“And finally, it’s a marvel of nature to see a man who’s calling in life is obvious to anyone who sees him at his job. Senator Kennedy is such a man. He loves his work, and his passion has inspired us.

WTF? The only marvel of nature connected with Kennedy is that his liver and heart are still working. Geez, why didn't he just walk up to Fat Ted (Drunken Murderer, MA) and give him some tongue.

This out of touch MORON needs to step aside as Minority Leader and give it to someone like Sessions or DeMint. You know, I WISH that I lived in Kentucky-just to vote against McConnell.

Talk about “yap yap yap” and say nothing. What a waste of oxygen.

Sounds a bit like Don Corleone, eh?

Is there no limit to the stupidity of speechifiers. The best thing these clowns can do is give this abomination a speedy planting and let the American people (82% at least) know they have been heard.

I have never seen people in denial like this. It’s like we don’t exist.

Why didn't he thank Voinovich? Without him making all supporters of this bill look like complete asshats on national radio yesterday and once again firing up the base, this bill might have slipped by.

....I ain’t seen this much st***ing since I left the bath houses of SEA in 1969. Hey Mitch, the next time your head is up the swimmers butt, check to see if he does indeed have another bellie just for the scotch....these crankers need to be taught another lesson.

Hmm - a bill is written in secret. No hearings are held on it. Minority rights are completely thrown overboard for the first time in the Senate’s history. The bill is completely rewritten one night, and a cloture motion to end all debate is rushed to the next day before anyone can read the 400 new pages. The amendment process is undermined to only allow amendments approved by the majority leader. Total debate time for all opposing senators was 10 minutes. Oh yeah, and the minority leader, this same great statesman McConnell, broke precedent by not voting with the majority of his party.

Do you really think we buy your line that the architects of this mess had good intentions and good will?

“Senators Sessions, DeMint, and Vitter got us all to sit up and listen closely to a lot of people who thought they’d been shut out of this debate. They put the rules of this body to work. And I’d take any one of them in a firefight.


I guess DeMint is OK and to be frank I’ve never heard of Vitter, but Jeff Sessions was like the Spartans holding back the Persians at Thermopylae. What an American hero. Great speaker as well.

We may have to break a few eggs to save the American omelette. This sneakster was poised to move against the people. We know it.

Mitch prances around the elephant in the room. Our borders are undefended and our American way of life is under attack. Throw the invaders out on there ass. Get them out of my hopitals, my schools, and off my highways. If they want to visit legally, there is a manner in which to do so. Any politician who assists them in law breaking should be shown the door forthwith.

““Senator Graham was one of the generals in this effort. He always does what he thinks is right, and Americans admire him for it.”

No we don’t. We despise him. When we didn’t bow to our masters, he called us bigots and tried to shove the bill down our throats anyway.

McConnell actually slobbered praise on Ted Kennedy. Kentuckians (and I used to live there), you need to can this asshole the next time a primary comes along. This guy will screw you in an instant. Get a real Republican.

Yeah, you heard us? Good. Now get off your ass and make sure the current law is enforced. Maybe then you’ll have a shred of credibility.

“Today is a day of victory and defeat. So many people have poured so much of themselves into this bill over the last weeks and months, and every one of them deserves our thanks and our respect.

No they don't. They deserve a swift kick in the tookus.

Maybe we will wake up tomorrow, and find out that George Bush has asked for the resignation of Mel Martinez from the RNC, just like he asked for the resignation of Donald Rumsfeld after the “thumpin” the party took last November.

McConnell: People’s Will Was Heard
No joke; you old fart. I thought that's what you bunch of yahoos were supposed to do up there in Washington; represent and vote the will of your constituents.

“Senator Salazar gave a lot of himself to this debate, a lot of time and no little criticism. Thank you.”

Yeah, my senator, Ken Salazar, is a real prince.

(From early June)

DENVER — Sen. Ken Salazar on Friday likened opponents of a foundering immigration bill to “bomb-throwers” and said they are compromising national security.

The Colorado Democrat, who played a key role in crafting the legislation, said it isn’t dead dead, even though the Senate is now turning to other matters.

“For those who are bomb-throwers that say this is not tough legislation with respect to the 12 million people who are here (illegally) — it is tough legislation,” he said.

Salazar, who was back in Colorado a day after the bill failed a crucial vote, said some of the measure’s opponents don’t want any bill to pass.

“From my point of view, those groups ... are compromising the security of the United States,” he said.
