National group takes aim at McConnell on immigration
The Associated Press ^ | June 27, 2007 | The Associated Press

Posted on 06/27/2007 2:57:56 PM PDT by Baladas

Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell is drawing criticism back in a television ad being run by a national group. McConnell helped revive an immigration bill this week.

NumbersUSA favors restricting immigration. The group accuses McConnell of joining liberal icon Ted Kennedy in strong-arming senators to support amnesty for millions of illegal aliens.

The group's ad says illegal immigrants have taken jobs from American workers, and says the legislation won't stop future illegal immigration. The ad started airing Tuesday in Kentucky.

The commercial asks people to contact McConnell to urge him to oppose the measure

Well, it's a national issue. I'll "accuse" him of joining liberal icon Ted Kennedy in this strong-arming as well, because exactly what McConnell is doing.

Go here to give Mitch a piece of your mind. He's tired already of hearing from me.

Mitch’s wife is in King George’s cabinet. (If I’m not mistaken.)

Don’t hold your breath.

I hope he didnt give up his part-time job. After the election next time he may need it.

I hope so anyway.

“China” Mitch McConnell thinks he'll tell us go to hell, vote for amnesty and keep his senate seat

"The following articles and brief summaries create a detailed history of China Mitch,
his wife Chao and their sordid relationships with corporate contributors and foreign governments
at the expense of America and its Citizens the people he was elected to serve but chose to betray."

Mitch and Kit Bond of Missouri are both accurately described in Matthew 26:48&49.

Senate Republican leader

After the last week he's not going to be that for much longer.

Who the Hell ever heard of a party leader voting against the majority of his own party? (wait...the name "Bush" comes to mind...but I digress).

Mr. Sessions has emerged as the clear and loud voice of the Real Republicans - which is amazing, considering he's from the oldest of the Old South.

Oh man, I wish you wouldn't have posted that link. This is the letter I just sent to him. I'm sure this is going to make him VERY angry at me. LOL Too bad, it's too late, because I've already sent it. I do hope you'll come visit me in prison. ;o)

Subject: THE SELLOUT OF AMERICA!

Dear Senator McConnell,

I cannot believe that you would join the likes of Ted Kennedy and the other traitors to America with this shamnesty legislation. It is treason. You know that don't you?

I am very disappointed in you. Even though I don't live in your state I have always liked you and respected you so much, but I feel very betrayed by you and the others who are selling out America to Mexico's criminals.

We have been invaded by another country and your answer is to give those criminals amnesty? Shame on you all.

There must be something in the water in DC that has made so many people lose their minds. You do realize that this insanity will destroy our culture and our way of life, don't you?

The voters of America understand now what we have to do. Obviously, the ones who were booted out of office last election didn't show the other RINOS that we are fed up with "business as usual."

In my life, Senator, I have NEVER seen such arrogance as I've seen coming out of DC over this shamnesty bill. It makes it look like those politicians who support it even though Americans are clearly against it, are being bought by big business!

What you guys seem to forget is that your families for generations to come will suffer right along with ours. None of them will grow up in the same America that you and I have enjoyed, and I resent that more than words can ever say.

I leave you with this thought. Those who are responsible for this injustice, will go down in history as the most hated and despised politicians in the history of America!

Shame on all of you!

by me xxxxxxxxxx

Accuse hell, he turned down the bed before he got in it with Ted. The good people of Kentucky need to retire this clown.

There’s not a prayer Mitch will lose an election in Kentucky. Mitch owns Kentucky, and there are few better conservatives than Mitch. In the end, the amnesty bill will fail, and no matter how he votes, it will very likely be Mitch’s behind-the-scenes doing.
