It didn’t take long for one of the GOP establishment’s most public faces to reveal why House Speaker John Boehner’s amnesty advocate Becky Tallent was pushing last week to revive the once-dead border bill from House Homeland Security Committee chairman Rep. Mike McCaul (R-TX).
In a lengthy Senate floor speech on Wednesday, Sen. Jeff Flake (R-AZ)—a member of the “Gang of Eight” amnesty group from last Congress that failed to get its bill through both chambers—said that Republicans shouldn’t “poke the president in the eye” by fighting to stop his executive amnesty.

Jeff, your mission was to “poke the president in the eye.” Your mission was to stop 0bama. Jeff, you're not stupid, you did see the election results, right?
The Republican party is not an enemy to the democrats, it's an enemy to conservatives.

” What I find incomprehensible is that these pussies are quite comfortable kissing the asses of Soetoro, Reid and Pelosi. “
Look who gives them money. It’s the SAME people.
Litle Lefty Chucky Schumer prances around playing anti business lefty. Who put him on office?
WALL STREET, and Chuck has left them alone 100% of the time.
Flake is backed by the US Chamber, and the big banks. The left and Establishment Republicans both want amnesty and Obamacare.
CORRECT
I don't know where they think their support will come from in the future.
He was an undercover Dem operative for years. He had us all fooled.
At least he’s true to his name.
i guess the “lesser of evils” strikes the GOP again. mccarthy from bakersfield is another example. i have to confess, i don’t really understand the average voter in az—how arpio can be elected there along with mccain and flake, etc. i never spent more money on politics than i did trying to get rid of mccain. maybe there’s a big crossover dem vote in play, like what happened to mcdaniel and miller in ak.
SEN. JEFF FLAKE LAYS OUT PLAN FOR GOP TO CAVE TO OBAMA’S AMNESTY, stephenjohnbanker wrote:

Don’t matter. Scattering the questionaire around in his state sets the stage for a conservative to run against him.
McCain spent 21.6 MILLION to win, and had Palin running around, calling him a REAL conservative.
J.D.Hayworth spent 1.8 million
i know. but 1.8 M should have been enough. i think something else, irrational, is at play in az.
In AZ.....J. D. Hayworth + conservative voters against Jeff Flake + mormons and liberals....
Take a look at the mormons in the House and Senate and see just how many are in the pockets of the liberals.
hadn’t thought of that. thanks. i will.
Superb post. This is the defining issue.
Hey rookie, check the Federalist papers, our system was made for battle.
Battle is what keeps this country safe from internal Tyranny and Traitors.
