McCain's Illegal Alien Constituents Kill Again

The Bush-McCain-Kennedy Illegal Alien Constituency is responsible for many thousands of deaths in the USA and THE POLITICIANS DO NOT GIVE A DAMN! To them this is just the price of giving freedom to their beloved illegals.

• Bush has the power right NOW to do something (as Eisenhower did with a microscopic budget and 1/10th the manpower, "Operation Wetback") and flat out refuses.

• McCain is promising to reward them with citizenship if he becomes president.

• Kennedy is a very long term panderer, probably since eating his first tequila worm.

From VDare.com, I cross post an article of 2 deaths that were 100% preventable, had our government been doing its job. Our politicians are only interested in the feeling of the rush of POWER they get from pandering to the illegal aliens. There are tens of thousands of these needless, senseless deaths every year, entirely attributable to politicians turning away from their oath of office and instead pandering to criminals.

Virginia Beach Teens Killed at Intersection

[Brenda Walker] @ 3:59 pm [Email author] [Email This Article]

Tessa Tranchant, 16, and Allison Kunhardt, 17, were killed late Friday.

According to grieving father Ray Tranchant, his daughter Tessa and her best friend Allison Kunhardt, “were just sitting at the light, strapped in their seat belts. They were just doing what they were supposed to be doing.”

But obeying the law is not enough protection any more, since drunk-driving illegal aliens are making the roads a far more hazardous place. The accused, illegal alien Alfredo Ramos, was apparently so blotto that he doesn’t even remember the accident.

Afterward, [Ramos] told him he had no memory of the crash. He learned from authorities that he had killed two people, his brother said.

Ramos, who was born in Mexico of Guatemalan parents, has been in the United States for about seven years.
[Suspect in crash that killed 2 had alcohol-related convictions , Hampton Roads Pilot 4/3/07]

Ramos had a prior DUI conviction in Chesapeake this year, so if Rep. Sue Myrick's Scott Gardner Act had been law, he would have been immediately deported for being a drunk-driving illegal alien. The legislation, originally written in 2005, has been resubmitted in this Congress as HR1355 .

The girls were very close friends, known to finish each other's sentences. Tessa's mom Colette called the two “inseparable.” They were outgoing, fun-loving and had many friends. It’s a terrible tragedy that their lives ended so young, and that the accident could have been prevented if Washington were doing its job of maintaining secure borders.

The 'Isms' That Bedevil Bush, particularly PATRIOTISM

Bush belittles patriots calling them 'nativists' while he pursues a policy of 'jingoism' overseas.

It is the PATRIOTISM of citizens that is keeping him from the keystone of his legacy, amnesty/citizenship for illegal aliens here in the USA.

The 'Isms' That Bedevil Bush

by Patrick J. Buchanan

Posted: 03/25/2008

On reading George Bush's discourse to the New York Economic Club last week, Cicero's insight came to mind: "To be ignorant of what occurred before you were born is to remain always a child."

With Iraq entering its sixth year, the dollar sinking to peso levels, the economy careening into recession, and 12 million to 20 million illegal aliens roosting here, Bush alerted us to what really worries him:

"I'm troubled by isolationism and protectionism ... (and) another 'ism,' and that's nativism. And that's what happened throughout our history. And probably the most grim reminder of what can happen to America during periods of isolationism and protectionism is what happened in the late -- in the '30s, when we had this America First policy and Smoot-Hawley. And look where it got us."

[ed: It really keeps him awake nights trying to dream up a scheme to legalize all those illegal aliens he has employed and promised citizenship back at the Bush ranch in Crawford, Texas. So he has to belittle patriotic citizens for wanting to remove the hoard of invaders that are occupying US territory and taking jobs that citizens would do in factories making skids and other industrial work that are currently occupied by illegal workers. McCain has taken over the Bush dream and wants to make amnesty HIS legacy. McCain also wants to continue to beat down the push for a full acounting of the MIAs of Vietnam. John Kerry destroyed the documents of live sightings that were in government hands and McCain approved.]

Let us try to sort out this dog's breakfast.

First, America was never isolationist. From its birth, the republic was a great trading nation with ties to the world. True, in 1935, 1936 and 1937, a Democratic Congress passed and FDR signed neutrality acts to keep us out of the Italo-Abyssinian and Spanish civil wars. And FDR did say, "We are not isolationist except insofar as we seek to isolate ourselves completely from war." But how did staying out of Abyssinia and Spain hurt America?

As for Smoot-Hawley, it was a tariff enacted in June 1930, nine months after the Crash of 1929, which occurred, as Milton Friedman won a Nobel Prize for proving, when the stock market bubble, caused by the Fed's easy money policy, burst. Smoot-Hawley had nothing to do with a Depression that began in 1929 and lasted through FDR's first two terms. This is a liberal myth, probably taught to Mr. Bush by New Deal Democrats at the Milton Academy.

America First was an organization of 800,000 anti-interventionists formed at Yale in 1940 by patriots like Gerald Ford, Potter Stewart and Sargent Shriver, backed by John F. Kennedy, to check FDR's drive to war. Herbert Hoover supported it, and its greatest spokesman was the Lone Eagle, Charles Lindbergh.

But America First did not make policy. FDR did. And it was FDR who, by cutting off Japan's oil in July 1941, rebuffing Prince Konoye's offer to meet him in the Pacific or Alaska and issuing a virtual ultimatum on Nov. 26, 1941 -- to get out of China -- that propelled Japan to its fatal decision to attack Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7.

