   Omsb – great line.

   MM – thank you dear lady for helping us keep vigilant on these elected turn coats. I follow a lot of blogs and can tell you with no reservations, this site and HotAir is the most current about critical issues and how we can get involved. Every day or so I’m happy to tell someone that is discussing a story or headline that I saw it days ago…& they should log on the two sites as well.

    Kennedy wasn’t there to vote?! This was originally his baby! He must have been busy driving somebody home or something….I am shocked he’d miss an opportunity like this to destroy our country.

    I know other people have said it, but again thank you for your hard work at digging out what’s really going on in Washington! I’m sure this NIGHTMARE Act will return at some point in time in the future, so everyone stay sharp!

    Kudos Michelle. Those guys are persistent. Buying votes with our tax dollars is getting harder and harder for them. They must be besides themselves. They will never have the free reign that they had when only the MSM was covering their backs.

    Missouri is a strong union state but I can’t believe McCaskill keeps coming through for us! I’m thinking that’s why she keeps voting on this the right way. Can’t think of any other reason considering her cuddling with Michael J. Fox and the rest of the stem cell crowd.

    Supersean and On-my-soapbox,

    Once upon a time, the Nobel Peace Prize would have been worth winning. Alas, no longer. Pulitzer? Nobel Prize for Literature? There must be something else big. MM deserves it.

    If only the illegal-lovers would learn their lessons and stop. I’ve got to stop these illusions.

    As a resident of the Great State of Texas, I am disgusted at Sen. Hutchison’s support of this cloture. I apologize to the rest of the country for her.

    At least she says she will not be running for re-election.

    Thanks to MM and everyone who made calls to remind the sellout Senators that they will be held accountable for choosing to appease illegal immigration lobbyists, and ignoring their constituency. Major applause to Roy, Rosemary at Numbers USA who keep their eyes and ears WIDE open, monitoring Congress. Join them, PLEASE, your donations make this success possible. Grassfire is also commended for reminding us that we get the government we work for.

    Thank GOD!

    And many thanks to Michelle, and everyone who called/faxed and emailed.
    Here is the crapweasel GOP list:
    Bennett- Utah
    Brownback- Kansas (good-bye!)
    Coleman-MN
    Collins- ME
    Craig- ID (Mr. Wide Stance) Please exit
    Hagel-NE
    Hatch-Utah
    Hutchinson- TX
    Lott- Mississippi
    Lugar- IN
    Martinez-FL
    Snowe- ME

    Many of their YEA votes were expected, as they are the RINO’s of the Senate. McCain did not vote.

    Hatch helped cook up the DREAM Act so he and Bennett are no surprise for Utah.

    Mel “Amnesty” Martinez is no surprise for Florida (say good-bye, Mel, and thank you for leaving the GOP chair).

    Snow, Brownback, Collins,Coleman, Hagel and Lugar are no surprise. I am a little surprised at Hutchinson.

    Toupee Lott has shown his true colors for amnesty and the people of Mississipi will not forget this. I thought I read on NumbersUSA that he was against the Dream Act??? So the focus was on Sen. Cochran of Miss who voted against this travesty.

    I feel sure they will try again. So keep calling, folks, and don’t let your guard down. And keep praying that our country will survive the Democrats!

    Zippy_Slug – rumors are rampant in TX about running Kay Bailey for governor. Get those e-mails out to her office and also the Texas Republican Committee that you’ll not ever again support her, nor anyone she endorses, due to her lack in judgement. Granted, Cornyn has his own agenda and I’m not trusting him either.

    The MSM keeps talking about the Dems out fund-raising the Repubs. It hasn’t dawned on those idiots at the Repubs National Committee that people have closed their wallets due to their support of the Bush amnesty and now the rogues that voted yea for this. Conservatives are quiet and for the most part don’t kick up a lot of fuss. Time we proved them wrong.

    Even better than the preceding one, which was also quite good.

    I’d like to repeat a question I asked when this rehash of the Shamnesty resurfaced… can we recall a U.S. Senator? if so, mark today as the launch of this effort for every Senator (Dem or Rep) who voted for this bill!

    The cloture tally on DREAM was bad news. Only 36 Rs voted against cloture. It takes 41 to stop the bill, of course. This means the fate of the DREAM Act is up to the Ds who voted No on cloture, and other Ds who might vote No if the heat is on, but voted Yes today.
    PLEASE don’t forget to raise the roof with Ds on amnesty, no matter how they voted today.
    As to the Rs, some of today’s No votes were from pro-amnesty Senators (Specter), or soft votes. So, while the result was good, the tally composition was bad. Durbin will be happily planning his next run at a huge amnesty that will raise tuitions for everybody; discriminate against non-illegal students; create a new multibillion dollar spending program; pull in huge numbers of relatives; and — probably worst of all — establish a NEW magnet for mass illegal border crossing.

    I want him OUT.

    Here is what the Senate GOP has learned from the amnesty catastrophe earlier this year: nothing, zero, zip, nada, zilchmo, zed, nil. Viz:
    If you take today’s DREAM Act cloture tally (36 Rs voting NO) and remove obvious RINOs, squishes, and soft votes, the GOP anti-amnesty tally is what it was before the public exploded over Bush-Kennedy Shamnesty: about 30 GOP Senators want a border. Nothing has changed. Unbelievable.
    So, as of today, well above one-half the Senate, including appx 1/3 of Rs, is pro-amnesty, stone deaf, in hock to big business and/or PC media, and couldn’t care less what the public demands: “Border first. Fix the border. Crack down on employers. Now. No amnesty. No reward for law-breaking.”

    I could tell from the email response I got from KBH that she would probably dissapoint me with her vote and she did. She doesn’t deserve to be our senator or govenor. I wrote her the first time the comprehensive amnesty bill came up and told her I would never vote for anyone that supported any type of amnesty for illegal aliens. I will not vote for her for any office. I will email her tomorrow to tell her that and will also write Cornyn and thank him for his vote even though I don’t fully trust him either. It is a disgrace that we have such spineless and self-serving politicians. I always tell the people I know how our politicians vote and try to get them involved. It is sad to see so many of my fellow Americans complacencent about what goes on in Washington.
