I wish we could hold recall elections.

Why can't they be recalled? Recalled and/or impeached is what we MUST do, if we are going to save the Republic. IF we let them get away with this, it's just a small step to the LOST Treaty and then on to gun control. Don't forget that Schummer is writing legislation to use the RICO Act against gun owners! The rotten bast*rds are so arrogant that we can't afford to trust them ever again!

“Chambliss had just finished emphasizing his devotion to border security provisions contained in the measure, and brought up agriculture’s need for temporary, foreign workers.

“We’ve got to face the fact that we’ve got to create a new, truly temporary worker program” — the boos started here, but Chambliss plowed on — “for that segment of our economy that need temporary workers. “

So just make a bill for agricultural workers.

It’s that simple. Feinstein had a bill like that.

But Chambliss is a flat out fraud and liar. I had hopes he was duped a bit, but those are gone with those very words,

spoken to a GOP convention no less,

full of guile.

He could have pushed just for an ag bill, but didn’t.

I hope the money was worth it Chambliss,

“Today is a different day in Washington. Republicans are not in control. The Democrats have decided that an immigration bill is coming to the floor.”

Chambliss lies and lies again.

Bush pushed this, it’s no mystery.

Bush said it was the first thing he wanted to do with the Democrats.

Pelosi, etc. NEVER mentioned immigration, in fact fear Bush’s America-busting plans for 2008 elections.

Chambliss thinks we are potted plants.

Guile, full of guile.

I’m beginning to think we CAN round up 12 million illegals and depart them. If we have the will....

The same old tired liberal retoric, but don’t worry we will remember you and all your un American traitors on both sides of the fence on election day! Lets clean up people.

“We either come up with a comprehensive immigration package or we have the status quo,” he said.

There is another option- BUILD THE WALL!!!!

The sad thing is that both our Senators are fairly conservative and good Senators. We could do a lot worse in Georgia. However, they just don’t get it on immigration.

Bush is just so nice . . . .

So, it is said, was Lucretia Borgia.

Good. He is way out of step with Georgia voters and I hope he losses the next primary. He is close to being a traitor with his stance.

Clearly, the economic interests of business trump those old fashioned notions of national sovereignty, border security and enforcement of the laws of the United States.

Traitors. All of them. They aren't fit to hold office.

After the speech, Chambliss said he took the crowd’s reaction as a lack of popular understanding

It's not the American patriots who are dense, Chambliss. Buy a clue.....with part of the money you got for selling us all out.

"“If this gets categorized as amnesty, it could cause the party to split next year, particularly if the top of the ticket is viewed as too liberal,” said Mark Rountree, a political strategist who works with Republican candidates."

Tell you what, Mark, you can count on it getting categorized as amnesty.

Because amnesty is what it is -- pure and simple.

And American citizens will make sure the traitors in Washington pay a high price for their treason.

Here's a hint: the GOP can look for a 2008 election season that is far worse than the 2006 midterms.

How does that sound to you, Mark, hmmmm?

In how many ways would you like them "departed"? j/k
(but that'll work, too)