Isolationist is an epithet used to smear those patriots... [more]

McCain says "No NEW Taxes"...

...so now we know what the attraction is between George HW "Read My Lips" Bush (the latest McCain suckup) and Little Johnny himself. I read those words and my guts clenched tight. We know that HW was a liar and we know that McCain is currently willing to tell any lie to get the nomination.

Cross posted from gopusa.com

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Republican John McCain says there will be no new taxes during his administration if he is elected president.

''No new taxes,'' the likely GOP presidential nominee said during a taped interview broadcast Sunday.

McCain told ABC's ''This Week'' that under no circumstances would he increase taxes, and added that he could ''see an argument, if our economy continues to deteriorate, for lower interest rates, lower tax rates, and certainly decreasing corporate tax rates,'' as well as giving people the ability to write off depreciation and eliminating the alternative minimum tax.

McCain was defending his support for an extension of tax cuts sought by President Bush, which McCain voted against. The Arizona senator now says allowing the tax breaks to expire would amount to an unacceptable tax increase.

Later Sunday, the Democratic Party criticized John McCain's statements on continuing the tax cuts, saying his policies would not differ from the past eight years under the Bush administration.

'John McCain showed today that he is about as far from a maverick as they come,'' said Karen Finney, spokeswoman for the Democratic National Committee, in her defense/endorsement of Senator John McCain.

McCain The Trojan Horse Candidate - Funded by Soros since 2001

ELECTION 2008

John McCain funded by Soros since 2001

Candidate's Reform Institute also accepted funds from Teresa Kerry

By Jerome R. Corsi

As Sen. John McCain assumes the GOP front-runner mantle, his long-standing, but little-noticed association with left-wing donors such as George Soros and Teresa Heinz Kerry is receiving new attention among his Republican critics.

In 2001, McCain founded the Alexandria, Va.-based Reform Institute as a vehicle to receive funding from George Soros' Open Society Institute and Teresa Heinz Kerry's Tides Foundation and several other prominent non-profit organizations.

John McCain and George Soros

George Soros is a name that many on both sides of the aisle recognize. For Conservatives he is the name of that devil with the deep pockets behind the socialization of America and the world. If Liberalism breeds there, more than likely, Soros' checkbook is somewhere attached.

John McCain is the name of a Republican that has taken over the lead for the 2008 Presidential nomination and has many Conservatives befuddled because they do not care to vote for him, but feel that they must because he is still much better than his liberal Democrat counterparts. Not voting for John McCain, the Conservative has reasoned, is like voting for Barack Obama or Hillary Rodham Clinton.

When considering John McCain's left-leaning tendencies, however, it comes to no surprise that he associates with a left-wing donor such as George Soros. In fact,

In fact, prominent senior officials on the McCain 2008 presidential campaign staff have found well paid positions at Soros' Reform Institute.

And John McCain is the guy we are supposed to vote for to fight against Liberalism?

The Soros-Kerry funding connection with McCain was first exposed by Ed Morrissey at the Captains Quarters blog in 2005.

Inside McCain's Reform Institute

by Ed Morrissey - March 9, 2005

When CQ first covered the Bradley Smith interview that started the blogswarm on the FEC and the BCRA this week, I noted several unusual relationships between the donors and the institute, all hinging on Richard Davis, RI's president and John McCain's campaign manager. Since Davis also acts as McCain's chief political advisor, I found it odd that the RI -- which pays Davis a $110,000 "consulting fee" annually instead of a salary as its president -- received money from donors such as the sources that follow below.

Bear in mind, please, that foundations don't just line up to hand out cash. Rick Davis has to apply and then campaign for these funds, as budgets are limited even for the richest foundations. They carefully select their grantees to ensure that they support the overall mission of the foundation. Why would a close political advisor to John McCain go to these sources almost exclusively for the major funding of the non-profit that seeks to support McCain, a supposedly conservative Republican?

The Tides Foundation, which heavily promotes "reproductive justice", giving over $500,000 to pro-abortion efforts. They also actively oppose the death penalty (so do I, FYI). John McCain opposes abortion and supports the death penalty, so why is his chief political advisor getting so much support from those who ostensibly oppose him?

Educational Foundation Of America, which also supports abortion. EFA also opposes drilling in ANWR, an issue on which McCain has an ambivalent record. It also supports euthanasia and assisted suicide through the Death With Dignity National Center, a group which it gave $45,000. It gave $100,000 to the Alliance for Nuclear Accountability, which opposed the Yucca Mountain nuclear depository (McCain supported it), and opposes development of low-yield nuclear "bunker buster" bombs, which McCain supports.

In fact, EFA appears to contribute to just about every left-wing cause imaginable, as well as a number of noncontriversial charities and outreach efforts.

The Proteus Fund, which also opposed the Yucca Mountain repository, spending $75K to stop it. That pales in comparison to the $935K they spent on supporting gay marriage initiatives, which McCain strongly opposes. They have also spent over $800,000 funding nuclear-disarmament and antiwar causes in each of the last two years. Their Security Policy Working Group contains nothing but left-of-center groups like Project on Defense Alternatives, which calls the Iraqi elections "faulty" and predicted disaster for the Bush administration's "program of coercive transformation throughout the region."

OSI (Open Society Institute), founded and funded by George Soros. Among a litany of left-wing causes supported by OSI are People For The American Way, to support their Supreme Court Project. (Hint: It isn't intended on assisting Bush get his nominees confirmed.) They also gave $150,000 to the Campaign Legal Center, which will be important shortly.

