In the dark of night last, the House Republicans
granted some sort of
amnesty to illegal (mostly) Mexican immigrants.
This story is not being
covered at all by any media I have seen. You
haven't even mentioned it.
It was done by a secret vote, buried in a flurry
of other bills late in the night.
They fixed it so there is no record of who voted
which way. Today Rush's flagship
station briefly mentioned it. Being the number
one right wing station in the country,
they took great pains to gloss over the story.
The morning show touched on it so
briefly I missed the whole seqment. The midday
show before Rush spent about
10 minutes taking calls from right wingers pissed
off that Dubya was granting
amnesty to lawbreakers.
I called in and got the screener. I was on hold
for about 20 minutes
before the show went off the air for the Horse
Molester.
I wanted to point out that it was a secret vote
and that the reason was
that Hispanics tend to vote for Republicans.
I never got on the air but
one guy who did pointed out that Dubya was pandering
to the Hispanic
vote and that he was rewarding people who have
proven they have no
regard for our laws. I haven't heard anyone yet
point out the secret
vote part of the deal. I suppose thats why I
didn't get on the air.
I was out of range and didn't hear Fatboy so I
don't know how he
covered the story. They don't seem to have a
problem with covering the
story of the 9/11 terrorists getting visa's but
they seem to be skipping
over the fact the Dubya is granting blanket amnesty
on the same day to
thousands of illegal immigrants who vote Republican.
I'd bet quite a few
of them are hauling drugs over the Mexican border
every day.
I gotta go...this is starting to piss me off again.
When I spend time
on hold waiting to talk to some radio moron,
it's bad.
