That’s former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay on Neil Cavuto today. DeLay, who served in Congress with McCain after 9/11, says the Arizona Senator second-guessed the president every step of the way, and “was constantly trying to undermine the Pentagon”.
He was actually on the show to discuss McCain’s tying of his horrible amnesty plan to troops whose parents may be illegal. In response to criticism for his amnesty for 20 million illegals, McCain said:
I will move on, except to say I will secure the borders, I will secure the borders first. But I’ll tell you this ma’am, I’m not going to call up the soldier that’s fighting in Iraq today, and tell him I’m going to deport his mother. I’m not going to do that, you can do it.
Ace and I guess you’re supposed to be impressed by that. But I have a question, Senator: Are you saying we should give amnesty to 12-20 million people, just so you don’t (do you even make?) the call?
How many soldiers currently serving in Iraq actually have mothers that are going to be deported? And, as Ace asks, couldn’t that particular, and I’m assuming pretty small, issue be solved through legislation?
Or is it just another one of your multiple excuses to keep the Amnesty Train in motion?
Straight Talk.
