Republicans Kill Ensign Amendment
Written by Sam on May 20th, 2006The Ensign Amendment would have stopped immigrants with a Social Security Number from receiving credit on taxes paid into the system while working as an illegal resident. This is just simple common sense, which is of course why it escaped the senses of those in D.C. While Social Security is already a broken system and Congress is going to be unable to meet its promise to my own generation, they now refuse to stop illegal aliens from claiming its benefits? Words don’t exist to describe the outrage you should be feeling right now.
Republicans against the amendment:
Lincoln Chafee (Remember the millions spent by Liddy Dole to get him reelected this year)
Mike DeWine (He is now trailing his Democratic challenger in Ohio and deserves to lose)
George Voinovich (RINO)
Sam Brownback (Very disappointing)
Chuch Hagel (RINO)
Richard Lugar (RINO)
Ted Stevens (I guess he thinks illegals can build his Bridge to Nowhere instead)
Arlen Specter (Snarlin’ Arlen?? Get Out)
John McCain ( Of course! I seriously don’t believe this guy is trying to run for President. This has got to be joke)
Republicans know they’re in trouble this year, but they apparently don’t know why. November will come quick guys and a lot of you had better start packing up.

Any advantage the GOP may have gained as a majority has been and remains short-circuited by these (Republicans In Name Only) RINOs. This immigration debate has really brought out who the RINOs are and they must be marked for deletion. We can only hope that the House GOP kills any Amnesty / Guest Worker abomination that may come out of the Sentate.
If they do, then those of us on the Right need to spread the word to help make sure that GOP voters do not visit their anger on their friends in the House. The real targets of their anger are properly in the Senate and White House.

Come on! We need John McCain to win the presidency in 2008. Even though I am much more conservative than he is, he is definitely honest, and energetic enough to revitalize the GOP. Even if he’s a social moderate, he’ll really CUT THE PORK!!!
