60% of All Americans In Favor of New Arizona Illegal Immigration Law … Police Stop and Verify Immigration Status
Just the other day a Rasmussen poll showed that 70% of Arizona voters were in favor of the new illegal immigration law signed by AZ Gov. Jan Brewer to make it a state law for an individual to be in the United States illegally.
Now Rasmussen has done a national poll where 60% of American voters are in favor of allowing local police to stop and verify an individuals immigration status.
Arizona Governor Jan Brewer last week signed a new law into effect that authorizes local police to stop and verify the immigration status of anyone they suspect of being an illegal immigrant. A new Rasmussen Reports telephone survey finds that 60% of voters nationwide favor such a law, while 31% are opposed.
Seventy-seven percent (77%) of Republicans support the law along with 62% of voters not affiliated with either major party. Democratic voters are evenly divided on the measure.
Although 58% of those polled think that some Americans civil rights might be violated, 56% believe it is unlikely Congress will take action to gain control of the border. The federal government has no one but themselves to blame for not protecting our borders against illegal immigration and its citizens.
The Democrats and Obama have called the law misguided and irresponsible. However, who is it that is being irresponsible by fanning the flames of racism for their own political gain? Jammie Wearing Fool has an interesting interpretation of the poll. They state that the “Poll Finds Half the Democrats Are Racist, Nazi, Apartheid Supporters”. Indeed.
Seventy-seven percent (77%) of Republicans support the law along with 62% of voters not affiliated with either major party. Democratic voters are evenly divided on the measure.
So the Arizona law is like Nazi Germany, really? Hey Al, take a history lesson you race baiter. Funny, being a history major with a concentration in WWII and US foreign policy I missed it where the extermination of the Jews at the hands of the Nazis was the same as protecting the borders from people who entered the United States illegally.
Oh and by the way, where is the MSM reporting the violence spouting up in the demonstrations against the AZ illegal immigration law? They are so quick to report on the Tea Parties causing violence. It looks like it takes the Gateway Pundit to report the truth and be “fair and balanced”.
Have you ever seen this at a Tea Party Protest … NEVER!!!
Take a good look at the attack of a person merely taking pictures.
In the end we once again have Democrats and Obama on the wrong side of the major issues of the day. As Powerline states, the voters hate government medicine … they are against Cap & Trade, … how do We the People feel about immigration?
Exit Question: What issues is the Democrat party agree with a majority of Americans these days? Appears to be little to none.
Define misguided. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano going out after a state bill and calling it misguided (I guess those are the Obama talking points) when it is her job to secure the borders to individuals do not get into the country. Might we also add Janet, what did you do in office to secure the border when you were governor of AZ? Nada.

NY Times Just Figuring Out Democrats Could Lose Congress in November Midterms
Who says that the New York Times, the Old Gray Lady is not up on their current affairs? This weekends article, “Democrats’ Long-Held Seats Face G.O.P. Threat”, the NY Times finally figures out that the GOP not only threatens long time Democrat seats, but they also may take over control of the Congress in this November’s midterm elections.
Wow, go figure … Welcome to the party pal, the Tea Party that is. Glad to see they finally coming out of denial and are admitting the inevitable. Because you know LEFT, admission is the first step. The MSM has been demonizing the Tea Parties and their criticisms of government. Has the NY Times finally seen the light?
Representative David R. Obey has won 21 straight races, easily prevailing through wars and economic crises that have spanned presidencies from Nixon’s to Obama’s. Yet the discontent with Washington surging through politics is now threatening not only his seat but also Democratic control of Congress.
Mr. Obey is one of nearly a dozen well-established House Democrats who are bracing for something they rarely face: serious competition. Their predicament is the latest sign of distress for their party and underlines why Republicans are confident of making big gains in November and perhaps even winning back the House.
The fight for the midterm elections is not confined to traditional battlegrounds, where Republicans and Democrats often swap seats every few cycles. In the Senate, Democrats are struggling to hold on to, among others, seats once held by President Obama and Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. Democrats are preparing to lose as many as 30 House seats — including a wave of first-term members — and Republicans have expanded their sights to places where political challenges seldom develop.
Democrats are preparing to lose 30 House seats. Well, so much for that denial I guess. Hardly, the way the mood of the country is, the loses for Democrats probably start at 35 to 40. Across the country Democrats find them self in real trouble. Blue Dog Democrats in the South are either retiring or find them self out of favor with the voters. Republicans and middle of the road independents realize that a vote for a Democrat is a vote for liberal Nancy Pelosi.
The article in Real Clear Politics, “How Bad Could 2010 Really Get For Democrats,” asks the question whether Democrats could lose 70, 80 or 90 seats. The polling data for Democrats is horrific, as Michael Barone calls this the worst polling environment for Democrats “during my 50 years of following politics closely. The Rasmussen Generic Ballot poll has Republicans up by 10%, an almost unheard of advantage. The bad economy, unemployment near 10%, President Obama’s job approval rating declining and the controversial agenda like Obamacare at an all time low, all spell disaster for Democrats. The polling data is so bad, if Republicans don’t will the House it would be considered a loss.
Representative Pete Sessions of Texas, chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee, said he would consider anything short of taking back the House a failure. Republicans say they have not recruited strong candidates in all districts, but both parties agree that Republicans are within reach of capturing the 40 additional seats needed to win control. Republicans also are likely to eat into the Democratic majority in the Senate, though their prospects of taking control remain slim.
For Republicans to take control of the US Senate they would need some races to break right; however, the GOP does stand to make significant gains. I would tend to disagree with the NY Times map of Senate races as many of which they claim are leaning Democrat like PA, are more so leaning Republican. With the mood of the country as such, the economy not looking to turn around by November, the electorate still upset over Obamacare and angered further by the recent news that Obamacare will increase costs, Republicans most likely will capture the toss up states and stand to pick up 8 to 9 Senate seats.
Republicans lead in the NY Times so-called vulnerable Senate seats of MO, NH, KY and OH. In the case of New Hampshire and Kentucky, the GOP candidate has a double digit lead. In Nevada, Pennsylvania, Arkansas, North Dakota, Indiana and Colorado, it is not a matter if Republicans win, but when. Even Barack Obama’s own former seat has a Republican in the lead in the polls. How bad is it for Democrats? Even Barbra Boxer is in the fight for her political life in California.
In the Senate, Republicans also are looking to make major gains, though their hopes of winning control were set back when Tommy Thompson, a former Wisconsin governor, decided against challenging Mr. Feingold, who is seeking a fourth term. Democrats control the Senate by 59 to 41 seats.
To win the majority, Republicans would essentially have to run the table in races across the country: fending off Democratic challenges to four vulnerable Republican seats in Kentucky, Missouri, New Hampshire and Ohio, and capturing 10 seats now held by Democrats. Even in this climate, Republican officials concede that an error-free year is unlikely. Republicans appear to have a shot at winning races in Arkansas, Colorado, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Nevada, North Dakota and Pennsylvania.
They would also have to pick up the seats of decidedly more entrenched — though not unbeatable — incumbents, like Senators Barbara Boxer of California or Patty Murray of Washington.
Remember in November is the battle cry. If one asks the Magic 8 Ball if Democrats will suffer damaging political loses and more than the average number of seats of a first term President … Signs point to Yes.

REMEMBER NOVEMBER … YES WE THE PEOPLE CAN & YES WE WILL … Stop the Obama/Democrat Regime
REMEMBER NOVEMBER
Check out the following VIDEO, “We Will Remember” from Haley Barbour and Republican Governors Association. Talk about a powerful and effective video documenting Obama’s regime and his henchman like Reid and Pelosi’s attempts to change the United States of America into something that no one voted for.
Never has America seen such an assault on their economy, freedom and prosperity. Obama and his band of liberal Democrats looks to transform the United States into a socialist Western European country.
Do not let them … stand up and Remember in November. Make a difference.
We Will Remember from Republican Governors Association on Vimeo.
As the Gateway Pundit states, Remember November so that we can return to the principles of Our Founding Fathers.
Remember November so that we can return America to its founding principles of freedom, personal responsibility and economic liberty. We Remember November so we, our children, and grandchildren can live with the freedoms our founding fathers intended.

Protein Wisdom comments on the LEFT’s reaction. To answer their question, Yes, they are that desperate. How absolutely pathetic Time magazine.
Is the Left really this desperate? Is Scherer just trying to see how far he can dupe the Left into spreading such a ridiculous meme? I would venture the majority of TEA Party participants might vaguely recognize the name “Guy Fawkes” but not immediately recall the history. And Scherer makes his case for the Republican Governors “call to violence” from focusing more on how Fawkes’ story was adapted for the graphic novel turned into movie V for Vendetta — for most TEA Party participants, that itself would be even further from their attention.
The LEFT is so hell-bent on comparing anyone who would dare oppose Obama, the Democrats and their socialist policies as terrorists. It is a tired, lame and self-defeating approach. It is quite a stretch that this video would some how allude to anti-government British terrorist Guy Fawkes. A stretch indeed.
It can explain why independents have run from Obama and the Democrat party. People are sick of being demonized because they are the voice of dissent against Barack Obama. A dissenting public might I add that represents a majority of Americans.
From Red State and I have to agree, it was the first thing I thought of as well when viewing the video, one of the best signs I have seen from Tea Parties …
Awesome. To me, it brings to mind my new favorite quote from a sign at a recent tea party rally:
“I can see November from my house.”

