Since the Political Elite seem to have trouble understanding us about complex legislation, like the Amnesty Bill, I’m hoping I will be able to convey our opinion of them using the more simple approach of the thing called ‘pictures.’
After all , I’m sure there’s more than one senator who’s picked up a magazine or two just for the pictures. Here now, is my effort to communicate with the way-smarter-than-us-have-everything-figured-out Washington Elite. Despite their extremely high opinion of themselves, the most recent disapproval polls (which is what they really are) make it quite clear that the vast majority of us are, uh, not happy with the arrogant, incompetent buffoons in Washington. Also, it’s been a while, so please feel free to consider this an Open Thread about the amnesty bill, the debate tonight, and anything else on your mind.
These are the “senators.”
This is the “president.”
The president’s cabinet and staff.
This is our job assessment of the people in “government.”
This is the amnesty bill.
This is us.
Any questions?

The amnesty bill is a good example of why career politicians are not always a good thing. These jackasses (can I say that?) act as if they are going to be our representatives when they campaign for office. Then, once they get in, the majority of them are answering do a different power. They couldn’t give a rat’s ass what’s really good for the United States in the long run. They’re just thinking about what will work for their own promotion and power. As for those of us who actually have brains, who pay attention to politics, who understand the principals to which this country was founded upon, we might as well take a hike in their eyes.
I did once have dreams of campaigning and serving in Washington. Then I realized something: I have morals.
It’s about time to repeal the 17th amendment and allow state legislatures to appoint senators once again. Then the states would have some real representation in DC.
That’s why there were two houses of Congress in the first place, one to represent the people, and one to represent the states.
Term limits need to be implemented upon House members of 2 or 3 terms, that seems to be how long it takes to “infect” them with Washingtonitis.
That way we wouldn’t have people up there forever, some of them were Roman Senators weren’t they?
The Supreme Court shot down term limits. Sad to say, it isn’t in The Constitution. Looks like we need a grass roots campaign for an amendment.
Who were the morons that voted for the left winger in the White House anyway?
Oops I am the moron that voted for the liberal liar in the White House. Do I now feel like a dolt? Yes!
Tammy,
I have an idea I think everyone here can get behind. The existing bill in Congress consists of two parts. One dealing with securing the border, and one to deal with the people who are already here. Given that the federal government has no track record when it comes to immigration enforcement over the last 21 years, I propose that Congress seperate the security and legalization provisions into two seperate bills. Secure the border, and let’s decide what to do with the people who are already here later.
I do have another idea where that’s concerned as well, though. I’m not a great admirer of the French when it comes to policy, but I think Sarkozy’s idea of paying people to leave is interesting, especially if it’s predicated on the idea that no such bill would be considered until after the borders are made secure. So, here’s my great compromise as far as what to do with the illegals. We issue a proclaimation that any illegal who turns themselves in will be returned to their home country and will be immediately entered into the back of the line for legal entry, or if they have no desire to live here, will be paid for saving us the trouble of having to find them. After say, six months to a year, any illegal we find here will be expelled and never again permitted to enter the country.
People say we can’t round up 12 million people. How about we convince them to turn themselves in?
As I queried both my Senators Saxby Chambliss and Johnny Isakson, why can’t we at least round up, oh heck say, ten thousand of the hundred thousands of those who for special occasions gather in the open, shutting down our traffic/commerce/schools, literally giving us the finger and flying foreign flags? Wouldn’t a little practice be a good idea? Especially since they believe we’ll suddenly be able to identify ALL who don’t scream in terror when this bill jumps up and yells “BOO!”, and obediently go scampering off to the “end of the line.”
Yeah I can’t wait to watch that happen. Y’all come have margaritas at my place and we’ll watch them just STREAMING out of Atlanta! Now that will be a drinking game the designated drivers can play, too. J
