They have no excuse not to get that done immediately. Vote out any Congressman who does not act on this issue.

“That’s the left’s argument,” Ingraham said in response. “You are adopting the argument of the left.”

O’Reilly pointed out that other Republicans, such as Sen. John McCain of Arizona and strategist Karl Rove share the argument. …
