Enter here http://poetcontest.americaforsell.com/ On his 6/27/07 radio show, Sean Hannity blasts Ohio Senator George Voinovich for his support of the Amnesty Bill. It got so heated, as it became crystal clear that Senator Voinovich misunderstood the results of a vote on an amendment to the "comprehensive immigration reform" bill being debated in the upper house and was also apparently unfamiliar with efforts to re-impose the Fairness Doctrine on broadcasters operating on the public airwaves, that the Ohio Senator hung up on Hannity. From WorldNetDaily: ... The key sticking point in the conversation was Hannity's question as to whether the senator had done a cost analysis on the bill. The Heritage Foundation, a conservative think-tank, estimates the bill would cost the American taxpayers $2.5 trillion. Voinovich said he didn't believe the cost would be that high because a third of those eligible for a path to citizenship would never take it. "How do you know that?" Hannity asked. "Where does that figure come from?" Voinovich did not provide any supporting evidence for his contention and admitted he had read neither the bill itself or the Heritage Foundation analysis. When Hannity began making the case against the "amnesty" bill, Voinovich interrupted, asking: "Are you happy with the current legislation? Our current laws stink!" "No one is enforcing those laws, senator," said Hannity. "That's the problem. It's been five and half years since 9/11, and the border is still not secure." ... Voinovich also asserted efforts in the Senate earlier in the day were successful at amending the immigration bill to require illegal aliens to return to their nation of origin before getting on a path for a green card. When Hannity pointed out the measure failed in a 53-45 vote, Voinovich seemed stunned. "He doesn't even know what the Fairness Doctrine is," exclaimed Hannity. "He doesn't even know the outcome of a vote in the Senate today. And he gets mad at me when I try to explain it to him!" And absolutely nothing would change with the current Senate bill - the problems will only be compounded and more costly. We can only assume that Voinovich isn't alone in his failure to understand the legislation being rammed through the Senate - yet Senators are voting for it!
