Immigration Bill Dead!
Written by Sam on June 28th, 2007The 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.The bill’s supporters fell 14 votes short of the 60 needed to limit debate and clear the way for final passage of the legislation, which critics assailed as offering amnesty to illegal immigrants. The vote was 46 to 53 in favor of limiting the debate.
Senators in both parties said the issue is so volatile that Congress is highly unlikely to revisit it this fall or next year, when the presidential election will increasingly dominate American politics.
Woohoo! And We the People prevail. According to Senator Jeff Sessions, the switchboard in the Senate buildings went down due to an overflow of telephone calls from angry constituents.

We dodged a bullet. Now the issue will be tabled for at least 2 years until after the ‘08 election.

Great, you’re still wrong on the issue. There is nothing conservative about demonizing immigrants to the United States.
And there is especially nothing conservative about comparing them to animals.

It’s conservative to expect people to obey the law.

Joe the only one who compared illegals to animals was Trent Lott who said Mexicans were like goats trying to cross through an electric fence.
I think you are disgusting for trying to hint that we are bigots. You would never do that to someones’ face, don’t let the blog format give you false courage.

Are you a bigot?

No. Whatever gave you that idea? And like I said before, in person you wouldn’t say that to me. I think people that like to call out others as bigots/racists without providing solid evidence lack a certain moral fiber. If you have evidence that any of us are actually bigots and are motivated by a hatred of Mexicans and other non-white immigrants, then provide it. If not, then stop insulting us. It demeans us, it demeans you, it cheapens the political dialouge, and it ignores actual racism/bigotry by the pro-immigration groups such as La Raza which the vast majority of Americans have responded to with dignity that isn’t deserved by that pack of anti-white bastards.

Joe, you’re a complete demagogue. You’re using the tactics of the Left, and by so doing you’re demonizing people of good will–scores of millions of them. Decent conservatives, ones who don’t get off on baseless accusations of bigotry, should do everything they can to distance themselves from you.
