    Racists win 2.0

    I was going to post this in the previous immigration bill thread, but it has mysteriously disappeared. Imagine that.

    Anyway...

    Indeed, the coalition opposing the bill was slightly more bipartisan than the coalition favoring the bill. In the crucial cloture vote, only 26% of the 46 Senators in the minority voting for the bill were Republicans, while fully 30% of the Senators in the majority voting against the bill were Democrats (or Vermont Socialists). It was Dems and GOPs reaching across party lines to find a bipartisan solution to the problem of a legacy-mad President's ill-considered immigration scheme!

      My compliments on the double-edged OP, my good sir.

      That said, analyzing the contents of a cloture vote is rock stupid. Everybody counted only about 57 votes for passage of the bill, and voted cloture accordingly.
      I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

        The bitterness flowing from the pro-immigration bill folks after their defeat is truly hilarious. I can almost taste their tears. Here's my favorite smear of the day, courtesy of the AP/Washington Post...

        When President Bush's "grand bargain" on immigration fell apart, Jeff Sessions, the Republican senator from Alabama who is named after a pair of famous Confederates, was very proud.

            You are all crowing about your great victory from the inside of the trap you fools!

            The GOP just endend any Hispanic support for it for a generation.

            Dumbasses!

              With any luck, the hispanic population will be culled by about 40% when they're deported.

                Pfff. Better no bill than a bad bill che. I don't know about you che but I'd like to not have to sit through yet another amnesty round in 20 years because the government failed to follow through on its promises yet again simply because groups like La Raza say so.

                  That's kinda like saying, we shouldn't bother to put out that house fire because there are just going to be more. We have a problem now that needs to be fixed. It's only going to get worse. Just so you know, I agree it was a horrible bill. You gotta pay $5000 and go back to your home country to reapply to come work here! Yeah that was gonna work.

                  And Slowy, illegals can't vote, and aren't going to be deported, so your statement has little bearing on reality . . . which shouldn't be any surprise to anyone.

                  When am I gonna see my boots!?!

                    And when will these great mass deportations begin?

                      Yeah, that bill really wasn't realistic in that area. It was added in to help make it more acceptable to the right wing but realistically who is going to willingly leave the country, leave their children, on the off chance that they'll get a legal visa 5-10 years down the road?

                      This "victory" really is like the "victory" California Republicans get with Prop 187 in the mid 1990's. Like right now they too crowed about their great victory but the end result is every Hispanic in the state understood the Republican Party was racist. Republicans have had a devil of a time getting elected in state wide office since. Arnold is the first Republican to in a statewide office in the last 10-12 years. That's how pissed off the Hispanics became.

                        Only when Congress is willing to throw business under the bus by requiring them to prove work elgibility or be fined will the country stop being a magnent for low wage illegal aliens. As the Government is only paying lip service to what the people want, they will only try to placate us by spending billions on ineffective fences and boarder controls. The bottom line? The country is changing and we better get used to it.

                            Proving that sort of thing is the government's job. We've been over this.

                              Indeed and I agree. It remains, however, the only way. So, as I said, we must now embrace the change.
