Shilling for Schwarzenegger: Hugh Hewitt strikes again

It is you who lies on illegal immigration. He has clearly stated that he is not for "amnesty" would not deport anyone, and wants to seek a way to "legalize" the illegals already here. Try reading what he actually says. He also stated that he would do nothing to enforce prop 187, or try to enact similar laws.

If you are going to argue, at least know your facts.

[MattGarrett]

Well considering that this Ahnoid hasn't and doesn't levy insults, I'm not really sure what you're point is there.

But meanwhile, enjoy your kamakaze mission. BustaMECHA will be in your debt for it.

[Sabertooth]

I am the only candidate at this table who has signed a no-tax pledge. I am the only candidate at this table who supports Proposition 54 to stop the government from racially classifying every one of us. I'm the only candidate at this table that supports the California Republican Assembly's referendum to stop the bill that gives driver's licenses to illegal immigrants. I'm the only candidate at this table who's pro life. I'm the only candidate who supports the entire Bill of Rights, including our Second Amendment. And I'm the only candidate who for 20 years in the public arena has proposed and fought for precisely those fiscal forms that are desperately needed to straighten out this state's finances. Now, we over the years have always been disappointed by politicians who make a promise and don't carry through on it. We've seen a lot of campaign promises made and broken just in the span of this very brief campaign. There's one thing friend and foe alike agrees about Tom McClintock, and that is when I make a promise, I keep it. I steer a straight course and I stay that course no matter what the pressure. And here's my commitment to the people of California: I will cut spending and balance this budget without a tax increase, and that is a promise.

It may be that I am confusing Sabertooth with another of the McClintock faithful. Sometimes I lose track of who's who in this debate.

So for that, I offer my apologies.

As for HH's support of Ahnold, HH is a realist. He's also a STUDENT OF THE ART OF POLITICS. He does it for a living.

Most of us don't.

As I posted on another thread, Tom's execution last night was extraordinary.

But it was not enough.

I couldn't help but notice how you DE-EMPHASIZED this:

"...and get them on a path toward legal residency status in the United States."

How convenient for you.

This is the same WND columnist that attacked Joe McCarthy, comparing him to Patrick Leahy.

I've never read a Hewitt article since.

I'll let it remain a mystery to you then. It doesn't pay to belabor the obvious.
