Conservative Group To Launch Ad Supporting Senate Immigration Bill

By Lisa Mascaro July 7, 2013 WASHINGTON -- As an overhaul of immigration laws shifts to the House, a right-leaning group is launching a new television ad campaign Monday that will call on House lawmakers -- and, implicitly, resistant Republicans -- to support the Senate-passed “border surge” as part of “conservative immigration reform."
The ad seeks to influence rank-and-file lawmakers as House Speaker John A. Boehner (R-Ohio) convenes Republicans behind closed doors to assess how the GOP majority will respond to the bipartisan Senate bill.
Many House Republicans oppose the legislation because it includes a 13-year citizenship path for immigrants here without legal status. But influential party leaders think other rank-and-file lawmakers may be interested in a compromise that could help the party’s outreach to the growing Latino electorate.

I wonder if they have "SUCKER" tattooed on their foreheads.
Ever notice how’s there’s more and more “conservative” groups calling themselves conservative?
infiltration
Conservatives United Against Conservatism funded and run by leftists
Claiming to be conservative doesn’t make it so. Conservatives don’t need to lie or pretend.
You can stand with a copy of Mao's Little Red Book over your heart and lean in any effing direction you want, but that doesn't make you a Conservative.
Restrict welfare benefits and SS to American Citizens and legal immigrants who have paid taxes here.
Secure the border.
Deport the illegals, starting with the criminals.
Then we can talk about a 'path to citizenship'--but if you are caught here illegally, you are out of here, no green card, no freebies, and never to be a citizen.
If that SOB is for it, I'm agin' it.
Norm Coleman? There’s a blast from the past...
Jim Barksdale

Maybe I’ll start a “liberal” group to trick the liberals. :)
Except we conservatives are too honest to be such phonies.
LA Times people,.......need say more?
Why aren’t the Unions opposing it?
very true pic. keep posting it,everywhere
So, ‘right leaning’ is any group that isn’t openly Communist?
they use our principles against us. They have none.

No Conservative would do such a thing... a soros backed republicrat would however.

So then in other words it’s NOT Conservative by any means. As I’ve been posting since I joined FR in Jan. of 2004 “THEY” are redefining Conservatism. By calling themselves “Conservatives”, their politics as “Conservative” “THEY” are redefining what Conservatism is to suit their agenda. “THEY” are actually todays “Republicans”, the GOPe, who are nothing less than sychophants of the Democrat rule. Stealth Democrats if you will. That IS my personal opinion.
