Now, Take Names

There's Ted Kennedy. Of course. John McCain. Lindsey Graham.

These three need to pay. Two will for sure.

But they weren't alone in this. All need to be hunted down and driven from office.

Immigrant Bill Dies in Senate; Defeat for Bush
By Robert Pear and Carl Hulse, The New York Times

Washington, June 28 — President Bush’s effort to overhaul the nation’s immigration policy, a cornerstone of his domestic agenda, collapsed Thursday in the Senate, with little prospect that it can be revived before Mr. Bush leaves office in 19 months.

Rejecting the president’s last-minute pleas, it voted, 53 to 46, to turn back a motion to end debate and move toward final passage. Supporters fell 14 votes short of the 60 needed to close the debate.

Mr. Bush placed telephone calls to lawmakers throughout the morning. But members of his party abandoned him in droves, with just 12 of the 49 Senate Republicans sticking by him on the important procedural vote that determined the fate of the bill. (link)

Now, maybe the message will get through: Secure the borders! Convince us that you're serious about this issue.

Then we'll deal with the 12 million illegals living in our midst and with our farmers' need for slave labor.

But there also needs to be a reckoning ...

To their credit, John Warner and James Webb voted to kill the amnesty bill.
