Michelle Malkin IDs The RINOs On The Dream Act Fence - Including John McCain
Here's The Right Side Of It ^ | November 18, 2010 | John L. Work

Posted on 11/18/2010 1:50:12 PM PST by JLWORK

Michelle Malkin has posted an interesting piece about the Senate Republicans who are uncommitted as to how they intend to vote on the DREAM act, which of course will provide a path to permanent resident status of illegal aliens who are still in the country. Here’s the link to her story, complete with a video of none other than the infamous John McCain (every conservative’s favorite) addressing a gathering of – illegal alien advocates.

Malkin has posted a list of the spineless Repubs who thus-far refuse to commit one way or the other on the amnesty bill that will not die: “..SEN. JOHN MCCAIN 202-224-2235; 480-897-6289: Staff says he “hasn’t made a public statement” and “hasn’t made up his mind.” He talked a tough border security game to get re-elected, while promising illegal alien activists he would “resolve their issues.” (Refresh your memories here.)

SEN. OLYMPIA SNOWE 202-224-5344; 207-874-0883: Staff says she “hasn’t released a statement.”

SEN. SUSAN COLLINS 202-224-2523; 207-945-0417: Staff says she “hasn’t released a public statement.”

SEN. LISA MURKOWSKI 202-224-6665; 907-271-3735: Staff says she’s “still reviewing the bill.”

SEN. SAM BROWNBACK 202-224-6521; 785-233-2503 Staff says he “hasn’t had a chance to look at it” and remains non-committal.

SEN. KAY BAILEY HUTCHISON 202-224-5922; 214-361-3500: Staff says she “hasn’t released a statement,” but will probably do so later today.

SEN. GEORGE LEMIEUX 202-224-3041; 904-398-8586: Recorded message informs callers that he’s “in a meeting.” He has yet to publicly state his position as open-borders extremists step up pressure…”

This is the same John McCain who co-authored the 2007 McCain-Kennedy amnesty bill that would have granted citizenship by midnight express for twelve to fifty- million aliens (depending on whose numbers you want to believe) – while America slept. But for talk radio and the conservative bloggers, like Malkin, he might have pulled it off.

Then Mr. McCain faced a real challenge from J.D. Hayworth in the Arizona primary for the 2010 Republican Senate nomination. This re-constituted McCain talked tough, asking, “Where’s the dang fence?”, or something like that. Well, he got himself elected again and look what’s he done – he’s going wobbly on illegal immigration. Anyone surprised?

Don’t look now, but there are still about two months left for the leftists (including McCain) to get this amnesty done – and by virtue of the millions of new Democratic voters, guarantee their hold on power for a thousand years.

I know how Joe Miller would have voted and there would be no hesitation.

Even if he were elected, he'd have to wait to vote until 2011. Leeeza Murghawwski would still have the vote this year.
