AbeFroman Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Thats probably a smart move on their part. No reason to beat themselves over the head with that type of thing during an election year.... That issue probably hurts them more than it helps them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NUKE_CLEVELAND Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 That Senate bill was a f***ing joke. Im actually kind of pleased. No bill is better than a s***ty bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So wait, now you're willing to admit that there's no crisis that we can't wait to solve? I thought there were 15 million undocumented immigrants here and they were pushing the U.S. to the point of bankruptcy, and we couldn't wait another moment before getting rid of them!

southsider2k5 Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Wonderful. So now we do nothing and by the time they deal with this again, another million people are here illegally. It is ever so much fun watching the social network collapse around us... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapkomet Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 They killed it because the House was not going to vote for amnesty. Period. But you're right, it solves nothing, so it was all for political posturing. Bunch of assholes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They killed it because a) it wouldn't have passed, and B) it was hurting them. On one side you had Bush and softer Republicans arguing for what the other wing of the Republican Party calls Amnesty By a Different Name, and the in-fighting was -- the calculation goes -- hurting the Republican Party. I think that killing the bill hurts the Republicans more, however. It opens the door for Conservative Democratic Challenges in southern places and states like Ohio to challenge Republicans on two fronts: calling them a do-nothing party, and calling for border security. But, let's ignore Conservative Democrats in rural districts. This hurts Republicans with Republicans. I'm certain that having no bill is going to depress Republican turnout this year. Republicans wanted action, and didn't get it. Wonderful. So now we do nothing and by the time they deal with this again, another million people are here illegally.

I suppose I could have quoted a bunch of blogs, or gone on a long dramatic rant, but there wasn't much point. You all know how I feel about this, and all you have to do is make a Google News search to see how many locals are near bankruptcy from illegals. Maybe later I'll entertain the masses...
