Harry Reid just said after the vote that the bill will be back - I dont know when. With any luck you won't be around to "not know when."

I'm guessing alot of former "yes" voters on this put their finger in the wind and realized this turd was going nowhere, so they switched in order to be in the majority.
Whatever works. Hagel is still a clown, and I can't wait for Bruning to whip his butt in the '08 primary.

Not quite yet. Not until we thank those who voted no and the leaders who fought effectively against it.
So email or call those who voted 'NO'. Thank them and urge them to secure the borders and enforce workplace law...and to make whatever new law is needed to gain control of illegal immigration.
Then you are done. Until they bring back this turkey again.

I'm still interested in keeping lists of those who didn't publicly come out against the bill before today. There will be a lot of "no" votes for cloture that would have gone the other way if the vote had been heading in that direction. Anyone who wasn't publicly against it and cloture needs to be sent home when they come up for reelection.

Good, let’s build the fence and enforce the law while we work on real reform.

Actually...it's our
"Republic" that isn't dead. It shows that our representative, who are supposed to
represent us, can be moved if enough of us contact them...and that is how it is should work.
Our nation was never meant to be a democracy, and the word is not found in the Constitution. But Republic is, and that is what we are a Constitutional Republic founded on the premise that all men are created equal and endowed by their Creator with unalienable rights that are supposed to trump dictators, parliments, presidents, senators...and the folks next door as well.
Great day for our Republis...lets us know that there is yet hope. These pols got the fear of their political life punded into them over this. Now its time to turn them out because on an issue so defining, so fundamnetal, they should never have had to be so moved. For those who were against it from the get go...fine, but fot all the others...turn 'em out and vote in people who have their bearings straight.

We will REMEMBER all of the Republican Senators who sold us out.What result did you expect?
After all Rush Limbaugh runs the country, Trent Lott said as much last week.
Meanwhile, Teddy Kennedy is soaking wet, and is walking back to the Ferry as John Kyl sinks below the surface, still in the back of the "Amnesty Oldsmobile"

I counted along as the No votes were announced...once they got to 40 or so, Brownback and Voinovich switched to No.
Also, McConnell and Warner, two other surprise No votes, did not cast theirs until after 40 No votes had been announced.

O.K., let's talk about America's sovereignty and Bush's plans and action to destroy America in favor of the New World Order. You up for that discussion?

Just heard that so far, 18 senators switched to NO. Once the "no" count hit 41 and there was no chance of getting it passed, there was no reason to vote yes and many "yes" voters switched to "no". Do not be fooled. If they voted "yes" earlier in the week, they wanted a yes and would have voted that way today if it would have pushed it over 60.
Voinovich's vote may have said no today, but his heart continues to say yes. You're out in 2010 Rinovich.

“Pray for W and Our Troops”
Sure!
Almighty Father, close down a hedge of protection around each and every service member around the world fighting to protect the freedoms you’ve so graciously granted your creation.
By the way Father, soften the heart of President Bush so that he may see his error in judgment. Lead him Abba, to repentance for ignoring the voices of those he serves, those who have entrusted our nation to his care.
I pray also Father that you give ALL our leaders a right mind and spirit to do YOUR will Father, not the will led by the father of lies that has led many of our nations leaders into corruption, greed, pride, envy, lust, selfishness. I pray this in the name above all names, the Shepherd of souls, Jesus Christ the righteous....Amen.

Thank God, but this thing is not completely dead yet.
You can bet dollars to donuts that the bribe pens will be out in force after this one.
