“The media can keep repeating this all they like, if the GOP did not want a Kennedy bill to pass they could filibuster it. Kyl is going along with it because he supports amnesty and guest worker programs and not because he didn’t have a choice.”
Correct. He was pandering for votes last year. this is his true face.
NYTimes is in lockstep with Bush on memes and spin. Kyl’s “needs” need not be satisfied, the bill would pass in the Senate with or without him.
What is necessary is to not educate the public about the bill’s particulars. One way is to demonize, the other way is to proclaim “bipartisanship” . the latter will fail and Bush we revert to demonization.
Kyl is a deceitful liar, Bush’s type of guy.
It isn't just the NY Times either, the Washington Post was actually giving Bush advice about doing more to push the bill and magically the next day he started doing so with his press conference. These papers know the millions of democrats this will add and so does Bush.
IOW, Kyl is a political prostitute, who is willing to sell out his country for his own personal ego-stroking.
I wonder how his ego will feel, when history brands him a Quisling traitor?
How many times has Kyl raised his right hand, with his left hand on a Bible, and sworn to uphold the Constitution?
