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.

the bill would have been a national suicide attempt - when that was avoided, that is cause to celebrate a major battle in a larger war.

Amen!

Here’s your answer:

Of the 53 votes to kill this atrocious bill only 11 were Democrats! Republicans had enough votes to kill it all by themselves!

I noticed that also.Everywhere ,even on this site most people blame the GOP for this Amnesty bill . And they give Democrats a pass. If they would only bother to look at and see a count of the votes. I don't know if they will give credit to the GOP for killing this bill. I doubt they will.

Liberals,Democrats and Bush want to turn the U.S.A into a socialist Venezuela or a 3rd world country with the passage of this Amnesty bill:

From the Washington Times: Amnesty Bill permits 193 million more aliens from the 3rd world

This is basically the same bill.

It still gives amnesty and the vote to 200 milion, illiterate 3rd world people.

This is so they can take our jobs, benefits, prosperity, land,liberty and country away.This country is our property.

Thank you, Jim. Without this wonderful forum, we could have never gotten so organized or educated to defeat this bill.

That bill would have given Amnesty to 20 million illegals.

AND the bill would have allowed those 20 million to bring in to the U.S.A. their family members ( chain migration) till 2016. And that would have been legal for them to bring in all these illiterate 3rd world people. Then all of these hundreds of millions of foreigners would have the vote too. Then they would control the country. We wouldn’t have had a chance then because Democrats would have had all these hundreds of millions or tens of millions of new pro illegal voters. So then the borders would be thrown wide open to the 4 billion poor of the 3rd world. This is what that bill would have done. So it had to be killed.

Welcome back to FR, Earthdweller. Thought you said you were done with FR a couple of weeks ago when you went running to that RINO blog - Eyes Wide Shut.

Got banned at the RINO forum? You seem to be an obnoxious person wherever you go...LOL. Don’t worry though. FR, unlike some of the RINO fora that you love so much, tolerates hypocrites like you.

So quite the opposite from your naive and emotional assertion, the Democrat party didn't win squat today.

Well, let's see what the makeup of the Congress and Executive branches looks like say...in 2008 and 2010.

And Mr. Mojo...it's you that appears naive and emotional...if you think "...They'll always remember the Donkeys as the party that favored law-breakers over the law-abiding."

The entire Fox roundtable was for the bill.

Which prompted Ann's slam on O'Reilly last night that even Fox News panelists were for it!

Not sure what the “Fox roundtable” is, but Hannity has been strongly opposed. Most of the Fox talking heads have been pro-amnesty.

Well said and I can’t disagree with you on this..Emotions have ran very high on this bill and I’m sure there are many including me, that have said things that they would not normally say about Bush and the Republican party..I do believe that we all should take a deep breath and evaluate where we are in the political process..As bad as some of the RINO’s are, we simply can’t let the Democrats gain control of the congress and the Presidency..My Mother told me that if I couldn't’t say something nice about someone then keep my mouth shut ...I sometimes forget that very good advise.. Thanks for your post ..

She was referring to The Panel—Fred, Mort, Bill C., Juan, Mara, etc. Fred, in particular, has been doing cartwheels over this bill.

Ah yes, Brit Hume’s “All Stars.”

Even worse was that Saturday Buttner show in which all of the Wall Street weenies attacked the president of Mothers Against Illegal Immigration as a racist.

But she held her own. Her last remark was that she wanted the panel to pay for her children’s schools ruined by illegal immigration.

I missed that. Last week they were debating Bloomberg's crazy plan to reward the poor with money if they take their kids to school and the doctor. Rebecca Gomez defended it.

I'll never forget that Brenda Buttner when she was talking about something with Cavuto last year and said nonchalantly, "...when Hillary is president, blah, blah..." and he never even blinked, just accepted it as truth.

Well, we both know who you'll be rooting for. Your pro-amnesty position is shared by far more Democrats than Republicans, so the only way you'll get your wish is with an '08 win by Hillary taking along major congressional coattails. But don't get your hopes up -- your chances are slim.

it's you that appears naive and emotional...if you think "...They'll always remember the Donkeys as the party that favored law-breakers over the law-abiding."

Most law-abiding immigrants who came here the old-fashioned - legal - way will indeed remember the Donks in such a way. It's only the welfare-addicted, Aztlan-pining, assimilation-averse - you know, your crowd - who'll blame the Pubbies. And thank goodness tens of millions of those types, because of yesterday's vote, won't be voting in '08.

Now pick up the phone, call the Prez, and ask him to enforce the current immigration laws. ....which includes building the border barrier. Live up to your username for once.
