Lindsey Grahamnesty rides again
What a busy little “bipartisan” bee Lindsey Grahamnesty has been lately.
He’s holding hands with John Kerry to push carbon caps and unrepentant global warming cultism.
He’s collaborating with the White House to close down Gitmo.
And he’s schmoozing with Chuckie Schumer on another illegal alien amnesty campaign — an effort that has been in the works for months.
Yesterday, I asked if the GOP had the balls to take on the Left and the permanent Nanny State.
Brains and souls are AWOL, too.

Mostly their souls. Their brains are at work on what they will personally gain with no consideration of what’s best for the nation.
Keep dredging up an issue which is just as toxic as Obamacare. Yeah, that’s the ticket for a resurgance of GOP dominance. NOT!
BUT – amnesty will keep coming back until Grahamnasty and cohorts get what they want or they are removed from office.
We need to get Mrs. Sanford to run against Lindsey. At least she has backbone and brains.
Where do they find idiots like Lindsey?
It’s remarkable to me that this spineless twit is from South Carolina. This guy needs to go. He’s poison to the G.O.P.
As Michelle has said before, sunlight is the best disinfectant. Put it out there that he’s going against every single conservative Republican value we hold dear and he’ll be run outta town on a rail along with the rest of the Dems he’s schmoozing.
But remember, everyone, he deserves tolerance, particularly since he’s a Republican and he’s supporting liberal values.
Teach tolerance! Now let’s all hold hands and sing kum-by-yah!
Goober Grahamnesty must go!!
What is it with the South Carolina voters? They give us the very best and the very worst of all of the Republican Senators.
Lindsey Grahamnesty, go join you’re buddy Benedict Arlen in the democrat party. That’s where your heart is anyway.
No means no!
Quit wasting taxpayer time and money.
You forgot one thing Michelle. It was his vote that gave us that “Wise Latina” as a Supreme Court Justice.
Graham got re-elected in 2008 so he feels no restrictions on doing anything he wants to do.
He is off the reservation and running amok.
This is the future for McCain if he gets re-elected. Pray for JD Hayworth.
um, I told you so?
Yes, pray, and send him money, too. In taking on McCain Hayworth is challenging a monster money machine.
He was just re-elected and doesn’t care. I wonder if there will ever be a day that I’ll get credit for my amazing predictions.
The only reason I say they are ‘amazing’ is that they amaze me how often I’m right. I expect everyone else to belittle my info.
I certainly know that any thought I have will be derided. . . only time tells me if I’m right. It’s happened enough for me to stop worrying when people disagree with me and tell me I’m wrong. I just have to wait time to be vindicated.
But it has also happened enough for me to wonder why I bother. Hopefully one of these days I’ll get some credit or at least get to the point where people listen to what I say as though it has value.
I know that I know a lot more than a lot of the TEE VEE people who are treated as though their word is Gospel.
meh, who cares. . . as soon as I get enough money and the interest rates go up, I’m John Galt kissin everyone buh bye and let everyone else deal with the BS while I live out my life on permanent vacation in the islands or on a boat.
That’s just ridiculous.
I am sick of fighting my own government.
Oh well, back into the fray…
It sort of makes me glad we’re not having to fight McCain/Grahamnesty EVERY day on stuff like this. It’s hard enough fighting democrat socialist loons, much less democrat-lite loons in our own party.
Thank you South Carolina for putting this squish back in office last year.
Roland, ROFL
Brown won….we can do the same with this RHINO illegal alien lovin mclame!! I’ve sent emails to both Palin and Brown expressing extreme anger at their support of mclame. Arizona has been passing and putting forth a bunch of anti-illegal bills, the people of Arizona are fed up with illegals and the crime and tax burden they bring. Donate to Hayworth if for no other reason but to send one about illegal immigration and tossing out yet another RHINO.
Lindsay Graham, that puffball, will singlehandedly sink the GOP changes for a rebound in November. I can’t stand that man and never could. He’s a mealy-mouthed poseur who makes me sick to my stomach.
So Graham is not running this year. I guess that was obvious since neither Palin nor Brown has announced they will campaign for him. Oh well. Plenty of other RINOs out there to support.
/bitterness off
Find any recent stories about crime by illegals and get them sent out to your address book. This is nothing more than govn’t sponsored terrorism against it’s own citizens. Amnesty will make it worse because we’ll have another 15-20 million in much last time than it took the last bunch to skip the steps of entering legally. Illegals from around the globe are getting better at it, and there is much less resistance by our govn’t.
