Are you suggesting it is a lie?

I am suggesting it's MEANINGLESS.

[Mr Rogers]

Time will tell. I wish we could make a bet.

” Won’t matter. McSally is a Chamber of Commerce bought politician.

Chamber of Commerce wants Obamacare since it moves the cost of health-care from their members onto individuals including covering the costs of Illegals.

And of course, McSally will vote for Amnesty.

I’m not sure how she helps except to move the GOP to the left. “

Today, Jan 14,2015, we got our proof (we knew it anyway)

That’s exactly what a bunch of FReepers said about Raul Labrador in 2010. I think I’ll wait to see what her voting record is like before declaring her to be Gabby Giffords with an R next to her name. (But I’ll go out on a limb and assert that she won’t have as conservative a voting record as Labrador does, given that her district is 20% less Republican than Labrador’s district.)

See post #23 for an explanation of the proof you desired.

What’s the proof? That she cast a vote, joined by over 90% of House Republicans (and virtually no Democrats), to defund Obama’s executive-order amnesty of November? Watch out, La Raza, apparently over 90% of House Republicans are prospective members!

La Raza is clearly more conservative than the eeeeeeeeeeeeevil Chamber of Commerce.

Today was a tricky one for many Representatives in swing districts, and Arizona Reps. Kyrsten Sinema (D-CD9) and Martha McSally (R-CD2) issued statements that ignored some of their thornier votes.

Arizona's Politics has been detailing the votes on some of the amendments related to immigration and President Obama's executive actions proposed by Republicans.  The amendments were attached to the Homeland Security funding bill.

While Sinema and McSally both voted the party line on the final bill - which passed 236-191 with only 2 Democrats and 10 Republicans crossing lines - both crossed party lines on at least one of the amendments.

Sinema was one of 14 Democrats to vote for Arizona colleague Matt Salmon's (R-CD5) amendment, and McSally was one of 26 Republicans to vote against the Blackburn amendment to defund the immigration-related executive actions.

Ask and ye shall receive!

Yawn. Given that the Chamber of Commerce supports amnesty for illegal aliens in general, not just for the small number of “Dreamers” that Obama half-legalized in DACA (but didn’t place on a path to citizenship) about a year ago, the fact that McSally voted for defunding Obama’s November executive-order amnesty that half-legalizes millions of additional illegal aliens is a huge slap in the face of the Chamber of Commerce. Your predictions that McSally would be a CoC lackey that would support amnesty have been proven wrong, at least so far.

Regarding the Blackburn amendment, House Republicans separated it from the general bill because they knew that *defunding DACA would never withstand a filibuster in the Senate*, and thus trying to defund DACA would sink the entire bill unless it was separated. As we speak, Harry Reid is scheming to have the Senate vote on the Homeland Security funding with the Blackburn amendment attached to it in an attempt to have the Senate filibuster the whole kit and caboodle, while Senate Republicans need to hold firm and have two separate votes, one for the general bill and one for the Blackburn amendment. So, disappointing as it was for McSally and 25 other Republicans to have voted against the Blackburn amendment, it will have zero effect on anything, other than in protecting her from 2016 attack ads featuring nuclear engineers brought to America illegally at the age of 2. The big vote was on the general funding bill, Roll Call 35, in which McSally joined Jim Jordan, Louie Gohmert, Steve King and just about every other conservative Republican (plus the only two Democrats that represent a district in which Romney got 53% or more of the vote) in prohibiting the use of funds for the enforcement of Obama’s massive November 2014 executive-order amnesty. http://clerk.house.gov/evs/2015/roll035.xml
