Why are we not concerned about our northern border too?

I hate to say it, but is it a racial thing? I mean, if we want to protect our country it seems we would want to protect both borders and both coasts.

As if it were an issue Congress could solve if those goofballs would just work together. Migration is about as easy to control as our national economy.

And the overarching message–it’s all Congress’ fault. And it’s an issue Congress can solve.

Do you think we can find enough people to read them instead of the ones who believe we are sheep?

Oh - the Coke’s still good!

Bingo..I wish some others would learn that it is best to hold your fire until all the facts come out in the wash and the votes are tallied. It is okay to have an opinion on anything but to set out to ruin careers because you disagree with a particular politician or the position they hold on an issue is childlike.

Heck, I’ve got Arlen Specter, plenty to disagree with there and have but I would never call for his resignation, recall etc., as there are many others in this state who like and admire the man. They too are entitled to their opinion.

I was certain I was not going to ask people to not vote for certain senators because they voted for cloture on Tuesday.

I thought this was a bad bill because it was done in a back room and not done the way bills are usually done. There should have been committee hearings in the open with the Senators listening to their constituents’ opinions, even if they eventually disregarded them.

The bill should have passed a committee and been referred to the floor and debated along with any amendments put forth. This would have made for a stronger bill, but instead we had people go behind our backs and write a 400 page bill without having time to have anyone read and digest its contents.

Amendments were all meant to be tabled in the clay pigeon tactic, and when one of them didn’t get tabled it meant they had to call for cloture so they couldn’t debate the bill.

This is not the way legislation is supposed to be made, and if it had gone through the regular process we may have had the foundations for a bill that could have been a good start to build on in future years.

I am not rejoicing it didn’t pass, but I’m not sorry about it either. I’m just tired of all the fair weather conservatives who are breaking their arms today patting themselves on the back when yesterday they were slandering our president and any senator who voted for the first cloture.

I hope you did not choke, I would not want to feel responsible. LOL

I said that because if those who were “classless” on this issue find a distaste for the Republican candidate they will do the same as they did in 2006 and I fear many will heed their words and either stay home or vote for a third party candidate out of spite.

I also read many who handled this with class and will continue to read them. I just have never been one to attack something with which I disagree unless I feel I could offer a viable solution. That does not mean I feel this bill should have passed, it just means I like to at least try to give some credit to those who tried to solve a problem this country has faced for some 40 years.

Hope now you can enjoy the rest of that coke.

I wonder, though, if some conservatives realize they were acting exactly the same as the people at the DU and Daily Kos?

Some opposed this bill with class. Others… completely classless.
