Too bad Cornyn and Kyl are talking out both sides of their mouths. Wonder what happened to the "guest worker", er AMNESTY program they submitted some months back.

Oh, I see, you're here to bash two GOP senapors who are also credited for halting the vote in the senate?
A puritan, are you?

I would vote for Sessions - I really think the GOP needs a candidate who is NOT a Senator though.
Translated into English, you're saying "I would vote for a politician who supported a guest worker program/amnesty - I really think the GOP doesn't need a candidate who is tough on the illegal immigration issue and a true conservative though."

Exactly. The strategy for RINOs seems to be something like, "See? We stopped that evil Kennedy/McCain bill. Now give us our guest workers."
RINOs have been used to seeing conservatives compromise on issues for so long when the "you'll vote Hillary in if you don't listen to us!" card gets played, they don't know what to do with the large conservative base tells them to go pound sand.
Which, by the way, is exactly what they are being told. 80%, give or take, wants to see the following: no amnesty, no guest workers, and a wall built. Defy us at your peril.
Don't like it? Vote for the libertarians.

the latest in a series of election-year setbacks for President Bush and the Republicans who control Congress.
Comment:
How in the hell can anyone but an AP story consider this anything but a win for Republican Conservative faithful and America.
This was a loss of sorts for the President but a win for us little guys out in the hinterlands.
I would say it was a bigger loss for the Dimocraps looking to add several million voters to their phony grave yard voter rolls along with the Cynthia McKinney plantation blacks.

Don't bring me in on it. ;) :D
All I said was Sessions would be a great on the Supreme Court.

How in the hell can anyone but an AP story consider this anything but a win for Republican Conservative faithful and AmericaIt is and it isn't. Its a vote for the status quo - cheap labor "off the books" for big business interests - and a continuation of taxpayer-funded social services for illegals. There is no real support for this kind of legislation anywhere from either party. The whole immigration "reform" thing is so much smoke and mirrors. Remember who really pays these Senators. The same guys who reap the benefits of "off the books" cheap labor are the ones who oppose any kind of amnesty and potential legalization. That would drive up their cost of doing business. Our (conservative) opposition merely falls in line with the big money interests. The only way conservatives can score one in the "Win" column here is for the entire border to be sealed before any other aspect of immigration reform is discussed.

What really surprises me is the number of blacks pulling for amnesty.
I suppose that some NAACP, ACLU, Nation Of Islam and other racists leaders and enablers see this as an opportunity to replace blacks as an underclass by illegals.
The only problem is that most illegals in most cases are willing to do the jobs that blacks will not do.
Therefore amnesty of any sorts will further cement blacks as Americas welfare underclass.
