BOOM! Michele Bachmann Publishes Gingrich’s 2004 Pro-Amnesty Letter

Michele Bachmann today offered what she called “more evidence indicating that Newt Gingrich is the most liberal GOP candidate,” in a press release that cites a pro-amnesty letter Gingrich signed in 2004.

Is #PerryFail the Hot New #tcot Hashtag?

Rick Perry is already in a hole over his immigration policy, but he keeps on digging: “Are we going to kick these children over to the curb and say you cannot have access to college? Because the fact of the matter is there’s no way they could pay the out-of-state tuition.” Once more, Allahpundit wields […]

Mike in Ardmore tipped me to this story from Philadephia: Outside the Immigration Court building at 9th and Market Streets on Wednesday, about 100 demonstrators knelt on the sidewalk in memory of recent deportees, whose names they wore on string-and-paper necklaces. It was just one stop in a mile-long walk to increase public pressure on […]

Governor Brewer Responds To White House Amnesty Grant With Wild. . .No, Not Enthusiasm

by Smitty Via Townhall: The Obama administration cannot get its amnesty schemes through Congress, so now it has resorted to implementing its plans via executive fiat. There’s simply no other description for today’s announcement that the federal government will not pursue the deportation of individuals who are in the country illegally but meet certain criteria.

Chris Matthews: Exceptionally Idiotic

I’ve been sitting here with MSNBC on my office TV and have twice today seen a particular “Lean Forward” promotional spot in which Chris Matthews uses the phrase “American exceptionalsm” in a way that is both wrong and tendentious.
