My senator defends the Republican suicide bill

Otherwise known as "immigration reform". Or more accurately, amnesty and cheap citizenship for sale. One of my state senators, Lindsey Graham, was booed when he defended it. I'm glad to hear it. Anything which gives illegals a chance to remain here is amnesty, no matter the pricetag.

How can Graham be so right on the Iraq war, and so wrong on immigration? For that matter, how can President Bush be in exactly the same camp, right on Iraq but dead wrong on immigration? Do they simply think all of these illegals will vote Republican if we make them legal? Or do they honestly think that this is the right thing to do, as astounding as that is?

If Ted Kennedy thinks it's a good bill, it's bad. That's about all you need to know right there.

On the plus side, supporting this may sink McCain's campaign. I was astounded at his statement at the last Presidential debate that one of his qualifications for President was that he reached out to the other side. The fact that he does is precisely why I've mistrusted him for so long. Add his adamant support for this amnesty, and a good many Republican voters are going to write him off, which is probably a good thing.
