Immigration Bill dead as a doornail
Ding, dong, shamnesty’s dead (for now).
The Senate drove a stake Thursday through President Bush’s plan to legalize millions of unlawful immigrants, likely postponing major action on immigration until after the 2008 elections.
Responding to a stinging political setback, President Bush sounded resigned to defeat.
‘’Legal immigration is one of the top concerns of the American people, and Congress’ failure to act on it is a disappointment,’’ Bush said after an appearance in Newport, R.I.. ‘’The American people understand the status quo is unacceptable when it comes to our immigration laws. A lot of us worked hard to see if we couldn’t find common ground. It didn’t work.’’
My God, it really is true isn’t it? My President is an idiot. The American people understand the status quo is unacceptable, and that your plan was 180 degrees in the wrong direction, Dubya. You friggin’ ‘tard. Most Americans did find common ground. Left, right and center, the majority of us agreed that your bill sucked hairy hog balls.
George W. Bush. Constantly and forever snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
Oh and also, it was nice of Lindsey Graham to try to paint everyone who opposes shamnesty as racists. Again.
“There’s racism in this debate,” Mr. Graham said. “Nobody likes to talk about it, but a very small percentage of people involved in this debate really have racial and bigoted remarks. The tone that we create around these debates, whether it be rhetoric in a union hall or rhetoric on talk radio, it can take people who are on the fence and push them over emotionally.”
Thanks, Linds. I really appreciate being tarred and feathered by the words of one or two kooks out of the hundred of millions of Americans who all banded together to tell you this bill was a sham.

I had a much quicker way to kill the bill and to show the libs true intent. An amendment saying that if you entered the country illegally, although you can get a work permit etc, you may never become a citizen and may never vote but you can stay.
The Dems would have killed the bill in an instant and the R’s wouldn’t have looked so stupid. Oh well, at least Mr. Reid is getting the same treatment he gave the Republicans when he was in the minority. It’s nice to see him fail over and over again!

At Ace of Spades HQ, they had been mentioning opposition to this piece of shit in the range of 60% to 70%. Color me absolutely Shocked that the media never referred to it as an “unpopular” bill.

I was actually surprised. I thought enough of those shitheads in congress would buy into whatever crap the President and whomever else really supported that bill said.
Thankfully Bush will be gone in a year and half. Can’t say the same about those other shits.

Now if we can just get a bill passed that would get all the ILLEGAL immigrants back home and make them go through the process legally....and at the back of the line of those who are trying to do itlegally.
I’m glad that the shamnesty is dead. I don’t want anyone here illegally getting a “deal” on doing it the right way.
