Here we are again my friends, hopefully for the last debate thread on this particular monstrous legislation. Proceedings are supposed to begin at 9:30 a.m. EST, with the cloture vote being taken at 10:30 a.m.

On a personal note, you've all been wonderful in your passion, vigilance, and commitment to the principles on which our country was founded. If I have to be in a foxhole, I want to be in it with you guys.

Specter - ANOTHER disaster we can thank W for

A$$hole Spincter just commended the “swimmer” on his diatribe.!

Oh my, CAluv... that’s despicable. I know you see these things firsthand. That will be this entire country if this bill isn’t killed. We’ll fight to make things better in your backyard!

No point hitting Cochran anymore. He just announced on the floor that he’ll vote against cloture. Keep hitting the other RINOs and Bush supporters. Direct your focus toward WH lackey, Mitch McConnell.

LOVE YOUR GIF....mind if I steal that?

Durbin’s up for Reeelection in 2008 too—put a bullseye on him

Oh, Gawd, how I wish we could. If we had a state GOP worth a crap in this state, maybe, just maybe, it could happen.

[American Quilter]

Thanks!!!

Hello? Hello?!?!?!?

[Red_Devil 232]

Yes it is.

[rjp2005]

Booooo Mel!!!!

I guess I traded his Pro-Life votes in exchange for him voting in Favor of this Shamnesty in electing Mel.

Fine - they’re not enough? Then make a better bill, but this one ain’t it!

[manonfire]

Talk about twisting of words...Making this issue RACIAL is insulting to all of us..

[Fudd Fan]

Sessions has the “legal chops” and then some. He’s wonderful.

[truthkeeper]

Martinez: "Vote for cloture now, they will be time to address the bill further." (paraphrased)

Translation: "We're the government. Trust us."

[mainepatsfan]

Thanks President Bush for supporting Specter in his primary fight. Thanks a lot. /major sarcasm

[freespirited]

Martinez: “The current laws arent good enough to be enforced.”

And to think I rooted for this idiot.

[seekthetruth]

Love Senator Sessions! Wish I could trade Martinez for him, but that would certainly be very mean to the folks in Alabama!

[cajungirl]

Teddy is pretending we don’t accept immigrants; we do. We just don’t like a hundred million flooding in and we don’t like lawbreakers.

This is very enlightening. Jeff Sessions is a hero. And Louisiana’s Vitter has a future.
