"I said that I am not informed, that I have read several amendments in the bill and he says;" that's what everyone says".

Why did you tell him you are not informed? It is always better to just say, "I am calling to ask Senator Dingbat to vote against cloture on Thursday for the good of our country." You also might ask, nicely, if he is keeping a record of phone calls on this bill, and how the calls are running. They know you are upset or you wouldn't have called, so they really don't need to hear that, and it comes across as if you are upset with THEM. They are interns who don't know squat and who are under a lot of pressure. No reason to add to their grief.

Bush’s support for Sphincter was one of his first clueless tin ear decisions.

Considering that they are on the same side on this, it is now obvious that Bush's support of SPECTRE made a lot of sense. He needed an experienced RINO to push this RINO/Kennedy bill.

Sending illegals home is contrary to the goals of our politicians. The thinking in DC is that we need to keep the illegals we have, and create incentives for more of the same to come. It’s not like politicians work. Their money is tied up in investments that benefit from the steady stream of cheap labor, and their families are isolated from the cultural effects of flooding the US with uneducated, unskilled and uncultured people from lawless countries.

This morning, Senator Colemans office hung up on me when I called to politely voice my opposition to his voting for amnesty. Not only did the “honorable senator” stab me in the back, but his office staff was rude to me.

Laura Ingraham was really after Senator Coleman yesterday, before the vote - asking her staff and listeners to call him. His phones were not being picked up - but she finally got through to somebody after thirty-five minutes.

I think she would be interested in hearing about your experience.

I think Lindsay is too tied to McCain.

The sham continues. Any Senator that votes for this dog AFTER their amendment is unceremoniously slapped down should answer to his / her constituents right up until election day.

He's tied all right. But we can't say how here on FR. (And that's a good thing :)
