Open-borders extremist Raul Grijalva running scared
On Sept. 27, I endorsed GOP challenger Ruth McClung in the AZ-07 congressional race and urged you to show your support. You’ve watched and helped her candidacy gain rapid momentum over the last several weeks. She raised $100k in a single day thanks to last week’s grass-roots money bomb. Full disclosure: I contributed $100 to the effort.
Now, open-borders incumbent Raul Grijalva is screaming “RAAAAADICAL” and the DCCC is trying to ride to his rescue by attacking her as fiscally irresponsible:
National Democrats are coming to the defense of Rep. Raul Grijalva (D-Ariz.).
Grijalva has recently been putting up some weak poll numbers in a heavily Democratic district and is under fire from conservative groups over his call for a boycott of Arizona.
To help save the party from an embarrassing defeat, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee went up on the air with a TV ad targeting Grijalva’s opponent, Republican Ruth McClung.
The ad hits McClung for supporting a “new national sales tax” and “tax breaks for corporation shipping jobs overseas.”
McClung’s response here. Quite rich for the auto bailout-supporting, pro-porkulus, Obamacare-peddling Grijalva to worry about fiscal sanity now.
FYI: Grijalva is just one of several vulnerable Arizona Democrats.
Keep working for an Election Day clean sweep.
Remember: The ballot box is the ultimate sanitizer!

You mean like Wilma Flintstone and Betty Rubble taking the credit card and yelling “Charge it!”
Maybe some money bombed her way would help???
I sent mine, as meager as it is, every little bit helps.
I will do what I can to help with some cash. There are so many r’s who need and should get elected, funds don’t go very far to help them all. ANY person who is for open borders needs to get the boot!

Let’s hope Rocket Scientist Ruth McKlung can wire a RATO booster to Grijalva’s rear end and launch him into Funemployment.

Or point him South and send him back to his beloved Mejixo. He seems to like their way of doing things.

Enjoy your trip, Raul. Give Don Presidente our best–as you represent ILLEGAL ALIENS better than you “represent” American Citizens. Hasta la Vista, payaso–Terminator Style.

