20 Republicans Who Joined Pelosi Refuse To Condemn That She Called Republicans ..‘Un-American’
Breitbart News ^ | 19 May 2015 | Edwin Mora

All 20 Republican lawmakers who voted against an amendment that prevents illegals from enlisting in the U.S. military refused to answer questions from Breitbart News regarding the expedited citizenship most illegals would have been eligible for once they joined the armed forces.

They also each refused to answer whether they agree with House Minority Leader Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) calling their Republican colleagues who voted for the amendment “xenophobic” and “un-American.”

That means that for now, the 20 Republicans who defected and joined Democrats in opposing the amendment are allowing Pelosi’s comments to remain unchallenged.

...

There is a core group of Republicans in the House who mistakenly believe they have to cast their lot with ethnic and corporate proponents of amnesty and immigration expansion in order to get re-elected,” said CSIS’ Vaughan, referring to the 20 Republicans who voted to keep the Gallego language in the NDAA. “It seems like they will vote for any type of amnesty, even if it means replacing American soldiers with illegal aliens, to curry favor with certain voter groups. But it’s a fool’s errand.”

“They end up alienating their fellow Republicans and on top of it the advocacy groups they are trying to pander to will never support them if there is a Democrat available — and there is always a Democrat available who will out-pander on immigration issues

I’m not in AZ, so I can’t vote her out. I can send $ to a conservative opponent, should she have one.

Many FReepers tried to warn us about Mc Sally. A few defended her.

So it's your position that these reps are in districts where the majority of the voters support amnesty for illegal aliens, so they must support amnesty for illegal aliens also?

Is that what you're saying, that these reps will sell out their country to placate their constituent's warped loyalties just to get their sorry asses re-elected?

Do I really need to point out that these reps took an oath to support and defend the constitution? Nowhere in that oath are they bound to grovel at the feet of those they represent.

The oath used today has not changed since 1966 and is prescribed in Title 5, Section 3331 of the United States Code. It reads: “I, ---, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion, and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.”

The list looks like something the IRS should be looking into.
