Resuscitating Shamnesty

Obviously the solons in Washington haven't gotten the message, but the American people want no part of shamnesty. Still, they're determined to go over the cliff, taking us with them whether we want this mess or not.

Immigration bill gets 2nd chance

The top Democrat and top Republican in the Senate last night said the immigration bill, which stalled last week, will be revived and back on the Senate's agenda next week.

The announcement capped a weeklong effort by a small group of senators that drafted and has defended the bill from critics on the right and the left, and sets the stage for another bruising round of tough votes on border security, family reunification and legalization of illegal aliens.

If they think those opposed to the bill are going away, they're sadly mistaken.

Further alienating the GOP base, it seems Mississippi Senator Trent Lott has his hairpiece screwed on too tight.

Comments by Republican senators on Thursday suggested that they were feeling the heat from conservative critics of the bill, who object to provisions offering legal status. The Republican whip, Trent Lott of Mississippi, who supports the bill, said: “Talk radio is running America. We have to deal with that problem.”

Oh really, Senator, what does that mean? If they think they've been feeling heat, now they're going to have blowtorches on their backsides.
