I look at O's security team and I would agree with McCain on this one. "O" should also go. What does the country do with Obama? He can be impeached. If the Pubs keep the House and take the Senate, the damage already done will be further limited. The other alternative is to do nothing and ride Obama out until 2016. Right now, it looks like Hildabeast is candidate for President although it is early. She leads any Pub mentioned and there haven't been any other Donks mentioned at this time. We may end up with another weak, do-nothing loser for a President for 8 more years who can veto anything that comes along much like Reid effectively does now.

McCain - go fire yourself. You banged that drum for your heros, these guys, and sold sold sold that they were thumbs up OK and needed weapons and air cover.
And while we are talking about bad guys crossing borders with impunity - how is Arizona doing, and what are you doing for Arizona?

"the Senate Conservatives Fund, supported by former Sen. Jim DeMint of South Carolina, stayed out of the race despite backing long-shot challengers to other Republican senators"
"Graham's victory was also aided by assiduous attention to constituent service"
The only sentences in the entire article that matter, and the real reasons Graham won.
Everything else in the article is window dressing. He's a man who is good at bringing home the pork for his constituents and little else. Not conservative fiscally or socially.
His buddy ran air cover for him, and his constituents don't want the pork to end. Period. That's why he won.

They didn't realize that Cantor was in trouble until it was too late. If they had had more time to bring the full weight of the machine to bear this would have gone the other way.
Graham has a consistent, coherent position. Which is worthy of respect, even if it is not the position that a voter wants. At least that hypothetical voter knows what he/she is getting.
When I lived in Michigan, forget about parties, I never felt bad to vote for the Senator from Dow Chemical, instead of the one from General Motors. I knew what I was getting, and was happy when he delivered.
Cantor has always been a freak on some sort of self-aggrandizing cruise, where he could bask in every light pointing in from every direction, which required saying all sort of inconsistent babble. Well that may work to get donations, but it cannot create support. His constituents knew that he would rather support whoever gave him the most money, instead of them. And they rationally dumped him.
It is not about immigration, it is about faithlessness. Finally, after so many terms, his lack of devotion to his constituents was noticed.
Good riddance.
I hope his successor can deliver on his constituents' expectations.

And if you don't know anything about Michigan, let me tell you that Dow is much less evil than GM. And I came to that conclusion 20 years prior to driving 50k miles in a Cobalt.
[BREITBART] House Rules Committee Chairman Pete Sessions (R-TX) is working to outflank GOP Whip Kevin McCarthy on immigration in the early stages of a clash for Eric Cantor's soon-to-be vacant Majority Leader slot, telling a group of news hounds that securing the border is a "huge focus" of his.
"I am going to focus on the border. I am going to focus on fixing the border. We are going to make sure that this administration gets closer, and closer, and closer to securing the border. And we're going to have to take us there. And if we don't, we're going to lose our country. We're going to lose who we are as a country," Sessions said.
Moments later, McCarthy exited the House chamber and declined to comment on the issue, saying "people have to announce before they talk."
The early and aggressive moves by Sessions underscore that immigration promises to be a volatile issue in leadership contests after a political neophyte economist deposed Cantor by attacking him on the issue in the primary race, prompting the current scramble for power.

George Soros has pushed "open borders." The left loves the concept but then again their concepts are a bit muddled and fuzzy and critical thinking doesn't seem to be their strong suit. For Obama it seems to be a political weapon to nail down votes. The unintended (or maybe intended) consequences of open borders is destabilization of countries and order.

I believe it has ready been lost. The labor participation rate is creeping lower and folks are screaming over the border with their hands out and their mouths open.

And when the war to reclaim it comes, and the left begs for mercy, remember to tell them "I had mercy and compassion, until you used it to destroy my country, so now you will just have to face what you created."
He supports ObamaFacistCare and open borders. He says what people want to hear when trying to win a position them supports the dems when it comes time to vote in the chamber.
Tuberculosis carrying foreign nationals are being processed at military basis and then released in Texas. Works for the Regime and Sessions is busy trying to replace Cantor and Sessions will be as bad if not worse than Cantor.

Alright. We need to get on the same page. I'm linking the Senator from AL, you're linking the Rep from TX. My error!
But, reading your page, it seems to me that Tex is not advocating what we think of as amnesty. More like a work card that doesn't lead to citizenship. If they want citizenship, they go home and get in line.
[BREITBART] A dozen or so senior GOP senators gathered with Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell at the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) headquarters to raise funds for Sen. Thad Cochran (R-MS) on Tuesday evening.
Noteably, none of them seemed too proud of it, based on how quickly they scurried away from the building--some outright declining to offer even a simple word of praise for Cochran--when asked why they were there.
The fundraiser--a last dash from the GOP establishment and McConnell, who is "all in" to save Cochran from his conservative primary challenger, state Sen. Chris McDaniel--occurred just hours before conservative Dave Brat crushed House Majority Leader Eric Cantor in a primary for his Virginia House seat, delivering the biggest-ever blow the Tea Party has delivered to a sitting GOP incumbent.

The NRSC is part of the problem, not part of the solution. It's just another funding agency of the Beltway Party.
[NATIONALJOURNAL] House Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy huddled with about 35 politicians Wednesday afternoon to seek their support in his bid to be the chamber's next majority leader, according to a member in the room.
The meeting included the heads of several committees, including Appropriations Chairman Harold Rogers, Ways and Means Chairman Dave Camp, and Energy and Commerce Chairman Fred Upton. Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., who was recently tapped to lead the select committee to investigate Benghazi, was also present.
Upton said that he supports McCarthy personally but didn't want to speak for his colleagues. However,

A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
