House Majority Leader John A. Boehner refused yesterday to rule out compromising with the Senate to expand the House border security bill to include a guest-worker program or provisions that opponents call "amnesty." "Let's wait and see what the Senate can produce," he told reporters yesterday when asked whether House Republicans would reject the Senate Judiciary Committee's proposal to allow the estimated 12 million illegal aliens now in the U.S. to seek citizenship after paying a fine.

Trust me, the voters who the GOP needs in order to have any hope of retaining control of Congress will remember.

I just got back from Wendy's and had to ask the car in front of me if they could spare 10 dimes?

You've got a car?!? You are, like, SO lucky!

[Howlin]

Yes, it was.

What's missing is that a lot of posters have just STOPPED posting because they're sick of the bickering, which, of course, is exactly what some people around here want -- not to be contradicted.

If he were trying to increase the bidding, you'd think that he'd take a hard line for now, then compromise later...

[Coop]

I'm talking about the policies that have a major impact on our country.

Like the Dubai Ports Deal? Bwahahahahaaaaa!!! [I slay me]

[Rebelbase]

You are one presumptious person ASSuming way to much.

[Do not dub me shapka broham]

And yet you, Junior and Shapka (or whatever his current screen name is) are still here.

You have a problem with that?

This is nothing, yet. We're just tussling right now.
Notice that NOTHING is sealed in cement? People are projecting their worst fears. You caught on early --- the game is divide and conquer --- sit back and see what happens, but in the interim, write to your senators, congressperson and make phone calls.

After Wendy's I had to go to the gas station and ask them if they could front me 42 gallons for my SUV.

[Howlin]

It's quite obvious to me that the mods are ignoring OUR pings to them about these posters because they're so busy reading all the Abuse Reports about YOU! *Sniff*

"Then correct me if I'm mistaken, but, isn't McCains policies the same as Bush's? On which policy did they not agree on? If you don't know of any, then why the hypocrisy and double standard? You call McCain a treasonous bastard."

This isn't a McCain thread, skippy.

You could could go to one of those for reasons that I and many others have posted.

If my tag line bothers you, you may complain about it.

Coop,
don't stop the mula. Some of us appreciate your wisdom and opinion. Even if we disagree on rare topics it is always interesting to read your point of view. Don't ruin the site just cuz of a few knuckleheads.

[Junior_G]

(idiot question getting an idiot answer)

The second part of your statement was true.

[Coop]

You have a problem with that?

It does tend to weaken the conspiracy theory a bit, wouldn't you say?

[Howlin]

You are one presumptious person ASSuming way to much.

They're your words; I can read and comprehend the English language; you said it more than once on this thread, among other things, so there's not much chance I misunderstood (not to mention the fact that you and a bunch of other posters were practically High 5ing each other about your remarks).

You'll have to live with them, not me.

[Howlin]

:-)

[jmc813]

Oh, wait, that's right. Mr. Tough Marine

Which branch of the service did you serve in?

You never answered my question...Do you define the vast majority of freepers who are distgusted at this issue as the "hysterical bunker brigade"?

[onyx]

BRAVO!
