Also remember Colonel Riley for his valiant stand.

Senators,

Your vote against an amendment to the Immigration Bill 1348, to make English America’s official language is astounding. On D-Day no less when we honor those that sacrificed in order to secure the bedrock character and principles of America . I can only surmise your vote reflects a loyalty to illegal aliens.

I don’t much care where you come from, what your religion is, whether you’re black, white or some other color, male or female, democrat, republican or independent, but I do care when you’re a United States Senator, representing citizens of America and vote against English as the official language of the United States

Your vote reflects betrayal, political surrender, violates your pledge of allegiance, dishonors historical principle, rejects patriotism, borders on traitorous action and, in my opinion, makes you unfit to serve as a United States Senator… impeachment, recall, or other appropriate action is warranted.

Worse, 4 of you voting against English as America 's official language are presidential candidates: Senator Biden, Senator Clinton, Senator Dodd, and Senator Obama.

Those 4 Senators vying to lead America but won’t or don’t have the courage to cast a vote in favor of English as America’s official language when 91% of American citizens want English officially designated as our language.

This is the second time in the last several months this list of Senators have disgraced themselves as political hacks… unworthy as Senators and certainly unqualified to serve as President of the United States.

If America is as angry as I am, you will realize a back-lash so stunning it will literally rock you out of your panties… and preferably, totally out of the United States Senate.

The entire immigration bill is a farce… your action only confirms this really isn’t about America ; it’s about self-serving politics… despicable at best.

I wonder what the “D” after their name stands for?..

3

Pretty clear what side has a liberal agenda.

4

Dirt bag, dumb ass, …

5

It is clear which party is the enemy of the USA. They have made 1984 and double-speak a practical reality.

6

You really have to wonder what these people could possibly be thinking. Why cater to the hispanic vote to such an extreme extent? For votes, but how many as opposed to how many other votes will be lost as a result of overall public discontent? I don’t even assume that all here of hispanic origin would want to lobby to fight the measure. And should it even really matter in the first place? This poll shows that without question there are too many mentally deficient people at the highest level of the democratic party.

7

Thats what I thought it meant.:slight_smile:

8

Well Pete Domenici is the lone Republican on the list and from New Mexico. New Mexico is over 60% Hispanic so the reason for his vote is obvious. Jeff Bingaman is also from New Mexico, but he wants to be Ted Kennedy so he always votes like Ted, regardless of the issue. The interesting thing is that Pete is leaving the senate in 2008 anyway.

9

Decades of creeping socialism and unconstitutional policies into our government have brought these problems about. Making English the official language is not going to change any of that, it is a weak gesture at best designed to stir up nationalistic pseudo-patriotic feelings. Who’s catering to the demographics now?

10

That is a very short list of politicians that are sellouts.

11

Yes, it is.

12

No Senators from Oklahoma on the list. The rest of the nation should elect senators like us Okies do;) :wink:

13

Just so I get this straight, but according to the author a man awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor is both treasonous and cowardly? About that only thing that would cross my lips when speaking to Senator Inouye is “thank you Sir” or “it is an honor to meet you” even if his politics make me sick to my stomach. YMMV.

14

If he supports bills that hurt our country then absolutely.

15

Give me a break. I hate illegal immigration, but voting against making English the official language is not an act of treason by any reasonable definition. Stupid, certainly but not treason. Anyone that would imply that a Medal of Honor recipient is a coward and a traitor simply because they support a policy that they oppose is a fool.

16

I wasn’t saying just that bill alone and I never said he committed treason. As a dumb ass Democrat I’m sure he’s done his fair share of damage. What he did in the war was certainly wonderful though. Doesn’t change the fact that he is a worthless Democrat, the group who are eating away America like parasites.

17

War heroes aren’t incorruptible. McCain co-authored a bill that is the most flagrant violation of the 1st Amendment since the Sedition Act of 1918. “Duke” was a Navy Cross awardee and look at what worthless scumbag he became.

18

… douche bag, dip shit, damn commie, …

19

All I can say is “God help us” when our own elected officals refuse to stand with us, the American people, who placed them in office with a simple vote that 91% of us demanded. When members of our own congress defy our will and side with outsiders and foreign intrests this great republic is in serious trouble.

They are an embarassment! :o :o :o
