The "Dirty Dozen" Senators:

Bennett (R-UT)
Craig (R-ID)
Graham (R-SC)
Gregg (R-NH)
Hagel (R-NE)
Kyl (R-AZ)
Lott (R-MS)
Lugar (R-IN)
Martinez (R-FL)
McCain (R-AZ)
Snowe (R-ME)
Specter (R-PA)


These are the only Republicans who voted to ram this SHAMnesty down the American people's throat.

These are the Republicans who voted to give 20,000,000 or more law-breaking foreigners a slap on the wrist and free pass to stay in this country as foriegn nationals... PERMANENTLY.

These are the Republicans who voted to give AUTOMATIC visas for hundreds of thousands of potential criminals and terrorists based on an insanely hobbled ONE-DAY background check.

These are the Republicans who voted to give amnesty even to known gang-members and fugitive absconders.

These are the Republicans who voted to allow illegal foriegners a free pass on paying any back-taxes they might owe - something no American citizen would EVER be eligible for if they defrauded the IRS for years on end.

These are the Republicans who voted to give illegal aliens access to monetary benefits and govt' subsidies that NOBODY else can qualify for, not even LEGAL immigrants or even American citizens!

These are the Republicans who chose to ignore the rule of law, surrender our national soveriegnty and security to Mexico and to perpetuate the irrational idea that our current immigration and employment laws are unenforceable, yet new ones that are even more convoluted and riddled with loopholes somehow ARE enforceable.

These are the Republicans who spit in the face of all legal immigrants, turned their backs on the overwhelming majority voice of their constituents, the American people and who who tried their hardest to sell the Big Lie that we "need" to pass this 600-page behemoth of federal red-tape called "Comprehensive Immigration Reform".

These are the Republicans who refused to support you and your interests and instead voted to support illegal aliens and their interests.

Remember these people when the time comes they'll be asking for YOU to support THEM in their next election.

I am glad those two in Georgia and Texas (among others) came around.

None of them are my senators, but I have always donated to the RNC, until now.

Arizona has a BIG housecleaning to do.

The president has said the last time a sweeping immigration bill was enacted, in 1986, the law failed because it did not secure U.S. borders, did not create a reliable system for employers to verify the legal status of their workers and encouraged more people to come to America illegally.

Lie, lie, lie.

The law failed because the US government, specifically the executive branch, has failed to make more than a token effort to enforce it. And congress, for that same period, has made no attempt to prod the executive branch into doing its Constitutional duty.

The law has failed because the US government does not want to stop illegals.

Even if this bill had been well written, it would still be worthless because they still wouldn't enforce border security.

They are just going to shove it down our throats in smaller doses.

We will see. The 2008 election is going to be a rude awakening for many of those who perped this atrocity. Now it will be an issue for the election which IS THE GOOD NEWS and that will wake up alot of complacent and ignorant voters.

“The immigration bill failed because the politicians in Washington are out of touch with the American people. The voice of the people is loud and clear - secure the border, enforce the law and no special deal for permanent residency or citizenship for illegals. America will always welcome legal immigration, but as a nation we also insist on the rule of law.”

Mitt Romney....June 28th 2007!

One would think these old washed up polidiots would have learned long ago ya can’t piss “into” the wind.........

Consider this as well.......... The illegals are being used as slave labor now without benefits by employers at very low to half of the minimum wage as “illegals” !

Now these hispandering / OTM loving polidiots want to legalize em........the “new citizens” will then have rights to sue for benefits and demand basic minimum wage for the job they land.

That INCREASE cost to the employer WILL be passed on to the consumer !

We can’t afford the fiscal drain on social services nor the increase across the board of ALL costs ! The trickle down won’t just be the polidiot piss we got this past few weeks in the form of this seditious immigration bill......it will be something we can not afford.

Recent fuel costs alone are a great burden on folks I work with. Add that to the costs of everything that is transported /manufactured with fuel consuming means and we be in for a depression of the likes no generation can stand or survive.........especially ours in it’s current PC/BS driven form.

We HAVE to fight this in every possible way, tooth and nail.

I am 100% in favor of controlled LEGAL immigration. We have to ensure that always exists vs this wildebeest border crossing free for all from every border in the CONUS vs just the southern one......

Go after the employers and the herd mentality will prevail as good forage is destroyed the illegals will go for greener pastures per se...........

Doom on the polidiots, the presstitutes and their seditious handlers that force this upon our republic, the stupid peons looking for a better life and dumb enough to come north via other than legal means of immigration and the American working taxpayer who votes !

Incumbents....dust off yer resumes as I will vote to put you back into the unemployment line this election.