I dont guess he is paying attention to what is happening to Charlie man hug Crist here in florida. His day will come.
A nice way for a struggling crafts business to perk publicity and sales is to create and send to qualified (and hopefully humbled) candidates a “Golden RINO” award…
Either close the border, or open the border. Quit playing “political games” and trying to con the American citizen. The border is like a house with the front door, triple-locked, with a kitchen window wide open. I certainly would hate to be a Border Patrolman; hated even by the present government.
It is going to be almost impossible to Stop this Travesty… The Illegals are the Liberals NEW Voting Block, most likely thier NEW SEIU Members, and with those two things in the cooker you can Bet it will be passed at 3 am on a Saturday morning.
Obama and Grahamnesty is what happens when idiots vote. There’s a test to get a driver’s license. Why not have a test before one can vote? Just naming the three branches of government would eliminate all of Obama and Grahamnesty’s voters.
talk about polar opposites from the same state…Grahmnasty on one end and De Mint on the other.
Carbon caps will be the final nail in the coffin of this economy, which may not do much for millions of Americans just scraping by, but will make China and India really happy.
Amnesty will be the precursor to a one party State, the Dem party, as all the hands-out “gimme gimme gimme” immigrant class (and their extremely large families) will vote for the beneficent Robin Hood liberals. Also this will eventually lead to America becoming a welfare State in the model of so many dying European Countries, or something closer to home, Kalifornia.
We keep hearing about GITMO prisoners being so rehabilitated that, after their release, they couldn’t wait to fall of the wagon and take up arms against American soldiers, hoping to score in paradise with 72 Burka clad virgins.
So if somebody could please explain to me why any human being with more than 100 brain cells thinks any of these things are good for THIS Country, I’m willing to listen.
Lindsey needs to retire immediately.
Hey, I voted against him in the primary, but alas, I am only one lone voter. Maybe next time my fellow SC voters will vote him out, but probably not.
Why is it that the following parallel comes to mind:
– It’s frustrating to try to convince women that all men aren’t monsters when a serial rapist keeps getting in the news, just like it’s frustrating to try to keep attention focused on the evil that the donks are when a fool like Graham keeps popping up.
Very frustrating.
Amazing these idiots are pushing amnesty after 2 defeats over the past 4 years. There is one sure fire way to bring this country down quickly. Give amnesty to 20M-30M illegal invading lawbreakers (at least that many) who will then begin gorging themselves at the government trough (all but a few are way below poverty line), followed by an influx of family reunification immigrants. And remember after the 1986 amnesty it was something like 3 reunification immigrants for each given amnesty. And voila, you have added 100M+ people to the government teat. This is not hard to see the eventual state of this nation but these idiots, like grahamnesty, push forward with it anyway.
We need ATTRITION THROUGH ENFORCEMENT and DRY UP THE MAGNETS to end this plague. Toughen laws and take away the freebies (no welfare, no anchor babies, etc). I don’t give a rats *ss if they have 3 anchor babies either. Deport the whole lot of them and strip the citizenship form the anchor babies. I am sick of being taken advantage of by these invaders with the complicity of my government and my tax dollars.
It’s time for a similar gang, he said. So far, he’s had no takers.
Is he really that stupid?
I just did. Photoshop HERE
send that to Michelle jrgdds…nice job!!!
you need to do a “runner-up” for mclame…
Either that, or he’s trying to play the “See, I don’t just attack my own party” card in an attempt to counter Hayworth. Personally, I could believe it either way.
As for Grahamnesty? We can’t get rid of him until 2014, but we could always hang him around the neck of every RINO running in a primary. Something along the lines of “How would you like my opponent forming gangs of fail with Lindsey Graham” sort of thing. It’s not a lie if past RINO behavior is any indication.
Graham may as well be useful for something.
This azzhole is now on my fax blast.
Time for McLame and Grahamnesty to ride off together into the sunset. The hatred for this slimeball traitor is not only increased but orgnized as tea partys gain momentum. He may have been recently re-elected but he can be surrounded by politicans with more brains and loyalty to their country than he has. There must be scandal on this contemptible creature….hope someone digs some up to end his career.
What is really weird about these two idiots is that both of them could be real conservatives and win election after election. But by default they want to be RINO’s.
Got to be a mental illness.

