Graham move imperils Obama agenda

This is also an about-face on immigration reform for Graham because he has been pressing the White House to move forward on comprehensive reform on that issue as well. His move comes just one day after Obama called on both parties to pass immigration reform on the federal level in response to a new law in Arizona that will allow local police to stop individuals suspected of being illegal immigrants.

Democrats privately charged Saturday that Graham was trying to scuttle immigration reform in order to protect his close friend, Sen. John McCain, R-Arizona, from having to deal with a sticky issue in advance of his tough August GOP primary battle in Arizona to keep his Senate seat. McCain has previously pushed for comprehensive immigration reform but has been recently talking about securing America's borders first, a position that puts the senator more in line with his conservative primary opponent, former Rep. J.D. Hayworth.

But Graham spokesman Kevin Bishop told CNN those allegations are "nonsense." He said Graham's letter has nothing to do with McCain and everything to do with the fact that Senate Democrats are talking about a quick three-week window to try and push through immigration reform.

"Senator Graham worked on immigration for many months in 2007 with virtually every senator and two cabinet secretaries," said Bishop. "It was an unprecedented effort and it is what it takes to put together a comprehensive plan. A serious immigration plan cannot be put together in three weeks."

Our only hope is Sarah Palin.

Totally agree. I don't think there's anyone else who can rally the troops to the good fight, and who has the courage to do what's needed, like Sarah Palin.

[LibLieSlayer]

That is what lightfoot’s GAY problem is all about... we do not care that he is a poofter... but he lies about it... feigns to be Conservative and family values... and he IS being blackmailed... or gaymailed as it were.

Well, if you know that for sure you ought to post the evidence. I just figured it’s possible he actually believes in Cap&Tax and Shamnesty.

Pelosi-Reid-Durbin-Obama make me violently sick.

McCain & Graham just give me a headache.

Could any Arizonians reply:

Will Obammy be arrested if the illegal One enters Arizona?

Was not some new law recently enacted that requires law enforcement to arrest illegals, or be subject to prosecution themselves?

Palin is backing Amnesty Juan McCain over conservative JD Hayworth.

>>> Democrats privately charged Saturday that Graham was trying to scuttle immigration reform in order to protect his close friend, Sen. John McCain,

How unsurprising to see you trumpeting the dem talking points. Business as usual.

Palin is backing Amnesty Juan McCain over conservative JD Hayworth.

A mere tactical move in order to advance Sarah forward in her quest to seize the GOP machinery from the inside!

Trust Sarah, she knows what's best. She knows McCain is probably going to die before his term is even up, the guy isn't well and is destined to pass on the way his dear friend Teddy Kennedy did.

Oh what a grievous day that shall be.

I knew the Sun would rise this morning and it did... take some things on faith... lightfoot is a poofter... all the straw that you pile on me will make no difference... and he votes 78% of the time against Conservatism.

The laws have never been enforced all the way back to 1986, so why have another “comprehensive plan” that no body will enforce either.

Amnesty??

You betcha!

Graham will be back in line once Rahm shows him copies of the pics and videos they have on him.

Senator Graham’s Gay Scandal Goes National and Viral

News of ALIPAC’s request for Senator Lindsey Graham to come out of the closet, so his constituents will be on even footing with corrupt special interests in Washington regarding his secret lifestyle, is being reported nationally and William Gheen will appear on the Thom Hartmann and Lou Dobbs radio shows today. ... Barney Frank has more integrity and bravery than Senator Lindsey Graham right now,” said William Gheen of ALIPAC. [snip]

[That would explain a lot, esp. in light of the timing. Leftist homosexuals had the goods on him?]

IOWs you don't have any evidence. I don't take rumors and innuendo on faith. If that's what you like to do then knock yourself out.

[SaraJohnson]

What a woman won’t do for his man...

If the so-called Republican people of Arizona don’t realize that McCain will stab them in the back as soon as he is elected - given his track record - we are so screwed.

[LibLieSlayer]

I have evidence... enough to satisfy me... he has never been married... only woman I ever heard of he went out with was Laura Ingraham... she said they were friends... and I know someone that worked with him when he was a JAG officer... and I was told he was a poofter. More than one person that knows lightfoot has told me this. He is probably being bribed... and that is the danger. I do not care what you think... savvy?

I could give a rat’s ass what you think. Apparently you didn’t pick that up.
