True colors
The Senate showed its true colors yesterday by defeating an amendment to the Immigration bill that would have required border enforcement first and deferred debate on how to handle the 12-20 million illegal immigrants currently in the country by a vote of 55-40 with 18 idiot Republicans voting to kill the amendment.
Simply mind-boggling!
Here is a list of the 18 Republicans senators who betrayed there conservative base;
Robert Bennett of Utah; Sam Brownback of Kansas; Lincoln Chafee, Rhode Island; Norm Coleman, Minnesota; Susan Collins, Maine; Larry Craig, Idaho; Mike DeWine, Ohio; Lindsey Graham, South Carolina; Chuck Hagel, Nebraska; Dick Lugar, Indiana; Mel Martinez, Florida; Lisa Murkowski, Alaska; Senator Shelby, Alabama; Olympia Snowe, Maine; Senator Specter, Pennsylvania; Ted Stevens, Alaska; Voinovich, Ohio; and John Warner from Virginia.
Be sure to show them some love.
Of course when it came time to vote on the Sen. Sessions amendment to include a 370 mile fence along the border it passed 83-16 with all of the no votes being democrats. And here they are;
Akaka (D-HI) Bingaman (D-NM) Cantwell (D-WA) Dodd (D-CT) Durbin (D-IL) Feingold (D-WI) Inouye (D-HI) Jeffords (I-VT) Kennedy (D-MA) Lautenberg (D-NJ) Lieberman (D-CT) Menendez (D-NJ) Murray (D-WA) Obama (D-IL) Reed (D-RI) Sarbanes (D-MD) |
