"Oh, no, it's not dead," said South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham, a Republican member of the bipartisan coalition.<<
“GOP demands to offer additional amendments...”
Once the pro-immigration side accedes to the amendments, it’s going to the floor.
Man, Lindsey Graham needs to GO! When this guy up?
From a political standpoint, Lindsay is a dead man walking. I myself am considering moving to SC just to vote his a$$ out of office.
Hey Senator Grahamnesty! Your bill just became the Francisco Franco of legislation. (:^D)
I hope this is wishful thinking on the part of Senator Graham, who has expended a great deal of political capital with his foolish investment in this ridiculous immigration bill.
You people in SC ought to get off your butts and do something about Lindsey Graham. Is it possible to re-call him or something...he’s gone off the deep end.
Graham should retire and open a hair salon with Edwards.
How can we be so sure a bill is dead when the Democrats have the votes to pass it in Congress and President Bush wants to sign it?Talk about the bill’s demise are premature and just a distraction by the media.
It’s not just Graham Cracker, according to the article, there are all sorts of quislings still trying to do CPR on this shamnesty. May they all be recalled!
A couple of weeks back the major SC newspapers had a story on Grahams war chest for his upcoming campaign. Something like 80% of his money was from outside of the state. He doesn’t represent the interest of South Carolina or the US for that matter! I can’t imagine see how he could possibly get reelected. The loss won’t matter because he, Kyle and the rest of the turncoats have been well compensated for their treason.
It wasn't just republicans, many democrats had amendments. James Webb (D-Va) for example had an amendment pending that would restrict the z-visas to people who had been here 4 years or more, vastly limiting the number of people who would qualify.
‘President Bush suffered a devastating setback ....’
The moment I heard Dingy Harry Reid proclaim ‘This is the President’s bill’ I knew it was dead.
Actually, Kennedy and McCain suffered a ‘devastating setback’ particularly McCain - since he now has ZERO CHANCE of gaining the nomination, instead of last week when he had a 3% chance.
The immigration bill is not dead...like the parrot in Monty Python it’s just resting...pining for the fjords.
When is weasly Lindsey’s term up?? Let’s hope he faces a challenge from a true conservative. S.C. is too great a state to have a sell-out like Lindsey representing it.
Hopefully, the voters of South Carolina will put some ice on this twit shortly....
Does that Punk have a primary opponent yet?
At least Lindsey has provided his primary opponent with ready-made campaign ads, gushing and fawning over his great friend Teddy Kennedy.
That’ll go over real well in SC.
