I agree with you, Wingman, that the "Guest Worker" atrocity appears to be a done deal. The real story, though, will be where all of this goes from there. The rightwing talk radio people believe the Democratic Party is self-destructing, in the thrall of moonbats. Perhaps they should examine the mote in their own eye. Forcing the New Amnesty bill through may very well lead to the collapse of the Republican Party. A lot of people are going to feel very sold-out and are going to be very ticked off by 2008's Election. I think both major Parties are dinosaurs, having shown themselves pragmatically unable to deal with the vital concerns of the nation given to us by our Founding Fathers.
A friend and I were talking about this last night and I agree with you here. I think it's best if both parties go the way of the Dodo to be honest. It's six of one, half a dozen of the other. The Repubs are molesting the 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th Amendments, the Dems would be raping the 2nd, 9th and 10th. Both parties would cry outrage over the unconstitutional actions of their political adversaries, yet we will not see them undo the damage if they come into power themselves.
When the Dems run in '08, one of their biggest platforms will be the Patriot Act and the WoT's being unconstitutional, yet I can guarantee we will not see them relinquish the power granted to them by the trespasses of their predecessors when they sit on the thrones of the Beltway. When the Dems control the house and senate, they will ruin the 2a if they can and we won't see the next Repub in office giving that power up over the subjects of America when they have control of the house and senate.
They have middle-America hoodwinked. While those that toe their party line are busy berating the other side fighting over the intellectual table scraps of their own respective political propaganda machines and putting blinders on to the evils of their own parties, the Dems and Repubs in power are busy bargaining over who gets access to what is left when they divvy up every single freedom we used to have in this country.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President George W. Bush says Bill Clinton has become so close to his father that the Democratic former president is like a member of the family.
Former President George Bush has worked with Clinton to raise money for victims of the Asian tsunami and the hurricane disaster along the U.S. Gulf Coast.
Asked about his father and Clinton, Bush quipped, "Yes, he and my new brother."
"That's a good relationship. It's a fun relationship to watch," Bush said in an interview with CBS News broadcast on Sunday.
While attending Pope John Paul's funeral, Bush said, "It was fun to see the interplay between dad and Clinton. One of these days, I'll be a member of the ex-president's club. ... I'll be looking for something to do."
He said ex-presidents share rare experiences that others cannot understand. "And so I can understand why ex-presidents are able to put aside old differences," he said.
Bush said he checked in with Clinton occasionally.
"And you know, he says things that makes it obvious -- that makes it obvious to me that we're kind of, you know, on the same wavelength about the job of the presidency. Makes sense, after all, there's this kind of commonality," he said.
Bush jokingly referred to speculation that Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, the former president's wife, will seek the Democratic nomination for the presidency. He had earlier referred to the former first lady as "formidable."
"Bush, Clinton, Bush, Clinton," he said, referring to how Bill Clinton had followed his father, and Hillary Clinton could follow him.

A couple of rounds in the engine block of a Hummer should be enough, if it comes down to the nasty a couple of round through the gunner and/or driver should be enough also!
