Jay Rockefeller (D-W.V) and Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-Texas.),” The Hill writes.
Sen. Bill Nelson (D-FL) calls for Mubarak to go in a column in The Hill: “Mr. Mubarak will have to go – but not without an exit strategy that prevents the government from falling and leaving the door open for extremists. … Mubarak must immediately open these elections to international observers and give his written assurance that his name won’t appear as a contender. I believe this could help quell the protests.”
Where are the jobs? “So much for House Republicans not taking up social issues this year,” Roll Call writes. “House GOP leaders may not have intended on pushing a social issues agenda — they basically ignored such thorny topics in their ‘Pledge to America’ majority-making document last year. But that isn’t stopping rank-and-file Members from looking for opportunities to advance measures dealing with red-meat subjects such as English as the national language, abortion funding and the practice of allowing ‘anchor babies’ citizenship.”

How did you guys miss the fact that the democrats had the gall to have a lobbyist at the press call? Politico has it.
Do you guys still pretend to be journalists? Cause, you are not. You are paid propagandists for the democratic party.
And, your side is losing.
Democrats had a lobbyist at a press call? Maine's Tea Party governor has appointed a hospital lobbyist as the head of the Department of Health and Human Services. If you want a "pick me up" no joe, you should follow what's happening in Maine since Republicans gained a majority in the State House and a Tea Partier moved into a the governor's mansion. It should warm your soul to read about what's happening here. Kind of a dream come true for you.
NJ,
“You are paid propagandists for the democratic party.”
If this is your honest opinion – then why do you continue to come here every day – even weekends ??
If you think you are presenting a truthful view of stories – you are not. Sure you present a different aspect but you twist fact, use distortion and wrap opinion in words that give an illusion of fact.
Perhaps you’re a paid propagandists for the Republican Party.
Really, no jo? Remember the K Street project?
WITH WHAT MONEY? These Democrats say "they basically ignored such thorny topics in their ‘Pledge to America’ majority-making document last year" about the Republicans.. What the ???? Trying to eliminate anchor babies, cracking down on illegal immigration BOTH are directly related to CUTING SPENDING by eliminating the succubus’s. How is that difficult to get for some congress people. And HOW does going FURTHER into debt for a few unsustainable jobs going to help? It has not helped in the 2 years we have done it. STOP SPENDING, and banging the peoples head against a wall! Did you already forget about what the people said a few months ago? You cant SPEND your way out of debt you sniveling imbeciles.
And how do you justify adding $700 billion to the deficit by extending the Bush tax cuts? If you guys were serious about cutting spending you wouldn't have insisted on continuing something that we knew ten years ago we couldn't really afford. I know, I know, if it's tax cuts for people who don't need them, it is okay to increase the deficit, but if it is helping out people who are struggling to survive, we can't afford it.
Some real nut jobs on this blog. The Republican House first move was to "ADD" $230 Billion to our debt. Now they want to add scores and scores of rapist and child molesters children to our ranks and if that doesn't get you wait until Boehner spends Billions in his own district in unwanted military parts. Republicans say one thing and do another. The numbers on their spending spending spending are out! There is no denying they are spending crazies who only tax the poor and middle class to make a budget balance. The rich they keep in their pocket so that they can be voted in again. Watch Egypt. That will be us in about 20 years if Citizens United is not struck down!
There are only four ways of getting rid of so called ‘anchor babies’ citizenship and ALL require state level ratification. With the pure number of people needed in each state to ratify an amendment to the US Constitution and the urgency of more pressing matters, such as JOBS, JOBS, JOBS it seems like a waste of time. The ONLY four paths to changing our Constitution are:
How did you guys miss the fact that the Democrats had the gall to have a lobbyist that represents a PAC which has donated about $191,000 to Republicans versus $145,000 to Democrats to a press call? One would think that a Republican lobbyist would be oppose to the a Democrat proposal, yet he was for the proposal. How DARE Democrats try to get bi-partisan support for this proposal?
Propaganda often presents facts selectively (thus possibly lying by omission) to encourage a particular synthesis, or uses loaded messages to produce an emotional rather than rational response to the information presented. That sounds like all political messages to me. In a sense we are ALL propagandists selectively ignoring inconvenient facts. Maybe if we all concentrated on what UNITES us instead of focusing on what divides us the United States might able to start going in the right direction and we ALL could have a better future.
