Is this good news for Shadegg?
A ink-stained smooch from Republic’s columnist E. J. Montini, extolling Congressman John Shadegg’s “bold and brave’ stance on illegal immigration, could cause his reliable conservative base to rethink their commitment to the CD3 Republican.
One thing for sure, during this election year, no one could accuse the congressman of political expediency.

Dear Congressman Shadegg,
I used to respect you. Then you got on the amnesty/pathway to _____/guest worker bandwagon.
Now you won’t have my donations. You won’t have my voice supporting you in the Fall or online.
But most of all, you won’t have my vote. I will leave your ballot line blank rather than support your type of appeasement.

Why, with the recent smorgasbord of initiatives recently floated to restore sanity to our border situation, does the good Congressman come out in support of this liberal blather in support of illegal profiteer’s rights? What a joke! Congressman, does it bother you just a little bit that the bill strictly covers “Mexican labor?” Canadians and Guatemalans you do not qualify because of your race and country of origin! Congressman Shadegg literally endorses racism. Wow! Try to emulate Congressman Shadegg’s actions in your own business and watch how fast you get hauled off to federal prison!

Shadegg is acting in concert with his mentor Jon Kyl and his seatmate, Señor Juan McCain.
The hell with the citizens who have consistently supported him and who are tired of the invasion of their own country. George Bush is providing millions of our tax dollars to Mexico to secure their border with Central America , but we can’t do the same here? There is something very wrong with this picture.
Maybe we Republicans shouldn’t have been so gleeful when Shadegg decided to get back in this race. Where does he differ from Democrat Bob Lord? I went to Lord’s site, and I don’t see a scintilla of difference on this issue.

Obviously Shadegg wasn’t kidding when he said he wanted out of office.

Have you forgotten who elected you, Mr. Shadegg? I thought it was American citizens.
Those seeking to immigrate legally wait for long periods of time to do things correctly, and you and your clones want to give preferential treatment to those who have no regard for our laws? You can configure this any way you’d like, but this is shameful behavior from someone we have previously supported.

I see I need to change my ‘handle’ to Fooled Three Times:
First George W. Bush snookered me. Then our twin Jonny senators, McKyl. Now you, John Shadegg? This is a true disappointment. I carried your petitions, gave your campaign financial contributions and solicited votes on your behalf. Now, you’re not only selling me out, but also my children. What’s going on here?

Fooled twice: It’s called globalism. It’s the North American Union. It’s pandering for Hispanic votes. It’s a sellout. Take your pick.

Fooled Twice:
Have you notice they are ALL named John or Jon? Could that have something to do with us getting the Royal Flush treatment?

I’m sure the phrase “Endorsed by E.J. Montini” won’t appear on any Shadegg ads or posters.
