Stupid and SILENT...
That seems to be the state that our "rulers" in DC prefer the voting public to be...stupid and silent. They (apparently) do not like to be bothered by what "we the people" have to say on the important issues of the day!
"Comments by Republican senators on Thursday suggested that they were feeling the heat from conservative critics of the bill, who object to provisions offering legal status. The Republican whip, Trent Lott of Mississippi, who supports the bill, said: “Talk radio is running America. We have to deal with that problem.” (emphasis mine)
Cry me a river Senator Lott! We have a Representative Republic here (in case you have forgotten) and WE THE PEOPLE do get to have our say in our governance...and "we the people" are speaking out decisively against S.1348.
"Just 20% of American voters want Congress to try and pass the immigration reform bill that failed in the Senate last week. A Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that 51% would like their legislators to “take smaller steps towards reform” while 16% believe they should wait until next year. "
The public's disapproval of this bill crosses party lines. While 84% of professed Republicans say that they are against this bill (which is to be expected) however 55% of ALL DEMOCRATS and 69% of Independents are also against this bill! If "talk radio" were indeed pushing this sentiment, there would be a lot less Democrats and Independents against this bill.
If talk radio really were "running" this country, we wouldn't be discussing this issue now. The Bush tax cuts would also have been made permanent a long, long time ago.
Here's an idea Senator....if this bill is really as "good" as you say it is, why don't you try to tell us WHY we are wrong in our opposition, rather than insulting us. However, given that you stooped to the insults, rather than the education and edification of the electorate, it seems crystal clear to me that this bill is NOT all that you and the President claim it will be.
