Live Thread: Senate Amnesty Debate (CRITICAL 2ND CLOTURE VOTE TODAY!) Woo hoo!! It's DEAD!!
The U.S. Senate with Free Republic Input | June 28, 2007 | truthkeeper

Posted on 06/28/2007 6:25:57 AM PDT by truthkeeper

Here we are again my friends, hopefully for the last debate thread on this particular monstrous legislation. Proceedings are supposed to begin at 9:30 a.m. EST, with the cloture vote being taken at 10:30 a.m.

On a personal note, you've all been wonderful in your passion, vigilance, and commitment to the principles on which our country was founded. If I have to be in a foxhole, I want to be in it with you guys.

Arlen Dumpster is asking senators to vote for cloture and then vote against the final bill. This was the tactic preferred by Jorge Bush’s gang in the WH.

Hopefully, senators know that the rest of us see through this nonsense.

Isn't that what our side wanted (and the WH) when it came to judges or Amb Bolton for the UN?? - I don't want to see this bill passed (as is) either. But the notion that it is evil for them (Jorge and the WH gang) to want to keep things consistent and allow full votes on measures....isn't necessarily wrong (logically).

You disagree with them (WH) on this bill. Fine. So do I. But the notion that we want full votes on some measures and not others....doesn't make them (WH) wrong or evil.

Ok. Now I’m confused. We don’t want cloture?

Only Senator’s call themselves the “greatest deliberative body in the world.”

He says if they gave themselves more time they could do better. Why don’t they?

That’s one gorgeous suit that man is wearing for the cameras. Not bad for a poor guy (/s) from Searchlight.

Wonder “who” he’s wearing.

Some of them are counting on us loud stupid people not understanding that a vote for cloture is a vote for amnesty. Any amendments would be shot down or pulled out in committee. However, it doesn’t matter, if this vote goes through the bill is a done deal and the elitist liars have won this battle-but not the war. They will rue the day.

I am also upset about my mistake in voting for President Bush! RINO’s are tricky to spot when they are running for office when they lie so well. I will be very very carefull on who I support and will work very hard to unseat RINO Martinez when his seat comes up!

It’s possible to voice opposition without being disgusting, is all I’m saying. If anyone takes offense to that, then tough.

Not too sure about that. When Clinton was president, the republicans actually acted like conservatives. There is no way that No Child Left Behind, CFR, Medicare Plan-D or any of the other insane programs would have been passed if Kerry or Gore were president.

Bingo. You're the winner.

Say what you will about Sheets Byrd, but he has opposed this amnesty from the beginning.

True that.

WHY IS REID STILL TALKING????? HE ONLY HAD 20 SECONDS AND HAS TALKED FOR AT LEAST 5 MINUTES. Sessions now asking about that.