David Geffen Foundation also shows up on the list, although not in the top tier. David Geffen is an entertainment-industry mogul who supports Democrats and left-wing causes. They do not have a website I could find, but Activistcash.com notes that in 2002, most of the grants Geffen gave went to environmental activists and the Tides Foundation and Tides Center.

But the oddities don't end at the donors page for Reform Institute. We've already detailed how McCain's chief political advisor earns a six-figure income from the nonprofit which heavily promotes McCain and the BCRA. As the New York Times noted yesterday, RI provides a back-channel method of keeping his campaign staff employed without McCain having to do any fundraising for his political campaigns -- and avoiding the donation caps that come into play for his donors. And Davis isn't the only beneficiary of this loophole.

Trevor Potter works as General Counsel to the Reform Institute. Coincidentally or not, Potter also worked as general counsel to McCain during his 2000 run for the presidency. Potter also is employed as President and General Counsel to the Campaign Legal Center, making him a direct beneficiary of the George Soros donation to this non-profit group as well as at RI. Potter also released a "don't worry, be happy" statement about the FEC's decision not to appeal the Shays-Meehan lawsuit judgment overturning the Internet exemption to the BCRA which failed to disclose Potter's connections to RI, Soros, or McCain.

John McCain, who has long campaigned on a promise to rid politics of big money, not only has built himself a lucrative third-party solution for fundraising but also a shelter to keep two of his top campaign operatives employed between elections. These top strategists also have an odd taste for funding sources, considering McCain's public positions on key issues for his base. That money pays their salaries and indicates a certain amount of influence among McCain's political staff. It demonstrates better than anything else could the corrosive nature of hidden money and back-channel dealings, which the BCRA not only doesn't resolve but almost requires for campaign fundraising.

This shows the futility of the BCRA just as much as it does the hypocrisy of John McCain in creating it and expanding it. The only solution for corruption is direct contributions that get immediate and full disclosure, not limitations on political speech. I can't think of a better example than the Byzantine mess I've described above to make that point.

===

Juan Hernandez, the former Mexican Secretary For Immigration Affairs under the Vicente Fox administration in Mexico, has been discovered to be working for the John McCain campaign as their Hispanic Outreach Director. For those who don't know Juan Hernandez is a dual citizen of the United States and Mexico. Having worked in Mexico's government and now apparently in ours, I consider him a double agent and obviously not working in just the best interests of the United States, but in the best interests of Mexico as well. These best interests include allowing millions of illegal aliens in the United States to remain here and in the future for millions more to come.

===

McCain says he has heard us but don't you believe it. He says he will secure the borders and then we will talk about legalizing the criminals in hiding.

So you still want to vote for McCain as the lesser of two evils? I'd say that maybe we ought to think SERIOUSLY about a write-in candidate.

Now we find out that RINO John is a front man for the billionaire socialist, George Soros, and an even better buddy of John Kerry than we ever suspected, taking cash from Kerry's very liberal cash cow, Tides Foundation.

The Bush State of the Union - Unrequited Amnesty

Last night in his final State of the Union speech, Bush had assembled members and guests standing while clapping and cheering on most issues.

Bush bemoans the failure of his amnesty legacy - His immigration topic was applauded by the pro-amnesty caucus. This is what Bush seems to consider as the keystone of his legacy. It failed in two previous attempts. He sounded like there would be one last great lame duck push.

2006 - The open illegal alien demonstrations, the gathering of all the senate panderers, the US Council of American Catholic Bishops, National Council of Churches, The US Chamber of Commerce, AFL-CIO, La Raza, The DNC (funded and backed by MoveOnKoSoroStryker), all seem to be an implacable, unstoppable army of pro-amnesty foes for the forcefull push for passage of S.2611. The senate AXIS of Amnesty tossed in Social Security to sweeten the package for illegals. The Citizen Patriots defeated them.

2007 - They made another try (S.1348/S.1639) to slip it past us by stealth this time. Secret back room meetings to formulate the amnesty package with no committee discussion or debate. La Raza and other amnesty special interets were allowed input to the content of the amnesty gift package. Then the panderers ran it right out to the Senate floor as a completed amnesty abortion ready for an up-or-down vote with limited floor debate. They tried several cloture votes to stop debate/filibuster and FAILED! This was the legislation that would have given illegals aliens legal status after a phoney 24 hour status check. Remember the confident Bush statement: "I'll see you at the signing!" He fully expected to be able to slip this one to us. Despite attempts to isolate legislators to curb citizen protests against the treachery of the government, patriotic citizens prevailed again.

2008 - Bush is not done. His amnesty wet dreams are still a possibility in this lame duck legislative period. We must be vigilant for the next Kennedy-Bush-McCain amnesty attempt. Many of the senate RINOs are still in place too. The whole pander coterie on the socialist Democrat side of the aisle are still there. While there are patriotic citizens that claim membership in the Democrat coalition, they apparently did nothing about their illegal alien pandering representatives. We have a hard core panderer in the Michigan delegation that is seeking re-election this November, Senator Carl Levin. Levin is a hard core panderer. If McCain becomes president, we will be fighting amnesty all over again. If Clinton or Obama become president, we will also be fighting against amnesty. Catch your breath and get ready to fight all over again.

The panderers are beginning to rally

Today in email, I received this message from Senator "RINO Pander3" Sam Brownback. He inherited the number 3 spot when Frist decided not to run again. RINO Pander1 is owned by El Presidente Bush. Number 2 is Senator McCain. This email is sent from the McCain campaign. Paragraphs of the letter have been numbered for easier reference.

