Who Killed DREAM? The Tea Party Did (1 vote away from Amnesty!)

Newsweek ^ | Dec 19, 2010 | Mickey Kaus

1) It was "closer than it looked"—not because Harry Reid had 59 votes secretly locked up if he could only have gotten one more (though that's possible) but because if one or two senators had ostentiously switched in the weeks leading up to the vote then "at least three other votes would have gone with them and we would have lost."

..... "Translation:The Tea Parties did it."

[Kimberly GG]

Let’s just hope that 2012 doesn’t bring us yet another ‘path to citizenship’, ‘compassionate’ progressive conservative that we are going to find ourselves doing battle with over this issue and, instead, someone who will IMMEDIATELY, effectively secure our borders and win attrition through enforcement of our current immigration laws. Ending birthright citizenships would be a huge plus!

We must find THAT candidate NOW.

[GeronL]

lol!

[ratsreek]

It wasn’t a battle. It was just a skirmish.

As long as RINOs roam, we are all in danger.

I love the Tea Parties and what they are doing. We are living at a time when, for whatever reason, women, often instead of men, are taking the bull by the horns - probably at least partially due to the deliberate ans systematic emasculation of America. Nevertheless, God bless the Tea Parties. And to their credit, they have stayed away from centralization or becoming a distinct party.

The point here is that the LibTards try anything they can to marginalize these results including trying to make it seem like smoke and mirrors by some faction called the Tea Parties. As they have done before, the Tea Parties in the wake of victories should (and I'm sure are) be saying this very thing: "This is the American People at work, we're just a vehicle to get it done." This is the way Reagan always characterized his efforts - it wasn't phony - he really believed his victories were victories for America and the American people and he didn't care who got the credit. The liberals don't like being characterized as going against the Ameican People.

There was about three words spelled incorrectly in this article.

[the invisib1e hand]

Thx. I ripped it off from a comic I heard on, of all places, a public radio station.

[WOSG]

“Manchin was scared to death about DADT and DREAM ACT.”

Wasn’t Manchin a no-show on DADT? If Manchin killed it, the libs would have killed him. So he was a ‘dont ask dont tell’ vote.

DREAM? Well thank goodness for cowardice in the Senate for once. If these clowns didnt fear re-election defeat it would have passed.

We have just begun to fight. The sleeping giant is awake and will build exponentially up to November 6, 2012 - and beyond.

America - steel yourself and prepare for the big fight. This is about the survival of the USA and truly, that of Western Civilization.

[Nuc 1.1]

Even PBS is getting the idea? We must be in more serious trouble than I thought.

[stephenjohnbanker]

” Disgusting that this vote was even this close. There are far too many traitors serving in our Congress.”

No joke, brother!

[Tennessean4Bush]

Yes. Brown, Kirk and Maine sisters all opposed DREAM ACT.

Watch out with your reporting of simple facts. If people on this board think for a moment that you might be proposing that it is better to have these "RINOs" than a Democrat towing the party line then you will be shouted off the forum.

The “hunters” will become the “hunted”.>>>>>>>

God willing, YES! Plus lets admit the awful economy has focused people’s minds. While not enough illegals have been forced out during this recession. Make it so all employee SS numbers must be verified and we’ll get rid of half the illegal aliens

[Redcloak]

I’d call this a “dream come true”.

[at bay]

In my local paper today, hoardes of protesters, labeled “undocumented students” protested the vote. Can anyone tell me how long it would take Mexican authorities to arrest illegals protesting about ANYTHING in their country? If you answer more than 10 minutes, you’re DREAMing!

[SunkenCiv]

Thanks heiss.

Immigration / Amnesty:

• The Dream Act is NOT Dead (Hidden in Other Bill)
• Republicans block youth immigration bill (Completely Biased News)
• Sarrazin earns millions with anti-immigration book

[the invisib1e hand]

I honestly don't know how to interpet it. I think they're all totally bewildered. But this comic was riffing on "news that isn't," a bunch one liners that were supposed to be headlines. He says, "dream act to give Obama citizenship" and the crowd nearly roared. It was definitely his best laugh.

So what's a poor boy to do but rip it off?

[upchuck]

Poorly written article.

What does the word ostentiously mean?

This article is based on a much better article from Numbers USA.

[ICCtheWay]

No - better - “The Dingo ate my Baby”... hehehehe

“I have nothing against some form of legal immigration”

“I’d support a candidate who calls for shutting the door. No legal immigration for at least twenty years. Sorry, Mister But I’m a Phd! Mister Drug Mule-slash-Drunk Driver-slash-Child Rapist-slash-Terrorist wrecked it for all of you. Go home.”

Exactly right, Blue Ink.

LEGAL immigration is hurting us almost as much as ILLEGAL immigration. If anyone doesn’t see the demographic timebomb caused by legal immigration, they need to go to NumbersUSA.com and do their homework.

We have to stop ALL illegal immigration and sharply reduce legal immigration.

[Democrat_media]

Yes you are right they love their democrats/marxists on this forum, not all but many do.
