I give up.
All the illegal proponents are in place….Looks like a WAR on the horizon.
Union all the way. Raised in it and believes in it.
Would somebody please re-send the memo:
If you have an R after your name, you are the OPPOSITION. Therefore, your first reaction to anything brought forward should be to go against it.
Of course, when you have an R after your name and you have no ideology, you really aren’t an R.
The Bizarro cabinet is almost complete.
As KB Hutchison continues to commit political suicide….
Hutchison, if elected governor of Texas, will open the southern border to all illegal aliens.
This is what happens when senility sets in.
I won’t support her. I won’t vote for her. I will work against her.
She is a RINO.
Hey, duh1 just got another lobbyist on board! It just makes him a bigger hypocrite. Soon his hypocrite head will swell to occupy the observable universe. What’s to complain about?
Oh, the Republicans who voted for her? Oh they’re the usual sell outs.
Wow! Both of my Senators voted NO maybe the phone calls and e-mails are finally getting through to them. Not that it did a damn bit of good with our good buddy Juan Mclame leading the RINO charge to bend over to the Democraps with his failed go along and get along strategy.
ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒE (mo-lone lah-veh) Translation: Come and take them!
Kay, go on your ‘fact finding’ in TX and get our input for gov.. You will not or never get our vote. I live in S. TX and we are knee deep with illegals, drugs, and taxes paying for illegals. We here are the minority. I am just a tiny bit tired of this.

Speaking of Juan, is he doing the intro for Obama’s big speech tonight?
I am armed and I am very dangerous…. cerebrally and physically. If you are illegal…… don’t try to cross my path. I’m sorry the U.S. Government, as it seems to be developing, is the next King George III. And if not that, Marxist….. you will be fought.
Another tax evader selected to Obama’s cabinet. Makes me want to make sure every penny of my taxes get paid on 4/15/09…..if not before.
Send tea bags to the traitors!!!
Cornyn might’ve made this list of “No”, but he’s a 50/50 bet. He voted for TARP; Geitner; not to mention he was out fundraising during the Cloture vote. Conservatives give him to long of a leash to stay tethered to us.
Hutchison is a blaring example of a RINO. She voted for the latest SCHIP expansion and single handedly added an ammendment to the Border Fence Bill which gutted it. I’ve never actively campaigned for someone, but Perry will get my attention especially if he stays to true in not accepting Stimulus money.
The river rose, the cricket sang
The lightnin bug it flashed its wing
And like a rope my arms I flang
Round our new Prez Obama.
Refrain:
Our Prez Obama
He sure is NOT yoh mama
But he is givin way so much stuff
He might cause lots of trauma!
One day I went down to that bank
I told that clerk my credit done sank
He said don’t worry bout that stuff
Cause we got Prez Obama.
That new prez went and give to me
Some sweet new shiny house freebee
Now I got a crib from the Main Lib
I sure like my new teepee.
Prez Obama I say mister
You are my number one A lister
Just keep that money coming dude
To all us bros and sisters.
Now winter is here and I’m real cold
The money’s gone and my crib is sold
I didn’t know I’d have to work
Cause we had Prez Obama.
The promises were lies, the money spent
All by our brand new Prez-i-dent
And now we all must learn Chinese
Because of Prez Obama.
Regrets to “Ole Brown Rosie”
Didn’t take Chambliss long to forget his close election and what he’s suppose to stand for.
We need to start all over, learn from the mistakes that got this country so far left, make impossible for that to ever happen again, by either party.
prendad, nothing like an old Civil War song to set the mood.
Seventeen republicans. Well, that’s better than nothing, not much better but…
IrishEi, I assume you are joking, but just in case, never give up. I learned the lesson in the service when it seemed even God had forsaken me. Never give up. Keep making noise and struggling in any way possible until the end however it turns out. Some of the saddest words in the English language come from a Chris Isacison song. They apply to our country today if we give up. “we let her down.”
Hey! Where are the Utah senators on the NO list? That state has a growing illegal immigrant problem, so I would think that Bennett and Hatch would be opposed to Solis. Her conflicts of interest should have disqualified her…
The friends and family that I have living in Utah are livid, and I know they will change their already somewhat shaky support they had for these two.
Find courage and strength in these words from another time:
If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.
You ask, What is our policy? I will say; “It is to wage war, by sea, land and air, with all our might and with all the strength that God can give us: to wage war against a monstrous tyranny, never surpassed in the dark lamentable catalogue of human crime. That is our policy.” You ask, What is our aim? I can answer with one word: Victory—victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror, victory however long and hard the road may be; for without victory there is no survival.
We shall not flag or fail. We shall go on to the end. We shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and the oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be. We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender.
All Sir Winston. A great man in a time of turmoil and crisis. There is another one to come, as sure as the sun will rise…..
Aye Aye CW4
Thank you for those words….. we few will fight .. we few ,we band of brothers.
*Don’t give up, get even; Get results, don’t give excuses; We continue to put these jokers in office, but it doesn’t have to be this way; P-BO and his minions doing their best to destroy our Constitutional Republic is still seen by the majority of Americans as going too far, too fast; Card check and amnesty for illegal aliens are two issues where we must put up a firewall by engaging all of our elected officials to the point that they fear us come election time.
*2010 and 2012 can still be years where the tide will turn if conservatives can unify at maybe an 80% level to decide that the Republican horse is still the only viable alternative; If that is the case, then Michael Steele and the RNC need to hear from us loudly, clearly, and often; We get a commitment first, then the money flows.
*The abundance of startup PACs reveals the dissention among the ranks; This skewed lack of focused intensity makes conservatives appear, well, unfocused; Pick a horse and ride it hard.
*And if all else fails, I am wide open to a block of red states seeking secession; As a producer, I am sick to death of subidizing moochers so they can lay prostrate on their couches all day watching The View and Oprah while they frump out a parasite or eight to dump on us; Enough!
Hilda Solis’ ABI (Americans for Better Immigration) score: F-
Supporting Amnesty for illegal aliens is one of the most destructive things that can be done to America’s blue collar workers (and even to some middle class professionals as well).
You can’t have it both ways Ms. Solis. Who will you really work for?
All republicans who voted for her or any other Obama nominee all traitor and should be kicked out of republican party ASAP.
and where is Juan McAmnesty? What a phony…com on Arizona get rid of this fake.
