Virginia Senate: Bob Marshall Gives Jim Gilmore a Run for his Money
The Senate Primary in Virginia was a David and Goliath race if there ever was one. Bob Marshall, a little known and even less funded state delegate, was up against Jim Gilmore, a former Governor and RNC chair backed by the establishment and their money. You can guess where Gilmore stands on immgration, and you'd be right!
Marshall was a principled proponent of border security and had a strong record on immigration in the State Assembly. Tom and Bay did a fundraiser for him.
Then Tom gave a press statement exposing Gilmore's support for amnesty under other names, while Marshall's grassroots went into overdrive.
Even though Marshall was outspent 14-1, he almost won - coming within 65 votes out of over 10,000!
It was a heartbreaker, but it shows just how serious ?? are about this issue.

OUTRAGE OF THE WEEK

U.N. Sends Mexican Nationalist to Investigate Prince William County, VA
You won't believe this! After a group called "Mexicanos Sin Fronteras" (Mexican without borders) complained about Prince William County's common-sense measures against illegal aliens, the United Nations decided to send their special rapporteur on "migrants' rights" to investigate the town!
Whom are they sending? A complete open-borders globalist named Jorge Bustamante. This cat has explicitly claimed that the United States should not have authority to unilaterally enact ?oue? own immigration laws! Last year, he called on Mexicans to boycott companies that support Republican candidates.
Prince William County Chairman Corey Stewart is having nothing of it, responding "[The U.N. has] a history of trying to embarrass the United States while turning a blind eye to the regimes that are actually not just committing human-rights abuses, but engaged in genocide."
If there's a silver lining to this outrage, it is that it will help wake up Americans to the fact that the attack on our immigration laws is a direct attack to our sovereignty.

South Carolina Gets Tough (on/about?) Anti-Illegal Immigration
When Bay was down in South Carolina for the primary, the people told her that they didnt' have a major problem with illegal immigration until Georgia passed laws that caused their illegals to migrate to South Carolina.
South Carolinians want the illegals to keep moving. They demanded their government do something about the problem, and on Wednesday, Governor Mark Sanford signed a serious anti-illegal alien measure. The law toughens requirements on employers with E-verify and denies many public benefits like in-state tuition to illegal aliens. It also increases penalties against illegals who use false documents and stolen identities.
The founders were right: Power to the States.

John McCain Lies About Slandering Patriots
During a conference with bloggers, Quin Hillyer of the Washington Examiner asked McCain to explain why "during the immigration debate, you referred to [amnesty] opponents as nativists and compared them to supporters of Jim Crow" (...? , .?)
McCain responded, "I've never said that. Please don't allege that. I'm proud of the way I've conducted myself and treated opponents with respect, whatever their views. I have to stop you there. I've never used those two words before that I can recall."
To refresh McCain's memory, on the Senate floor he sarcastically asked opponents of amnesty, "what next, are we going to say that work-authorized immigrants are going to have to ride in the back of the bus?"
According to the New York Observer, in a 2006 meeting with rich Republican Donors, "[McCain] criticized elements in his own party as "nativist" before lambasting the punditry of Rush Limbaugh, Lou Dobbs and Michael Savage for helping to "fuel the problem."
How is all this Hispandering helping McCain? According to the latest Gallup poll, Hispanics are supporting Obama 62-29%.
