Our heaven is their hell "Keep the House Republican"
Edited on Sat Apr-22-06 09:16 AM by undeterred
I have a google alert on Sensenbrenner and this is what came in today- not satire!

Our View: Keep the House Republican
Posted Apr 21, 2006

In Frank Capra’s oft-watched movie, “It’s a Wonderful Life,” the character George Bailey is given a chance to see what his hometown would be like had he never lived. He quickly learns it’s an ugly place. Lucky for Bailey, the transformation of his fictional town was just a trick played on him by an angel.

Conservatives cannot count on a similar twist in this year’s elections, which will take place in the real world. If they succumb to the temptation to write off the Republican Congress, sitting on their hands this November, forsaking the opportunity to contribute to and work for Republican campaigns, or neglecting to go out and vote on election day, they could come out of their stupor next year to discover that Capitol Hill, without a Republican majority, has become a land of nightmares.

For starters, the wildly left-wing Rep. John Conyers (D.-Mich.) would replace the solidly conservative Rep. James Sensenbrenner (R.-Wis.) as chairman of the House Judiciary Committee. Sensenbrenner deserves credit for his diligent work to protect our homeland. Not only did he secure renewal of the Patriot Act over Democratic objections and a howling liberal press, but he also won passage of a tough border security and immigration enforcement bill that would crack down on scofflaw employers of illegal aliens while building 700 miles of wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.

It is not Sensenbrenner’s fault, or the fault of House Republicans who rallied behind him, that President Bush and leading members of the Republican Senate—including presidential hopeful John McCain (R.-Ariz.) and Judiciary Chairman Arlen Specter (R.-Pa.)—won’t agree to the Republican House’s border-security measures unless they get an illegal-alien amnesty, too.

1. Using "It's a Wonderful Life"
to push for a Repug agenda is just sick.

Sick, I tell you.

2. "the wildly left-wing Rep. John Conyers would replace ... Sensenbrenner"
Yup. And we can't wait! :nopity: Sensenbrenner is a demented windbag who needs to be put out to pasture.

3. To paraphrase Pink:
How can they sleep while the rest of us cry?

Damn bastards.

4. Even though it makes me want to hurl as well I do see a glimmer of silver
in the clouds.

(It is not Sensenbrenner’s fault, or the fault of House Republicans who rallied behind him, that President Bush and leading members of the Republican Senate—including presidential hopeful John McCain (R.-Ariz.) and Judiciary Chairman Arlen Specter (R.-Pa.)—won’t agree to the Republican House’s border-security measures unless they get an illegal-alien amnesty, too.)



Looks to me as if we are seeing the first cracks in the Republican front. I strongly believe we may see two or 3 smaller republican camps making them weaker.

5. Good idea, the Google alert
Sensenbrenner is my rep, unfortunately.

I need to do that alert. I plan on helping defeat him this fall.

7. I'm so sorry for your poor representation in Congress...
:hug:

I am working on Kennedy's campaign, and I'm not even in his district, I'm in Madison. My whole motivation is to see John Conyers as head of the Judiciary Committee. It was kind of funny to read this link and see how scary it is to the other side to know these criminals might actually be held accountable.