And when we get another 20 million ILLEGAL ALIENS (not “undocumented immigrants!”) replacing the 20 million that get shamnesty–what then?

No jobs for your kids–very few jobs for legal residents–lots more drug dealers and Jihadis–illegal aliens have already proven that they will not respect our laws.

Welcome to Zimbabwe legal White Guy dimmitude–coming soon–brought to us majority Americans by Comrade Obama (PBUH) and his congressional minions.

Just stealing the jobs Americans used to have. I bet that is a really good plan for the 25 million unemployed.
Obama want shamnesty now so he can be a legal U.S. citizen, (but not a, “natural born”, citizen), by the 2012 election.
Somebody needs to find something on Grahamnesty that forces him out. The voters of SC had their chance last election and blew it.
McCain’s time is up, August 24. AZ voters better not be as stupid as SC voters.
Graham Cracker is a fart in the Washington wind. A brief malodorous moment, then a mere carbon emission off to melt the glaciers.
Who really listens to this idiot RINO?
Why does he keep getting reelected who is donating money to his campaign…THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE – they like cheap illegal labor but I don’t think they like carbon caps….Lindsey might have stepped int it.
Would it were that Grahamnesty had to live a life where his neighborhoods and town were wrecked with rampant illegal populations. Arrogance and ignorance, a devastatingly bad combination.
This is a strong argument in favor of voting out all incumbents as a strategy for 2010. For years, the rallying call was to make them hear us. Well they hear us but the very same corruptocrats who were determined to cram shamnesty down our throats in 2006 and again in 2007 are determined to cram EVERYTHING down our throats before the next election.
Will we have to burn down the capital to stop these arrogant weasels? If they are determined to impose dictatorship on us even if it means rescinding the Constitution, we may have no other choice. It is OUR Constitution, not theirs.
*Nothing says “Tea Time” like bringing up the subject of Grahamnesty and McCain as the advocacy pimps for illegal alien amnesty; They don’t have a “D” next to their names, but I have already lumped them in with the “Death to America” Party, the Democrat Party, for surely nothing will bring our beloved country to an end quicker than amnesty and continued open borders!
*I have already sent some coin to JD and will continue to do so, as much as I can spare until judgement day!
*Nothing makes me more sick than knowing that the powers that be willfully send jobs overseas while importing people we don’t need, both legal and illegal, while MILLIONS of Americans are desperately looking for work; It is beyond criminal!
Well Obama has Hillary permanently penned into that first Supreme Court vacancy soon to occur on his line up card…
but there are sure to be two spots opening up.
Surely a president wouldn’t shop judgeship’s for votes …
Wouldn’t that be a “dream team” of washed up Senators(Justice’s Clinton and Graham) to put on the courts to really mangle the Constitution even more!
You are so right there. The majority of people I have talked to who are so proud they voted for Obama cannot name their senators, the branches of government, don’t know who the speaker of the house is, they are just ignorant. If they took 1/10th of the time that they spend concentrating on American Idol, they would be so much more informed. I can’t even really call them liberals, they don’t know anything. I respect the people who consider themselves liberal and are informed. I don’t agree, but at least they have knowledge of what they are doing.

OK. McCain’ Golden RINO Award-Photoshop Here
Apropos of spineless RINOs, Rep. Thaddeus McCotter (R-MI) has been getting face-time on FOX NEWS, having already become a semi-frequent guest on RedEye. During his most recent appearance, he was asked his opinion regarding Sen. Bunning’s efforts to force the Senate to designate the source of funds to pay for the “temporary” extension of unemployment benefits. To his credit, Thad is possessed of a wonderfully quick rapier wit and is fluently and eloquently articulate as, say, Michelle, herself. However, in this case he was caught in a situation from which he could not glibly free himself. He was remitted to the disingenuous, not to say, lame, protest that Sen. Bunning had chosen the wrong issue on which to make his point. He argued that it would be unfair to deny Americans the benefits they had come to rely upon in this time of need. Which missed the point. My understanding is that the Senate could have utilized money from the stimulus (slush) appropriation to pay the cost of the legislation. If I am incorrect in this assumption, the very least the body could have done was to say, “We understand we passed PAYGO, but we just don’t have any more money. Nevertheless, we understand the need here and, therefore, we are going to put it on the deficit tab. In any case, gutless. Thad knows this. He was clearly abashed by his performance, especially when TV’s Andy Levy dismissed his effort with a snarky “fine”.
