Drunk on Amnesty Juice: Hangover Remedy is a House Special
Cross posted from CommonSenseAmerica
It’s not really a good idea to ignore the clear public will of the American voter but it seems that our Senate is out of control and under the influence of a foreign substance.
From The Washington Times
The Senate yesterday easily approved an immigration bill that allows 10 million illegal aliens to become citizens, doubles the flow of legal immigration each year and will cost U.S. taxpayers an estimated $54 billion over the next 10 years.
In the moments before the vote, Mr. Frist and about a dozen senators, from both parties, tearfully congratulated one another for all their hard work in producing the legislation.
After the vote, more than a dozen giddy lawmakers from both sides of the aisle gathered before television cameras to again commend one another.
Yes, like a group of drunken, rowdy teenagers, the Senate has decided they are no longer under the control of the American voter and we watched as they celebrated their bad behavior. Drunk with their perceived newfound freedom our Senators, like all children, have made some very immature and unwise decisions. And just like the teenager who decides to ignore the rules of his parents, the outcome is always self-destructive.
Sen. John Cornyn, Texas Republican, said yesterday he has been amazed by the Senate’s inability to do what voters clearly want.
“There seems to me to be a sense of surreality here, where people in the Senate just are not listening to what the American people are telling us,” he said. “We’ve tried, through the course of the amendments that have been offered that people standing here have offered, to highlight some of the problems that we have identified and which I believe are responsive to the concerns that we’ve heard from our constituents.”
Don’t worry, Mr. Cornyn. The American people are not only amazed, we are infuriated. And amnesty for these Senators will not be an option at the voting booths across America.
Americans now look to our House of Representatives to speak for us and remedy this ugly hangover.

It’ll be interesting to see how many of these senators are flat-lined at the booth when the final tally comes in. I think they’re all in for a big wake up call, including the GOP. We just had this happen in my state of PA. My brother is a political consultant, you can check out his site freepa.org and jasonhigh.freepa.org to get the idea. We just had our Republican primaries and we watch a bunch of incumbents, many of which served more than 30 years, get voted right out of office. Want to know how they felt? Shock and awe. Hey, when we vote for conservatives, we want them to act like conservatives. If not, we’ll vote them out. Luckily, the guy who my brother managed the campaign for, John Eichleberger, had a huge upset by defeating Bob Jubelirer, a guy who served PA for almost 40 years. Let that be a lesson to all Republicans out there who haven’t done anything to reach out to their conservative base, and decided rather to moderate.

How does Specter dodge getting booted? I always thought he was a moderate. Now, it looks like he is worse than a moderate.
The guy’s a twit, too.
Good thing your brother is on the inside, Tim! We need more pressure from witihin.

Fix: Specter is NOT moderate, he is a flaming liberal! I don’t know how he keeps avoiding the boot, but its not going to matter soon. (Rick Santorum, the icon of conservatism, pissed us all off by endorsing Specter for his role on the senate Judicial committee, arguably one of the most important positions in government) The other disaster we have waiting to happen is the Lynn Swann /Ed Rendell race for this November. Swann is a moron (He had to have Letterman tell him what the abortion law in PA was) but I’d rather have a dumb Steeler than Fast Eddie. We’re giving them all the boot. The only concern is the Santorum/Casey race. Bob Casey, a lib, has reached out to conservatives, by even stating that he is pro-life, and Santorum continues to try and moderate himself. My brother is suppose to meet with him in about a week and is going to tell him to be conservative and let us do the rest come November.
