The first cloture vote passed. Amnesty for tens of millions of criminals is quickly becoming a reality.

64 wicked, evil, immoral, selfish, unAmerican traitors have sold us out to Mexico. DAMN!

WASHINGTON (AP) - The Senate voted Tuesday to jump-start a stalled immigration measure to legalize millions of unlawful immigrants.

President Bush said the bill offered a “historic opportunity for Congress to act,” and appeared optimistic about its passage by week’s end.

The pivotal test-vote was 64-35 to revive the divisive legislation. It still faces formidable obstacles in the Senate, including bitter opposition by GOP conservatives and attempts by some waverers in both parties to revise its key elements.

This is a breaking news update. Check back soon for further information. AP’s earlier story is below.

WASHINGTON (AP)—The Senate conducted a pivotal vote Tuesday on whether to jump-start a stalled bill for giving legal status to millions of immigrants now in the U.S. unlawfully.

The vote began shortly after noon EDT on whether to revive the legislation after support for it faltered three weeks ago. President Bush was optimistic that supporters would succeed and by week’s end actually pass the bill, which is one of his top domestic priorities.

“We’ll be moving our attention to the House after the Senate passes this comprehensive piece of legislation,” he told business leaders and representatives of religious, Hispanic and agricultural communities.

But the bill’s backers first had to get 60 votes to bring it up again. Just 45 senators—only seven of them Republicans—supported such a move the last time around.

Conservative critics who paint the measure as amnesty for lawbreakers said their efforts to stop the legislation were gaining momentum.

“We do still have a shot to stop it, but it’s only going to be if the American people raise the level of their voices in the next 24 hours,” said Sen. Jim DeMint, R-S.C.

The legislation faces still more trials, even if it scales its initial obstacle. Votes still loom on amendments that could alter key parts of it. Another make-or-break test vote could come as early as Thursday.

Lindsey McGraham Having A Very, Very Bad June

It really wasn’t all that long ago that Lindsey Graham was in the cat bird’s seat. He ran for the US Senate as a strong bible-belt conservative, and South Carolinians took the bait, hook, line, and sinker, as they say. He got lots of TV time during Slick Willie’s impeachment, and the mainstream media, especially the flaming liberals over at CNN, were intrigued. Who, they asked, is this hokey, effeminate Republican Senator, a confirmed-bachelor, military veteran (not a blood-thirsty killer, but a desk-jockey lawyer, so we can still love him), and raised behind a beer joint in Central, SC?

Over the next few months, Lindsey Graham became a drive-by media darling, a cable news rock star. How? Well, he basically turned to all those conservative folks in South Carolina, who elected him and sent him to Washington to represent their views and principles, and gave them the middle-finger salute. Mr. Graham decided that he’d rather be a DC insider, a “player”, than a rock-solid conservative representative of the good people of South Carolina. So, Mr. Graham told the good people of South Carolina to kiss his ass.

It happened quickly. First, Mr. Graham injected himself into the terrorism debate following 9/11. How? By fighting, and pleading passionately on the floor of the Senate, for the rights of terrorists, the cold-blooded killers of American children, mothers, fathers, sisters and brothers. He argued that these murderers, who worship a God that tells them to destroy America by killing every last one of its citizens, should have the exact same rights as those citizens in a court of law. Did he weep for America’s children? Never even a misty eye from Mr. Graham for Americans, or the South Carolinians who elected him. He was fighting, pleading, begging for the rights of terrorists, and CNN and the rest of the liberal media felt a stir in their collective loins. And back in South Carolina, his office phones lit up. The folks who elected Lindsey were pissed. And I mean, really pissed. Graham said it was only the “loud folks” making noise. And the folks over at CNN started to swoon.

Next, Mr. Graham sold his soul to the devil, John McCain. Mr. McCain believed Graham could help him to victory in the critical 2008 South Carolina Presidential Primary, and he nuzzled up to Lindsey, and Lindsey nuzzled back. Shortly thereafter, McCain and Graham were 2 of the 7 GOP members of the Gang of 14. They were locked at the hip. Graham believed he had been anointed Vice President. And back in South Carolina, they had to add capacity down at the phone company just to handle the calls to Mr. Graham’s office from those pissed off voters. They screamed into the answering machines, because Mr. Graham’s handlers had stopped answering the phone. But again, said Lindsey, it’s only the “loud” folks. Most folks support what I’m doing, said Mr. Graham. And CNN started getting that tingly feeling in their collective nether regions.

Finally, basking in the stage lights of CNN’s portable studio and feeling invincible, Lindsey made the mistake that killed his career. He was asked by John McCain to join a secret band of co-conspirators to write an Immigration bill for GW Bush, and ram it through the Senate. He and Johnny Mac went into a room, closed the door, got down on their knees, and bowed to Ted Kennedy. Then, instead of an Immigration bill, they wrote an Amnesty bill. Folks back in South Carolina went ballistic. Senator Jim DeMint came down on the side of logic and reason, and was embraced by a South Carolina electorate that, up until then, was ambivalent about him.

And what did Lindsey Graham do?

He went before LaRaza, the radical Hispanic tool of Ted Kennedy that wants to reclaim the Southwest US for Mexico (by force), and told them that he supports amnesty, that he was fighting to legalize every single criminal trespasser that exists, and he was going to tell all those “bigots” back in South Carolina to shut up. Yes, he cried big tears as he said it, and yes, CNN was there.

