Re: Chuck Schumer vs. John Kerry

The recently released poll results seem to show either that people have changed their minds over the last few weeks or that those polls are not reliable. Whether the case is the former or the latter, the predicted election result is clearly not on our side.

It shows that the health care debate and the current economic conditions have weakened the public's support for the Democrats. It's amazing to see how people forget things quickly.

Did Schummer mean that he can get an immigration bill passed by April or he will introduce an immigration bill by April?

I am pretty sure he meant pass. It only took about a month to pass the CIR 2006 bill in the senate after it got out of the judiciary committee. If he introduces a bill in February and gets it out of committee by late March/early April, it will most likely pass by May.

Immigration =/= health care in terms of length.

The only thing I wonder is why they just don't write a bill similar to the 2006 bill and try to pass it again? The only reason it didn't pass in the house is b/c it was under republicans control.

I agree that before this talk, Brown needs to be defeated on Tuesday. I predict a close election, but Dems turning out enough to sneak one through.

Forget about all this shit, its all about keeping Ted Kennedy's seat on Tuesday. The democratic candidate is behind 4% in the polls. If we lose this seat we can forget about CIR and DREAM we can forget about everything, cause we are fucked!

IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD RITE? LOL

Why so negative about republicans? True...that things are looking positive for CIR under dem's control, but they can't all be the hero. Republicans had done great things for immigrations too before 9/11 came in the picture...remember amnesty '86 under Reagan's control?

We can't lose hope guys.
