Lindsey Graham working with Chuck Schumer on amnesty; rounding up other Republicans

Posted Sun, Aug 9, 2009 at 5:10 am

From this:

Senate Democrats have found a Republican in Sen. Lindsey Graham to help them push for passage of a comprehensive immigration overhaul this year.

But the lag in getting prominent support from a Republican -- more than two months after Democrats first announced their push -- shows how complicated prospects for passage could be this year, as immigration remains a wedge inside an increasingly divided GOP.

Democrats and Republicans say Mr. Graham of South Carolina is working behind the scenes with Sen. Charles Schumer (D., N.Y.) to gain support from other GOP members. Mr. Schumer is quarterbacking this year's campaign for an overhaul.

One complicating factor this time around is the recent ascendancy of the libertarian/strong fiscal conservative wing of the rightwing, exemplified by the tea parties and groups like FreedomWorks. Some of those in that wing will no doubt end up supporting amnesty; that might cause a schism, or those who are basically paid off by corrupt businesses may end up getting their way. It's also worth noting that the leaders of the supposed opposition to Obama are incredibly incompetent. All of that makes fighting against amnesty more difficult than it was before.

I agree. I can imagine him with young boys. That treasonous son of a bitch was re-elected. His constituency should be ashamed of themselves, fucking rednecks.

No way in hell they will pass this. If they think the mob is angry now just try to pass Amnesty. That's when the real trouble will start. Obama knows it-that's why he said it will have to wait til next year. By then the voices calling for his expulsion will rise higher than they ever did for Jorge Bush.....Americans are so mad they don't care what happens. Tie for a full scale revolution!

Mary the political pigs want Americans to stand up and fight back that is why this evil monkey obama will get this evil amnesty into law. If the people start to act like Americans the shit loving government will order mass eliminate on its so called people. Its all about foreign political control of us.listen to Savage Nation and CBS story about mass camps now built and already open for business the only thing missing is the swastika flying over the camps.