Ai carumba, my “dirty gringo hands off Atzlan” schtick is not working! What to do? Hey Barack, you are the Great Entertainer, give me some of that shuck and jive for the peoples. Maybe Mitch can shake her junk for the proletariat comrades too.
Calling for a boycott of businesses in your own state and congressional district is, as every one knows, fiscally responsible.
It’s logic like that makes the Stupid Party look like geniuses.
Somebody please tell me what is more fiscally irresponsible than a marxist like Grijalva? You steal other peoples money then use it to pay off your cronies. This guy should be stripped of citizenship and returned to Mexico.
These people are a broken record – they simply cannot escape their talking points.
More porkulus money was sent overseas than was spent in our own borders!
McClung has a great opportunity to make a final blow to Grijalva…completely cut the legs out from under him. Let’s just hope she takes that opportunity.
Mexico’s Ambassador to Arizona’s 7th Congressional District, Raul Grijalva, needs to be sent packing.
Keep the support coming if you can.
I really don’t understand why this issue is so hard. Seriously build a fence. Like Hadrian’s Wall, The Great Wall, the DMZ in Korea. We should be able to stop people from crossing the border illegally. Until they stop crossings (not increase deportations because you deport them and they come back 4 or 5 times increasing deportations for one illegal), this problem won’t be solved.
The sad thing is that this is actually an easy problem for the federal government to solve. There are hard problems, but this one should be simple.
Oh and if we’re giving away money, I’ll take some.
Too bad. Repealing the 16th amendment and passing the FairTax would be the best thing for the economy. Don’t forget:
If you want freedom instead of communism/socialism, why would you have a taxing structure that makes it easy to destroy freedom and institute socialism?
But I’ll take a flat tax, too. Anything that will lead to the long overdue death of the class warfare based income tax will work for me.
Actually, it is easy. Any company that is found with illegal aliens in it’s employ should have the CEO, President, Owner, whatever, sent to jail. 6 months should do. No business contact for those 6 months. That means the company is without it’s leader.
As soon as the head of the company gets out of jail, you can bet the first thing the CEO will do is to fire the person that hired the illegals. You only have to do that to a few companies. The other’s will get the message real quick. Once the jobs dry up, the illegals will deport themselves.
It won’t happen because the RINOs want the cheap labor, the socialists want the votes, and the unions want membership dues.
The 9/30 quarterly financial reports were just posted on the FEC.gov website on 10/15.
According to http://www.fec.gov/DisclosureSearch/HSRefreshCandList.do?category=disH&stateName=AZ&congressId=07&election_yr=2010 Ruth McClung has a significantly lower amount of cash on hand than her opponent.
As of 9/30
Ruth McClung had Cash on Hand = $29,939
Rep. Raul Grijalva had Cash on Hand = $231,416
Vote Rep. Grijalva OUT OF OFFICE!
That’s the answer right there! Put American citizens who pay taxes in jail! woohoo! That’s good government in a free society. A non-taxpayer breaks the law? who cares? let them go. they only want a better life.
it’s those evil American tax payers that are the problem. Yeah, send them to jail and force them to pay for the schools and hospitals and police for the illegal aliens to use.
AMERICANS ARE THE ENEMY! Long live the illegal alien victim. The American government is in place to punish Americans and champion non-American law breakers.
If you throw all the taxpayers in jail, who will pay the taxes? Illegal aliens?
The operative word is “and”. I fully expect that if the Fair Tax were ever enacted, it would exist in addition to, and not in place of, all income taxes. A national 23% Fair Tax would be a flat tax and a great, across-the-board economic leveler but all other taxes would absolutely have to go. And what guarantee do we have that they would go? I don’t trust anyone – let alone the government – with the contents of my wallet.
I would love to see Raul Grijalva audited. If he is not a major recipient of cartel money, I will eat my car.
Except by hiring Illegals Thwacker, they are EVADING taxes.
You’re right! If we had the right people in Congress solving our border security issues would not be hard at all.
But can we trust the current crop of Congresspeople to have the same perspective on protecting our country as we do?
Watch this video of California Rep. Loretta Sanchez, who has been the Chairwoman of the Border Security Committee in Congress since 2007, speaking to the Hispanic Caucus and comparing a fence on our southern border to the Berlin Wall.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EcyHgwEexX0&feature=related
The issue depends on which side of the fence our elected Congresspeople are on.
If you really want to secure our southern border, we need to replace Rep. Loretta Sanchez with Van Tran in California and replace Raul Grijalva with Ruth McClung in Arizona!
Why not just ask him? I would like to see reporters asking all pro-amnesty, pro-open borders, pro-sanctuary city politicians point blank not even whether they are on the take but how much they are taking.
We know it’s happening and we know it is a very very large amount of money (trillions). You can’t base the biggest business in the world on cash-on-the-barrel dollar settlements unless you know that you can laundering that money. And you can’t launder that money without crooked banks, crooked politicians, crooked regulators and crooked multi-national corporations.
Since we know it is happening and the benefactors are so obvious, what’s stopping everyone from asking? Just look for the snakes who look like they swallowed a pig.
Within the FairTax bill is specific text repealing all other taxes. Everything goes.
Passing the FairTax does not require the repeal of the 16th amendment. The advantage of repealing the 16th amendment is that you can word the new amendment so that income can never be taxed, in perpetuity. So there’s no going back to socialist class warfare.
If you give the socialists a fall back position, they will stop at nothing to derail any economic success the FairTax brings and scream for the return of the income tax.
Bonus- he is ugly, she is a babe.

