HH: Now Senator Kyl, why the attacks on talk radio from your colleagues, Senators Lott and Graham? It doesnt, in any event, it cannot possibly help the party, and it cant help the bill. What are they thinking?
JK: You know, I hate to speak for my colleagues, but I can suggest in the case of Senator Lott, because Ive talked to him about it, is just said in frustration. If you look at it from his standpoint and mine, there is so much misinformation, and by the way, a plug for you, whatever your feelings on the legislation, youve tried very hard to get facts out. I mean, you just asked me a series of about eight questions that are designed to elicit information.
HH: Right.
JK: Well, not all talk radio is quite that constructive. And Im afraid that theres some of my friends who, for ratings or whatever purposes, have chosen to ignore some of the facts, and stress some things that were incorrect.
This is big business, democrats, and big old churches. They just want the bodies, and they do not care about you and your family. Low wages is good for them.
The good Senator doesn’t lie about everything — this is a true statement. That he claims the misinformation is coming from other than the supporters of amnesty is dishonest, of course. So, at some level he’s honest, just not honest enough for me.
The only propagandists here are you and your allies Kyl.
You have destroyed your reputation, and I sense nothing but bitterness. What? Did you think we’d honestly forsake our country and conservatism because you agreed to be used as a token for Bush and kennedy? You aren’t that important to us senator. If Rush and sessions agreed to represent this bill we still wouldn’t relent. but they aren’t so willing to sell out.
And if you’d had one ounce of integrity in your being you’d have revealed the slimeball you are during the election last year.
And yet hewitt wrote a column defending this snake.
I can’t believe what a sucker I have been to vote for Senator Kyl all these years.
Somebody, Bush or one of his flunkies?, is rattling skeletons in Kyl’s closet. Wonder what they have on him.
They are ganging up on the American people, using talk radio as a scapegoat, because they have lost.
Even if they passed this nightmare, they’ll pay for it at the polls. If enough Senators have a smidgeon of sense and deny it cloture, they still lose. Kyl’s reputation as a conservative stalwart is in tatters. he’ll never rebuild that trust. neither will McCain or Lott for anyone that actually still respected those two.
they are angry, they are bitter, and they are afraid.
Please don’t put Kyl on the level of McCain.
McCain did not flip flop.
Kyl is worse.
Even more, not only did Kyl Flip Flop, but he’s leading the charge!
Kyl a sleaze.
SENATOR CLAIMS: Clinton, Boxer Conspiring to Reign In Talk Radio

Let’s hope they have lost, and when the dust clears we will know where everyone stands. This is like a shake out, a time of choosing sides, and Sen. Kyl has attacked his allies, probably needlessly. He’s joined those who’ve picked the fight, and now the volume should be turned up, both on talk radio and from our candidates.
Another fan of Hugo Chavez shows himself.
I am beginning to think you are right and my guess is the guru of Bush almost getting beat by kerry and the 2006 election debacle where Rove/Bush ran people against incumbents in the primary because the incumbents were against illegal immigration is the culprit. Heard he has been arm twisting and threatening according to some sources and it is not working with a lot of Senators.
True. Some of JK's friends have done that and more. His friends in the Senate and White House.
What hypocritical lying scum he and his cronies are.
I thought I saw Hugo yesterday, mowing my neighbors lawn. But when I offered him amnesty, or at least a lemonade, he ran in the general direction of, ah, South?
He used to one of the friendliest politicians to the local talk show hosts. He’s done a 180 on everything.
Yeah, we should all get the news from Katie Couric and tell us how us racist bigots oppose allowing these sweet illegals to come here and freeload.
All of Congress should resign if this monstrosity passes.
He wants to be judge, you know...
BTW, somebody needs to rip off Rush’s golf clubs so he gets his ass back to work.
