How does that explain Hannity and Rush calling this a 'democrat' bill?

I haven't been following Hannity and Rush, but what you describe sounds like they're trying to cover for Jorge much as the LeftistMedia covers/distorts for the Demrats.

Rush HAS discussed his disbelief that W is for this awful bill. Rush has tied it primarily to Kennedy because Kennedy has been involved in bad immigration legislation since the 1960's. My bewilderment stems from the fact that W keeps going to Kennedy, a man that said America has reopened Saddam's torture chambers under new management in light of the Abu Ghraib photos.

But Hannity has been all over this like flies on crap. He has criticized everyone. He went toe to toe with Tony Snow and Chertoff. IMO, Chertoff should be canned immediately. We cannot wait 18 months for this man to be replaced. He has had funds available for months now to start building the 700 miles of fence.

What amazes me in this whole debate is that the White House and many Senators could not understand one of our biggest concerns which is the fact that we wanted them to demonstrate that they would close our borders FIRST so that in the event that a lousy bill gets signed, we will at least not have another 12-20 million illegals pouring over our border. This is the part that was not done MANY times in the past and the reason why we are even having this debate now. If our Government would have followed through on Kennedy's promise made in 1986, "This amnesty will give citizenship to only 1.1 to 1.3 million illegal aliens. We will secure the borders henceforth. We will never again bring forward another amnesty bill like this", things may be different today.

But the reality is that people of this country are sick and tired of double-speak. They are tired of hearing one thing and then getting another. They are tired of politicians who make it to Washington and then try to screw the American people through legislation. They are tired of dealing with politicians who try to exact revenge on us for some personal reason, like they were denied the Presidency.

Here is a great thread on the 50 years of immigration failures surrounding Ted Kennedy and others: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/1836487/posts
