GOP leader McConnell says he's undecided [on Amnesty]

"Grand Bargainers......be advised you are gambling everything you have on the very bad bet that we are as stupid as you want us to be."

Also an indication of how Mexica tribes agitating for amnesty (and US government freebies) perceive Americans.

[Liz]

I tried to fax his office .......After maybe ten attempts over several hours, the line was endlessly busy. I finally got a ring, but it just kept ringing for several minutes and then disconnected.

Better idea: send him a gift certificate for a Taco Bello burrito---and tell him where to stuff it.

If McConnell votes yes on cloture then no on the final bill as it still passes then he hasn't fooled anyone, despite what he thinks.

Vote no on cloture and kill the bill.

[Theodore R.]

McConnell is undercutting Fletcher for governor too, but Fletcher is a lost cause, and with his demise (and Bunning being on his last legs in the Senate), McC will again be the KY GOP “Kingfish”, which is the way he likes it.

[Theodore R.]

I don’t think Specter will run again either. And Demos are so strong in PA that holding Specter’s seat will be very tough in the year 2010.

Doublethink: “The power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one’s mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them. ... To tell deliberate lies while genuinely believing in them, to forget any fact that has become inconvenient, and then, when it becomes necessary again, to draw it back from oblivion for just so long as it is needed, to deny the existence of objective reality and all the while to take account of the reality which one denies—all this is indispensably necessary. Even in using the word doublethink it is necessary to exercise doublethink. For by using the word one admits that one is tampering with reality; by a fresh act of doublethink one erases this knowledge; and so on indefinitely, with the lie always one leap ahead of the truth.”

[Theodore R.]

Could also be that GWB has given “free passes” to your GA senators so they can vote against cloture. GWB may already have the 60 or 61 votes he needs without them. That may also explain Hutchison’s decision to vote against cloture.

[Theodore R.]

I may be that KY people aren’t calling that much to McC for they think illegals is an issue in the border states with Mexico and not the old border states of North and South.

[Theodore R.]

Yes, McC also undercut the South African government in 1985. He supports ERA. His wife works for GWB. He is like Lindsey Graham and Sam Brownback an “open borders” person.

[Travis McGee]

Mitch had better decide right, if he wants to stay in congress.

[F.J. Mitchell]

Let me help you make up your mind Senator. A large majority of those who put you in office rabidly and rightly oppose this written by imbeciles amnesty bill. Do you represent them or the invaders? Is your responsibility toward the USA or Mexico? Do you prefer bourbon or tequila?

[Suzy Quzy]

START OVER McCONNELL!! This is a HIDEOUS bill and will RUIN the Republican PArty for DECADES!!!

[RockinRight]

Actually, that’s not a bad idea. We could do something like that, inspired by Tancredo, and send it to every Senator and Congresscritter that supports this.

And, even W himself should get one.

[HigherEducationOutrage]

Amnesty Is Treason

[Liz]

I tried to fax McConnell's office ....... but it just kept ringing for several minutes and then disconnected.

RockinRight to Liz: Actually, that’s not a bad idea. We could do something like that, inspired by Tancredo, and send it to every Senator and Congresscritter that supports this. And, even W himself should get one.

========================================================

Yeah, after I posted the idea, I was thinking I should ping our expert FR photoshoppers to come up with a downloadable version that we could mail to Congress---and whomever.

Something like this: "Here's your Taco Hell gift certificate for a free burrito----and you know where you can stuff it."

[RockinRight]

Could you imagine if every one of them got 10,000 of these?

[Liz]

That would be some smokin’ message.

[nyconse]

I wrote him an email...I had to come up with a Kentucky address-I am in Georgia. I told him that a vote for cloture is a vote for the bill period and it would be a shame for this to end his career given his track record and thus provide an unwanted legacy. Those of you in Kentucky, keep emailing and calling.

[nyconse]

Take a ride down to Georgia-this is a southern issue as well as an American issue. No state will be safe from the effects of this bill.
