>> Five of those seven states – Maryland, Iowa, New Mexico, Massachusetts and Illinois – are actually on record in favor of Obama’s executive amnesty plan. In each of those states, the Democrat attorney general has signed a friend-of-the-court brief expressing support for Obama’s executive action to grant amnesty to up to 5 million illegal immigrants. The governors of these five states have remained silent and allowed their AGs to take the lead. <<

Gov. Rauner of Illinois hasn't been "silent" on this issue. He went on record to say he SUPPORTS Obama's amnesty plan and that it's a "good first step" but doesn't go far ENOUGH for RINO Rauner's tastes.

The usual suspects.

I wonder what they were promised in return.

"7 GOP governors elect not to fight Obama's amnesty"

Prior to Obama's second term when I would read a headline like this my immediate reaction would be "well they are RINOs."

These last few years it finally sunk in that "no, THEY are not RINOs. They are what the Republicans are now. I am the RINO."

Christie, Hogan, Baker and Rauner I do not think are really Republican. Christie is anti-union and liberal about everything else, right? Hogan and Baker put an R on their name and somehow won...perhaps because their Demon Rat predecessors were such failures. And Rauner, IIRC, donated to Obama—then for some reason decided to make a run as a Republican because he didn’t win the Demon Rat beauty contest.

Martinez spoke at the last RNC...stayed very much away from social issues and talked only about money. So there you go.

Don’t know much about Branstad and Mead.

RINO herd.

Republican Governor Wall of Shame...

Christie, Hogan, Martinez, Baker, and Rauner, only qualify as republicans because they are slightly left of center in extreme left-wing states. They are obviously more concerned about getting re-elected than they about the constitution, separation of powers, upholding the law, etc. Branstad represents the Iowa agri-industry which is built on a business model that is dependent upon government handouts and cheap illegal labor. What's Meads excuse?

[ExCTCitizen]

Did Paul LePage fighting Obama.. I hope so. LePage is a great northeastern Republican governor

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Larry Hogan of Maryland

Well, that didn't take long!

Maryland "Freak State" PING!
