I could give a rats ass about the future of the Republican party, I am livid about what the future for my children and grandchildren will be with this travesty.
It was the Republican majority in the House that stopped this plan last time.
The Senate is full of RINOs and only a few real conservatives, but the House was keeping much of the really bad legislation from passing while pushing through border security initiatives one piece at a time.
I don't regret seeing a number of the RINOs that were in Congress no longer there, but Republicans need to learn to toss them out in the primaries, not stay home and whine while the Democrats gain seats and lead us even quicker down a path of self destruction.
The President can't legislate. His legislative power is limited to vetoing legislation he disagrees with.
Bush is also an unpopular President. Bush pushing for this doesn't mean crap if a decent number of Republicans had backbones.
Still crying in your beer, I see.
From all I’ve read and heard some Republican special interest business lobbies (like the U.S. Chamber of Commerce) love the cheap illegal foreign labor without basic benefits that suppresses wages for all working citizens. Some in both parties are pandering to the illegal aliens because they want their votes.
Frankly, in view of the ruin this is bringing to our culture I think some politicians don’t give a damn about our future so long as they can win elections.
I agree but I heard Lou Dobbs say tonight that they’ve actually completed only TWO miles of the fence. Lou said facetiously that at that rate by the end of Bush’s term we might have ten miles! Many a truth is said in jest!
Yes, they are. Like conservatives should still hold their noses for sell-out Republicans.
But, there's butts to smooch, and GOP flyers to hand out, I guess.
Yes you are right, Bush has been for this bill since 2000. In fact that is all he thought about. He put a sombrero on his head and ran around with Vicente Fox singing La Coo-ka-ROCK-A-FELLER Republican chaa chaa, and while countless conservatives were telling him to please look at OBL, that the Islamic terrorists hit the Towers once but didn’t finish the job and so are coming back, all Bush had in his mind was some identity crisis thinking that he himself is a Mexican. Bush thinks America is a Nation Built on Lettuce. He can take his lettuce and stick it where the sun don’t shine. He had his mind so much on lettuce, that the Towers came down. That idiot. And now, as a lame goose, he is going to try to do this to us. Buffalo Bush. To hell with him.
I thought last time Kennedy had a bill on Immigration Reform that was it. In what 1986 didn’t we have a bill to clean up the boarders, lock the back gate and come from the front door to enter. They keep on giving us lip service and that is all. You can dress it up call it an evening gown but it is STILL AMENSTY. I am sure we will hear this again in 20 years we need to fix the immigration rules the poor illegals that came here only want does Americans wont do. Will I got a great idea round up all the homeless to pick the produce, get the welfare people that are able body to work or have kids in school all day to work (mom’s do it all the time) and I am sorry the welfare mom next to me isn’t that great of a mom. So problem solved for those jobs Americans wont do. tancredo is right!
Piss off you sleazebag yankee.
This amnestry bill is made possible by RINO's selling out the GOP.
I completely agree. Conservatives are sick and tired of the same old game of choosing between “tweedle-dum” and “tweedle-dee.” As I said to another FReeper, if I’m forced to choose between the usual RINO and the Dem, I’ll write-in Tancredo or Hunter. And, contrary to the conventional wisdom this would NOT be throwing away a vote.
This bill is a disaster. Not only will it completely alter the demographics of this country, it will finish the Republican party. A complete victory for liberalism.
Oh God, give us an American Pinochet to save what’s left of this country even if he had to suspend the Constitution. It has been trampled already.
I feel the same way. I know this may seem too pessimistic but I think the America we once knew is disappearing. I think it was the late Chief Justice Rhenquist who said just before his death that he was finding it more and more difficult to recognize his own nation. Perhaps it’s even too late - after a point quantity irrevocably changes quality. And we wll know what the “quantity” is.
Right. I think that’s what Tancredo is saying. Our political language is Orwellian. Words like “comprehensive,” “reformed,” and “earned” are part of their game. Up is down, north becomes south, good becomes bad, etc. These so-called political leaders have absolutely no moral or political compass.
Exactly. Rush said pretty much the same thing today on his show. Aside from the social, economic, and cultural calamities this massive illegal foreign invasion is bringing us (not to mention the fact that the President and Congress are oblivious to the national security danger in this age of international terrorism), the Republican Party is comitting suicide.
And it’s not just conservatives like Rush. Heritage scholars like Robert Rector have demonstrated in their comprehensive scholarly research that the massive invasion and out-of-control borders will ultimately destroy the whole fiscal and social infrastructure. Good bye, America!
for all the lapdogs that like the enforcement part of this amnesty bill, they dont enforce the laws now , what makes you think they will enforce the new rules? Hey, heard that from Shawn hannity of all places lol.
Actually knowing how they operate, it is probably all postering(I hope) they know there will be backlash and will be FORCED to vote the bill down. so it looks like they did something.
I too voted straight Republican in the last election. Yesterday morning I e-mailed both of my Republican Senators and then phoned them. Chambliss’ office said he would never vote for an amnesty bill, not to worry. Isakson’s office said he was not involved with this vote. He would be sitting it out. By yesterday afternoon, BOTH OF THE SCUM LIARS WHERE RIGHT THERE WITH KENNEDY SMILING!!! I called back and told them I would do everything in my power to see that they are removed from office next time around.
