REP. KING ZINGS ALIEN 'AMNESTY'

I feared this would happen with dems in control.

I am afraid it is a bipartisan policy. Republican congressmen got "interested" in this issue just before the elections. What a coincidence.

Long Island in New York State.

Not having a fence along the border to stop more illegals from entering our country is even worse than amnesty.

As the article indicated, the fence hasn't been funded completely, and a new amendment by a new lib Dem Congress can nix the legislation for a fence.

[NewRomeTacitus]

No deal.

>> Congressman King is my congressman. He's not from the Five Town area. His district is from western Suffolk County to mid Nassau County on the south shore. He was head of the Homeland Security committee in Congress. Dems and Muslims are targeting him. He won reelection, but they made it harder. Nassau County is leaning Dem now with the only judges who got in had the "Working Family" party endorsement as a 2nd line. Peter King has my support. He called out the Muslims after 9/11 once he found out the leaders of the biggest Mosque in Nassau County was supporting Jihad. They've teamed with the Dems ever since to get him. <<

Peter King is a RINO jerk. He is right on a handful of issues like abortion and illegal immigration, but a stopped clock is always right twice a day. Peter King generally votes the "party line" because he has to, but will happily side with the Dems whenever his vote is not needed. For example, his record on guns and government spending is extremely poor. He adores government handouts and even votes with the NAACP about 40% of the time.

Peter King is a media whore and loves whoever is "popular" at the time. When Clinton had sky-high approval ratings, Peter King came on TV and defended Slick Willie tooth-and-nail, even gloating he would find "35 to 40" Republicans to stop impeachment (the actual number of RINOs who sided with him turned out to be four) When Bush had sky-high approval ratings, Pete King came on TV and defended HIM tooth-and-nail. Once Bush's "popularity" began to fault, King quickly reversed course and stabbed Bush in the back ("They'll be sorry they did this to New York."), attacking the Bush administration for "corruption" and promising to launch a congressional Probe into "orgies" at the CIA ( BTW, there have been NO allegations that ANYONE at the CIA ever engaged in "orgies.") if he didn't get additional pork barrel spending for NYC.

Peter King is unabashedly a long-time terrorist sympathizer... as long as the terrorists are Irish instead of Muslim. A terrorist is still a terrorist.

He is a condescending and arrogant jerk who should have been taken out in the primary over six years ago. We'd do a lot better in that district if we had a Republican who wasn't so obnoxious and shallow. Peter King has proven the only person he is loyal to is Peter King.

The RATs did takeover all the local offices in the area in 2006, but this is not indicative that the area now "leans Democrat" because the GOP their butts whupped EVERYWHERE in 2006, even in some "safe" Republican areas. Otherwise, King's district is a swing area that is marginally Republican. Dems win 2/3rds of New York State as a whole, but in King's region, Hilderbeast lost both Nassau and Suffolk to Rick Lazio. Bush essentially tied Kerry, 49%-49% in the area, and George Pataki won both Nassau and Suffolk in all three of his Governor's races, and in 2006, Jeanine Pirro won in Suffolk in her A.G. race while getting her butt kicked in the rest of the state.

If the GOP ran a decent, likeable candidate with crossover appeal, they could rid themselves of RINO scumbag Peter King and keep this district in GOP hands for the foreseeable future. An example to look at is when backstabbing RINO leach Amo Houghton was succeeded by the generally faithfully conservative Randy Kuhl in New York's 29th. Kuhl is very low key and quietly conservative. He won handily and even survived the Dem onslaught of 2006. Clearly we did not "need" backstabbing Houghton to "hold the seat for the GOP"

I've said it before, I'll say it again: Our Government is out of control, they are not performing their constitutional duty and protecting this country and its citizens.

Our constitution is as formidable and concrete as WE THE PEOPLE say it is, and our options under it are: CEASE and DESIST.

South Jersey has always considered itself separate and that idea probably stems from colonial history when New Jersey was divided for almost 30 years as two distinct colonies of the crown (1674 and 1702). Perth Amboy (Perth Town) was the capital of East Jersey and Burlington was capital of West Jersey.


South Jersey is relatively rural compared to the north. It's politics and people are different. It's views are more aligned with PA and the states south of the Bay. During the Civil War, there was a vocal group of South Jersey residents that sided with the Confederates (aka Copperheads) and there was active debate of secession during that period.

As for Long Island's idea of secession, Islanders (with the exception of the Hamptons) have always been working class conservative that have been enraged by New Yorkers taking, blocking, and hogging everything. NYC basically blocks access to the island with excessive tolls while the capital, Albany, taxes her to death for social programs given to other parts of the state. Like South Jersey, Long Island's views are more aligned with places other than the city. Long Island is still rural compared to the City and it takes a number of hours to drive the length (days if the expressway known as the L.I.E. or more lovingly termed as The LIE, is snarled with holiday traffic).

Interestingly, many parts of both South Jersey and Long Island are pine barrens. And both rely on the sea for economic livelihood.

That is a very short history and probably not 100% current because I have been away for over 20 years.

[navyguy]

Many Thanks! Makes me feel a lot better about that part of the country (especialy Long Island).

[janetgreen]

7 million illegal immigrants

That number would about cover the illegal aliens in California alone. How about the millions of them in other states? What a crock!

Not accurate. Kerry won Nassau, Suffolk, Queens and Kings (Brooklyn) Counties in 2004, and Gore won all four in 2000.

[sully777]

20 years is a long time in politics...I mean 20 years ago the GOP was poised to control everything in NJ!!!

[presidio9]

22 years ago the republican candidate won every state except Minnesota.
