Good point.
Most now realize, if this is not stopped, we are looking at tens of millions of their relatives to join the 25 million illegal aliens already here.
They are not interested in enforcement first. Actually, they are not interested in enforcement ever.
Somehow I don’t think Reid will get 25 Republicans to go along with this bill!
Consider: Signed a bill saying he thought part of it was unconstitutional...after taking an oath to uphold same.
His current actions don't seem out of character at all.
Keep calling. Make the cowards feel the heat, and thank the good ones!!!
Can you expand on this? 25 R senators can force a change leadership? Even if it's "only a symbolic vote" and we get 23, I'd be happy it happened.
Heheheh, for the most part they do (and really are). How did the Republican party swell its ranks all through the nineties on into 2002 and on up but through the 'Big Tent' open door policy where Demoncraps found the only way to get elected to any office was to abandon their sinking ship party and change parties, to the glee of most moderate, aka liberal and unprincipled, Republicans. We're now paying the price for that foolishness.
He's a compassionate conservative. We're all just hardhearted bigots.
I don't know if the distaste that goes with compassonate comes through, so I want to make it very clear that it cause a very very painful, sickened look on my face when I say that.
The party left me in 1992 and I left them in 1996.
We got to watch out for Bush though as he’s twisting arms as we speak.
I've got their warning.... right here!
Throw the RINO bastards out!
Bush has always favored what could be called an open border and in truth it isn’t that different from what Reagan supported when he signed Simpson-Mazzoli in the mid 1980’s. We need to defeat the current attempt at “fast track” legalization by keeping the pressure on those Senators and Representatives that tip the balance. The ONLY hope we have of preventing it in the next administration is by electing a Republican Conservative like Thompson, Hunter, or Romney(?) that will veto any attempt at this type of “reform” in the near future.
There’s 49 GOP Senators so 25 is what they’d need to change the leadership. I would imagine they have a procedure for recalling them though I seriously doubt it’ll happen. It would be nice if it did, especially if they keep making their threats.
Duncan Hunter is great, but I think he'll die the death of a thousand cuts from all of his House votes....his conservatism is very appealing, though!
At least we KNEW what the libs were when we voted them in - Bush on the other hand, proved a real Judas on more than a number of issues, this one the most outstanding.
More than ever before its essential to contact your legislators and WARN them that if they DARE to support this bill, they will be voted out of office - one way or the other - in the primary or general elections.
They must be “taught” that public opinion and the views of their ocnstituetns MUST be honored or their will be consequences.
Bush knows he can walk away fr=om this act of treason and not face any consequences. Our professional politicians in Congress are not in the same boat.
The conservatives should be “warning” the RINOS, Dems and Bushbots that they will pay at the polls for caving in to special interest groups and refusing to listen to their constituents - the American voters.
“The alternative to Bush was Gore and Kerry. “
Pathetic, isn’t it?
Bush has been an unmitigated catastrophe in his second term.
Open borders is treason.
If the Republicans in Congress can’t produce a majority of their constituency to vote in opposition to this horrendous Kennedy-McCain contrived bill, if they fail to confront a lame duck President with near record low approval ratings, if they support a measure which every Republican candidate for President except one has distanced themselves from, if they lack the guts and spine and gonads to defy the Democrat Majority in Congress on this subject, if they ignore the overwhelming opposition of Americans from every part of the political spectrum on this subject - they are not fit to remain a viable political force in America. And they won’t.
I’m a Reagan Conservative who supported him on Iran-Contra and in nearly everything he did. I voted Republican for my entire lifetime of voting - registered Republican since Reagan ran against Ford in a presidential primary. I supported the present incumbet in his Presidential campaigns both times around. I have contributed to Duncan Hunter and Fred Thompson’s political campaigns and I would vote for Mit Romney - but with great reluctance. NONE of the other candidates running have a chance or seriously represent Republican principles.
But if those Congressional Republican Rascals fold like a cheap deck of cards to this President on this subject, I will be very actively working for a third political party to replace them.
