The U.S. Senate is playing the most cynical of games.

Reports from Washington this morning tell us that Republican senators are going to attach part of the President's illegal alien amnesty program to an emergency-spending bill.

As a former congressman, I know how this scam works.

So what have Republican leaders in the U.S. Senate decided to hold hostage?

5. kick - people need to know this

and by people, I mean the people who stuck their head in the sand and voted bush thinking he would stand up for conservative values. They shouldn't be the least bit surprised that he has completely sold them out again. The people that wanted a conservative in the white house would have been ALOT better off with Kerry.

6. Is joe wrong? I called Craigs DC office and the aide was very

maybe - maybe not on the attachment of the illegal immigration bill to the Iraq funding bill of the s359. He said he knows its very controversial and wouldn't say one way or the other for certain.

My question to him was did Craig attach this , I know he authored it but did he attach it to funding for the soldiers.
