I KNEW that freakin' witch HAGAN would toe the party line! The way her aide side stepped me on every point this afternoon, and said she didn't know how Hagan was leaning.

Already beat HAGAN up by e-mail about the importance of extending this program. especially by giving employers comfort they know who they are hiring and co-workers some comfort that other employees are not taking jobs from family, friends and neighbors who are struggling to pay their bills.

my email is going to end with a smart-aleck question.

is the good senator going to help pay my bills since an illegal took my job

I called Senator Leahy's office and asked if he were American? I knew he was an Independent but I don't think he is an American.

I'm extremely disappointed in Sen. Byrd, Sen. Dorgan, and my very own Sen. Hagan. I was hopeful these three Democrats would support the E-Verify. Honestly, I'm totally confused as to why Sen. Dorgan voted to table the amendment. I know most liberals don't give a tinker's damn about the American worker (when compared to the illegal worker), however, I always thought Sen. Dorgan was fully in the American workers corner. Guess I was wrong.

Everyone who voted Yea on this is a friggin traitor. No question about it. They all need to be handed their arse and sent home.

Thanks James62, you made it easy for us to see who in the Senate gives a crap about the over 12 million American workers that are out of work.

Yes thanks for posting. It is disheartening to see where their true interests lie but I believe that it should strengthen our resolve to get them out of office and to get geared up for the bigger fight.
