If you are refering to the GOP poll ordered by the admin, that is push polling at finest by amnesty advocates of this administration.
It's bogus.
"But it looks to be more and more like our representative government is going to work this time, hallelujah!"
Interesting how an election every 2 years (for House members) focuses their attention on the will of the voters.
Maybe we need to require Senators to run for re-election every 2 years, as well.
Don't get too excited yet.
This isn't over, not by a long shot. I expect the battle to go on for at least the summer on this legislation alone. Even if we win this battle, it still doesn't secure the borders and it still doesn't stop the amnesty crowd from trying to wear us down and sneak it in other legislation.
King was a big fan of amnesty back in '98.
Peter King for President
Kay Bailey Hutchinson reported on Lou Dobbs last week that communications to her office were running around 1800 against to less than 20 for the Senate bill. I assume that anyone who communicates with their elected officeholders are beyond likely voters, but almost certain voters. Communications to elected officeholders may not be scientific but should count for more than spinmeister polling. Of course, voters should have more representation than illegals which is evidently not the case for a President , Rinos and Democrats.
I think that the vast majority of Americans have an entirely different view of what it should take for an illegal to "earn" citizenship than does the average US Senator. A poll question that offers the choice between a slammed door and one opened just a crack might eleicit such a reply, but a poll question that offered a choice between a door opened just a crack and one thrown wide open ala the US Senate's version would give an entirely different result.
Amen Rep. King!
There's a thread tonight with comments by the Senators who DID NOT vote for the amnesty bill.
While I appreciate them voting no, there's a real disconnect. In their comments as to why they voted no, not one of them said anything even close to, "My constituents elected me to the Senate because I promised to do their will. I listened to my constituents and that's why I voted against the bill."
How disappointing.
It don't take a genious to see that Amnesty insures 20 plus million new propective democrats insuring republican minority status for God knows how long.. UNLESS if THAT is what YOU WANTED.. (i.e the White House)
Let me see if I have this straight.
You're criticizing senators who voted "no" on this?
They ain't called "unappeasables" for nothing.
Call me cynical, but this is the word of a single man. He still needs to corral 230 Republicans(some of whom like CIRA). There are still many more battles that needs to be fought before CIRA is in the asheap of bad legislation.

And what rights would those be? Our constitution grants rights to lawful CITIZENS, NOT illegals.
Well what happened to all the polls that showed the overwhelming majority of Americans favored the House Bill over the Senate Bill?
Could it be that because O'Reilly favors amnesty that he would push a like-minded poll on his program? Afterall he's only looking out for us.
The problem is I've seen polls all over the map on this... Dobbs keeps saying the Senate is against the will of the people but there are plenty of polls saying a majority supports the Senate bill. Go figure.
Dobbs pushes his own poll. Both O'Reilly and Dobbs only show polls that support their view.
The battles are just beginning.
Funny how being up for election in a few months clarifies the vision.