Maybe not so much. Remember, McCotter’s district in Michigan is dealing with unemployment upwards of 20%. While I am opposed to most entitlement programs, especially in a sound economic climate, the country is in crisis, and Michigan more than most states. Sometimes the line between principle and practice is not so clear. I give McCotter a pass here. Bunning may have planted his flag on the wrong mountain.

Love it!
That is exactly the kind of thinking that makes the GOP so lame. It is ALWAYS the wrong time to cause a stink. Had the Republicans stood up and MESSAGED correctly, that the new “Pay-go” is a fraud, Bunning would not have been the issue.
Doesn’t it seem to you that the ones who step up courageously get labeled as “nuts”? How many people here won’t even discuss the very solid logic and unassailable conservative arguments Ron Paul presents concerning deficits and banking because he is a “nut”? Or that his followers are “nutty”?
If we are going to demand that Republican lawmakers do everything possible to fight for every inch at every opportunity in preventing the imposition of a centrally-planned tyranny in America, let’s not be hypocrites ourselves by criticizing them when they do just that.
Bunning’s ploy may have failed in getting the correct message out, but it was spectacularly successful in underscoring exactly how weak and phony the GOP truly is.
Here we go again BOYS and GIRLS… Let’s get ready to saddle up!!!
Saddle up for a ten-million man march on Washington ASAP! This time, let’s be LOUD!
Facts about Amnesty
FACT: There have been not 1, but a total of 7 amnesties of varying types, since and including the largest and best known one of 1986.
FACT: Prior to the implementation of the 1986 amnesty, the GAO did an estimate to predict the number of persons expected to apply for/receive amnesty. After the law was passed, they retroactively found that the actual number of persons that had applied for amnesty was approximately 3-4 times the originally expected number. Fraud and abuse were pervasive.
FACT: No amnesty ever stopped or slowed the flow of illegal aliens into the US.
FACT: Although an initial supporter of the 1986 amnesty and having signed the 1986 law, Ronald Reagan later admitted that the policy was a failure.
FACT: The USCIS is already beyond their organizational processing capacity. Adding a flood of additional applications into their workload would all but guarantee a massive uptick in errors and the admittance of persons that are otherwise not eligible and have no rightful place in the US. If fraud and abuse were bad with 1-3.5 million applications, what do you think it would be like with 12 million applications?
FACT: An illegal alien amnesty is a concept that REQUIRES a class of criminals step forward and offer ‘honest’ applications to receive the benefit of law that no other American can receive.
FACT: Amnesty was bad policy then and would be even worse policy now. Reject amnesty at all costs… “early and often”.
I respectfully disagree. IMHO, he did get the correct message out re stopping the insane spending and adhering to the pay-go principle they had just supposedly adopted.
Again, I was responding to McCotter’s position coming from a state where unemployment rivals that of the great depression. McCotter is nothing if not a small government fiscal conservative, but in crisis times, principle and practice are not as easily resolved.
Regarding the weak, lame and impotent GOP/RINO problem, you’ll get no argument here.
It is up to McCotter to explain to his constituents why Bunning’s actions were not standing in the way of their benefits but a Congress that holds those benefits hostage for refusing to FUND them.
That is the “balls” part that is missing from the GOP and not just at the leadership level. Few of these guys were willing to sign the “no earmarks” pledge last year, for instance.
We keep attacking RINOs like McCain and Grahamnesty but then defend the smaller guys who show no spine while attacking the “nuts” who are taking the lead. Is everyone a conscientious objector in the GOP? Are we only interested in “measured and proportionate responses”? Do we want to win or don’t we?
We are in deep trouble no matter what is done. There is nothing truthful to be said to the American people other than any solution will be difficult. The difference is that one solution will preserve our freedoms. We stand to lose them THIS YEAR.
We don’t have time for partly-pregnant, sometimes honest McCotter-like politicians with their “normally I’m with you but it’s different in this case”. That is classic weasel talk. If he can’t do the right thing, he deserves to lose in November and I hope he and his ilk do.
We don’t have any politicians in this country who are really small central gubmint pols. they all spend opm to buy reelection, and up goes the debt our grandchildren will have to pay off. the children can’t find jobs, because the soak the rich socialists forget that the rich can leave. the poor are stuck!
Ron Paul was not marginalized by his thinking on banking and deficits, and McCotter would be an idiot to ignore the unemployment rate in Michigan.
