Burton didn't vote. Geez..

[jragan2001]

California should also be proud to have Rep. Rohrabacher to vote no against El Presidente's Bush 245I extension plan. I am also happy to see the Conservative California Republicans, by their nomination of Bill Simon, go tell people like El Presidente Bush and Karl Rove to go take a hike!!

Gekas is not one of them...I was talking to a liar

Nah, you probably scared him so much that Gekas got on the phone to swap a vote with someone who was originally going to vote no but ended up voting yes in exchange. We've been had here.

I see Dunn and Bono are traitors. They must have hired help they didn't want to lose.

That's right, and the Church shooting in New York. And be all interested in the 5 color-coded states of emegency that our Homeland Genuius reported on today. Of course, when Gail Norten got up to speak, all 3 Cable news shows went back to Andrea and the drama and the dun dun dun background music.
Im pissed.
I was very interested in what she had to say.

Arizona, Shadegg, Hayworth, Kyle and Flake were against. Ed Pastor and J. Kolbe were FOR.

I'm going to recheck, but this is a border state and Phoenix has enough problems on a local level.

I want Dan Burton to explain why this wasn't important enough to vote on, when his one vote would have stopped it. Any FReepers in Georgia, he's got some explaining to do, doesn't he?

[jragan2001]

Has Ron Paul become another El Presidente Bush sellout??? He would have been one of the last people I expected to vote for this, but he has said he is a libertarian serving under the GOP banner.

Call it the The List of Shame

Every guy deployed to Afghanistan should know what just got done to them. Send them the list.

The staffer that you spoke with was lying. Flat out lying. We are now routinely lied to by our "representatives". In this particular case, 245i does only one thing: it DONATES United States citizenship to numerous more millions of illegal invaders into our land. It has NOTHING to do with people "who enterend legally" or who the "INS did not process in time". Thanks for letting us hear one of the lies that our "Representatives" are slinging. You might want to post this Congressman's name.

This is an important point to consider for those many people who "support legal immigration but oppose illegal immigration". These people do not realize just how slippery and dishonest our politicians (of both parties) are. Notice how the Affirmative Action folks, in response to court decisions, laws, and public opinion, relabeled "racial quotas" as something more innocuous: as "goals", "objectives", or "guidelines", or simply used other methods to achieve the same ends (such as "race norming", or getting rid of SAT and other standardized tests, or giving more weight to inflated school grades and other less objective criteria). In other words, the policy continues on, impervious to law, democracy, or public opinion.

So also with immigration. Do opinion polls show more people opposed to illegal immigration than to legal immigration? Fine. The open borders crowd will simply relabel the illegal immigrants as something else - undocumented migrants, guest workers, whatever - and legalize their presence in this country. You oppose illegal immigrants but "support" legal immigration? Hey presto! *poof* All of those "illegals" are now legal. Where's your support of "legal immigration" now? Once enough people wise up to these games, they will realize the futility of trying to be moderate and "reasonable" on the immigration issue; until then, they will be duped by salami tactics and deception of the most blatant kind.

Would you all like to express yourself on this poll? Will the president be as popular next year as he is now?

[jragan2001]

Face it, Mr. Burton is another sellout just like El Presidente Bush. Another wolf in sheep's clothing my friend.

[let freedom sing]

of the 22 abstains-- Doolittle is up for reelection. He just sat back, and let them DO the dirty work. There's no such thing as an honest politician.

INS just now sent approval for student visas to the Venice flight or whatever flight school, on NBC network news. From London kentucky, INS on envelope, they sent approval for

TWO DEAD TERRORISTS are APPROVED FOR STUDENT VISAS> oH MY GOD, AND THEY JUST VOTED to keep letting them in, and INS will handle it oh so well.

[Regulator]

Thanks. I just did.

[who knows what evil?]

It's going to look a lot worse when he has to explain where he was when that bill passed by a single vote.

He will be appearing at an upcoming political function in east Tennessee, where I should have the opportunity to ask him that very question in person.

[Oregon Coast Conservative]

I think you know how I voted on that one. The ONLY reason I voted for Bush was hoping he would do something rational about our borders, and stop the PC BS. Instead, he has now diminished my vote, and continues the PC BS with the Muslims are peaceful, etc etc. I am angrier right now at him than I ever was at Clinton. Clinton just disgusted me, Bush SCARES me.
