“Do you agree the Immigration Bill is going to pass the Senate?”

Well it certainly is possible. Let’s be honest,it’s not like the Senate is populated by men and woman of principle and conviction, just a bunch of self serving politicians with no sense of right or wrong !!!

“......,it’s not like the Senate is populated by men and woman of principle and conviction, just a bunch of self serving politicians with no sense of right or wrong !!!”

It is? I’m shocked! Shocked I tell ya! Seriously, I just looked at (Alaska) Lisa Murkowski’s website and her view on the issue. I simply could not figure from that how she will vote in the end, but I am leaning toward she will vote in favor of it. It seems to me that many in the Senate will “against it” but in the end will vote for it and later try to convince us that it was the best they could do under the circumstances and they, (harumph) are privy to information that we just to not have and thus know what is best...yadda, yadda, yadda. I no longer live in Alaska, but I follow what goes on there. I am unfortunate enough to have Sen Kyl to be directly concerned about. Thye one thing the republican members are failing to realize is that this is not something that will blow over with the passage of time. The will have to answer for it to the voters the next time around. For well established (entrenched) senators like Kyl, from high population areas, voting them out may be difficult. In places like Alaska it is certainly doable. I can tell you having lived in Alaska from 1974 ‘til 2004 that there is nothing weirder than politics in Alaska and perhaps it is just Alaska being the kind of place it is, politically. Too long a subject to really explain here, but any Alaskan reading this will likely know just what I mean. Long winters do make politics a sport in some ways. And people are passionate about politics. And a smaller population makes it more difficult for politicians to hide. However, Sen. Ted Stevens hanging on there term after term has amazed me for years.

Hey, all you incredibly dumb and uninformed Americans, I’m Lindsey Graham. I’m a really, really, REALLY smart lawyer from South Carolina.

Because I am from South Carolina, some of you uninformed BIGOTS might call me a “cracker.”

Actually, that suits me just fine because that would make me a Graham Cracker. So if you don’t like my position on immigration (often bent over Ted Kennedy’s desk), you can

BITE ME!
