Immigration Kabuki Theatre: With Senator Landrieu As “Two-Face” (the McCain Border Fence Gambit)
redstate.com ^ | 9/11/14

Mary Landrieu when she’s electorally safe.

And here’s Mary Landrieu’s new ad now that she’s electorally endangered.

The ad then notes that Landrieu “voted to double the border patrol, build triple-layer fencing, and voted nine times to block amnesty….I’m Mary Landrieu, and I approve this message because on border security, I’ll put my record up against anyone, especially Bill Cassidy,”

If Jeff Foxworthy were hard up for material, I’ve got a few lines that can help until he ditches the writer’s-block. You might be a Democratic Senator near Election Day if: “You suddenly decide going golfing with Obama would be your handicap.” “You have velvet pictures of both Elvis and Ray Charles to promote cultural diversity.” “Jesus stops being a curse-word in your daily vocabulary.” And finally, you might be a Democrat Senator near Election Day if… The idea of a Border Fence stops being one of your comedy punch-lines.

Yes, that’s right. As we close in on Election Day, and Democratic Senator Mary Landrieu sees her career-dissipation light begin to flicker, she has pulled an old, cynical chest-nut out of the playbook of John McCain. She now worries about illegal immigration. She now claims to want a border fence. This is not in any sense reflective of Mary Landrieu’s true position on the issue. This reflects her position in getting to stay in DC and represent The DC Political ClassLouisiana in The United States Senate.

I really, really hope the people of Louisiana are paying enough attention to see through Landrieu’s election year BS. All politicians do it, but this is so obvious that she should win a prize for cynical, election year “say whatever you need to say” politics.

The vast majority of senators spend the first five years of their term as at large promoters of their party, typically Uniparty, interests.

Come the sixth year, even the despicable Landrieu knows she has to cast an amnesia spell over the electorate and pretend to be what she and her party are not.

Party elites understand this and make no fuss when senate rats diss El Presidente and don't vote his way in year six.

It wasn't supposed to be this way in the American republic.

“I actually voted to fund the fence before I voted against it.”

Seems like a familiar Democrat line.

It is tough when you must continually lie to try and hold onto power.
