Will Benghazi kill amnesty?
McCain then organized a colloquy on the Senate floor with himself, Graham and Sen. Kelly Ayotte, R-N.H., in which he said, “This president — this administration — has either been guilty of colossal incompetence or been engaged in a coverup, neither of which is acceptable to the American people.”
We’ll see how this Benghazi issue plays out, or whether Obama even tries to nominate Rice for Secretary of State to begin with. But look for a second at the three Republican Senators fighting with Obama over Rice: McCain, Graham, and Ayotte. Those just also happen to be the three most likely “yes” votes for any immigration amnesty plan Obama hopes to get through the Senate.

I’m thinking another recession, tax hikes, and a fight over debt will do that.

In case anyone forgot…The GOP will betray you.

They’ll get their responses. The conspiracy theories don’t pan out. They’ll have to move on to next conspiracy theory.

4 dead is NO conspiracy!

wishcasting here…
Grahamnesty and McCain will crawl over broken glass (yeah, really, not like conservatives did last week) and vote for any amnesty bill.. now whether Obama has the skillz to muster something through the GOP House is another questions altogether

God willing it destroys this whole administration.

No. Obama ordered it and had popcorn while he watched it on TV is.

Somebody’s honest about their quest for “truth”. Be careful you don’t get Akinized.

If only all the top dogs could testify.
Eh, what am I saying, Australian wine doesn’t drink itself.

Amnesty wasn’t likely before the exchange so….

You hacks attempt to “Akinize” us regardless so what do I care what you think.
jawkneemusic on November 15, 2012 at 6:53 PM
Ayotte one of the three most likely to vote for amnesty? I’d put Hatch ahead of her.

Why aren’t Republicans casting immigration reform as a national security issue?
Weren’t most or all of the 9/11 terrorists here on expired visas?
We have so much to defend? Why can’t the GOP get moderates to start viewing this issue through that lens?
Liberals love to laud how we’re a nation of immigrants.
That’s great, so far as it goes. These days, today’s immigrant is not your grandfather’s or even your father’s immigrant.
After all, if Babu Bhatt can get deported immediately on Seinfeld for not renewing his visa, why isn’t this happening now?

Too bad you can only offer laughably lame snark instead of providing evidence that 0dumba and his administration cared much about protecting the lives of our people in Benghazi, right?
If you wish to contend that I’m wrong, why don’t you go ahead and demonstrate what 0dumba and his adminstration ever did to help them out after their requests for it?

The weapons Hamas used today came from the US, via Libya. Yes, Obama ordered them to Libya, and to Syria. Yes, have some more popcorn, fools.
