More on the Immigration Bill


There has been considerable backlash across the country about the immigration bill.

Read about some of it here.

Apparently Senator Cornyn of Texas got into a shouting match with McCain over the bill. Read about the drama here.

Here is a transcript from Hugh Hewitt's interview with John Kyl, Senator from Arizona, a supporter of the bill.

Some Republicans are heaping lavish praise on Ted Kennedy for his role in negotiating the immigration bill. If you really want to upset the base, and jeapordize reelection, you say things about Kennedy like, "He's awesome," and "He was informed, determined, practical, and essential." With Republicans falling over themselves to praise Teddy Kennedy, it is easy to understand why many Republicans feel like they are getting a raw deal. Read it here.


On a different note, this article by Michael Medved attempts to explain why so much attention has been payed to the presidential race so early this time around.

This is what happens when Republicans try to placate the Dems by acting like Dems. I guess that I'm going sour on McCain. Guiliani is another placating Repubican. NT, is Romney the son of George Romney?
