As to that leftist immigration meme about 'anti-illegal republicans losing' was proved as a bunch of baloney within days.

Someone posted those stats just the other day (for the benifit of the same newbie I believe) I'll see if I can track them down when I get home from town.

The lie, “anti-illegal immigration people cost the repubs the 2006 election!!

The truth:11.5% of all Republican seats in Congress were lost as Democrats took back control of Congress

But only 6.7% of the Members of Tancredo’s Immigration Reform Caucus lost their seats.AND- one of them was Hayworth who voted against HR 4437!

# 9.6% with an A grade lost

# 25.0% with an F grade lost
