Can This Republican Bring the GOP Back to Its Senses on Immigration? (Flake: New McCain Mini-Me)
Daily Beast ^ | December 29, 2014 | Tim Mak

Posted on 12/29/2014 1:19:20 PM PST by C19fan

Sen. Jeff Flake, the vocal proponent of immigration reform from Arizona, has a New Year’s wish: serious action in the issue from the House of Representatives, and soon.

The 2014 midterm elections are just months behind us, but already Flake feels the pressure of the 2016 presidential elections. In an interview with The Daily Beast earlier this month, the Republican senator—one of the few Republicans in Congress still aggressively push hard for immigration reform—urged quick legislative progress on a series of measures on the matter before politicians get too caught up in the next election cycle.

“The closer we get to ‘16, the tougher it’s going to be, so I hope we start quickly,” he said. “When you get closer to any big election, people are more risk-averse. A lot of people see this as a risk, both ways.”

I wonder if Lindsay Graham is getting jealous Jeff Flake might replace him as the McCain Mini-Me? I will not vote for an Open Borders candidate who is for the destruction of the middle/working class even if that means the Donkey will win. Rather get stabbed with the attacker facing me than in the back. In the end, either way you are dead.

I though Lindsay was ‘making noises’ about running for the presidential nomination, just three weeks ago. Maybe he’s the only one who wants to hear that noise.

I voted for Flake. I will never do so again. The man is a horrible person, one violated his commitment to conservative principles.

I’m starting to get the feeling there are no politicians who care about taxpaying American citizens.

Flake and McCain have 30% approval in AZ.

I don’t think Flake’s association with the dog killers or Fidel Castro will help.

"I will not vote for an Open Borders candidate "

And, when faced with both a Democrat and Republican, who are both advocates of open borders...OR the Legalization of those who are now here Illegally...I will vote Democrat.

I will do so to hasten the end of the corrupt regime now residing in Wash DC.

It would be time to burn it all down and start over.

“When you get closer to any big election, people are more risk-averse.

That is, they start thinking about what the voters want. In Flake's view that's a bad thing.

The question now is ‘Will AZ come to its senses on Flake?” I hope that Texans will ditch the similar traitor Cornyn who did not even bother to support Cruz’s efforts on defunding the EO in the CRomnibus. these guys make me sick!

Can you take a moment out of a busy Christmas - New Year’s holiday season and help promote this crucial series of national rallies on 2015-01-03 ?

Momentum is building “nationally” for the rallies, and it’s already scheduled for at least one radio interview on Monday.

What makes these illegal aliens better than Americans? I wish somebody would tell me that. Is it their love of being dependent on big government Democrats? Their love of free stuff! Their willingness to have children? What?

I fell for his "I'm an Arizona conservative" schtick too.

Never again!

I would like serious action on immigration as well. It would be called enforcing the damn law, honoring our borders and deporting the felons and repeat violators.

Then, we could talk about a limited amnesty for the valedictorians and business owners who actually net pay taxes.

"We can't deport everybody!" should not be code for "We can't deport anybody!"
