BOSTON In a private meeting with White House officials this weekend, Democratic governors voiced deep anxiety about the Obama administrations suit against Arizonas new immigration law, worrying that it could cost a vulnerable Democratic Party in the fall elections.
While the weak economy dominated the official agenda at the summer meeting here of the National Governors Association, concern over immigration policy pervaded the closed-door session between Democratic governors and White House officials and simmered throughout the three-day event.
At the Democrats meeting on Saturday, some governors bemoaned the timing of the Justice Department lawsuit, according to two governors who spoke anonymously because the discussion was private.
Universally the governors are saying, Weve got to talk about jobs, Gov. Phil Bredesen of Tennessee, a Democrat, said in an interview. And all of a sudden we have immigration going on.
He added, It is such a toxic subject, such an important time for Democrats.

I might have chosen both a different tack and a different time, said Gov. Bill Ritter Jr. of Colorado, a Democrat who was facing a tough fight for re-election and pulled out of the race earlier this year. This is an issue that divides us politically, and Im hopeful that their strategy doesnt do that in a way that makes it more difficult for candidates to get elected, particularly in the West.

Immigration was not the only topic at the Saturday meeting between Democratic governors and two White House officials Patrick Gaspard, Mr. Obamas political director, and Cecilia Munoz, director of intergovernmental affairs. But several governors, including Christine Gregoire of Washington, said it was a particularly heated issue.

As my Mom used to say “if you sleep with the dogs, don’t be suprised if you wake up with fleas”.
Produce proof that any conservatives, let alone conservative FReepers(there are many trolls and left wingers posing as FReepers)sat at home during the elections. Bozo won through a combination of the MSM's lies, voter fraud and stupid voters.
And by having a GOP candidate, who agreed with Obozo on major fundamental issues, so that GOP candidate did not attack Obozo or inform the American People of the dangers of an Obozo presidency. Indeed, McCain went out of his way and said 'we have nothing to fear from President Obozo'. Yup, let's have a Big Tent and nominate 'moderates'. It works so well.
I think the chances are getting better every day that Hillary (or another Democrat) will challenge him. National Democrats will wait until after the midterms to start to disagree publicly with his agenda. Right now, they need to appear united for the midterms to slow the bloodbath.
Here here Mr. O Bummer.... get ready for AMERICAS WAR on U!
soon there will be a flood of illegal Muslim immigrants just like in europe
Europe’s flood of Muslims comes from its historical relationship with the Muslim world (Algeria once being part of France, the Muslim historical “claim” to Spain, and the massive influx of Turkish workers in Germany, and Pakistanis from former British India in the UK). Then, with the EU, moving from one country in Europe to another is practically like going between states in the USA. Fortunately, the US is further away and does not have the historical relationship nor ties with the Muslim world. Unfortunately, however, we have a porous border with no political resolve to do anything.
So yes, it could become a real problem, especially as ethnic Muslim enclaves start to form in random areas of the USA (much like how the Muslim communities in Europe initially began to form).
IMHO if the Marxists lose either the House or Senate—or if they manage to prevail by one or two seats in ne or both chambers—their agenda is dead in the water. The only way the Marxists will be able to continue to occupy the WH will be by force.
They will be desperately trying to enfranchise with the vote illegals and felons any which way they can between now and November. They also need the dead and useful idiot vote as well.
President Johnson waged war on poverty, with disputed results. President Bush waged an effective war on terrorism. The undocumented president is waging war on Arizona. He impersonates an idiot so well in obeying his NWO masters.
> No human being is illegal.
... except, of course, babies before they’re born, as they’re being born, and shortly after they’re born, as well as people who are on life support, especially if they are old.
Laughable for the death-loving, murderous, bloody commies, progressives, and demoncRATs to promote this particular emotional appeal.
God bless Jan Brewer, and the brave, stalwart people of Arizona!!!!
We all need many other states to join the fight by passing tough anti-illegal immigration laws this year, and get Holder/obama in a war that they can't win!!!!
Fox is running a poll about whether the flag should be banned in schools in order not to inflame Hispanic students. The poll is being sandbagged by SEIU and we should mount a counter action if you agree with me that the flag should be taken down for no one.
Just in case you haven’t heard yet Fox News has a Poll-Should the Flag Be Banned at Schools?
Moveon.org, Organizing for America , and SEIU have been twittering today to go to Fox Poll and vote to ban the Flag .... and right now it is working.
SHOW THEM WHAT TRUE PATRIOTS BELIEVE!!! Let’s flip those numbers and show those who would ban the flag that we are organized and on the move....flip the numbers now-FLIP THE HOUSE in November!