===

1. This morning, I flew to Iowa to join and endorse my friend, John McCain, for President of the United States. John McCain is a true American hero and I'm proud to stand with him today. He is the only candidate who can rally the Reagan coalition of conservatives, Independents, and conservative Democrats needed to defeat Hillary Clinton or any other Democrat in the general election next yea
2. .While I respect all of the Republicans running for president this year, John McCain is the only choice to lead our country in the global fight against Islamic fundamentalism. He has the experience, the knowledge, and the courage for this fight. He alone among the candidates for President recognized years ago that our strategy in Iraq was failing and had the guts to call for change. We need that leadership in the White House.
3. John McCain also represents the values that are the core of our Republican party. He has spent a lifetime standing up for human rights around the world, including a consistent 24 year pro-life record of protecting the rights of the unborn. We do not have to abandon our principles of life, faith and family to defeat the Democrats next fall; we can stand with John McCain.
4. With momentum growing, we need to rally around John McCain today. Please take the time to contribute to his campaign. With less than 60 days before voting begins, it is important that John have the resources to get his message out in the early primary states. I am standing strong with John and ask that you join me.

Sincerely,

 

Senator Sam Brownback

===

(1) McCain may be able to rally Dems because he has been so close to them over the years. He may be able to rally independents because they are wishy-washy and indecisive. John McCain is wishy-washy. The match is so close that they feel a kindred attraction. Conservatives recognize McCain for what he is and can not support his attacks on the first and second amendments.

(2) McCain has been the loose cannon of Washington. Why should conservatives promote him to the highest office in the USA as a reward for being a traitor as a US Senator? This has nothing to do with his honorable service many years ago in Vietnam. Since that time, he has repeatedly sought to be a good little aisle straddler as a congressman and senator. He has repeatedly attempted to throw open our borders and give amnesty to criminal law breaking border jumpers. Brownback is of like mind and thus his endorsement. He shares a fervor for promoting illegal aliens beyond citizens.

3) McCain is a maverick and has been going his own way against the wishes of the citizens who elected him. This is NOT the core of the party.

4) The only momentum growing is the number of people who recognize that John McCain is not the candidate we need. He has repeatedly displayed disdain for the wishes of citizens and is only concerned with promoting illegals over us. Brownback, as a senior member of the marxist christian heresy, has actively sought to dissolve our sovereignty and borders. Brownback is the first candidate to recognize that we will not give our support to him. McCain refuses to acknowledge that conservatives recognize what he has attempted to do to us. At least the millions he is spending on his campaign are going to US citizens. Brownback and McCain are two of the 23 Senate RINOs that joined the Democrats in a display of unity to give total amnesty to illegals in 2006 (Senate Bill 2611). Fortunately, even though they prevailed in the Senate, cheered on by El Presidente Bush, the US House of Representatives repelled the traitors.

Are we to be ruled by international judges now?

permalink: http://www.rogueriver. tzo.com/NoAmnesty/ archives/2007/ 10/entry_159.html

It is bad enough:

• to have legislation and constitutional amendments made by the swing of a gavel by the supreme court with no ratification by the states,

• to have states rights run over by federal black robes and the imperial congress plus King George on his throne at the White Palace (aka White House).

The people of Texas are demanding justice for the two raped and strangled teenage girls, and are pleading with the El Supremo Black Robes to ignore foreign judges. Breyer and Ginsburg are two that feel we must look to foreign courts for ruling to guide us. If the supreme court rules with Bush and the foreigners, then our sovereignty is truly gone! Then lets just start the revolution and retake our country BAMN! For the minutemen, keep your powder dry and be ready.

WE WILL NOT BE RULED BY FOREIGN LAW, OR JUDGES! (No matter how desperately Bush and his globalist bonesmen buddies wish it otherwise!)

Bush, Texas at odds over death case

By MARK SHERMAN, AP Writer

cross posted from YAHOO! News [YAHOO! links are crapola and dissapear in 24 hours or less.]

WASHINGTON - To put it bluntly, Texas wants President Bush to get out of the way of the state's plan to execute a Mexican (an illegal alien) for the brutal killing of two teenage girls.

[Ahhh so, Bushie thinks Texas is his tea garden once again! Hey Jorge, you are not the governor anymore!]

Bush, who presided over 152 executions as governor of Texas, wants to halt the execution of Jose Ernesto Medellin in what has become a confusing test of presidential power that the Supreme Court, which hears the case this week, ultimately will sort out.

[What confusion? Bush cannot commute or stop state execution of its laws. That is in the purview of the current sitting governor. Hey El Presidente Bush. Do you think you are king now and can reel off imperial rulings that we should all just genuflect and accept? Or are these commands of the head of the Bush Cartel?]

The president wants to enforce a decision by the International Court of Justice that found the convictions of Medellin and 50 other Mexican-born prisoners violated their rights to legal help as outlined in the 1963 Vienna Convention.

[The illegals are here in criminal violation of our laws. They form criminal gangs to break more laws, commit murder -as in the case in question- and then expect El Presidente Bush to ride in with the Bush Cartel and the Mexican Cavalry to their rescue. NEWS FLASH! AZTLAN has not yet been established. I gotta say that Bush is sure trying to help his true constituency. I wish WE had a president that stood up for the USA like that!]

The Bush Lame Duck appointments - Democrat Mukasey for AG...

