TUCSON, Ariz. -- Randy Graf is a tough-on-immigration Republican in a district that is fed up with people pouring illegally across the border and hasn't elected a Democrat to the House in two decades. Yet Graf's national party is turning its back on him, the retiring Republican congressman he wants to succeed has disavowed his candidacy and he's finding trouble getting traction beyond the most secure GOP voters _ and a border militia that's backing him.

Another pro-illegal alien media hit piece.
Exactly right. It is pathological. Not to mention suicidal. Likely will get impeached first thing. Apparently, if there is any "deal" with any "bipartisan" buddies...he forgot one basic rule:
There is No honor among thieves.
and people wonder why a lot of conservatives are 'flipping the bird' toward the RNC this year and sitting it out. not that this is good, but the phenomenon is at least somewhat decipherable.
Oh come on now. Leave Dolly alone. I believe that she was on a show and said she was Republican, but not into politics. That is exactly the type of actor I want. One that keeps there mouth shut and acts whether Republican or Democratic.
Hell McCain endorsed him, fact is when he won the primary polls showed him down double digits. You can't afford to throw cash around this late in the game. But if he closes ( which he might be doing ) then you will see more support from RNC.
Run that congressman's name through the muck. If Graf has to get on a soap box for coverage --hope he does it. The Republican Party is between a Burrito and a hard place. The party elites have turned a deaf ear to what the people want--and thank God that some in the Congress know that and are responsive. I am registered Republican because I don't want to be a registered Democrat (and I was until last year)....but my politics is much more paleo con with a strong libertarian tinge and I'd rather be a rebel in my own right that an tuchus-lekher (a$$ ki$$ing) up at the Manhattan GOP head-quarters.
As Dolly said, "It costs a lot of money to look this cheap"
Go Randy Go
Sierra Vista Deserves the best after Kolbe
If this is a Conservative Republican district why is this guy on the verge of losing? Either the polls are wrong and biased against him which is of course a big possibility or he has a repugnant character that does not attract a majority of voters. Which is it?
Despite losing with his huge smear campaign against J.D...he has his schills running around claiming that he is ahead. Kind of obvious this whole campaign was nationalized a long time ago by the Rats...and JD was especially targetted by this scum-bag AMNESTY-SUPPORTING LIAR.
The RATs all try and run under cover of McCain. Need I say more?
So either of your two opinions or nothing at all?
Could it be soon to be ex-Congresman Kolbe has refused to endorse him, and the RNC did the DNC's job during the Republican primaries by doing their best to interfere and convince Republican voters NOT to support him while at the same time prejudicing outside swing voters against him? Creating ill will amongst the Republican ranks AND creating doubt in Indy's?
Nah, couldn't be that at all...
I don't believe polls that have over a 10% deficit. Unbelieveable in this district. But I am well aware of the fact his election was made tougher because the GOP couldn't stand the idea of a Minuteman that doesn't embrace amnesty in their midst and thought they could oust him in the primary. They failed to do so, and now have put retention of the seat at risk because open borders meant more then the Majority they SAY conservatives need to retain. Too bad their actions don't mimic their words in this instance.
Because the district covers Green Valley and his DNC rival is playing the they will take away your Social Security Card
I'm not sitting out this year, but other than Katherine Harris, I am flipping the GOP the bird. I have had enough of them. The alternative is worse, however, that's why I vote Republican.
By the way the RNC is endorsing many anti-illegal immigration candidates all over the country, one of them is Bilbray from California.
