Kyl calls talk radio liars
Hugh Hewitt show ^ | June 21, 2007 | Hugh Hewitt

Posted on 06/21/2007 6:31:37 PM PDT by fifedom

HH: Now Senator Kyl, why the attacks on talk radio from your colleagues, Senators Lott and Graham? It doesn’t, in any event, it cannot possibly help the party, and it can’t 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 I’ve 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, you’ve 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 I’m afraid that there’s 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.

IMO, they are both despicable in their own ways. Though my dislike for Kyl is far more raw given his betrayal came out of “left” field. I no longer distinguish between my enemies, all have the same goal in mind. Controlling the American people, establishing themselves as our royal class.

Be it Kyl, McCain, kennedy even Bush. All liars. All betrayers of the good people that elected them to represent them. Some doubt about the people of Mass, but the other states? They didn’t vote for this.

I would love to know in what harebrained concoction they’ve deduced silencing talk radio will help get a Republican elected. Oh, right, all the mexicans granted amnesty will vote for them. LOL

There is a big difference between Trent Lott and Robert Byrd. Robert Byrd doesn’t back down or bow to the Gods of PC, betray his base, or support amnesty. I used to laugh about Byrd, but no more - he stopped an attempt for amnesty several years ago and is more conservative on immigration than Kyl, McCain or Lott.

They must harbor some illusion that (a) we (the rank and file) will forgive and forget and/or (b) that these immigrants will be so grateful that they’ll all start voting GOP.

Backstabbers. They are all deluded. People from the right and left are getting sick of the real problem: elitists who lie to us and take us all for fools. The elitists are mad, because they're getting those "Bush pesos" contributions to the RNC/DNC.

They're desperate because we the sheeple are onto them. There is a quiet revolution going on, and they are running scared, because they have lost control. They pushed us too hard, backstabbed us once too often, and lost their base. This time we will neither forgive nor forget, nor will we give them one red cent!

That’s a good point.

Know what? We need to get all candidates on the record about the attacks these elites have made. Including our presidential candidates. they need to be added to the lists of contacts we make this wekk, not just our Senators. make them take a position on Kyl, on Lott, on McCain.

Thanks. This could be a good time for one of the “second tier” candidates (tiers a MSM creation to control the contest) to break out by coming to the defense of the talk show callers and hosts. Mitt Romney may have to choose sides on this, and I hope he gets it right. Fred Thompson, he’ll be helpful for sure, and will probably sum up the situation in a folksy but wise sentence or two.

Byrd has earned some respect. Maybe the people of West Virginia weren’t so wrong to keep him around. At least he doesn’t try to sell away their citizenship for $5000.

Yup saw that. A few years ago Hitlery wanted to silence the internet also. What a champion for First Amendment rights.

They also refused to support Randy Graf and any other candidate who spoke the truth on illegal immigration.

How true. The RNC screwed Graf because he was against Amnesty. Bush and the RNC supported a Democrat over a Republican in an effort to further their Amnesty goals.

The Democrat - Gabby Giffords is a complete light weight. Votes along with Nancy Pelosi.

My only hope is that the Republican that runs for the seat in 2008 is against Amnesty.

"HH: And can I ask you again, why didn’t we increase the fence at all in this latest iteration as a trigger, Senator Kyl?"

"JK: With all of the other things that there were to do, I didn’t press it. I know that it is important, you’ve raised the issue before. I know that we can do 371 miles of fencing within the next 16, 17 months at a minimum, probably more than that. I wasn’t sure how much we could do beyond that, and I just never pressed the point, because I do have a commitment from the Secretary of Homeland Security that they are going to keep on building. So they’re not stopping at 371. But he did tell me that it would be, that there would be a substantial increase in cost if he tried to hire additional people to build additional miles of fence in addition to what’s being done already."

There's no plan to control the border in this bill.

IT is long time for some of these old RINO’s go and retire. It is too bad when Senator Byrd is right and we have Trent Lott, Geroge W., and the rest of the RINO crew wrong.

As for the statement that we are going to lose ‘08, not if we all get behind Fred. He is our ONLY hope.

“He wants to be judge, you know ...”

I have read the very same thing. He has been promised a ‘Federal Bench’ by you-know-who, if he gets this thing to pass.

What I don’t understand, is why he voted ‘no’ the first time this bill came to a vote. Heck - isn’t he one of the authors of the Shamnesty Bill?

The smooth talking, $2000 suits are damned good at fooling the starry eyed Conservatives who swallow their God, Country, Mother and apple pie rhetoric. Like the televangelists who smile and lie at once, they can charm and deceive the time stressed and overworked conservative masses. The question is becoming clear: how soon can they be replaced and by whom or what?

There is clearly very little difference between the Demoncrat party and the once honorable (somewhat) Republican party. The only segment of honor, duty and dignity left is the rank and file military. Will it take having the spineless sellout politicians leading this nation and culture to the brink of collapse and a military led rescue of the nation to save the USA?

I wonder.

Heard he has been arm twisting and threatening according to some sources and it is not working with a lot of Senators.

Maybe this has something to do with it:

How Low Can He Go?

Only 26 percent of Americans, just over one in four, approve of the job the 43rd president is doing; while, a record 65 percent disapprove, including nearly a third of Republicans.

SO . . .

Has Kyl turned out to be a RINO for sure?

A globalist in Cowboy clothing?

Sheesh.

If this is true, the judgeship thing, then he’s selling out. But in doing so he’s selling out his supporters, his national reputation, and his respect among those he should be standing with. Sen. Kyl, you should earn your judgeship with a record of quality, not buy it with your sacrificed reputation.

According to the Washington TImes:

The bill can be stopped. Following are 19 Republican senators identified by the group Numbers USA as possibly being willing to switch and vote for cloture in exchange for giving the Senate a chance to vote down one of their amendments: Lamar Alexander (Tennessee); Robert Bennett (Utah); Saxby Chambliss (Georgia); Thad Cochran (Mississippi); Norm Coleman (Minnesota); Susan Collins (Maine); Larry Craig (Idaho); Pete Domenici (New Mexico); Judd Gregg (New Hampshire); Orrin Hatch (Utah); Kay Bailey Hutchison (Texas); Johnny Isakson (Georgia); Jon Kyl (Arizona); Trent Lott (Mississippi); Mitch McConnell (Kentucky.); Lisa Murkowski (Alaska); Olympia Snowe (Maine); Ted Stevens (Alaska); and John Warner (Virginia). These lawmakers will likely decide the fate of the amnesty bill in the Senate.

The RNC screwed Graf because he was against Amnesty.

I wonder if the did the same thing to Katerine Harris for this reason.

Nah. Remember that there are all sorts of tax increases and other good stuff to vote for or against.

We don’t need legislation, we need a wall and an Attorney General who will prosecute mayors of sanctuary cities.

"I thought I saw Hugo yesterday, mowing my neighbors lawn. But when I offered him amnesty, or at least a lemonade, he ran...

Next time, offer Hugo a cold beer and offer to sponsor him for a work visa/passport attachment. He will chug the beer and still run away, because you need a passport or visa and a work sponsor to get that attachment in the first place. Tell Hugo to become a nurse and pass the NCLEX exam in English. The visa attachment comes in 3 months and the resident card in 9 months. Imagine a nurse called Hugo.
