Lies AND Amnesty

This Examiner "Hot Zone" editorial should be a double-whammy against Obama's claims of integrity and moderation. Not only is he yet again breaking his word on hiring lobbyists -- whether he should have made the promise in the first place is worthy of discussion, but having made it, he should not give the lie to it -- but he is doing so on behalf a a radical La Raza type. Look, I'm a moderate on immigration. I supported the Krieble plan. I support, under certain restricted circumstances, the concept of guest workers in flush times (i.e., NOT now). But La Raza is beyond the pale, and so is this appointee, especially if she requires an ethics waiver. Read all about it at the link above. (A Hot Zone is a quick-hit, online only, shortish editorial by the Examiner.)

we're all moderates on immigration because we don't want to be perceived as 'racists'.

I am neither a moderate on ILLEGAL immigration nor a racist and I do not I accept the liberal premise that I am a racist or the alan brooks premise that the game is over... Suck it up and stand on principle
