Its Over- We Won!

The American people prevailed today over a Senate majority Leader and a President hell bent on ramming an amnesty bill through the Senate. Today’s effort to bring the bill to cloture failed. All of us kind of held our breath. We didn’t know what kind of back room deals were offered and how hard they would twist the fence sitter’s arms. Whatever took place with this bastard of a bill, it was the epitome of an elitist government trying to ram something down our throats. It didn’t work. When it was finally killed, A huge, collective sigh of relief was heard across the country.
In the end, the President blew a lot of political capital that wasn’t really necessary. Sadly, it will be remembered as Bush’s Bill, even though Reid and Kennedy had their grimy and slimy paws all over it. It’s the way politics work. Reid and Kennedy will have to answer to no one.
As far as McCain and Brownback are concerned, they should be calling in their Presidential election staffs to thank them and hand out the pink slips. There is no way in hell they will ever be elected President as a Republican. Unfortunately, Obama and Chelsea’s Mama will get a pass along with Dirty Harry and Chappaquiddick Ted. The Democrats don’t really care, they just want one of their own and everything is probably already forgotten and forgiven. Many leftists were against this, but not on the same level as most conservatives.
We can’t let up. We cannot let them berate us with the “racist” label. It isn’t about where they come from, it’s how they got here. It’s a nuance that most leftists can’t comprehend.
I don’t believe this bill is really dead. I believe it’s in a coma, waiting to be slipped through in a defense appropriation or some other vital legislation. It might even be resuscitated in exchange for a Supreme Court Justice if a vacancy comes up.
We have every right and reason to celebrate our success today, but we do so with the knowledge that this is far from over. We must remain vigilant lest these scalawags try to slip it by us in some other form or for some kind of back room deal. VWThis was a production of The Coalition Against Illegal Immigration (CAII).
