Interesting comment by Flake---"small government," si. "Comprehensive immigration reform=amnesty," no. This is the GOP's problem. It needs to figure out if it indeed represents Americans or immigrants first. There is a necessary place for LEGAL immigrants, but Flake's not getting athe message, and having Graf and Hayworth lose doesn't help send it.

We need to make it clear we are not against LEGAL immigration. But we are against amnesty of any kind for people entering our country ILLEGALLY. Its not fair to reward people with citizenship and its benefits who flout the most basic of our laws: a nation's right to control its borders and decide who gets to live here.

And Hayworth's opponent tried to get to the right of him on immigration! But the problem is, Bush and the Dems will push amnesty almost immediately and pass it, the only thing stopping them from doing it last time was the House. There is now no way to stop this, Hayworth and Graf (and Hostettler, although his loss had nothing to do with immigration) are being used to say Americans support an amnesty. The Dems will let any of their folks who are in border districts vote against this, as they will easily pick up from Cannon/Flake/Pence all the votes they need. And once the amnesty is done, it can't be undone.

That makes the Republicans a permanent minority, and America goes the way of European socialist democracy. This was the second most important election of my life, right after 1980, and it went the wrong way. I'm not even going to think about the repercussions on Islamic terrorism.
