GOP Valuesby Steve Soto
“Amnesty is wrong because amnesty rewards someone for illegal behavior."--James Sensenbrenner, May 26th
http://www.mercurynews.com/mld/mercurynews/news/politics/14678238.htmLet’s review the GOP’s "values":
Granting amnesty to “terrorists” http://www.defenselink.mil/news/Nov2005/20051130_3488.html who kill American troops: Good http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/06/14/AR2006061402432.htmlGranting amnesty to Mexicans: Bad? http://www.mercurynews.com/mld/mercurynews/news/politics/14678238.htmJust checking. And yes, GOP
http://www.dscc.org/news/roundup/20060615_amnesty/index.htm senators are actually endorsing such amnesty. If you are going to support giving a free pass to those who killed our soldiers and rolling them into the government, what message does that send to our troops that remain over there? For the record, the only one of these senators that actually served in combat was Ted Stevens
http://www.nndb.com/people/301/000032205/of Alaska, who served in the Army Air Corps in World War II. The rest of these GOP slugs avoided serving their country.
Lastly, tell me Speaker Hastert, what “steely resolve” is there in supporting “terrorists” who killed American troops, you combat-dodging, bribe-taking slug?

Bush Administration Suggested Amnesty Idea, Not IraqisWell, well. After Harry Reid hits Bush with a 2x4 on the amnesty issue this afternoon, introducing a Senate resolution that calls on Bush to tell the Iraqis that we oppose granting amnesty to those who have killed Americans, the aide who made the comments to the Washington Post for their story suddenly has his previously-submitted resignation accepted by Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki. Unfortunately for Bush, even though al-Maliki moved the aide out of the limelight, neither he nor the aide walked away from their support for the amnesty proposal, leaving it out there for Democrats to hammer around further.
..............
Even worse yet, we now find out that it was the Americans who first suggested this amnesty for those who have killed Americans.
In an interview in early April, Humam Hamoudi, a leading member of Iraq's largest Shiite religious party, said officials from the U.S. Embassy had raised the prospect of amnesty offers "for those who have not killed innocent Iraqis." The embassy has never confirmed such a proposal.
