$hit in the game. Someone has him by the short ones and he has to deliver "or else."

It goes without saying. I have one list of the lobbyists (aka "trade associations") supporting Amnesty, and no doubt they are applying pressure to everyone. But Bush (as demonstrated by his past obesiance to Vincente Fox) may be looking at something beyond the normal arm-twisting.

Regardless, my original question stands: has any other President in history *ever* pressed a bill four separate times, even though his own party despises and rejects it?

It might have happened, but I really doubt it.

[freekitty]

That’s right; and unfortunately they are killing America and it’s people in the process. I can’t tell you how much these people disgust me. It may be cheap labor for them for a while; but not for the taxpayer. I can hardly keep up with bills myself; much less pay for ingrates.

When GW leaves office, I hope I never see his face or hear about him again.

[tiger-one]

It is time to call these number and new numbers. I don’t have the new numbers but these are the ones which are unpublished. using the same method as the telemarketers, take a base number such as 202-224-3121, and dial lower and higher numbers. Example using the last four digits, 3120, 3119 etc. Every answer you get deliver the message.

The published numbers may now have inbound traffic restrictions, the telco system will be programed to only accept a predetermined number of inbound calls to the Senate which equates to the faucet being turned down to a drip. You will get a busy signal, but not because the dam burst, but because a percentage of incoming calls is only allowed through the pipe

The Senate PIMPS have already taken money by contractors etc. to ram this bill through. They must perform for their johns.

No doubt, this bill is a DOG.

[freekitty]

It would be nice if Bush would join forces with the American people and not people like the dirty Clintons.

[ovrtaxt]

When GW leaves office, I hope I never see his face or hear about him again.

How much do you want to bet that he'll be involved with Mexican oil drilling?

[PJ-Comix]

Will Rush be back on the air today? He needs to talk about this.

[ovrtaxt]

I think so. All the others (except Oreilly and he doesn’t count anyway) will be, I’m sure.

Laura Ingraham has been blazing hot over this!

The American Meat Institute ran this ad in Congressional Quarterly last year (AMI members including Hormel, Tyson, Cargill, and several hundred other companies process 70 percent of America's annual meat output). Regarding immigration Amnesty, the "trade associations" are allied with many powerful unions and immgration "advocacy" groups.

This list is representative, and by no means all-inclusive of the hundreds of groups supporting immigration Amnesty.:

"Though no one wants to reward illegal behavior, we must find a way for these workers to come forward, make good on the past and participate in a program that leads to permanent residency and eventual citizenship."

George Bush is indeed creating his very own historic "legacy".

He's working for inclusion in the Mexican history books...or the future country 'North & South America' history books. He's looking to be their founding father!

[angkor]

Hope so. It would be interesting to see who the puppet masters really are.

See above, #29.

[iopscusa]

Good job on Hagel-mon...I have been peppering our crappy DC Dope Senator Graham with daily calls. Every 4th or so call is a down loaded rant about how I will work day and night to be sure he is never elected in this state again.

[angkor]

Will the WaPo have another phoney article about how support for a resurrected shamesty bill is rising again?

That was a pathetic joke, wasn't it?

It only motivated me to call EVERY SINGLE MEMBER of my state's House Of Representatives delegation once again, as well as both Senators, the RNC, the state GOP, and the White House. Each of the above also got a followup email.

That was the second time in two weeks, inspired entirely by the ComPost article.

By the way, no one I spoke with agreed with the Post's reporting, and everyone was aware of that article.

[Guenevere]

Those aren't the puppet masters....they're just doing the work of the puppermaster, don't you think?

Wouldn't it be Soros ... or multi someones.

[angkor]

I can’t help but wonder if he’s competing with Jimmy Carter

One talking head pundit joked that he was trying to drive his pathetic approval rating from the 30's all the way down to zero.

[samtheman]

I can’t help but wonder if he’s competing with Jimmy Carter to earn the honor of being the worst president in, at least, our lifetimes.

Jimmy was much more consistently evil and stupid.

But what W is trying to do here might actually have a longer-lasting anti-American effect.

[George W. Bush]

I like your injunction to keep Hagel out of your county on pain of humiliation. Very inventive.

In this state, politicians fear humiliation more than anything. The very thought of an angry group protesting them or giving them a hard time in front of cameras makes them sweat.

[angkor]

The published numbers may now have inbound traffic restrictions,

Just curious, what leads you to say that? Are you in the telco biz (sincere question)?

Last week the RNC took the easy way out: they ran the comments line straight to an answering machine. The first time I called they said they were getting 3,000 (three thousancd) calls an hour.

[GailA]

I tried the toll free number it routed me to Bob Corker’s Memphis, TN office..I had called Lamar Alexander...Not Corker’s.

[Jim Noble]

I just called my RINO senator and told him again how much I hate him, how we will humiliate him if he ever sets foot in the county again, how we look forward to humiliating him with a massive defeat if he dares to file for re-election in '08, how much we're supporting the Republican who has filed to defeat him already.

You really know how to win people over to your side, huh?
