Just days before the crucial New Hampshire primary, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney launched a television ad Thursday that attacks Sen. John McCain’s record on taxes and immigration.

In the ad, a New Hampshire resident says that McCain “supported amnesty for illegal immigrants, taking jobs away from Americans.â€

We're doomed.

One of the good guys, Jim DeMint, has also attacked McAmnesty:

Graham, DeMint hit Iowa for candidates
S.C. senators campaign for those they want to see win GOP nomination
By JAMES ROSEN - Washington Bureau

WASHINGTON — Sens. Lindsey Graham and Jim DeMint flew to Iowa on Wednesday to join the final push for the nation’s first presidential balloting.

Graham expected to give pep talks at Iowa Republican caucuses today for U.S. Sen. John McCain of Arizona, while DeMint planned to do the same on behalf of former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney.

South Carolina and Mississippi are the only states to send both their U.S. senators to Iowa to campaign for competing White House candidates.

As they traveled to Iowa, Graham and DeMint delivered shots at each other’s candidates.

Graham, a first-term Seneca Republican, rebutted Romney’s recent claim that presidents don’t need to be foreign policy experts.

Neither of Alabama's senators are expected to endorse in the Republican presidential primary, but Jeff Sessions' name showed up in a Mitt Romney release today criticizing John McCain.

Romney attacked McCain for his position on immigration reform, and in his release he quotes several "conservative Republican senators (who) fought against rewarding illegal behavior."

Here is Romney's reference to Sessions:

Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL): Illegal Aliens Are "Not Entitled" To Draw Social Security. "Sometimes you have to make decisions. Somebody who came here illegally and worked illegally and submitted an illegal Social Security number is not entitled to draw on the Treasury of the United States." True enough, Sessions said as much back in May 2006 and it is in the public record.

Sessions' office said today that they were not contacted by the Romney campaign about the press release and it should not be construed as an endorsement. As long as the senator's words are quoted accurately and properly attributed, his office considers it fair game for anyone to use.

Love Sessions, he's a great patriot.

Hopefully Graham the "Shut the bigots up" senator in reference to us, will do great harm to the Mc Cain ticket.
