Watching Graham. He says the border is already militarized and the most secure it has ever been.

You gotta wonder what could possibly motivate such a statement from a Senator who is up for reelection in a supposed conservative state like SC.

On the surface it seems almost self-destructive to advocate 20-30 million more illegals be made legal and vote for the the other side giving them a near permanent majority assuring we don't win future elections,WTH! Especially in a state that struggles as much as SC does.

This is why I think there has to be much more to the story than we are being shown.

I'm thinking bribery,payoffs, graph, corruption,on a massive scale that has been going on for a while.

Think about it nothing else makes any sense.

Rush said it this week: Follow the money- there is some big campaign donations to Graham’s campaign that are making him say this

I think these nitwits really believe that Mexican-Americans will start voting for them if they just GIVE them something.

Politics, it has long been said, is about addition, not subtraction.

You buy the voters with goodies like amnesty.

But as the polls actually show, most Mexican voters here care more about government largesse than they do about their own illegals. And the Republicans will NEVER be able to match the Dems in the handout department—will they?

It’s a great big loser issue for the Republicans but they are so stupid...

Oh well.

I have finally realized that politicians who stay in politics, especially the same office, can't be or remain conservative. They have to like big government in order to stay. So Lindsey is not acting out of place, he's suffering from the same case of chronic rectal/cranial inversion that all long-term politicians suffer from, which make them think that they are the answer, even if they don't know what the question is.

The only politicians worth electing are people who are willing to self-impose term limits and then go back home when their time is up; not stay in the DC Court of St James to be a lobbyist or Fox New contributor. It's the major difference between the people who founded this country and current cast of clowns; the founders wanted to go home, so they stopped arguing and moved forward.

The Reps who support this bill are doing so because of the guest worker programs. The number of guest workers is doubled under this bill giving big business and big agriculture more cheap labor to depress wages further and increase their bottom line. These corporate interest are huge donors to both parties. Reps like Graham are willing to do the bidding of their corporate masters even if it means destroying the country.

When you have the Koch brothers, Murdoch, the American Chamber of Commerce, et. al., joining forces with the labor unions, La Raza, Soros, Obama, Schumer, and Durbin, it is obvious that our political and corporate elites have reached a consensus on what is best for us.

Pardon me for taking exception with this. Supposed conservative state? I can assure you that SC is most definitely a conservative state. One of the reddest around.

Simply put, Linda is a mistake. One we're hoping to take care of next year in the Senatorial primary.