...to suck up to the Dems in his waning days in the White House. Will Bush seek advice from Slick Willy for his exit strategy pardon and commutation list?

The Bush Cartel is beginning to reveal more of its Clinton-like traits. The compassionate conservatism of "jobs a citizen wont do" Bush was hogwash and was wishfull thinking by the conservative base that elected him. We are getting a good look at why liberal to moderate politicians are real snakes in the grass. Will Bush use Air Force One to beat a hasty retreat to his 98,000 acre compound in Paraguay [right next to the one owned by Reverend Moon, NO JOKE]? It is all over the Latin American press but is being kept very very quiet in the English speaking MSM. WHY? See Wonkettte for more on this...

Candidate Rudy does not even pretend to be a compassionate conservative. Do we need another 4 years of known moderate to liberal administration to follow the eight years of Bush?

From Yahoo! NEWS

How Bush's AG Pick Irritates the Right

If the administration was trying to avoid a fight with the left over the confirmation of Alberto Gonzales' replacement as Attorney General, they may have succeeded with the nomination of former New York district judge, Michael Mukasey. The question now is whether they'll have a fight with the right. Both in Mukasey himself, and in the process by which he picked him, Bush has gone against the right, spurning their favored choice, engaging with - and conceding to - Democrats, and naming a New Yorker who is an unknown quantity on many of the social issues about which they care most deeply.

The administration adopted the Clinton-like process of trial ballooning: leaking names through allies to see how much of a storm would ensue.

Mukasey is very close to former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, whom social conservatives distrust.

White House counsel Fred Fielding reached out to Democrats, including Bush's constant opponent Senator Charles Schumer [Chucky Schemer] of New York, who had previously recommended Mukasey as a Supreme Court nominee. Schumer and Fielding went so far as to discuss names, and Mukasey's came up.

"We're in an alternate universe," says one Senate aide. [You are in the Twilight Zone... ]

Mukasey is not guaranteed a free pass from the left. [SMOKESCREEN from the liberal MSM. They are eager to get a liberal lawyer into a nominal Republican administration to clear and sweeten the way for the most ethically challenged administration of Billary Clinton. Remember, the Constitution never foresaw a co-presidency and there are no safeguards against it. If Hillary is elected, I will be curious to see if Hillary has a kennel built in the basement to keep Slick Willy away from the interns.]

The Fort Dix Six and other criminals

[An email to president@whitehouse.gov]

El Presidente Jorge Bush,

Just curious... are The Fort Dix Six on your pardon list for when you leave office?

They should be as 3 of them are in your illegal alien constituency and should be near and dear to your heart.

Hmmm are you also going to pardon all the Club Gitmo detainees as your final act of clemency toward those who attempted to kill us? How about a blanket pardon for the crimes of Osama bin Ladin? After all, Osama helped to make you look like a leader.

Defenders of Thompson Just Like Defenders of Bush - Guest Editorial

[Received via email.]

Defenders of Thompson Just Like Defenders of Bush

by Richard A. Viguerie

www.ConservativesBetrayed.com

The defenders of Fred Thompson’s troubling record have not attempted to explain, mitigate, or refute any of the concerns expressed in my article, “Conservatives, Beware of Fred Thompson.”

Rather, they’ve attacked the messenger.

That’s exactly what President Bush’s political appointees--Peter Wehner and William McClay--did in response to my article in the Washington Post, “Bush’s Base Betrayal” and my book, Conservatives Betrayed: How George W. Bush and Other Big Government Republicans Hijacked the Conservative Cause (Bonus Books, 2006).

That’s an additional warning sign that Thompson may be a lot like Bush. Remember when Bush was running, a lot of good people thought he was a conservative.

Boy, were they taken in! [ed: I was taken in by the Compassionate Conservative label that someone cooked up.]

We’ve got to make sure we don’t go down that road again--not with Thompson or anyone else.

With Thompson, there are some definite warning signs. He was not actively pushing conservative legislation when he was in the Senate. The only issue he displayed any leadership on was--are you ready?--the McCain-Feingold Bill, which he cosponsored. Senator Russ Feingold (D-WI) said the bill could not have been passed without Thompson’s tremendous help.

In defending his support of this horrible legislation, Thompson has said he did not realize how the law would actually work.

Really? How exactly did he think it would work?

The Los Angeles Times discovered that, before Thompson was elected to the Senate, he had been a lobbyist for an abortions right group. Thompson denied it. Then, the New York Times located the billing records, thereby providing “the smoking gun.” This raises significant questions about either Thompson’s honesty or his mental abilities to recall significant information.

Sure, people change their mind on issues, including abortion. We welcome converts to the pro-life side. Thompson could have said, “I regret being a lobbyist for the abortion industry. But because I was once in a leadership position in support of abortion, I’m better able now to combat that point of view.”

Instead, he demonstrated that, at best, he might need medical attention to correct serious lapses in memory. I don’t know anyone who could forget about doing 20 hours of work for a pro-abortion group. At worst, Thompson may have gotten caught trying to “pull the wool over our eyes.”

The Washington Post’s investigation found that, before his election, Thompson worked as a lawyer who argued against the government’s authority to regulate drug paraphernalia. The U.S. Supreme Court unanimously ruled against Thompson.

In another case, Thompson tried to challenge U.S. Customs’ right to search a boat on which 28,000 pounds of marijuana was found. Fortunately, the U.S. Court of Appeals disagreed.

