No, the GOP/RINO establishment gave it away.
Richardson is next in the spotlight, I'd bet. The lib-dems smell blood in the water, and face-time on the TV cameras.
"Napolitano has stolen the border issue ... "
Call it like it is... it's not theft, she was GIVEN the border issue by one George W. Bush. Apparently Napolitano is more interested in votes than providing cheap labor for friends and contributors.
Can W say the same?
Look out in '06. Most people I talk to have come to the conclusion that one party in control of the presidency AND congress is a bad idea. Would be difficult to argue that point in today's environment.
If this happens, the MSM will of course cover for Janet and ignore the lack of action and results by the troops. But over time, this could backfire badly on Janet and the Dems as the truth emerges that this is nothing but an expensive political stunt. This is going to be interesting to watch, and if the troops actually start arresting Mexicans at gunpoint then this stunt could backfire badly on the Dems and drive more Hispanics into the GOP. The Dems may have just shot themselves in the foot here and put themselves in a no-win situation in their eagerness to attack Bush.
I'll be waching this closely and give you some reports from local Arizona media.
In the invaded state of Arizona, someone had to, though she probably doesn't like it.
WHY hasn't the great hero McCain spoken out in defense of Arizonans? He remains deaf and dumb to this huge problem.
Napolitano will be followed by other ingenuous democrats and the Mexicans and OTM's (other than Mexicans.)
Was Governor Napalitano ever going to give her executive approval to tax credits for corporations that provide private school scholarships?
Last summer she told legislators and advocates of school choice that she would indeed sign off on such legislation. No, she's not a fan of school choice. But she went along with it because of other stuff she wanted to get done budget-wise.
But when the legislation reached her, she yanked the football, leaving parents and kids tumbling in the dirt. Problem was, the tax credit "didn't sunset." Gee, maybe it would have been nice to mention that BEFORE? Well, okay, some kind of miscommunication, let's say. So the backers of the school choice bill gamely added the required sunset provision. The legislation passes again. And the governor vetoes it again!
The speaker of the house at the time, Jim Weiers, says there is only one explanation. According to his theory -- and I'm just repeating what he told reporters -- the governor LIED TO HIM. Said she wasn't going to yank the football, then yanked it after all. Well, it's a theory.
Lucy -- I mean Janet -- how can we trust you now?
This is Common Sense. I'm Paul Jacob.