Dear Bruce,

Did you know that in 2005 we caught 155,000 people that were coming across our border that weren’t from Mexico?  This included individuals from China, North Korea, and Iran.

Were you aware that Homeland Security has built just thirteen miles of the 854 miles of border fence mandated by the law I wrote — in over six months?  At that rate,  it will take them forty years to build it!

Every one knows that the way into America isn’t through our airports anymore, but through our open back door along the U.S. / Mexico border.

www.gohunter08.com/buildthefence

When we first built the border fence along the San Diego/Tijuana Border we saw a 90% decrease in smuggling and according to FBI statistics the crime rate dropped over 50% in San Diego once the fence was constructed.

www.gohunter08.com/buildthefence

The success of the Hunter Fence along the San Diego/Tijuana Border has illustrated that we need to extend the border fence across the rest of the U.S. / Mexico border.    I need your assistance today to spread the message of success about the Hunter Fence to voters across our great country.

If elected president of the United States I will build the entire 854 miles of the border fence in six months.   That is my pledge to you.

It is time to build the border fence and close America’s back-door.  And with your help we can.

Thank you!

From Red State:

The Bushies are tired of fighting, the Los Angeles Times reports. It’s time to compromise with Okinawa Jack Murtha, Nancy, Harry, Rahm, Chuckie, and famed Nazi hunter Dick Durbin.

With public support of the war dropping, President Bush has authorized an internal policy review to find a plan that could satisfy opponents without sacrificing his top goals, the officials said.

The president and senior officials “realize they can’t keep fighting this over and over,” said one administration official, who along with others declined to be identified because they weren’t authorized to speak publicly or because decisions were pending.

Well, Bush will do nothing to eradicate Al Qaeda in Iraq. He refuses to stop the Mexican invasion of the United States, so why would he give a rip that Iran has invaded Iraq? Iran continues to get away with murder AND nuclear weapons, while somehow Saddam’s Iraq HAD to be stopped.

From the article:

Iranian Revolutionary Guard forces have been spotted by British troops crossing the border into southern Iraq, The Sun tabloid reported on Tuesday.

Britain’s defence ministry would not confirm or deny the report, with a spokesman declining to comment on “intelligence matters”.

An unidentified intelligence source told the tabloid: “It is an extremely alarming development and raises the stakes considerably. In effect, it means we are in a full on war with Iran — but nobody has officially declared it.”

“We have hard proof that the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps have crossed the border to attack us. It is very hard for us to strike back. All we can do is try to defend ourselves. We are badly on the back foot.”

This is what you can expect from a RINO gone wild: regretting the Constitution of the United States. Joining the chorus of Democrats and RINOs, McCain laments the fact that his anti-American, unconstitutional law in which he conspired with the President of the United States Mexico Jorge Arbusto to stifle free speech in America.

 McCain: ‘Regrettable’ decision
By Alexander Bolton and Klaus Marre
June 25, 2007
Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) on Monday called the Supreme Court’s decision to weaken part of his campaign finance law “regrettable.”

However, the presidential hopeful pointed out that the 5-4 decision leaves intact the main part of the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act, most commonly referred to as McCain-Feingold.

“It is regrettable that a split Supreme Court has carved out a narrow exception by which some corporate and labor expenditures can be used to target a federal candidate in the days and weeks before an election,” McCain said. “It is important to recognize, however, that the Court’s decision does not affect the principal provision of the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act, which bans federal officeholders from soliciting soft money contributions for their parties to spend on their campaigns.”

The court weakened a provision in the law that strictly limited ads paid for with corporate and union money within 30 days of a primary and 60 days of a general election. It ruled that the law violated the First Amendment rights of Wisconsin Right to Life, which was prevented from running ads urging voters to contact Democratic Sens. Herb Kohl (Wis.) and Russ Feingold (Wis.) about a filibuster of judicial nominees.

I contacted all 100 today… AGAIN! Thank you!

Read the article:
“During yesterday’s appearance on ‘Fox News Sunday,’ Mr. Lott was asked about television ads run by NumbersUSA criticizing him for joining with Mr. Kennedy in ’selling out Mississippi’ by supporting the Senate bill. In response, Mr. Lott’s arguments for the amnesty bill included the following: ‘We need to make sure we know who these people [illegal aliens who benefit from the amnesty bill] are, where they’re going, that there’s a job for them, that they’re not treated like animals.‘”

Too bad that Trent Lott is treating his constituents and American taxpayers as animals. I am disgusted that illegal criminals who are citizens of foreign countries get more representation in Congress than I do!

Kudos to South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford who continues to stand for TRUE school choice.  He vetoed a so-called “Open Enrollment” bill that would have made people think that they could enroll their children in  any PUBLIC school of their choice. Only problem is all the loop holes that would leave the options limited, knowing that there are not enough decent government schools to choose from to meet the demand. The result? A continued guaranteed that the failing government education system in South Carolina would continue to get worse.

South Carolina needs legitimate school choice NOW!

Read the article HERE.

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - Governor Sanford has vetoed a bill that would let parents send their children to the public school they choose by the fall of 2009.

Schools districts could turn down the requests if they don’t have enough space.

Sanford says the legislation only creates the illusion of an open system. He’s an advocate of school choice legislation that gives tax breaks to parents sending their children to private schools.

The governor says the bill would not help children trapped in failing schools.

House Education Committee Chairman Bob Walker says it will be tough to override the veto when the Legislature returns for a one-day session next week. He says the final version of the bill barely passed with a 58-to-54 vote. It needs a two-thirds majority in the Senate and House to become law.
