Do we have a list of the real Americans in the Senate?

Well, maybe all the emails I wrote had some effect (for a change). No bill is better than a bad bill. There is a very simple acid test for these things--if Ted Kennedy supports it, its bad.

Passing this amnesty crap would put a nail in the GOP coffin for 2006.

Hopefully, they are moving back from the cliff edge.

We're looking like we're going to be able to dance," Minority Leader Harry Reid enthused in an impromptu morning press conference with Mr. Frist.

This makes me sick to my stomach.

If they wanted to do whats right for this country they would simply pass the house bill. This shows that the Senate doesnt care what the American people want. If Mc Cain ever thought he a had a prayer to get a conservative vote for the 08 nomination, his pact with the drunken car sailor has sealed his fate.

"We've made huge progress,"

Yeah, like enforcing the laws already on the books.

"Yesterday morning's vote fell 21 "ayes" shy of the 60 needed to end debate so that final debate and a vote could be held. Five Democrats -- Sens. Robert C. Byrd of West Virginia, Kent Conrad of North Dakota, Byron L. Dorgan of North Dakota, Bill Nelson of Florida and Ben Nelson of Nebraska -- joined all Republicans in the filibuster."

Way to go, North Dakota- Conrad and Dorgan are a couple of DINOs I can admire, at least on this issue.

as the day wore on, staffers on Capitol Hill and lobbyists interested in the issue read through the 525 pages of legislation. By late last night, leaders on both sides of the aisle told reporters that they were highly doubtful that the Hagel-Martinez legislation would survive a vote scheduled for today. If the compromise does not garner enough votes to move forward, senators will have an opportunity to give conservatives what they've always wanted by voting on a border-security-only bill introduced last month by Mr. Frist.

Everyone interested in the illegal immigration issue should read Hidden Bombs By Kris Kobach, who was head of the immigration division under AG Ashcroft.

Senate Republicans killed an immigration bill yesterday that they said would grant amnesty to millions of illegal aliens




Showing that their sense of self preservation is strong.
