Congressman Jeff Flake (R-AZ) announced today that he will run for the Senate seat being vacated by retiring Sen. Jon Kyl (R-AZ). Flake has some weaknesses on immigration — he’s been pro-amnesty — but is a strong fiscal conservative who could potentially bolster the small but growing ranks of limited government senators.

Hopefully Flake can be beaten in the Republican primary. If not, Gabby Giffords would be a better choice. A Flake win would not only be a feather in the hats of the Bush globalist wing of the Republican Party, Flake could be counted on joining the McCain-Graham open borders traitor ring in the US Senate. Flake would be more dangerous than Giffords.

Sorry Derek:
Aside from his wrong stance on the border Flake opposed the Bush budgets, bailouts and earmarks even refusing to seek pork for his own district. Since the border issue has changed over the last couple years we might ask him what he thinks today. Gifford would still caucus with the Dems and support most of their agenda, Flake will not.

For me, open borders is the number one national question and Flake flunks. I'd rather the country continue its way to financial ruin than to hand the country over to the Third World. The Bushes, McCain, Graham and Flake are enemies of the historic American nation.

Well, we all have our priorities. Like I said, ask him about DREAM now, but sure don't throw out the most fiscally Conservative Congressman in the country. If we fail economiclly, we become third world (which is after all what The Left wants) regardless of border policy.

Giffords is a big time pro-abort--most Conservatives wouldn't support her.
Besides, she won't be well enough to ramp up a Senate campaign in the near future--or ever.

You would think a guy from Arizona would understand closed borders.

Just what we need another flake in the Senate.
Oh, his name is Flake.
Never-mind!
