This is also an about-face on immigration reform for Graham because he has been pressing the White House to move forward on comprehensive reform on that issue as well. His move comes just one day after Obama called on both parties to pass immigration reform on the federal level in response to a new law in Arizona that will allow local police to stop individuals suspected of being illegal immigrants.
Democrats privately charged Saturday that Graham was trying to scuttle immigration reform in order to protect his close friend, Sen. John McCain, R-Arizona, from having to deal with a sticky issue in advance of his tough August GOP primary battle in Arizona to keep his Senate seat. McCain has previously pushed for comprehensive immigration reform but has been recently talking about securing America's borders first, a position that puts the senator more in line with his conservative primary opponent, former Rep. J.D. Hayworth.
But Graham spokesman Kevin Bishop told CNN those allegations are "nonsense." He said Graham's letter has nothing to do with McCain and everything to do with the fact that Senate Democrats are talking about a quick three-week window to try and push through immigration reform.
"Senator Graham worked on immigration for many months in 2007 with virtually every senator and two cabinet secretaries," said Bishop. "It was an unprecedented effort and it is what it takes to put together a comprehensive plan. A serious immigration plan cannot be put together in three weeks."

Uber RINO Lindsey Ping
"Republican by day, Democrat by night."
Want on or off this ping list?
Just FReepmail me.
Does it feel better having been outed?
Don’t forget to ping the list. :)
Amnesty John McCain and Graham-nesty sicken me.
It has everything to do with McInsane.
Once old dbag Johnny is re elected expect them both to jump on cap & tax, amnesty and anything else Obama wants.
Sure it can.
Secure the border
Enforce all immigration laws
Deport all illegals
I think the GOP may have plans to sink Graham-nesty if he pushes for amnesty. They may have ALIPAC (protect the borders) group do the deed.
If amnesty gets passed it is over and the GOP should know that.
How do you think the voters gonna get along without you when you're gone?
You took them for everything that they had and kicked them out on their own
Are you happy? Are you satisfied?
How long can you stand the heat?
Out of the door way the voters rip to the sound of the beat (Look out)
Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
And another one gone
And another one gone
Another one bites the dust
Hey, the voters gonna get you too
Another one bites the dust
Thanks for the link, much appreciated.
As for Lindsey, well we all kinda knew. It’s like Oprah kicking her beard Steadman out and having Gail move in. We all kinda knew already. But... if it’s true that is why he’s such a RINO and it will get him kicked out, all the better.
McCain is Obama’s little stooge. They both work for Soros.
It’s a good thing that Arizona has a late primary. That keeps McCain having to pretend to be conservative for most of the year.
Did you watch the video? I don’t know if he’s right about Grahmnesty but I agreed with everything else he said.
“Senator Graham worked on immigration for many months in 2007 with virtually every senator and two cabinet secretaries,”
“It was an unprecedented effort and it is what it takes to put together a comprehensive plan. A serious immigration plan cannot be put together in three weeks.”

Ummm. Is it me, or do these two thoughts in the same paragraph say exactly opposite things?
I agree with William Gheen’s view about it. I don’t care at all if Linseed is gay but if he’s being blackmailed because he is and wants to stay in the closet that’s a big problem.
Yep, at this late date near election with unemployment at 10% yet, and free health care for even more, no Republicans will dare go along with democrat amnesty meaning some democrats will jump ship too on this.
Hell, if republicans were smart, they would be running ads in black areas of the country “Democrats want illegals to take your jobs” given blacks have 20-30% unemployment so NO blacks turn out in November. Listening Steele ?
Are you kidding? Steele might as well be in the bag for 0bama, after all, Comrade Zero is “one of the bruddas” and they both like to play that ‘racist’ card.
Our only hope is Sarah Palin.
When Hannity hired him for the RNC, he forgot to tell him his job was to call democrats racists. We don't need him to call us racists, we got MSNBC, NYT and Black congressional caucus to do that without him.
