Sadly I came to that conclusion a long time ago. The system has failed. Now there is very little left to distinguish between the two parties. None of them care about anything except for staying in power.

Starting tomorrow, it’s time to blitz McConnell’s with calls.

He needs to hear from us that the reason we have an illegal alien problem is not for lack of laws, but for lack of enforcement. Another law, nor matter how ‘comprehensive’ will not lead to more enforcement. With history as our guide, we can confidently say that it will most likely lead to LESS enforcement.

Bombard McConnell with those phone calls.

To paraphrase Virgil Sollozzo in “The Godfather”:

“It’s still alive. They hit it with five shots, and it’s still alive! Well that’s bad luck for me, and bad luck for you Senator if you make that deal!”

“I think the status quo is indefensible,” McConnell said. “The status quo is what’s produced 11 or 12 million illegal immigrants in the country with no real plan—a de facto amnesty if you will for those who are already here.”

They status quo is amnesty so they want to pass a law giving them amnesty. Genius....

There is still hope. Ronald Reagan came in at the right time in history. Hopefully, we will have the wisdom to select the right man again.

Ever stop and think that they know exactly what they are doing? That they know they are going to get booted out of office but don’t care. Maybe they know that what’s coming to this country in the near future, that they will now longer need “political” parties as long as they are lying in bed with the right “people”.

I pray with all my heart that you are right. I just hope there is something left for that person to salvage when he shows up. I had such high hopes for the current administration and they played us all for fools

>>McConnell?????????<<

Whenever I looked at Mitch McConnell, I used to take comfort and say, “There’s one Republican who is not a sellout and a worthless (fill in expletive).”

I hope I haven’t been wrong.

I used to like this guy. What the heck happened to him? Did the liberals spike the water with LSD? Maybe it’s the fluoride in his toothpaste?

We have reached the surreal in American politics, the active subjugation of the Republic by our REPUBLICAN leaders. But the big question we should be discussing is WHY? Some theories I’ve heard:

- Bush is sentimental about his Hispanic nurse-maids, and wants to bring in between 50 to 120 million Mexicans in honor of his memories of them.

- Bush is toadying up to the fatcats who own farms, convenience stores, chicken-processing plants, construction companies and lawn services to enrich them at our expense.

- Bush believes in the North American Superstate of Canada, the US and Mexico - and is implementing this plan in piecemeal fashion - first by intermingling US and Mexican populations. The rest of the plan would go down much easier after this nation-dissolving step. http://www.spp.gov/

Which theory makes the most sense? Or, are there other theories out there?

Boy was he right!

Uh, the "status quo", Senator, is that immigration laws already on the freaking books ARE NOT BEING ENFORCED. Therefore, ANY BILL that you and your cronies pass is simply a new punchline to an old joke. A very UNFUNNY punchline.

Sorry to yell, but this is really frustrating.

The Senators remind me of the proverbial lemmings, blindly going over the cliff. They are committing political suicide by backing this amnesty. They don't seem to care. The payoffs must be HUGE.

Absolutely. If there's one truthful thing in D.C., it's this: career politicians never act out of the goodness of their hearts.

Follow the money.

Yeah. In order to compete with the EU and China as they dump the dollar, as well as all the other alliances that are springing up, we have to form our own little strategic alliance. The power of three nations combined can do a better job of competing in the global market. All to compete with the future big dog, namely China when their economy really takes off. That’s my best guess.

You probably hit the nail on the head. The traitors will live behind high gates, and will not have to associate with the hordes of peons.

The selling of America continues.

I think you are absolutely right. In all fairness, I think that Bush believes that he is doing the right thing for America in the long run. However, I also believe that he has violated his oath of office - regarding his allegiance to the US and to the Constitution. But I think he truly believes, in his elitist philosophy, that he has the right to do this.

” There is something going on under the radar that the American public is not privy to. “

The politicians (Repub and Demo) who support this bill are thralls of the businesses that use illegal labor.

Sure, some special-interest immigrant groups are supporting it, but they are generally powerless. It’s the illegal business interests that support the immigrant groups, and that are pushing the politicians to support this bill.

I don’t think I’ve ever heard of a larger case of corruption in American history.
