Reid is discussing skin color....

who's the race obsessed one?

Reid is asking for sympathy.....

because he is getting hate mail and death threats. Look the opponents are in with the baddies, vote them down................(waaaaaaaaaaaa 2)

Now he's on Talk Radio. "Generators of Simplicity" ---Fairness Doctrine.

I don't believe any United States Senator is filled with venom.
"My family has been enriched by immigration" ---I am sure it has.

Reid is closing it out.......

"Immigration is a problem all over America"

Kyl is no longer a conservative......but Arlen is?

"Skepticism is not an excuse for inaction". Oh yes it is. Burke. Kirk. Coolidge. Buckley. My heart sinks over Kyl on this issue, if he had done his Judad dee silently and I hadn't heard that statement, I would have kept up hope that he'd be hoodwinked but Kyl's not dumb, just doing what he really believes.


Specter is using his last bit of time to explain away opinion polls, democracy, the words of constituents. If Specter ever runs or even bothers to endorse again---his quoting Burke that the "rabble" are not to be trusted, one needs elite opinion---would make great attack ads.

Kennedy calls to the ancients.......

the founding fathers..........and begins yelling again.


"This bill is strong, fair and practical."

"For our hopes, or for Fears"?

Ted Kennedy's plea really takes any wind out of their sail, he's so polarizing. I would have hid him from sight if I were the crafters.

Phone system is crashed

according to the three musketeers.......bravo guys, bravo.