In addition to his work as a criminal lawyer, Thompson has filed a lot of civil suits. As a result, the political action committee of the plaintiff lawyers gave him the maximum $10,000 donation to each of his two Senate campaigns.

The Post reported, “Thompson defied Republican orthodoxy almost as soon as he arrived in Washington in 1995 as a freshman senator.”

To be fair, Thompson’s lifetime voting record in the Senate from the American Conservative Union was 86.1%. That’s not too bad. But it’s not as good as a lot of Republican senators, especially those from “red states.”

Conservatives need to take a good look at all of the candidates. We need to ask hard questions. If there’s a problem, we need to find out about it now, not later.

By raising issues of concern to conservatives, the campaigns can be forced to address our issues, rather than playing defense on the liberals’ terrain.

Obviously, Thompson would like to capitalize on his television persona as far as it can take him without having to take specific stands on tough issues. The truth is he’s no different from a lot of other candidates who’d like conservative support without firmly committing to conservative positions.

I’m going to do my best to see that doesn’t happen.

I hope conservatives will not be “climbing on board” the Thompson bandwagon or anyone else’s bandwagon without getting good answers to our questions and concerns.

Thompson can use the questions that have been raised about his record to try to establish a real bond with grassroots conservatives. If he does, he can win the nomination and the election. But if he comes across as a Bush-type Big Government Republican, I can tell you how this movie will end.

The Scooter Diversion....

The commutation of the 30 month sentence of Scooter Libby is a diversion to turn attention from the crashing defeat of the Bush-Kennedy backroom formulated amnesty. See the Bush hand waving out there? Better keep track of the other one with the knife in it. Bush is a back-stabber so you better keep in mind what else he is doing.

Also remember, Bush has reserved the full pardon of Libby for another diversion if he needs it.

Now lets get back to the business of lobbying congress for a resolution to build the border wall/fence or to start impeachment against Bush for extortion.

Ongoing amnesty debate at Blogs4Brownback

My latest response to Sisyphus, the blogger at Blogs4Brownback

This is cross posted to "No Amnesty - GOT IT?"

Sisyphus said: Once we get a handle on this immigration crisis, we can shrink the government again. Until then, we have to take it one step at a time.

James: Spoken like a true LARGE government type. Yup, someday we will reduce government but not now, it is too necessary. How is expanding government going to force pro-amnesty officials like Bush, McCain, Brownback, etc. to enforce any immigration laws, existing or proposed?

Go view the video at:

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=4094926727128068265&q=number&pr=goog-sl

This will answer why we need to get a handle on immigration.

Sisyphus said: Ilegal immigration is... But Brownback is committed to stopping that...Build 700 miles of border fencing and...Fund 370 miles of triple-layered fencing...

James: That was one of our original complaints. We want a full length fence. The senate voted for 700 miles of it and funded only half of that, but that will never be built just as current immigration laws are not enforced. So where will the allocated funding be squandered?

Sisyphus said: Deploy cutting-edge technology including cameras, sensors, and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs)...

James: This is great support for when the fence/wall is built. The triple layer fence is supposed to slow them down or stop them. The technology is supposed to allow for fewer guards to cover larger amounts of territory, and to be able to respond before all that is left of the illegals is tracks going north. If this cutting edge technology is so great, then we do not need to build prisons anymore. We could build a Motel Six, put electronic monitors on it, staff it with one or two guards, and then populate it with all the hard core criminals. How much do you want to bet that the motel/prison would be vacant except for the guards. You can examine the security tapes to see which way the criminals went as they exited. That is how much your high tech border security is worth all by itself, without the fence or wall.

Sisyphus said: Increase cooperation with state and local authorities to enforce our immigration laws

James: Ahhh here is the real rub. Cooperation has to start somewhere. Currently we have a federal government uninterested in enforcing immigration law. We have states with elected officials uninterested in enforcing immigration law. Seems like they are already cooperating to the fullest extent. Just in the wrong direction. Seems like the criminals are running the government.

We already have laws prohibiting employers from hiring those who are not authorized to work in the USA. They are not enforced...any more than any of the new tough sounding versions contained in S.1348 would be. Go to Chicago, New York, LA, Phoenix, Detroit, and you can find a thriving market selling false documents to illegals. That itself is illegal. So pile on more unenforced useless, toothless laws.

Solution: Start enforcing current immigration law. Simple. No new laws needed. The part of the system that is broken is the enforcement side starting at the upper management level (the president and his attorney general, radiating down through the inJustice Department). The immigration bill proposed by Bush-Kennedy does not address that.

President Eisenhower did it in the 1950s and no president since then has had a pair of juevos to follow suit.

A real eye opener Brownback supporters for United States of Mexico

Wander over to the Blogs4Brownback for some very revealing dialog in the comments... They think that we should adopt Mexico and get thousands of corrupt politicians as a bonus.They would be a new addition to the Democrat party. We are already homegrowing some of them in Calimexico in preperation for the festivities.

Two proposals... [1] adopt Mexico as a new state or [2] adopt them as a territory like Puerto Rico.

It would solve the illegal immigration problem from Mexico though!

Many Mexicans are really jealous of Puerto Rico because of the benefits they receive with territory status, essentially an independent country that gets to feed off the teat of the US Federal sow. Mexico shouldn't be envious. They get to export their indigent to the USA to breed an anchor and collect benefits that they use to support the economy of Mexico.

The awakening of America ... illegals are comin' out of the woodwork!

