President Bush visited with Senate Republicans behind closed doors yesterday, promising that he will follow through on border security, pleading with them to give his immigration plans a second look and trying to overcome hard feelings that arose from his recent charge that opponents are guilty of trying to "frighten people.". . .
One key question is how to go forward even though several amendments have already cut at the grand bargain -- including limiting the guest-worker program and making it easier to deport those who don't qualify for legalization -- and several other difficult amendments could pass before the bill is final.
Senate Minority Whip Trent Lott, Mississippi Republican, said those amendments will simply disappear when the House and Senate go to conference.
"No big deal -- you pitch those before you get to the Rotunda," he said.
But that is just what those who oppose the bill fear.
"I'm really disturbed Trent Lott would say: accept an amendment, he'll pitch it in conference," Mr. Sessions said. "Whose side is he on?"

According to the FBI files that Hillary Clinton accidentally found in her White House office, being a male cheerleader was not the only unmanly thing Trent Lott did in college. I called his office today and asked his staffer what part of no to the immigration bill don’t you understand. The voice said press 1 to leave that message with the senator.
Somebody said the other day here that he does. ANd right now I choose to believe that!!
Mississippi ping
He does seem to be getting a bit C nile.
He often engages mouth before engaging brain.
You can bet those staffers covers their rear, I am sure that adverse messages never makes it to their boss.
Honest hard-working Americans are apparently in such a “minority” that nothing can ever change for the better. We are outvoted by liberals of all stripes, shapes, and PARTIES.
It's already there: we lost the House, Senate, governorships, and state legislative majorities on Nov. 7, 2006. Then GWB comes out and says he can work better with the Democrats any way on immigration "reform". GWB is about as helpful to the GOP as the Whigs said of John Tyler in 1841. At least Tyler had real principles!!!!
You are probably right. Sigh...............
Whatta idjit!
I’m with Inhofe, Sessions, and DeMint.
Those three are true patriots!
Thank you for the post and ping!
