In the November 2006 election, the voters demanded congressional ethics reform. And so, the newly appointed chairman of the Senate Rules Committee, Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., is now duly in charge of regulating the ethical behavior of her colleagues.

McCain, Giuliani, Romney: Three Stooges
by
Roland, the Gunslinger
on Fri 26 Jan 2007 10:54 PM EST

It is surprising that many so called “conservatives” would even consider voting for liberals like John McCain, Rudolph Giuliani, or Mitt Romney. Issue by issue, these stooges prove their liberal loyalties.
First off, and most importantly, all three support the third-world invasion of the United States. John McCain has gone out of his way to reward illegals and give them more rights than American citizens. Rudolph Giuliani offered illegals sanctuary in NYC at the expense of hard-working Americans. And Mitt Romney, who now says he’s opposed to the invasion, only recently supported amnesty.

But a photograph published earlier this month in the German weekly Stern provides disturbing evidence that it is doing precisely that.

on Fri 26 Jan 2007 08:42 PM EST

When conservatives finally moved to bolster border security and debated how to address the millions of illegal immigrants that took advantage of decades of open borders. Critics of tough measures complained that the government should focus its efforts against employers who took advantage of illegal aliens and helped drive down wages for Americans. However, when a Republican offered an amendment to the Senate minimum-wage bill that would address both concerns, the Democrats suddenly couldn't tolerate the thought of employer enforcement:
