Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer accused President Obama of wanting undocumented immigrants to illegally vote for him in a radio interview yesterday. Speaking with 550-KFYI, Brewer slammed the Obama administration’s decision to cut the state out of a federal immigration program on the same day the Supreme Court upheld a key provision of Arizona’s landmark immigration law.

All the threads are coming loose; their long-cultivated wingnut "fringe" is now the core of the party, their inability to win elections without committing fraud are becoming obvious, and their activists-posing-as-politicians are openly admitting that their goal is not to help the American people, but to hinder them in order to damage the other party.

Keep on punching, and then start kicking once they hit the mat.

Because, of course, the DemocRAT party owes any electoral victory to illegal voting via ACORN-provided fake names, even though Bush's US Attorneys couldn't find evidence for it, and were mass-fired for not prosecuting anyway (the maladministration wanted the headlines, who cares what came after).


Meanwhile, back in the land of the thinking... hasn't illegal immigration dropped off under Obama? I recall that statistic from somewhere.

It was the economic downturn. People came here for the jobs. When the jobs dried up, the people stopped coming. No walls, no guns, no drones, no border patrols necessary.

Now it's promoting illegal immigration to get illegal votes.

In a state where the secretary of state is birther-curious.

Can we build the wall they want along the Arizona border? I mean, the WHOLE Arizona border.