The “rich” aren’t the threat, as the socialists would have us believe. They don’t have the power that the politicians have. That’s the real threat…politicians! The “rich” aren’t the mansion/limo people either. They are really you and me. I can’t “hide” my money/property in tax shelters. I’m exposed to all the taxes/fees the politicians throw at me. It’s all a lie and a scam.
As a conservative and a Vietnam Vet I have a real problem with being on the same planet as John Kerry.
How anyone with one ounce of self respect can find common cause with that loathsome piece of gutter garbage is way beyond me.
I guess Graham is just trying to out McCain McCain as the chief “bender overer and grab your ankles” as he “meets” with such as Kerry in bipartisan Ecstasy.

You completely ignored my point. Small-minded politicians should stick to being small town mayors and village selectmen. We need big-minded politicians who have the courage to address the big problems.
If you expect Congress to address the big problems when people like you excuse your politician for being a parochial weanie. Re-read what I said. Your response doesn’t address my point.
Phil, again we all agree here on the conservative principles that need to be restored and put into practice. Unfortunately, this is not an ideal world. In McCotter’s case, I find his conservative principles dead on target. But while working toward these principles, there are certain human realities that can not be ignored. As chair of the Republican Policy Commettee, his five tenets that should be the foundation of the GOP are
To which I respond, outstanding!
If the conservative Senate Republicans from relatively safe states had rallied around Senator Bunning, and McCotter ducked for cover instead arguing the Senators were doing the right thing, then your argument might have merit.
As it actually stands, your argument is nonsensical when applied to McCotter on this matter.
This is not a complicated one, Phil, unless you want individual Republicans to fight stupid.
If you mean to be arguing the GOP generally needs more balls when taking on the liberty destroying scum currently in control of Washington, you will get absolutely no argument from me on that, but all balls and no brains won’t accomplish anything either.
I am reasonably sure you and I can find common ground on at least one thing, Phil: Republicans in vulnerable states/districts should not be in leadership positions in the GOP party apparatus.
Amnesty now is Obama attempting to split the GOP from conservatives. He may also be attempting to split it from Hispanics, but I suspect he’s trying more to get them to annoy their own voters now than a possible new constituency over the long term. It would help mitigate the Democrats’ losses in 2010.
I have no love lost for most Republicans, but the answer here is to take it out on the RINOs in 2010, and not the party at large. Smaller gains with reliable people are a better third option than nuking the whole party for the failure of a few. Then we keep up with the direct donations of money and manpower to candidates we like, and those that make the decisions to back people like Graham will continue to have less and less say about it.
In the meantime, we can always start asking questions about RINOs in primaries like “How do we know you won’t form Gangs of Fail with Graham?”, “How do we know you’re not another Graham?” and “How do we know you won’t betray us like Graham?” If nothing else, their squirming should be entertaining.
McCain in particular might benefit from a few of these sorts of moments.
Another amnesty will result in Democrat majorities for decades, or until they are supplanted by the La Raza Party, why doesn’t the RNC know that? How stupid do you have to be to import voters for the opposition at the same time you alienate your own voters?
Nominating amnesty supporters is a losing proposition, we will not support them. If the GOP intends to surrender our sovereignty and abandon the rule of law, they will find in November 2010, that they still have their big money/cheap labor donors, but they do not have voters.
GOP-RIP
Here’s a reminder of what we are dealing with and how amnesty is not the solution:
http://immigrationandmore.blogspot.com/2009/08/martin-memorial-medical-center-case.html
I know a lot of folks here don’t much care for AP at Hot Air, but IMO this hits the nail on the head. You know what America needs now? A brutal political battle over amnesty.
Don’t really care what you may think, I still like AP’s take on this stuff.
Once again, you take the insipid argument that my point is nonsensical without addressing it. You are what we call a dedicated Republican squishy. Having no principles, you surrender in inches so often that the inches soon add to feet, yards and miles. You surrender one soldier at a time because every soldier has a good reason to not be the one to die while others live.
You have no reason to be complaining about Obama because not willing to support the solution, YOU are a big part of the problem. You are like a looter who having been caught, argues that unlike the other looters, you have NEEDS. No. Looting is looting and spinelessness is spinelessness.
The problem of non-assimilation is primarily not with immigrants. Most of the immigrants I know worked hard for their chance to be Americans and saved for years, learning English awaiting the day they could come here, legally.
