Fred Malek has been active in GOP circles for many, many years and a woman who worked with Sarah Palin in television and as an aide when she was governor worked with Malek in DC.

During the 2008 campaign there was a photo taken of Sarah during the campaign with Rick Perry and Fred Malek on the same plane with her.

I can vouch for Sarah Palin being good. The other two.....

and out of all the senate disaster to start with support of unconstitutional chain-migration as their first bill. it boggles the mind. wow they really want to accelerate the drawing of illegals from the womb.

right. they need a vehicle to get to conference. this piecemeal/unconstitutional crap was just a ruse. they want a conference so they can complete amnesty with the dems.

i seem to recall that boehner and company went along with pelosi and the dream act by showing up in the 2010 lameduck. so in retrospect, even the choice of bill isn’t a complete surprise.

One call. Great job........sort of like I suspected. /s........as for being a cheer squad, no, I’m not at all, I just don’t sit around and bitch when they haven’t done anything wrong yet presuming they will. Yep, I prefer to actually try to put pressure on; like I said, if we fail with our pressure, when they ACTUALLY do a wrong thing, I’ll be as pissed as anyone. Here’s my post of the two possibilities of what’s going on; right now I am thinking it’s the second possiblity, but if it’s the first, I’ll join you. Seeing the manner of your posts, if it’s the second you’ll probably still just bitch: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/3041685/posts?page=41#41

Paging Sarah Palin. Ms. Palin, please pick up the white courtesy phone. We have a Freedom Party to start.

Yep... I remember just a few days ago how they insisted any move on immigration would require border security uber alles.

Liars, all.

They're scared shitless is what it is. Both parties. They have been raiding the treasury coffers for decades to the point we are broke and coasting on fumes. But A-HA~! There are 30 million people in this country they can literally overnight turn into tax payers at the point of the IRS gun with amnesty. They believe it is their silver bullet (so to speak) to cover up their outrageous spending and flat out giving our money away.
The trouble in paradise is the democrats today are nowhere near the democrats of old. Their buddies across the isle have absolutely no intentions of cutting spending, in fact, with the influx of 30 million new "citizens", the spending will become worse and America's acceleration into oblivion will happen within many of our life times.

We don't need amnesty, we need to drastically cut back on all the freebies and special treatment we continue to give deadbeats and illegals. The illegal problem will take care of itself when there is nothing left to be had in this country. And imagine that, with illegals splitting south there "should" be plenty of jobs for deadbeats to do as well.

I’ve never subscribed to a ‘third party’ stategery. But I must say, the GOP has let me down and disappointed. Besides Ted Cruz and Palin, who has really stood up for Conservative Values in this country! I think the time just might be right for the FREEDOM PARTY.

The ‘race myth’ argument isn’t particularly relevant or totally true. It is the native Latin American population and ‘black Hispanics’ who underperform in school and economically and who are the target of this ‘protection’ that a perpetual underclass is beholden to the Democrats and the state.

That a few Cubans and whatnot of Spanish or other European descent are caught in the net is not a major issue for their purposes.

“You’ve got to deal with all aspects of the broken immigration system,”

What part of our immigration is broken? The fact that every foreign national has to wait a length of time to become citizens?

Or the fact that we no longer have the national will to get rid of 12 million illegals so we should just open the borders?

Amnesty passes then FUGOP.

House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) and Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.) are drafting legislation to provide a path to citizenship for immigrant children who were brought to the U.S. illegally by their parents, their offices said Thursday.

For the good of the children...

We have some of the most 'forehead palm inducing moments' elected officials in our ranks. Is there any loyalists in our government's ranks?

I sure don't see them.

I am amazed on a daily basis about how reactive republicans are, and about what they choose to focus on!!!!! All these scandals in the WH, these outrageous gas prices for the past 5 years, inflation in food prices, the disgusting high unemployment... and all we hear about every stinking day is Trayvon Martin and immigration???? Are you frikin kidding me? This party is absolutely useless. Useless! I never felt this way until the past year or 2. I won’t vote 3rd party, but we need to reset this one now!

This is another instance of the non-GOPe jumping on, yet another, ‘good idea’...ala Rubio. One ‘shining moment’ and you can hear the stampede.

- Do we REALLY need another party? No other(s) more closely aligned with ones’ ideals/thoughts re: Freedom, Liberty and the Constitution?
- What is this party platform? Do they still support SS/Medicare/etc., the War on XYZ, NSA, TSA...??
- What ‘teeth’ will they put into their platform/candidates?
- Don’t we have enough ‘figure/talking heads’?

I think a lot of people are putting their attention where it will have an immediate impact on their lives and fortunes (the Zimmerman trial). We are all George Zimmerman, we may soon find out what this country is made of when a verdict comes in. If he is found guilty, it is open season on whitey, if he is acquitted, it is open season on whitey - but in a much more immediate and visceral way. I fully expect riots and killings if he is acquitted; emboldenment beyond the likes of what we have already seen if he’s found guilty.

We should know within the next week WRT the Zimmerman trial; however, this bill will take at least a few weeks to start getting into committee - so it has a longer half-life.

That’s my nickel...
