there would BE a FENCE or wall there. I think actions DO speak louder than words.

The mere fact that tonight......20 million illegals do not currently have a “pathway to citizenship”...and thus voting rights is victory enough for me.

All else is just window dressing. We’ll lick our wounds and live to fight this monstrosity another day. The closer the day comes to “election” day.....the better this bill will become. That is a fact.

Through the years many people have commented on how the immense pressure and stress of the Presidency accelerates and exacerbates the aging of our Presidents. That may be so.

This pic, however, reminds me more than a little of the transformation of Senator Palpatine in the Star Wars mythos, in which it was the embracing of and surrender to evil (the Dark Side) which wrought such devastation on both his visage and his soul...

Of course I don’t.

Build the fence, enforce current border laws, then we can talk about what to do about the 12 million here.

New idea: Everyone on this thread celebrating the demise of this bill is pro amnesty, pro illegal immigration and a failed patriot. The bill contained fence provisions, deportation procedures, and other general enforcement provisons. This means that those celebrating the bill support Amnesty. I think this is an entirely fair assessment of the motives of those posting on this thread.

Another idea:

Why don't you put some posts from the FR Amnesty supporters to back up these hopelessly preposterous claims. Please tell me you're not serious. Sheesh!

Yes. Lott’s another with whom I am bitterly disappointed. I thought so much better of him.

Elections have consequences?

They sure do!. Some people were suckered into voting for the likes of TRENT LOTT, SAXBY CHAMBLISS, JON KYL, JOHN MCCAIN, LINDSEY GRAHAM and ARLEN SPECTRE.

It almost cost us the sovereignty of our Country. They won't make that mistake again.

Note the MT schumer-slaves, tester and baucus, voted to kill the bill. Speaks volumes.

That’s almost exactly what I just emailed both of my Senators. I suggest we take this opportunity to swamp them again with what we really want them to do, since it looks like they might have figured out (with a little help) what we DIDN’T want them to do.

If your polling data is so much better than the Rasmussen poll, this bill would have passed with flying colors and Nancy Pelosi would be having a vote in the house.

Last I heard, Nancy and the Democratic majority in the house have yet to bring immigration up. I wonder why? Afterall, they do have the majority.

100% agreement, both on the going to hell part and your tagline. He is a failure because of his own inadequacies, yet he blames us, who have stood by him and advocated on his behalf through war and two brutal elections, for not supporting something that no conservative could support in good conscience. He called us rascists and nativists and likened us to those who opposed civil rights for blacks.

Had he carried out the oath he swore to his God and executed the law by securing the borders, something probably could have been worked out with regard to a portion of the illegal aliens already here. But he's too inept to do even that. How history will judge him is entirely dependent on who writes the history, but in my book he's a failure.
