When I make them I always make more than I will eat and then freeze the extras. I just checked the freezer and found four, so I won’t be cooking them today ... maybe next Thursday or Friday.

Is there such a group, or is that a fabrication of Alex Jones and the ever crafty Jim Marrs?

I’ve come to believe that here is where the power lies.

The House conservatives are a unit and actively supporting their agenda. The caucus is called the RSC

>>I hope that it dies in the Senate, that would be the perfect ending. But I fear that a lot of Senators (a la Rand Paul and Lindsey Graham) have been bought off.

Yeah, it sure looks that way, but I have a feeling that the amendments voted on will be so egregious that the Rudio will step away from the table, conservatives will cheer him, and then Graham and the others will get the message.

Keep calling and emailing!

There you go. Great!

I’ve become a user of the freezer a lot more of late.

“...Rudio will step away from the table, conservatives will cheer him,...”
************************************************************************
Marco Rubio is forever dead to me at this point, I will NEVER cheer him.

I agree with you statement “Keep calling and emailing!” and hope that it will die in the Senate if we keep up the pressure. But my hope is minimal on that front.

I’m from Missouri on this one.

Especially after little Marco screamed “Enforcement first” and lied his butt off.

I’m quite sure a majority of the Republicans support it.

Looks like the Hastert Rule conference was a success for conservatives.

I don’t know. They rushed it through cloture because they realized that people do not like this bill and they’re trying to get it passed as quickly as possible before the backlash begins. We’ve passed the ignore and ridicule stages.They’ve started the protest (fight) stage by calling up ACORN. Unfortunately for them, this only gets people more involved.

I think that the word is getting out that this bill is a monstrosity.

The bill weighs 24 pounds, that weight is equal to 3 gallons of milk.
