Rep. Kinzinger criticizes talk radio's portrayal of immigration reform
WLS Radio ^

Posted on 02/18/2014 10:56:58 AM PST by Windy City Conservative

“All ya have to do is listen to some of the radio talk shows that you guys know so well where it just stirs up the base-not even the base, it stirs up part of the base,” Kinzinger said. “And they do that because they make money. They sell radio ads. Right? All ya have to do is turn on some of them and hear them talk about all this terrible stuff about America. I mean they have it on both side of the aisle. I’m not just attacking my own party here.”

Illinois' so-called Tea Party guy from 2010. A Boehner lacky since the day he got to D.C.

Talk radio doesn't jack up the base, dummy. It reflects it.

When will these clowns understand that?

The same thing happened with Susan Brooks in Indiana.

Cases like this in both IN and IL (people claiming to be conservative TEA
Party types) are exactly why we don’t need t jump on the first candidate to criticize serving members of congress, not that they don’t deserve criticism but we’re merely changing the devils we know for the devils we don’t know, which demoralizes the base!!!

We oppose illegal immigration well, because it’s illegal and no part of that process is desirable for America.

Have you ever seen such dummies that have something everyone wants (America) and think they have no right to control who gets it.

What does it matter if every illegal alien had to get out of here? Even if we decided to replace every one of them with new immigrants from Mexico, it would not be the same group.

I so hate seeing my country being handled by people with zero comprehension of the value of what we have here.

As if we need some jerk on the radio to tell us that Amnesty will finish off the country and that we should be angry about it. We aren't robots or children, CONgressman.

I aqm, and have been a NATIVIST, before I graduated from high school.

There was no talk radio, then. The Mexican problem was only a California issue, then. There were no majority of bleeding heart idiots, fed by the news media of what they thought that
‘everybody’ should or should not do. It was America, and if you weren’t, get out, and get out today, or we would put you out, with the promise we would stop you permanently, if you were stupid enough to attempt to come back.

I still hold that.

I was born in California, and returned to to live in it as an adult in the military, before the Reagan years. First thing I noticed was ... too darn many Mexicans.

Yeah, and he decided to move into Don Manzullo's district. Manzullo wasn't perfect, but he was the MOST CONSERVATIVE rep in Illinois. Not Tea Party by temperament, but a reliable vote. Gone.

So he is trying to stir up who, exactly? Part of the base perhaps, or just the republican lite group. I will trust someone on the radio trying to make a buck over someone in congress trying to control me any day.

I don’t need talk radio to tell me anything about immigration “reform”. All it’s about is the creation of a new democratic voting block, nothing more, nothing less AND republicans are to freaking stupid to see it.

Correct, all the low information GOP voters who supported Kinzinger kept saying Manzullo’s time had come and gone and that “Adam was the future”. Some GOP voters are robots; Kinziger supporters are exhibit A. They think they’re going to get wisdom from a 35 year old. Please, has the guy had an original thought since he got elected?

Kinzinger is a useful idiot progressive. He’s trying to marginalize conservatives and our message. A Dem would never get away with the constant base dumping crap that comes out of his pie hole. OTOH, Boehner & McConell give stooges like this and Peter King free reign.

She’s my Congresscritter and I’m really disappointed in her.

She’s basically refused to take any stance on the thousands of Industrial Wind Turbines that Big Blow and the Greenies want to cover a large chunk of her district with.

“Head’s up on this TEA Party poser...”

When I see a short blurb about what someone said with little or no context or other information I get very suspicious that it is a hit job. I need more info before I am willing to bash this guy.

This isn’t a one time deal. Kinzinger has been all over the MSM bashing conservatives for months.