I didn’t say not to punish the illegals. But hiring illegals is a violation of the law. So, put the company CEOs in jail for doing that.
Obviously, if you know the company has hired illegals, then you’ve also caught the illegals! Throw them out on their @ss. And build a fence, too.
I’m for stopping all illegal immigration. If it means putting a few CEOs in jail, erecting a fence, tracking down and deporting the illegals, GREAT! Do it all. But the quickest way is to show the illegals that there are no jobs here. No jobs, then they stop coming.
Putting a few CEOs in jail will cause all other businesses to get rid of their illegal alien workers because the other CEOs don’t want to go to jail. Simple.
Crackdown on all of the activity that makes the illegals want to come here.
I appreciate your sentiment, but let me point out something that happens in a healthy economy. . .
People have work that needs to be done by people who want to do it.
The fact that there are jobs is awesome! The fact that there are people that want to do the job is awesome!
If we had a guest worker program where illegals could apply with no chance of citizenship and public benefits like welfare, medicaid, public education, that would be great for everyone.
People who have work can hire people who want to work LEGALLY. But you have to build a fence. You can NOT reward illegal aliens by giving them citizenship. You don’t have to deport them all, and you CERTAINLY shouldn’t attack the problem by arresting American business people.
The problem with illegals is the idea that they will be given instant citizenship. . . which would be OK if we weren’t an entitlement state now. As soon as they become citizens, we are responsible for their social security and medicare for as long as they live.
We can’t afford to give current Americans what’s been promised yet.
Illegal aliens aren’t terrible people. They just don’t deserve citizenship. AND they should pay some taxes from the money they earn (police and roads). And we need to know who they are officially in case crimes are committed.
Works for me, Phil.
The look on his face would be priceless.
“Given the amount of money the cartels are paying you to advocate a boycott of your own district, why can’t you mount a more effective re-election campaign?”
Actually he looks like the wife of the Chilean miner who has the girlfriend on the side.
Grijalva is so left, that if Che Guevara were alive today, he would wear shirts with Grijalva’s face on it
Grijalva’s immigration grade from NumbersUSA: “F-”

It’s time to let someone else have a chance for a change.
Exactly the same attack on Djou here in Hawaii.
In their debate he asked her which specific bills he had supported would she have vetoed. She squirmed, then said she couldn’t say because she hadn’t read them. Heh.
He also has a nice ad with video of his opponent saying there really is no waste in government.
Or in this case, someone else’s governemnt.
At the risk of sounding racccciiiissssttt, I have found during my few years having to deal with Medicaid (not for me – for someone else), guess who gets all the medical aid they need free of charge? Guess which language is spoken at the clinic? I saw babies being popped out to provide an anchor for the mother and/or father; the VERY YOUNG mothers are taught nothing different than to have a baby by 15 or 16, make everyone legal, get free medical care for life, and you don’t even have to speak the language to enjoy MY TAX DOLLARS.
I just matched Michelle’s contribution to Ruth McClung.
I’ll stay at home this weekend instead of gassing up the truck and boat to go fish on the Columbia. This country desperately needs to get rid of traitors like Grijalva, and the Chinook aren’t biting anyway…
Yup. Our leftists in government encourage this behavior aided by immigrant organizations who both see this as a means of increasing their political power, with Uncle Sap (i.e. our tax paying public)footing the bill.
Wonder how much of that $231K he had left came from foreigners donating online with store bought Visa gift cards?
No worries though. David Axelrod is going to get to the bottom of it.
Raul, any foreign money in your campaign? Any money from Mexicans?
White House, you better get on that right away. Foreigners may be stealing our elections.
Now that is rich, a liberal accusing others of financial irresponsibility.
————-
As far as the 23% national sales tax goes, I don’t think Ms. McClung isn’t up on the “Fair Tax” in it’s entirety. I’ve noticed a lot of conservatives not necessarily politicians do not have a good idea of how it would work, too bad…it may not be a perfect system, but it beats the hell out of what we have now.
best of Luck to Ms. McClung
Raul Grijalva is the best Congressman Mexico has, they would really hate to lose that seat.
CEOs don’t hire people. You think the Microsoft CEO knows anything about Jose the illegal that cleans up the factory in NC? Just because an illegal is employed somewhere doesn’t mean the CEO is at fault.
Now, if the CEO and company have made it company policy to hire illegals, that’s a different story.
The race card is the only card that clown has to play!
Now is the time conservatives, support Ruth McClung and as many conservative candidates as you can.
How can this even be possible? Michael Medved assured us that Arizona’s desire to crack down on illegals would cost Republicans elections in Arizona…heck in the entire country in 2010, and beyond, and we would forever more be subject to Democrat rule because of it.
Hay, carumba! The only thing radical is the size of this guy’s melon! How does a guy who has only half a brain, get a noggin that roomy?
I sent Ruth some money a while ago, and actually received a Thank You letter without another solicitation for more money! I like that! I HOPE SHE WINS!! These ridiculous slurs and lies that have NOTHING to do with the issues is what is going to defeat those moron regressives. It shows they have nothing to say! Unbelievable the junk they pull out of their arses when they have nothing else. And, why would anyone vote for a person who wants to boycott his own constituants?
The only “radicals” or “extremists” are the very people who are calling everyone else radicals and extremists. We are tired of everyone of them shoving socialism down our throats. They have burned all their bridges because they chose to govern by their will and not ours. They lied to us. They deceived us and they insulted us. I want them scared. I want them unemployed. I want they jailed! And after that, I want their traitorous butts on a plane out of here. If it’s so nice to live in a socialist country, I want them there and not here mucking things up again after we clean it up. They can take Soros with them.
Soros is the one funding the “fundamental transformation” of our nation against our will. Amnesty is part of the plan.
Medved is one of his stooges, even if he doesn’t know it. Advocating abandoning the rule of law isn’t conservative, it’s not even American.
Amnesty is surrender.
Of the rule of law and our country.
How stupid do you have to be to vote for a moron who called for a boycott of his own State?
A fish rots from the head. If CEOs were made personally responsible for assuring that all employees were legal residents, the problem would at least shrink spectacularly if not disappear entirely.
One of the questions that always comes up when soliciting 401(k) plans is whether the company’s investment committee understands that they are each personally liable if anything goes wrong. You might be surprised to learn how many didn’t know that until we told them. I assure you that revealing that fact changes attitudes. Suddenly, “Good enough!” doesn’t cut it anymore.
If that level of personal liability can be imposed on those responsible for administering 401(k) plans, why can’t it be placed on CEOs to certify that all of company’s employees are in the US legally?
MHO…all open-borders supporters should be jailed for aiding and abetting illegal immigration!!
My company just went through and redid everyone’s I-9. Birth certificates were required. No jpg’s on the internet accepted. Guess Barry couldn’t work here.
Is his head abnormally large, or is Øbama’s extraordinarily small?
Fixed it for ya.
Michelle thank you for continuing to highlight Ruth McClung for us. I am not in her district but will send her some more cash tomorrow when I get paid. And please, if you can send anything even if its only a dollar it will make a difference.

