The threats to the blue dog Democrats must have been coming fast and furious, because she certainly didn’t have the votes yesterday.
She may not have the votes today either. The old bag convinced herself that the votes are there though. She might want to think about doing the Democrats a favor and staying out of the limelight. Not very popular. Although Barack “we’re taking names” Obama was calling meetings and hanging on the phone with Dems (why even waste time with the Republicans), Democrats are still distancing themselves from this turkey. Obama (who isn’t familiar with provisions of the bill), is claiming that health care costs need to be reigned in, and this is the bill that will do that. Actually, that’s one of the main sticking points for hold out Dems: it costs too damn much. Toss in the destruction of the health insurance market, the gratis coverage for illegal aliens, and the certainty of health care rationing, and even the most liberal are balking at this 1000 page piece of firewood.
The fact that it hasn’t actually been read is probably not a stumbling block. It wasn’t a block for any of the other nightmares that have been rammed down America’s throat since January. That may be an ancillary issue for some of the Democrats that are up for reelection next year. They’ve blown their political capital, and with Obama’s favorability waning, they may not be able to ride his coattails to victory next year. The holdouts are thinking long and hard about potentially flushing another trillion dollars down the toilet. That’s their dilemma: how many people can they piss off and still get elected?
From the beginning its been previous administrations ultimate fault that illegal immigration has never been retired. Years of neglect and intentional overlooking of the laws that were in place? It’s grandiose excuse to allow the 20 million plus illegal immigrants to stay on American soil. Congress when enacted the Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA) of 1986 has been flagrantly ignored. The IRCA toughened criminal sanctions for employers who hired illegal aliens, denied illegal aliens federally funded welfare benefits, and legitimized some aliens through an amnesty program–EXCEPT THESE LAWS NEVER WERE ENFORCED?
There has always been complicity since the earliest days, between the lawmakers, big business, the open border zealots and radical pro-immigration and anti-American sovereignty organizations. Just like the Globalist they have an attitude that American taxpayers should accommodate every illegal family, with free medical care, schooling and a comfortable prison cell, for criminals and for the thousands of illegal alien drunken drivers every year. That globalist agenda has always been a free movement of cheap labor, between all of South America, Canada and Mexico, just as secretly arranged with the 3 countries leaders in Waco, Texas, at the end of March 2005.
Americans only forceful action is to build on E-verify, but not to replace it? Sen. Charles Schumer, D-New York and chairman of the Senate Judiciary subcommittee on immigration wants consider up-grading the application, with modifications to authenticate the employee’s identity by using a specific and unique biometric identifiers? Schumer, stated “improving employment verification is critical to boosting public confidence about curbing illegal immigration, which will build support for comprehensive immigration reform.” These politicians just don’t get it? Outside of the American Civil War, there will be a battle over giving illegal immigrants a path to citizenship free-ride? What about the millions of people with integrity and believe in the Rule of Law, who sit and wait in far off foreign countries for an entry visa?
Whatever the outcome it will not be easy to pass any Immigration reform or AMNESTY? Say–NO– because it going to cost trillions of dollars (with a T) in enactment. Health care, Pensions, retirement and a rush on government benefits, for those who haven’t already cheated the system. Then they will want their immediate families here? And waiting millions will swarm the open areas of the sovereign border fence? IT WILL NEVER END?

As a Independent voter, I do believe in a alternative government medical system, but I adamantly disagree on donating my taxes from public treasuries free health care to anybody who steals across our border or anything that smells of AMNESTY?

Your comment on my blog regarding town halls had me rolling in laughter! I am a 51 year old Cornell and Harvard educated white man who traces my lineage to William Bradford the first Governor of Plymouth Colony. So I don’t really have any contempt for white people. I have contempt for ignorant racists.
Ivy league isn’t what it used to be.