The awakening to the mass betrayal (rising to the level of treason, a death penalty offense in war time) from within the government of the elected representatives, senators, and sadly YES - even the President of the United States of America is finally happening. The lowest point of this loss of trust is that the media watchdog is part of the communist cabal and is cheering the treason on behind the scenes. The only reliable source of information today is AM talk-radio and known sources on the internet. The topic: Illegal Immigration and Border Security.

This time last year most talk show hosts would devote a segment to it and move on to whatever the MSM was promoting as their favorite media camoflage.

The illegals brought it on themselves last year. Those huge rallies in 2006 with the waving of Mexican flags, burning and other forms of desecration of the stars and stripes, plus the posters and all the other things that go with a communist backed "in your face" demonstration were a wakeup call to many. El Rushbo took some minor notice but didn't seem as serious because other political topics were higher on the horizon. (Rush claims to have spent whole segments on it. A segment is that 5 minute period of commentary between shameless extended breaks for advertizing.)

Since then we have discovered that talk show hosts thought to be conservative are of the amnesty whore camp (like amnesty pandering Michael Medved and Tony Snow for instance). Tony Snow defected to a full time job as defender and press secretary of the Amnesty Pimp in Chief.

Bush is the Amnesty Pimp and his street corner Amnesty Whores are in the US Senate ready to service the illegal community (twenty dollar, no holler). The senators are of both major parties plus independents so this is not a party issue. It boils down to traitor Amnesty Whores on the illegal alien side and patriots on the side of the citizens.

Go over to the AARP politics forum and mention anything to do with illegal immigration and the troll indentified as LegalEagle (or his/her other sock puppets) will jump in and try to reverse the discussion by inferring that patriots are discriminating against poor hard working undocumented folks who just came here to make a better life for themselves and the rest of their extended multigenerational families. You know the spiel, the one that Bush, Kennedy, and McCain have trade marked as their "it is NOT amnesty" screed.

Good Morning America... I am glad you are on board. It is almost too late but thanks for noticing!

Bush McCain Kennedy amnesty co-conspirators

The Iraq War as camoflage for Bush McCain Kennedy amnesty

The war against terror is a good and just cause but it is being used and perverted by politicians as cover for ulterior motives. The hand you see off to the right is wagging and waving like mad keeping you focused on the war while the left hand is busily inserting an amnesty knife in the back of working US citizen families. That is what the amnesty movement is, and it is aided and abetted by El Presidnte Jorge Bush, the MSM, Big Union (AFL-CIO), The US Chamber of Commerce, The Socialist Democrat Party, and certain members of the Republican Party. Believe it or not, out in California the Catholic Church has joined in on the side of the criminal left. With all this stacked against patriotic citizens, what are we to do? Become a Minutman. Stayed informed. Bombard your congressman with phone calls, letters, faxes, emails. Your congressman is most responsive to you because of his short term of office. It keeps him focused on his real constituents.

Have you noticed how both sides of the amnesty panderer's belly crawler brigade are using the Iraq War as cover while they quietly plot and scheme how to sneek past us with an amnesty package so rich in prizes for the current crop of illegals that millions more will be salivating for their turn to get into the US. The MSM acts as if Iraq is the be all and end all for our decision as to who will be our next president. Big Business represented by the US Chamber of Commerce wants millions more illegals to displace US citizens as a ready source of cheap labor. The AFL-CIO are Democrat drones in the new socialist reality and spout the party line which is amnesty. Our Republican leaders are balless wonders. We need someone who will protect our borders and sovereignty, here in the USA! Non existant borders are the current reality with Bush refusing to uphold current immigration law. The El Presidente uses trite mantra phrases like "It's not practical" and "...jobs citizens wont do!" as justification. [Elsewhere on this blog see The Republicrat Shamnesty Mantra]

Social Security and Totalization Agreements

I wrote a letter objecting to the Social Security Totalization Agreement to Senator Carl Levin and he wrote back explaining why it is good to be able to send billions of our Social Security money to Mexico. Carl is up for re-election in 2008 and this will be a nail in his re-election coffin. I have filed his letter as a reference. He supported it in his vote in the senate for social security for illegals and then in S.2611.

The USA currently sends billions and billions (with pronunciation like Carl Sagan - beeel-yuns and beeel-yuns) of Social Security funds to the following countries under totalization agreements [and you wonder why social security is going broke. They get theirs BEFORE you get yours!]:

From Senator Levin's letter the following already reap billions from totalization agreements:

• Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Chile, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Japan, South Korea, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the United kingdom, and negotiations are underway with the Czech Republic and Denmark.

On June 29, 2004 a Bush team negotiated a Social Security giveaway totalization agreement with Mexico. It has not yet been transmitted to congress with a report.

On January 4, 2007, Republican Senator John Ensign introduced Senate Bill 43 (aka s.43) to change the way totalization agreements are approved.by requiring an affirmative vote by the Senate and House before an agreement can go into effect. S.43 is languishing in the Democrat controlled Senate Committee on Finance where it will probably die.

Sam Brownback: Economic Savvy

Sam Brownback is slowly turning up the heat. He gets good marks from The Club for Growth and The National Taxpayers Union. He’s for the flat tax (a position Rudy aped in a dramatic flip-flop to earn an endorsement from Steve Forbes). See also: Sam Brownback on the Issues and Sam Brownback Cram Session. [ed: I DO agree that a flat tax is what is needed. We need to junk the tax code and the IRS. A simple flat tax could make the tax preperation industry go the way of the buggy whip manufacturers.]

Yesterday Sam Brownback reiterated his desire to save Social Security: [ed: For what? A reward to illegal aliens after they are awarded amnesty?]

