Born-again amnesty hawk Mary Landrieu attacks opponent over border fence she called “dumb” last year

Mary Landrieu, one of the Senate’s most endangered Democrats, thinks it’s very important for voters in her ostensible home state to know that her top Republican opponent is soft on border security. She’s running an attack ad in which the narrator scoffs at a short clip of Rep. Bill Cassidy expressing doubts about the efficacy of a border fence back in 2010. The spot goes on to tout Landrieu’s votes in favor of “triple layer fencing” along the Mexican border, and her “nine votes” against amnesty. Because if there’s one thing Mary Landrieu is against, it’s amnesty. And if there’s one thing she’s for, it’s a giant border fence, right? Right. Over you to you, Senator:

“You are correct. I voted for the dumb fence once. I’m not going to do it again…so if somebody else wants to go and vote for the dumb fence for the second or third time, go right ahead.”

She delivered that floor speech in June of 2013. And what to make of those righteous votes “against amnesty”? Landrieu was reportedly among the embattled Democrats begging President Obama to put off his (unpopular, sweeping and legally dubious) executive action on immigration until after the elections. Her cynical, self-interested wish was granted. But when Sen. Jeff Sessions forced a Senate vote on the matter in July, whose side did Mary take? The same side she takes 97 percent of the time:

Plenty of Freepers still hold the Lib position on a fence. Some even post info from LaRaza to support their position.

Imagine that.

You can say anything when your voter base is made up of a bunch of low information/low intelligence voters.

The Lans were the primary reason NO flooded in the first place!

They hold all the maintenance and supply contracts for the levees and pumping stations there.

I still remember Katrina, and the Mary and Katy ventriloquist act. The reporters asked Katy a question, and Mary would whisper in her ear, and Katy would repeat it.

Pro-amnesty American citizens must think that the rest of us 300,000,000 Americans are blind and stupid.

I say the above for this reason: The pro-amnesty people demand that President Obama give work visas to at least 8,000,000+ illegals.

But many of these 8,000,000 illegals have husbands/wives and children.

So my point is this: Pro-amnesty people are not really talking about 8,000,000 illegals, because they know in their hearts that they are really talking about more like 24,000,000 illegals----3 times 8,000,000 illegals--- who will eventually get AMNESTY when President Obama takes his pen and quickly signs his executive order in a few weeks.

Why do I use the number of 24,000,000 illegals? I do so for the following reasons:

1. Obviously, illegal immigrant men need their wives and children to keep them company.

2. And illegal immigrant women need their husbands to help them with the children.

3. Also, these illegal immigrants with their new work visas will now have no fear that immigration agents will be coming to their home to check to see how many in the household besides the bread winner are here illegally.<>

4. So I believe that multiplying 8,000,000 illegals by 3 is a conservative estimate---an estimate based on a household with two parents, one child. Of course, many households will be single households with no children, but, as we know, many, many households of illegals who will be given work visas will have two or more children.

5. Again, when President Obama quickly signs his executive order soon after the mid-term elections, he will NOT be giving amnesty to just 8,000,000 illegals as the pro-amnesty people want us to believe.

6. Rather, when the smoke clears, anti-amnesty people will wake up one morning and realize that the pro-amnesty people and President Obama have pulled off one of the biggest scams in history, because President Obama really gave amnesty to 24,000,000 illegals, not 8,000,000 illegals as President Obama will claim when he signs his executive order soon after the mid-term elections.

NOTE: 'Because it was the right thing to do." This is Obama's favorite phrase when he wants to justify his decision on a controversial subject like illegal immigration.

It is as if Obama wants us to believe that his decision is divinely inspired, that is, God himself told him what to do. What a bunch of crap.

So be prepared to hear Obama's phrase---"Because it was the right thing to do"---over and over after Obama signs the worst executive order ever.

It is the worst ever because President Obama will lie to us and give amnesty to not 8,000,000 illegals as Obama will lead us to believe when he signs the executive order, but to an unbelievable number of 24,000,000 illegals. Sick. Sick. Sick.

Democrats attempt to run as conservatives... then when elected they turn back into liberal elites on speed. They run as conservatives because lying to the American people is easy for them... seems all democrats are liars.
