The California Republican party did not endorse Arizona’s SB 1070 during its semiannual convention this weekend, despite a push for a vote of support by conservative activists in the state. The party skipped over a resolution that would have stated the party’s support for SB 1070 and Proposition 187, a 1994 effort to cut public benefits to undocumented immigrants. But gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman has stated opposition to both SB 1070 and Proposition 187, and there was...

It is unacceptable, and detrimental to her cause, to invoke false parallels in the process, based on events of which she knows but very little. Mrs. Palin’s metaphor was misguided and deeply insulting to Orthodox Christians. It creates a totally false analogy between an act of brutal Islamist terror which killed three thousand...

Jan Brewer's suggestion that lawmakers consider changing parts of the state's controversial immigration law. Brewer on July 30 floated the idea of making "tweaks" to the law shortly after a federal judge blocked implementation of numerous provisions.

Whitman began the back-and-forth, publishing an op-ed piece in several Spanish-language newspapers that criticized the harsh rhetoric surrounding the debate and noting that she received flak in the Republican primary because of her opposition to Arizona’s controversial crackdown on illegal immigrants. She says she...

Bill O’Reilly grilled her on specifics to finding a solution to the problem and, in her responses, Palin made it very clear that immigration may be the one substantive issue around which she has a tight grip. Palin was adamant that illegal immigrants should not be “rewarded the bad behavior” and continued along in this vein until O’Reilly stopped her, in a very similar manner to how he stopped Univisión anchor Jorge... mediaite.com https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2550627/posts#comment Sun, 11 Jul 2010 16:32:45 GMT https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2549490/posts Translation: "No on Prop 187 and No on the Law in Arizona." https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2549490/posts#comment Fri, 9 Jul 2010 06:11:39 GMT https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2540127/posts Say what you will about her political choices, but Sarah Palin knows how to spot winners.