Workers would invest a little less than half of their payroll taxes in stocks and other market-based investment funds under a plan the Kansas senator will he will lay out details in a speech to the anti-tax Club for Growth in Palm Beach, Fla., on Friday.

So stay tuned. Today is Friday. We’ll update you on the latest buzz soon. Continuing:

'The funds, instead of going into the government, are going into personal accounts that will be invested in the economy, creating capital and growth and economic activity,' Brownback said in an interview Thursday.

'This would reduce the size of the federal government overall,' he said.

As long as Sam Brownback stays on the path he’s charted, expect him to continue to climb in the polls as The Three RINOs fizzle out.

Update: More from Iowa Politics: Brownback To Push for Social Security Changes.

'There are more people under the age of 25 who believe in aliens than believe Social Security will be there when they retire,' Brownback said.

1. That last quote ought to appeal to the X-Files crowd!

He’s right though, and brave to bring it up. The media skewered President Bush when he dared to propose fixing Social Security.

Comment by Anti-Media - March 30, 2007 @ 2:18 pm

2. Quite right. Bush’s noble efforts to tackle the social security crisis will be looked back on favorably by history, despite being so unsuccessful.

Comment by Noonan - March 31, 2007 @ 5:01 pm

3. Whew, this is a relief, and all this time I have been thinking that Sam was all for giving away Social Security to illegal aliens. He voted to give away social security and a whole lot more last year. No legal SS number even required. Any available stolen SS number would do. Doesn’t matter how the illegal hosed the records of the legal holder of the number. Panderers will find a way to forgive any criminal activity to be able to keep the beloved illegals on US soil.

Social Security was instituted for US citizens as a citizen benefit paid for by US citizens and is being bastardized into a retirement plan for illegals with easy transfer of funds via Bank of America to Mexico and elsewhere.

Yesiree Bob… Sam sounds like the kind of pandering politician we need to go with the gaggle of panderers still in office and bureaucracy. He just has to fall to his knees, make the sign of the cross, and every one says 'We forgive you this little foible, Sam. Please lead us into the promised land!'

Lets see if Sam actually has had a change of heart or if he still holds true to his pandering ways.

4. No one loves the illegals, jrfoleyjr. But there are far too many of them for any Administration to deal with without vastly expanding the power of the State. Also, increasing your taxes about 350%. If that’s worth it to you, then go for it; but some of us enjoy low taxes and the right to have 15 minutes of privacy in our homes without SWAT team members crashing through the windows looking for Mexicans to shoot.

Comment by Sisyphus - April 2, 2007 @ 9:58 am

5. Well, Sisyphus, you could have really fooled me. You dont love those poor illegal undocumented immigrants who are just here to make some money to send back to Mexico? You just want to end by giving them all citizenship as a reward for illegal actions?

Until very recently, the Administration was making no attempts at all to deal with the immigration mess. At most it is now making showplace raids to try to stop the groundswell that is forming against the administration’s abject pandering to illegals.

The last administration to even try to handle them was back in the 1953, President Dwight David Eisenhower. He was successfull with one tenth the available manpower and a microscopic budget by comparison.

How do you figure a tax increase of 350% to fix the problem? We can afford it by simply reducing or eliminating the earmarks in legislation aimed at other things. If we took the funds for the bridge to nowhere and all the other pork and started building the wall/fence at the border, we could have full employment here in the US plus it would go a long way toward solving budget problems in those border states. The construction workers would have to live somewhere and spend wages somewhere. You dont think they would go across the border to spend them do you? These workers would be paying taxes too.

And PLEASE tell me where SWAT teams have been crashing through windows looking for Mexicans to shoot. Somehow, I think that would have made the 6 O’clock News around the country, so methinks you are fooling us a little there. Uh Oh… let me guess! Are you one of the illegals we have been discussing??? How many windows have you had to replace from SWAT breakage? How about your neighbors, friends, relatives, acquaintances?

Somehow, I have a hard time believing that someone as otherwise conservative as Sam Brownback could associate with all this! Illegal immigration is the issue that will derail him! If he thinks that he can just ignore it, he is wrong because there are a lot of us who will hold it in his face, as we do with McCain and other panderers.

Comment by jrfoleyjr - April 3, 2007 @ 9:01 am

[Sam's economic savvy seems to center around importing millions more illegals to be processed into citizens. So far I have not heard anything different from his sycophants and certainly not from Sam himself.]

Senate kumbayah session on illegal alien amnesty

Senators, evangelicals embrace immigration reform

By Sam Youngman

March 29, 2007

Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham (S.C.) joined a group of Democratic senators and evangelical leaders in calling for action on so-called comprehensive immigration reform.

Sens. Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.), Robert Menendez (D-N.J.) and Ken Salazar (D-Colo.), along with Graham, all argued that the immigration issue, which they said should include some sort of guest-worker program, is a moral one.

Graham said the country has broken borders, and when it comes to addressing illegal immigration, a broken Congress. “But I see hope,” Graham said.

Kennedy said he is confident there will be discussion of a reform package that contains a guest-worker program, adding this could “hopefully” begin within the next work period.

On issues like border security and enforcement, Kennedy said Democrats and Republicans had reached “broad agreement.” Few would dispute, though, that there continue to exist a number of contentious points of disagreement.

The bipartisan group of senators was joined by the House sponsors of immigration reform introduced last week, Reps. Luis Gutierrez (D-Ill.) and Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.).

The l
