#1 Though US voters had a slightly different view.

#2 I just wrote George Bush a long letter telling him that his immigration policy was a disaster that was going to send the Republicans back into the political wilderness for a long time. For the last two years every Republican fundraiser who has called me has been told that until the Republicans bluntly agree to stop illegal immigration they can forget about receiving one dime of my money. The selective enforcement of the laws is destroying what is left of America. It's terribly sad to know that, when it comes to politics, my money would be better spent buying guns, ammunition and provisions.

#3 DMFD - The Senate doesn't give a shit about US Voters - this Amnesty program proves it.

#4 So the wetbacks think it's a great idea, Fox thinks it's a great idea, Ted Kennedy thinks it's a great idea.
So it must be a great idea.
Right?

#5 "Only if they put up an electric fence will it stop someone."

Well, Jorge...that's not a bad idea. No wait...that would comprimise your rights. And with the last minute Spector ammendment the Mexican Govt. would have to allow the US to do it. Nevermind...keep trying...besides, like you say...you have "no other choice".

#6 Send washington to Mexico. They seem so enthralled with it anyway.

#8 CrazyFool - you're right (why am I agreeing with someone who calls themselves 'CrazyFool'?) Anyway, in November, the voters get to return the favor.

#9 Just read that Jimmy Carter thinks it's a great idea too.
So it must be a great idea.
Right?

#12 Dunno, thinks it's some kind of keywords thingie, it has happened to me a coupe of time, or perhaps it's just a fluke. I don't think the mods are on a Jihad(Tm) after you.

#13 Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean the moderators not out to get you.

#15
Hmmmm! I'm wondering if it was the Water+Tree of Liberty+Blood of Internal Traitors/Tyrants remark that tripped the filters?

Oh well...I shall moderate my comments a little better myself.

#16 Here's how they voted, if anyone's curious. I already know how my two clowns went...

#17 All we have to do is financially support anyone running against those who supported the "Wetbacks can keep their SS even though it's on my SSN" bill
when they come up for election in 2008 or 2010.
That kind of spanking would change American politics for decades to come.

#18 The problem with "voting the Repuglycon jerks out" is that the dummycritters will likely win in their place - and they're the majority that believe that amnesty and open borders are "just fine". There aren't a lot of good choices out there. It's either find someone you can trust and herd them through the primaries, or find some other way to get rid of the deadwood. A chain saw strikes me as being one good solution.

#19 Yep. Consider who takes over some rather important congressional committees next time you get a hairball about the Pubs not meeting your personal private Schedule of What's Important.

House
-----
Government Reform - Henry Waxman
International Relations - Tom Lantos
Judiciary - John Conyers
Ways and Means - Charles Rangel
Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence - Jane Harman

Senate
------
Appropriations - Robert Byrd
Armed Services - Carl Levin
Foreign Relations - Joe Biden
Judiciary - Pat Leahy
Select Committee on Intelligence - John D Rockefeller

Consider the damage that can, and would, be done in just 2 years.

It doesn't get any stupider than shooting everyone else between the eyes because you're impatient and have an itch between your ~~cheeks~~ ears. This shit is important.
