Again, I don't see anyone who challenged Sensenbrenner, DeLay, or Hyde over their votes in favor of an amnesty.

Nor am I aware that any of them are in danger of losing their re-election bids.

I've been asking if you can claim otherwise. Do not hide behind Zogby polls or by trying to drag out the fact that I merely reported my brother's observations (which you have grossly distorted to imply that he was harboring them - which was NEVER the case - then again, they are compeltely at odds with your agenda, so I am not surprised that you would be trying to hide from that inconvenient fact).

I also looked at other opinion polls. Illegal immigration, an amensty, or even immgiration in general has not even shown up on the polls concerning priorities. This issue is not even a BLIP on the minds of the general public (Source:
http://www.pollingreport.com/prioriti.htm).

In other words, the poll numbers you are posting don't mean squat. None of the people polled (which is what you seem to think is important) feel this issue is a priority.

To put it bluntly, I'm calling your bluff on this issue. Put up or shut up.

Your links don't work, but it's nice to see I've at least got you to stop quoting your brother.

That's something, anyway.

LOL!

You seem to have conveniently forgotten the removal of Michigan Senator Spencer Abraham in 2000 specifically due to the immigration issue. He was targeted by immigration reform groups who pointed out his record to voters, who in turn decided his "bring in the world" policies were not to their liking.

If you think Republicans are invulnerable, no matter what their position on amnesty you are sadly mistaken. The election is two months away yet, and they have a slim majority in the House. All it takes is for a few to go down in flames, and they lose it all.
