“TERM LIMITS!!!!”
TOO LATE!
I'd appreciate your response.
There is another locus of power in DC, and the conservative version of it circulates on the McLean, VA dinner party circuit.
Lott, as Majority Leader, always reminded me of Winston Churchill's discription of Germany: Always either at your throat, or at your feet.
Lott would alternate between insulting Daschalle and the Democrats, and cravenly caving in to the Democrats every demand. I thought it was the worst possible way to lead the Republicans, as he was too rude to charm the Democrats, and too spineless to coerce them. But I was wrong, that wasn't the worst way to lead. The worst way to lead the Republicans is what Lott is doing right now, alternating between insulting other Republicans, and cravenly caving in to the Domocrats every demand.
How about my #52?
This is the thread I was talking about...
“Because of a confluence of special interests like the US Chamber of Commerce, labor unions, and La Raza.”
Anyone who saw Dobbs last night: did you see the expression on the La Raza shill’s face when Lou asked her if portions of the “grand bargain” had been presented to `The Race’ for review and approval/ratification?
She looked like she’d been `pole-axed’ . . .
10,000 of us Floridians showed up at the state capital one year for Right to Life.
As we here in Virginia celebrate the 400th Anniversary of Jamestown, the congress is moving forward with their own liberation plans. Francis Scott Key’s rendition will also change.
UNBELIEVABLE!
Bastards!
TRAITORS!

They live in a bubble and are only concerned with what those directly around them say or think. It’s no wonder they’ll be “shocked, shocked” I tell ya when the spit hits the fan in the real world.
The House represents our best chance to stop it. They run every two years and are closer to the people. When only about 25% of the public favors the Senate bill, it shows you the degree of disconnect between the people and its government. The very fact that the WH and the Senate will resurrect it again demonstrates the disdain they have for the people. I see this as a winning issue politically for the Reps because it cuts across party lines. The problem is that the WH and Senate [and Harry Reid] are making this a Rep bill. We will get the blame and reap none of the benefits. “See you at the signing ceremony.”
I was just musing on that same theme.
It's been a very long while since we (and by "we" I mean ALL Americans) have been in such a direct confrontation with tyranny.
Our Founders warned us over and over and over again that this might (and probably would) happen.
It's now beyond argument that Congress and George Bush are aligned, plotting, and scheming directly against the American people.
This is not representative government, it's naked and shameless tyranny.
“The ruling class WILL have its way!”

It's the type of behavior you see in an oligarchy.
A good letter posted recently on the FR GA forum:
Dear Senator Chambliss,
Thank you for sending this message regarding the message to the President, which I have indeed read. My problem is with the following passage:
To that end, we believe that you and your administration could alleviate many of the fears of our constituents by calling for an emergency supplemental bill to fully fund the border and interior security initiatives contained in legislation currently pending in the Senate
You see, we don’t want this bill funded, contemplated or debated. We want the current laws enforced, the promised 10,000 new Border Patrol Agents (how many have we fielded?), and the already funded wall built. This is not hard to understand. The citizens of Georgia and the United States have had it with the invasion and lack of security on the border in post 9/11 world.
Please drop all consideration of immigration reform. We do not need more laws when the current ones are being broken. All that needs reforming is the lack of enforcement of laws already on the books.
Thanks for your time.
Sincerely,
Doodad
And you have good reason to be.
I printed this off. I’m going to mail it to my senators to put some pressure on them. I am not going to let them play politics with this and vote for expediency. If either think that I would vote for them EVER again if they vote yes on this, they’d best think again.
