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

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.

Somehow just got through to That Cochran’s office. It sounded like all hell was breaking loose there with phone ringing and harried staff.

Said please vote no on cloture on the illegal alien bill. We’ll see.

I read over at redstate that Alaska will be getting shiny new Immigration Services buildings.

Perfect. They could build them on that little island that we build the Bridge To Nowhere to.

I honestly don't know whether to laugh or cry at this stuff. It's like the U.S. Senate has turned into a Monty Python skit. I can't decide whether to vote for the Hagelmonster or Goober Grahamnesty as Upper Class Twit Of The Year.

Corbin DURBIN, by innuendo, saying anti-amnesty Americans are BIGOTS

[nyconse]

Given the political makeup of his state, Coleman better not vote for cloture. He is toast if the bast stays home. He needs every vote he can get.

[Political Junkie Too]

Durbin is confusing me. Is he saying "don't end debate?" That's a vote for no on cloture, right?

"I have, myself, full confidence that if all do their duty, if nothing is neglected, and if the best arrangements are made, as they are being made, we shall prove ourselves once again able to defend our Island home, to ride out the storm of war, and to outlive the menace of tyranny, if necessary for years, if necessary alone."

Even though large tracts of Europe and many old and famous States have fallen or may fall into the grip of the Gestapo and all the odious apparatus of Nazi rule, we shall not flag or fail.

We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our Island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender, and even if, which I do not for a moment believe, this Island or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our Empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the British Fleet, would carry on the struggle, until, in God's good time, the New World, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old."

Bring it on McCain, Kennedy, and Graham. "For they sow the wind, and they will reap the whirlwind."

[JFC]

oh man..... here goes Kennedy.... talk about tossing my post toasties.....

[11th_VA]

Is this on CSPAN?

Yes, CSPAN2 - you can wath over the web

[NordP]

Kennedy wants to know when he has 30 seconds left, because he has a little dance number he wants to do while he sings in Spanish to us again.

[indcons]

OMG! The swimmer is on now and is comparing the criminal alien amnesty to civil rights decisions of the 60s.

[Fudd Fan]

Where is Lindsey;s girfriend? Does he have one ?

You mean John McCain?

[angelcindy]

Please make that SPINELESS SPECTER...

Heard on the news last night that Ravenel’s in a rehab, so I guess he did make bail.
