Everyone had a good stiff drinkie? Here goes:
FoxNews reporting from the White House: White House spokesman Tony Snow reacted to the change in House control by allowing they're disappointed, but that it presents some intriguing opportunities, such as passing comprehensive immigration reform which failed in the previous Republican House."
Yeah, I caught that one too. The republicans are now going to ram through amnesty as fast as they can and the dems are going to help them do it.
Here comes amnesty. The House immigration bill was the one that had teeth. This is going to be ridiculous.
"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." -Manuel II Paleologus
The ball is in the Dems court.. If they don't pass immigration reform...
Or maybe now they can propose a much STIFFER bill and blame the rats for failing to protect the borders. Possibility.
I'm going to be in a bad mood for days...but what the hell. The American people have spoken and they're coming from a different place than me and I'm just going to have to adjust...
hate this...
The day a Republican President signs an Amnesty bill into law, goodbye Republican party!
A shame
I don't think so. Bush has always been weak on immigration. If he pushes through a weak bill he will lose more of his base and Republicans will pay the price for years to come.
Tony, you best be kidding cause if you are not, kiss 75% of conservative goodbye.
Not off of the conservative reservation, but surely W will lose cover on his "6"
Unbelievable. Pushing amnesty.
Good for Tony! He always has the right line! LOL!
(First time I laughed tonight!)
Bush is as good as impeached. I hope he's happy.
Didn't Reagan sign an amnesty law, back in '84?
Forget /s tag?
If this is true... I think I'm a Mike "The Savage" Weiner fan once again....
I don't know WHAT voters wanted, because they kicked out all our RINOs too---Johnson, Shays, etc. But as much as I would like to think it was the immigration issue, it wasn't. I think the war was an undercurrent that people vented on the Congress.
Well, this is what all the stay-at-home conservatives wanted, right? Right?
I mean, it was obviously going to happen if you punished the one body that supported your position so it must be what the always angry jackasses wanted, right?
Things are going to change now--and I hope our side is diligent about holding their feet to the fire!
Time to put up, Nancy Pelosi.
Good Lord, shut up...
No nightmare. They win the house barely, the GOP holds the senate barely. As predicted by most pundits, but not me. I expect more from Americans.
"Or maybe now they can propose a much STIFFER bill"
Not a chance! Amnesty, millions of new democrat voters....road to the White House, road to the senate.
Now, what do you suggest we do about it? Both Randy Graf and J.D. Hayworth, who were strong on closing the borders, lost. NONE of the conservatives in the Senate who favord closed borders survived, unless Allen pulls it out.
If there is one lesson here, it is that the country is divided incredibly evenly. The true believers on each side are more convinced than ever that only evil moonbat minorities disagree with their own brand of transcendent virtue. But in fact millions of utterly reasonable human beings do as well. If either side were remotely right about what the country as a whole thinks, they'd have 65% to 80% mandates and would smash the other party. Instead they are so close every race goes to recount land as 1% of single states decides between them. The parties are partisan and strident as never before and the people are not remotely following either's line.
Yes. He was being sarcastic.
Now he about to be impeached. Yeah, smooth move.
That's the only way I'm going to get through this. It's a new Country...and we are going to have to adjust.
Oh, we'll hold their feet to the fire . . . while we're heating up our tortillas.
" such as passing comprehensive immigration reform which failed in the previous Republican House.""
That is the real tragedy in all of this. The consequences of Bush being able to get his immigration plan through congress would be disastrous.
Third party formation alert.
They do it and my support is gone.
The GOP will pay the price forever. Arizona is already Little Mexico. Look at what happened to J. D. Hayworth, a fine Representative. Look at the support for our lesbian governor-dictator. Mexican is now normative in Phoenix.
We refinanced today. The closer said he deals with Mexicans who have been here 10 years and do not speak a word of English. They don't have to. He came from immigrant parents and proudly served in Viet Nam: DSC, Silver Star, three Purple Hearts, etc. You can guess his thoughts about Kerry.
What is your problem??
If Bush tries this, he may find a number of conservatives joining the Democrats on impeachment...
If a Democrat is involved in corruption, does the media hear it?
GOD I HATE THIS
I think we're already feeling the impact of the immigration vote in this election. The future of the Republican party is not good. The Pauls now outnumber the Peters.
my problem? I saw you post the same kind of "I hope they all die" nonsense on another thread...not the model of maturity. We lost, move on with your life.
So many angry folks refused to vote against our terrorist enemies in order to punish our Party for not stopping the employment-enticed flood across our southern border.
Now those non-voters and third party swingers are going to pay for it by trying to work harder than Mexican labor.
...interesting.
You're kidding, right? LOL.
ping
This loss is more likely attributed to the Republican moderates who were very turned off by the lack of leadership from within the GOP in recent months, and the inability of leadership to stand up to the crybaby 'social conservatives' who didn't support the party but wanted to set its agenda.
Consider Schiavo, Harriet Miers, Dubai ports, border immigration, etc.
