Me, too!

There’s a guy on this thread {JeffAtlanta} claiming this is a win for Dems and a loss for Republicans. Time will prove, I believe, that statement to be utterly incorrect.

We may have been part of a monumental watershed moment here. This may turn-out to be the “Amnestias” last hoorah!

You have no idea what you are talking about. We avoided national suicide today so we all should be happy about that. The fact of the matter is, however, that the GOP leadership that we elected was the driving force that brought us right up to the brink of national suicide. The democrats were just along for the ride in this circus.

The bottom line is that we would not have been in this mess if not for Bush, Lott, McCain and Kyl.

Tell me, we saved the country today which is what we have all been working for, but which party is in the midst of a civil war, the dems or the pubs?

You really need to add some sophistication to your political thought processes. This is not a "us" vs "them" situation - our own party leadership, with the democrats as willing accomplisses, came very close to destroying this nation today.

Which political party's leadership was pushing this plan harder, the dems or the pubs?

So how do we get Bush and Congress to honor their commitment to build the fence? Short of starting a second Civil War I mean?

I believe you are paraphrasing what JeffAtlanta said incorrectly. Just because a handful of Republican Senators did the right thing doesn't take away from the fact that many more Republican Senators plus the Republican President were more than willing to give the country away.
