Senate conservatives have been warned by Republican leaders that they must either accept a series of largely symbolic floor votes on a handful of amendments to the immigration reform legislation or see themselves shut out of the process altogether when the chamber resumes work on the bill later this year, GOP lawmakers and aides said Tuesday...
Whatever it takes to kill it is fine with me. Go for it Harry.
All I hear in the media and everywhere is bashing of the GOP while giving Democrats who are for Amnesty a pass.
Well if you look at the last vote that actually counted Democrat senators voted at 86% to pass this Amnesty bill and Republican Senators voted at least 86% to kill this Amnesty Bill. These R Senators should be thanked not bashed and supported. The GOP is opposing Bush
Only 8 out of 50-51 democrat senators voted to kill this bill. that's 86% Democrat Senators for Amnesty for illegals
Only 7 out of 49 Republican senators voted not to kill this bill. That's 86% Republican Senators against Amnesty for illegals..
This Amnesty bill would destroy the U.S.A by bringing in the family members of the illegals who would get Amnesty. this Amnesty bill would reward criminals who have invaded our country and in many cases stolen our Identities, murdered Americans, not paid taxes , joined gangs etc
Bush does not equal the GOP. Bush is just one more liberal who calls himself a Republican. I sent him an email that i will work blogging all over the Internet for his impeachment for crusading for this Amnesty.
Can we get the names of those "Republican leaders" releasing those "warnings", because I'd sure like to see American Patriots begin "contacting" those traitorous bastards.
Linsey Graham! SHUT UP, you BIGOT!

Weiner is a liberal trojan horse. GOP and Republican senators who stopped this Amnesty and who are holding up against all the pressure to change their vote should be supported and thanked. Weiner doesn't want the senators supported cause he wants this Amnesty to pass just like when Weiner called for the Resignation of Hastert during the last election which helped Democrats gain power.

Here’s the entire article which after reading, I quickly called McConnell’s office and told him that I didn’t like my conservative senators threatened and that if he wants a fight, he’s got it.
“Senate conservatives have been warned by Republican leaders that they must either accept a series of largely symbolic floor votes on a handful of amendments to the immigration reform legislation or see themselves shut out of the process altogether when the chamber resumes work on the bill later this year, GOP lawmakers and aides said Tuesday. The warning came as President Bush met privately with Senate Republicans in an effort to restart immigration talks that stalled last week after a failed effort by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) to end debate on the controversial measure,” Roll Call reports
“Although Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), Minority Whip Trent Lott (R-Miss.) and other leaders voted against several cloture motions late last week, they are pressing their Members to accept a deal under which Republicans could offer about a dozen amendments with a set time for debate. But leadership also has made it clear that if conservatives do not agree to the deal, they run the risk of losing their seat at the negotiating table.”
Seems we Conservatives issued an ultimatum last week.
I guess we need to speak a bit louder.
—or pretend like they’ve bought this so they can defy their constituents?
Exactly what they are going to do.
Lindsay doesn’t need Rush’s help. his wounds are self inflicted.
How exactly? Jeb’s not in office now and after the utter failures of 41 and 43 the only way he gets in the WH is with a visitor’s pass.
These are people who hold green cards and who are going back and forth across the border every day, people who live in Mexico and work in California, Arizone, New Mexico and Texas, and also live in Canada and work in U.S. In El Paso, there are thousands of people, probably hundreds of thousands, who have something called a border crossing card. This isn’t 500 million DIFFERENT people, it is 500 million border crossings. It is relatively easy to count heads going back and forth across the bridge.

Only 7 out of 49 Republican senators voted not to kill this bill. That's 86% Republican Senators against Amnesty for illegals. And Weiner ("Michael savage") says Republicans are the same as Democrats.So Weiner is caught lying again and his communist,Berkley,San Fransisco, liberal roots are exposed.
Why isn't Michael Weiner ("Savage") thanking the GOP? Weiner is a liberal Trojan horse. GOP and Republican senators who stopped this Amnesty and who are holding up against all the pressure to change their vote should be supported and thanked.

Yep. He's fragged himself.
Is one of these “Republican Leaders” Mitch McConnell? He’s up for reelection in ‘08 and I can guarantee you he can kiss his seat goodbye if he is one of them.
This madness is getting out of hand!
One million people, a huge truck with a shredder in front of the Hill, and a loud demand for the bill to be shredded right away will end this. If these empty suits want circus then, let them have it.
“or see themselves shut out of the process altogether when the chamber resumes work on the bill later this year,”
Riggghhtt...
like the group of 14 didn’t act the same,
and as if they will bring this up again later in the year...not.
If it passed, it is time for all those that supported it to resign immediately.
Absolutely! I agree 500%. Sign me up.
