RedState: "Drumroll Please - Your Republican Sellouts"

On the heels of a national poll from Rasmussen Reports showing just 22% of Americans support the Kennedy/McConnell Amnesty Bill, the Louisville liberal decided to shove Teddy Kennedy's bill down the Senate's throat. From RedState:

The Immigration cloture motion passed, as we know, by a whopping 64-35 margin... Here, for your entertainment pleasure, and primary election season considerations, I bring you our heroes:

McConnell (R-KY).

McConnell Tries To Have It Both Ways As Conservative TV Attacks Continue In Kentucky

The Louisville liberal continues to think he can play us like fools. As Grassfire.org and Numbers USA unleash TV ads attacking Mitch McConnell for pushing Teddy Kennedy's amnesty bill through the Senate, McConnell now claims he is "wavering" on the issue. PoliPundit notes:

McConnell faces re-election next year in Kentucky. He and Sen. Lott (R-Miss.) led the way for the revival of the amnesty this week. But McConnell clearly doesn’t want to take responsibility for this. As I wrote on Thursday, McConnell’s credibility lies with whether he votes NO on the clotures. A NO vote on the final vote on the bill while voting YES on cloture will not free him of any responsibility for any passage that might happen.

So McConnell thinks he is going to twist arms to get Teddy Kennedy's amnesty bill to the floor and then switch his vote once the outcome is decided? Something tells me Kentucky conservatives aren't gonna buy this for a second when we have Larry Forgy speaking out!

More Disenchantment With McConnell In The Courier-Journal

The Courier-Journal published more letters today from Republicans in Kentucky that are infuriated with the Louisville liberal for pushing Teddy Kennedy's amnesty bill through the Senate. Here are a few excerpts:

Switching vote

I have always voted for Mitch McConnell. Because he is trying to ram that massive amnesty bill down our throats, I will vote for anyone who runs against him in the future.

'Opportunity to pay'

I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks for Sen. Mitch McConnell's successful effort to bring back the so-called immigration reform bill from the brink of defeat….

I, and my family, will be given the opportunity to pay the illegal aliens' and their families' medical bills, furnish schools so they may learn English (should they decide to make the effort), assure they have proper food and housing, and pay for additional law enforcement to counter the increase in crime that is sure to come.

Thanks again, Sen. McConnell, for all of these wonderful opportunities.

National Conservative Groups Launch New Ad Targeting Kennedy/McConnell

The Heritage Foundation's Robert Bluey just posted a new ad on RedState that is sponsored by the Eagle Forum and Let Freedom Ring, which targets Mitch McConnell, Teddy Kennedy, Lindsey Graham, and Jon Kyl for sponsoring the amnesty bill:

National Review: "Nightmare on Amnesty Street"

As the national media continues to hammer away at the Kennedy/McConnell Amnesty Bill, one has to wonder if Mitch McConnell will even stay in the race to get hammered by Larry Forgy. the National Review writes:

This week, conservatives will watch in horror as Reid and Republican Leader Mitch McConnell give a wink and a nod to amendments approved by the drafters of the bipartisan amnesty approach to immigration reform in anticipation of a final deal.

The American people don’t want amnesty for illegal aliens, a fact shown by poll after poll. Perhaps lawmakers’ haste to ram an unpopular bill through explains why poll numbers for Congress are also diving. President Bush hasn’t been faring well either in surveys. In a recent Rasmussen poll, only 15 percent give him good or excellent marks on immigration.
