Despite my liberal stance, I am eternally happy this bill was shot down.

It was made of suck and fail... and tacos.

Bush said last week that not supporting the bill was being "against the future of America".
Mike Chertoff said " what's the problem, are you racist."
McCain said " we are not going to erect barriers and fences"
Lindsey Graham said " we are going to make the bigots shut up"

Goodbye Republican party it was nice knowing you.
I'd rather see a nuclear attack in Washington than have the status quo.

Bastards.

Its not dead yet...like a Zombie you have to blow its head off so until McCain and Kennedy are out of the picture...its STILL ALIVE.

McCain got hit HARD in the polls - I'm expecting a 5-8% dip in the polls.

I for one am sick & tired of supporting families, that I don't even get an invitation to dinner, through altruistic services which I never voted for.
The bill sounded unrealistic for both sides, so we end up no where with it while the politicians & illegals still get paid. Anyone currently in office will be voted out by me with sickening disgust.

Sorry guys, I can't do anything at this point but laugh and wonder how long before someone tries to make this the fault of "liberals" and not the politicians that just shivved you in the McRibs after you voted for them.

Come on people, did ANYONE think this was gonna fly? It seemed like complete bs and it was never gonna be resolved. I like ATG's idea. What was that Tom Clancy book called...ha, Debt of Honor Bastards...i hope they all lose their office.

Fucking corporations.

Raise the minimum wage and make it un-equitable for the guys who employ the illegals to do so.

Build a massive wall and guard the fucking border.

Save the USA...

Whoa... Can't believe these forums are still kicking.

Looks like McCain's support of this bill is the death Nell for his Presidential bid. He's down in the polls and down in contributions.

Republican Presidential Nomination

RCP Average
Giuliani     28.6%
Thompson     19.2%
McCain       15.4%
Romney       9.6%
Giuliani   +9.4%

Seriously though everyone, our nation dodged a MASSIVE bullet with the final death of that bill recently. Bigger than terrorism or China.

In the next election, I implore you all to vote for independents. We need to destroy our 2 party system. It's grip has become too tight on our nation, and both institutions have become too corrupt. They are a cancer on our nation, and it is up to the people to cut them out. They almost owned this country over corporate sponsorships and a new voting "market". That is unforgivable.

Incomprehending?

What is this all about again? Someone want to give me a rundown of what this bill is about and why it's universally hated (apparently) by both sides of politics?

More or less it does more harm than good!! It solves nothing. . . . it literally was a publicity stunt that if passed would have been aweful on the country and devastating on the border states. . . . mine (CA) in particular!

I could go on for paragraph after paragraph. . . . But if both political parties were vehemently opposed to the bill (more Republican than Democrat, but all the moderates on both sides puked at this bill) there is something inherently wrong going on!!!

It was a complete and total amnesty bill. . . . a complete disregard for current American law as it is written!! Its so anti American!! Just thinking of the bill and its potential of it's passing makes me irate!!! Complete sellout bill supported by a president trying to salvage a legacy!! Nobody fell for it thank god!!

I wish McCain would hurry up and declare himself a democrat already. He doesn't belong in the Republican party.

Easiest fix to the problem is to pay illegals the same wages for the same work. Make it so companies have to hire illegals at the minimum wage and the appeal of hiring them will vanish. No idea on how to enforce this but hey it would work.

Amnesty. But not Amnesty. But really its Amnesty. And your unpatriotic and don't care about America's future if you don't support it. At least according to an asshole that was elected twice.

BTW FadedSteve. You sound like you don't know what your talking about. No offense.
