Our great Republicans are sitting on the fence waiting to see which way the wind blows.

RINO Michael Medved steered clear of the AZ law today. Seems like he doesn't want to go there. Maybe his listeners emailed him and told him he's on the wrong side of this one. I sensed a certain anxiety in his show today.

RINO Hugh Hewitt commented briefly on the AZ law and acknowledged, sourly, that it is not unconstitituional on its face and that its consitutionality will be in the application. He had on the usual GOP milk sops who said it was a bad bill for the Republican Party. (The same Republican Party that gave us McCain, Bush Jr. and Schwarzenneger).

Hewitt is a globalist quisling who has mocked, ridiculed and condemed nationalists who have fought to defend our borders and he is obviously very scared of this bill. It's obvious that the GOP elite is also scared to death of it, but is that elite more scared of the illegal aliens or of the GOP grass roots who clarely support this bill. One thing I notice: The further down the GOP foodchain you go, the closer to the people, the more support for the AZ bill. The grass roots citizens have really dragged the elites by their tails on this one. A good sign.

I think it could be said that, the more people a politician represents, the less they represent them.

If that hasn't been said before, consider it an official Ayatollah quote. If it has been said before, consider it an official Ayatollah plagerism

Menendez: Graham has McCain in mind
Sen. Robert Menendez (D-N.J.) is questioning whether Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) had other motivations for attempting to push off final action on an immigration bill until after the November elections.
Menendez, the chairman of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, told POLITICO that Graham may be worried about his close pal Sen. John McCain. The Arizona Republican faces a tough primary challenge from conservative former Rep. J.D. Hayworth, who has pilloried McCain's previous stance supporting a comprehensive immigration bill that included a pathway to citizenship for illegal immigrants.
Now, Menendez said, Graham may be attempting to shield McCain from political blowback on the divisive issue.
"Clearly John McCain is in a huge fight," Menendez said in an interview. "He has done a 360-degree turn on immigration – he’s getting a challenge from the hard right, I’m sure the last thing any friend of John McCain wants to see is to see is immigration come for debate."
Graham, who has been trying to strike a deal on the issue with Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), denied he had any motivation other than seeing Congress eventually pass an immigration bill, which he said could not occur in the fiercely polarized 111th Congress.
"I’m not giving the Democrats cover, I’m not giving Republicans cover, I’m trying to protect an issue I care about," said Graham, who spurred a controversy over the weekend when he insisted that Democrats shelve plans on a comprehensive immigration bill this year in favor of a climate change bill.
