Here he thought he was important. Then Americans rose up to give a good swift kick in the butt to our special interest politicians. That wasn't an immigration bill- it was a fill the job halls full of cheap taxpayer subsidiezed illegals to make corporations lots and lots of money, while Americans to lose their jobs bill. And it was not talk radio (never listen to it), or any other medium that got Americans riled up. It is the lies of our politicians. It is the 12 -20 million illegals who should not be here and who are stealing our SSN's. It is the rule of law which Americans still believe in eve n though our leaders do not. You remember it? One law for everyone, applied equally. So legal immigrants come in. Illegal immigrant go out. Simple. Unless you are trying to rip off the taxapayer to stuff your buddies pockets. Poor Broder.

If this is not true, explain the support of the C of C, big biz, and King George? The suggestion that the bill was defeated because Rush popped a Viagra and waved his magic wand is preposterous. The CENTER saw what a fraud the bill was and revolted. The other example was 'fast track'. For DECADES we have been promised that Americans will benefit from a 'global economy' and the jobs created in the 'information age' will replace manufacturing jobs lost, and we were told that the new jobs would be better, & higher paying. Information jobs are exported to India and manufacturing jobs are to be found in China. You can go in hock up to your eyebrows for a degree, not in Poly Sci or English, but Engineering or Computer Science, and wind up working as a night manager of McDonalds, because in the 'global econonly' H-visas are being issued in almost unlimited numbers so techs from India (and other countries) can work in the US, because they will work for less. All hail the death of 'fast track'. And start to think what you want and expect future trade agreements to be, if a level playing field is important. And write your Senators! Could we be seeing the pendulum swing from a Constitutional Monarchy to a true Representative Democracy.. in this United States? If that was to happen, I will get my way (politically) less than half the time, but die a happy man. Right, Left and especailly Center, STORM THE BASTILLE!