We have a “guest worker” program they are called HB1-pick a letter- Visas. There are many of them for specific industries, including one for athletes who have contracts with major league teams.
The problem is that once they have the visas they don’t give them back and they don’t leave when their 6 months are up. There is no tracking system on Visas–but you can go any where in the world and put you ATM card in the slot and get money from your account as well as your current balance. What if there were ATM machines that you had to put your visas in to report where you were every 30 days?? And if you didnt the police/Border Patrol/ICE/IRS would go to your last address and find out where you were.
We have very effective immigration laws but what we don’t have is a government willing to enforce the laws and whiney politicians that do favors for their “constituents”. We need to clean the House and the Senate and in two weeks it is going to be a good start.
Be aware though that the last day of the Senate session Sen Menendez submitted SB 3932 “Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act of 2010″ that the lame duck Congress will get to play with. The bill is 875 invisible pages because it is not posted anywhere, yet, and probably won’t be until they go back to DC. You can bet that Grijalva will go to whatever means necessary to get that passed before he “retires”.
BTW, right after he called for the boycott of AZ businesses he went to the Mexican Consulate in Nogales and supported them in their complaint against AZ at the UN (like we care, but just goes to show which side of the fence he is really on).
Never underestimate the stupidity of democratic voters.
This would be nice, give if you can.
How? Who says we even NEED the workers?
In an environment of 9.5% ‘official’ unemployment and unofficial but ever-so-real 16%-18% underemployment, do we really NEED to import more people to compete for a limited and dwindling number of jobs? That defies logic at the most basic level.
What’s eating Raul?