Non-assimilation is primarily an issue with illegal aliens. They have no interest in being Americans. Our laws, language and culture mean nothing to them. Not enforcing our laws leads them to believe they mean nothing to us.
With all due respect. If the GOP thinks they can continue to import cheap labor for their donors at the expense of the citizens, they will. I will not vote for that again. If we continue to play the game of “the other guy is worse”, we will lose our country. Sorry, but I will not participate in that game any longer.
The GOP power brokers think we will vote for “anybody but a Democrat” so they can continue to ignore securing the borders and enforcing the laws. I was hoping GOP primary voters would give the party elites some surprises in the primaries. We never really got the chance. First choice Hunter, second choice Thompson, third choice Romney were all out before VA voted.
I wanted to vote for a GOP candidate in Nov.’08, I will not vote for any amnesty supporter. I voted Bob Barr.
If it takes crushing the GOP so a new party representing American citizens can arise, so be it.
Phil, your resolute conservatism is admirable. Your grip on reality however, in this case seems rather feeble. It is not squishy or compromising to acknowledge human and political realities, and semantic battles like this between conservatives here – who completely agree on principle – are counter productive. Placing someone like McCotter in the RINO camp based on his response to Bunning’s questionable timing misses the mark. Bunning’s principles are not in question – The wisdom of choosing this issue to assert them is.
And, really, alluding to McCotter as a RINO is just nuts. Sorry.
Soon to be 55, never married and dates only for pretenses. This man is a politician plain and simple. He wanted to be a politician so badly, he welded the closet shut and ran in the only party you can win in South Carolina. If he was in California, he’d out-flame Barney Frank. He sides with the Dems because he is one. I don’t care what you’re sexual preferences may be, just stop being a liar.
You know I support Hayworth against McCain. Yet you spew this kind of bile at me.
Just because you are too dense and opinionated to understand what I am trying to tell you about McCotter doesn’t mean I am “spineless” or a “looter.”
You need to grow up, Phil. Seriously.
Amnesty is national suicide.
I think you’re right. He is such a fraud… a DIRC (a Democrat In Republican Clothing)
Graham is such a disgusting, pandering little dirtbag and is always looking for attention.
I wonder if this is going to be discussed at Obama’s latest Muslim “social entrepreneurship” summit. Al Qaeda seems to be calling for US Muslim entrepreneurs to strike.
Roland, why is backing Hayworth over McCain an argument that you have a spine? Your boat is full of holes from compromising elsewhere. You hang your hat on principles that amount to being partly pregnant and sometimes honest. Those are not virtues that bring about better societies. They are intellectual corruptions. What good will Hayworth do if you allow a boat full of spineless weasels? Seriously, how old are you? Fifteen? Take a pencil and sheet of paper of parse your logic. It doesn’t parse. It your kind of logic that gets weasels like Grahamnesty re-elected. Why don’t you give him a pass too? His constituents know he supports amnesty yet keep re-electing him. How is that different from your logic about McCotter?
Sounds to me like it is YOU who needs to grow up.
WTF is wrong with these people? And who are the idiots that vote for them?
Breaking news. America Al Qaeda, Adam Gahdan, just captured in Karachi!
Gadahn is being held on charges of treason. That is a capital crime punishable by death no matter where he is tried. I would like to recommend a sentence of one month in the electric chair.
*I’ve seen the breaking news; Treason of this sort should equal death and nothing less; I would like to think that Bin Laden and Al Zahiri are close to capture; My feeling is that Pakistan has known all along where they are, and with momentum now on their side, are ready to give them up; Pop a cap in them before Holder gets involved!
Well, no, the taliban in question is being held by the Pakistani’s, and not yet charged with anything. Gadahn has been charged in a US court with treason, but it now appears the detainee is not in fact Gadahn, but a Taliban big shot by the name of Abu Yahya – Possibly confused with one of Gadahn’s aliases – Yahya Majadin Adams.
Still a lot of confusion, but at this point looks like a false alarm. Aaaawww nuts!!
Dear Lindsey… Your one and only answer to closing Gitmo is “No” and your one and only answer to trials in the US is also “No”.
Here’s my answer to you – YOU have to go
It’s one thing to have to fight back the liberal onslaught of the liberal left it’s another to have to fight an otherwise reasonable Senator. Geeezz. I hope to hell the voters of SC send him a clear message soon.