Lance Baxter, Voice in GEICO Ads Fired for Insults Made To Tea Party
Lance Baxter, aka “D.C. Douglas,” who is the voice of the man who informs you how much Geico can save you on car insurance has been fired for insensitive and inflammatory remarks made toward the mentally retarded to Freedomworks.
When will people ever learn, when one is the voice or face of a brand, companies do not want controversy? Just ask Tiger Woods.
Today, Douglas reports he’s been dropped from Geico’s campaign. His dramatic news release is here; he claims to have been motivated by “the recent gay and racial slurs slung by Tea Party members at Congressman Barney Frank and Representative John Lewis during the Health Care Reform Weekend,” and says he’s “open to any attorneys taking on this case pro bono.”
The harassing message can be heard below …
“I just need to know what the percentages of people who are mentally retarded are”
Here are the comments made by the former voice of GEICO.
“I just need to know what the percentages of people who are mentally retarded are,” Baxter says in a voice-mail recording posted on the site, “who work for the organization… and also what your plans are for when one of your members actually kills somebody.”
On a person note, what is up with liberals and their incessant mockery of the mentally challenged? First we had President Obama making fun of those in the Special Olympics and using them as the brunt of his joke. Then there is Obama’s White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel using the term “fu#k—ing retarded” as a negative connotation. Hell the House Democrats even had the “R” word in the Obamacare bill … and now this.
What is up with the LEFT thinking that it is completely okay with making fun of and using a term like retarded in such a negative light? What’s the matter, is making rude comments and making fun of Southerners and those who live in trailer parks become old?
As No Sheeples Here states, all one has to do is visit his web site to see Baxter’s true colors and they don’t appear to be green.
Another Black Conservative nails the case as usual. There is no law suit here, this is a perfect case of Freedom of Speech. Idiots have the opportunity and freedom to say what they will, they then have to deal with the consequences.A company has the right to fire an individual if they do not want them as the voice of their brand. BTW, Freedom of Speech means the government cannot silence you, not a privately owned company.
Of course Douglas is playing the victim card. Sorry buddy, but that doesn’t work. This is an open and shut case of the First Amendment in motion. Here is how it works. The First Amendment allows you to say pretty much what you want. However, the First Amendment does not guarantee that what you say will be well received. Douglas exercised his First Amendment rights by leaving the nasty-gram. Tea Partiers did not appreciate his message and exercised their First Amendment rights by contacting Geico.
Funny, I thought the exact same thing when I first heard this story; however, the folks at NRO, did the same …he should not be unemployed long, the leftist at Progressive Insurance is sure to hire this moonbat.
From the tone and lunacy of the former voice of Geico’s words, “what the percentages of people who are mentally retarded are”, … it appears that once again disparaging the mentally retarded is so easy even a moonbat cave man can do it.
As an aside, thankfully it was not the voice of the lizard that went bye bye.

Barack Obama Interupted By Pro-Gay Hecklers at DNC Fund Raiser … How Come Obama Did not Tell Them They Should say “THANK YOU”
Once again Barack Obama is incensed by the First Amendment and Freedom of Speech …
It would appear that Barack Obama has found more people who critique his job performance as President. This time it was the gay rights portesters who heckled Obama and interrupted him numerous times during his fund raising speech for Barbara Boxer.
A group of gay rights activists disrupted President Obama’s speech at a fundraiser here for Sen. Barbara Boxer Monday night, decrying what they describe as Mr. Obama’s inaction on overturning the military’s ban on gay service members and calling on him to submit repeal language to Congress.
The activists interrupted Mr. Obama in the middle of his remarks to high-value Democratic donors during a reception at the California Science Center, with one protester shouting from the audience, “What about ‘Don’t ask, don’t tell?’”
Mr. Obama yelled back, “We are going to do that.”
Real Clear Politics has the VIDEO.
Just curious President Obama, why didn’t you tell the gay rights protesters to shut up, sit down and say thank you seeing that you were for “don’t ask, don’t tell”? What is the difference between dissent from gay activists and the Tea Party? All dissent is created equal, is it not Barack Obama?
If Obama was consistent, he would have told Gay activist protesters that they amuse him and they should be telling him Thank You. After all, isn’t Obama for gay rights, don’t ask don’t tell and a litany of pro-gay issues? Obama did not ask them to say thank you, but he did get irritated. But pro-gay hecklers were drowned out by the “yes we can” Obama plants.
“When you got an ally like Barbara Boxer and you’ve got an ally like me who are standing for the same thing, then you don’t know exactly why you have to holler because we already hear you.”
Obama stated he was for it and you should be telling those who oppose it not him. Actually Barack, you are the President, the buck stops with you.
Michelle Malkin could not have worded it any better, it’s not about the color of your skin Mr. President, it’s about the thinness of it.
Touchy, touchy, touchy. Guess President Obama couldn’t tell the gay hecklers who interrupted his DNC fund-raising speech to sit down and shut up. Because that would be, you know, intolerant and hateful and all the things he accuses the Tea Party movement of every day.
Instead, the thin-skinned commander-in-chief snarked: “I’m sorry, do you want to come up here?”
Real Presidential … “Barbara and I are for don’t ask, don’t tell … I don’t know why you are hollering”. It’s called Freedom of Speech Mr. President.
