Conservatives and Democrats United?!
There's the saying that goes something like "if it's too good to be true, then it probably is", but this time it may very well be true. In the Washington Times this morning (via Drudge) this article appeared. I couldn't believe it. Here's the first sentence:
"Senate Republicans will filibuster their own immigration bill today in the face of steadfast refusal by Democrats to allow amendments to the bill that many conservatives view as granting amnesty to illegal aliens."
It looks as if conservatives in the Senate and Democrats are united against various members of the GOP over this immigration issue, as the GOP doesn't want to do much about the amnesty concerns that have arisen. Conservatives of course are concerned about this and the many veins it touches such as security and terrorism, jobs, and the economy, and the Rule of Law. Conservatives don't believe in a "free pass", as they shouldn't. The curious thing (that isn't really when one looks at it closely) is the Democrats on this issue. They appear to be against amnesty this time around, however, the mostly likely reason is because Republicans are for it, something that normally, Dems would support, as they have no problems with giving a "free pass". However, they see this as a political opportunity to do some damage and hopefully gain an upperhand for November, doing what it takes to get the job done of trying to take back a congressional majority that has not been theirs for twelve years or so.
