Bachmann Renews Attack on Gingrich Over Immigration
nytimes.com ^ | November 26, 2011 | staff

Representative Michele Bachmann renewed her attack on Saturday of Newt Gingrich over illegal immigration, saying once again that he favored “amnesty” for the 11 million illegal immigrants in the United States.

As evidence, Ms. Bachmann released a letter that Mr. Gingrich co-signed in 2004 supporting a proposal by President Bush for a guest-worker program that would have let undocumented workers already holding jobs apply for special status, giving them employee benefits and the ability to come and go across the border.

Mrs. Bachmann called Mr. Gingrich “the most liberal G.O.P. candidate on the issue of immigration reform’’ in a statement.

“I call for a Lincoln-Douglass style debate between Newt and Michele on the subject of immigration.”

Why not call for a Lincoln-Douglass style debate between Newt Gingrich and Philippe Calderon? Oh yes, their stands wouldn't be any different.

Newt has a long, disgusting record of working to derail illegal immigration law enforcement.

You Gingrich Cheerleaders are even more delusional than the Perry Fangirls.

What we have to do is make sure both RINOs lose and a conservatives gets nominated. I'm liking how things are going but we still must deliver the coup d'grace to the two RINO big names in the Republican contest.

Interesting that you never, ever, EVER read:
“Bachmann renews attack against Romney”
The same Mitt Romney she favored as her V.P. pick on Jimmy Fallon’s show........

He’s a liberal on the issue and she is a lying opportunist.

A Newt lover from Drumrass
Rose to the head of the Rino class
By reciting quite bright
And sleeping at night
With his tongue up the SPEAKERS A**!

“As I have said before...Reagan’s 11th commandment is junk.”

Reagan developed the “11th Commandment” after securing the 1980 GOP nomination. Check out what RR said about Gerry Ford in 1976.

Like I said, nobody running nor anybody elected is going to evict every illegal alien in this country.

Newt say’s he does not support amnesty. He just points out the impossibility of sending all illegal aliens back to where they came from.

There are ways to convince most of the illegals to go home, by making it difficult for them to get and keep jobs, housing, and education. I don’t believe that that is unfair, and I don’t think Newt is going to sue every state that tries to pass it’s own illegal immigration laws.

Nachmann just goes for the jugular. And Gingrich has been hurt very bad. By his loose tongue and his ability to defend what what most riles the base. He not down yet but if he’s down we have to make sure he stays down!

We may not be able to evict them all. But we can make sure they don’t have a reason to continue to stay here.

but then went stupid over doing her attack on Perry.

I look at it as “she took a bullet for the team”. She knew he was too liberal for our country and had to get him out of contention and THANK GOD she did that. I will always look to her as a hero for her actions!!!!

“Bachmann just goes for the jugular.”

I can respect that but that is NOT what she does. She is a proven liar and a hypocrit on the illegal alien issue

Bachmann is the only conservative candidate.

If you do not want a conservative, then vote for someone else besides Bachmann.

Glad to hear that. You know, the one thing I do know is that if people would just back her and trust her. She would work so hard for the American People. And the one thing for sure, Obamacare would be GONE.

Notice how the news never mentions Newts political past. Glad someone is doing it...He is an insider 100% Sounds good, cause he is a teacher that controls class’s everyday as a professor. Knows all the answers, but doesn’t know the questions I’d ask him...Most would start with WHY did or didn’t you.................. put in whatever you want for the question....

I agree. She has done very well in the debates. Part of her drop in support might be due to the relentless attacks on her by the media. Jay Leno and Letterman go after her night after night to a point where it is like a sick obsession with them. It's the way the used to go after Palin when it appeared she might run.

Newt said that he is for amnesty for those who have violated our laws for many years. Even Romney is to the right of Newt.
