Senator Kyl Betrays his Constituents, Party, and Country Again, and Again…

Sen. Kyl ran for re-election on a strong pro-American and anti-illegal immigration platform and swore to support these policies and fiscal conservatism.

No sooner was he re-elected than he betrayed his constituents, the GOP, and America to join Kennedy, Bush, McCain, et al. on comprehensive immigration reform (Shamnesty). His election promises were outright lies. source. Also, please see here.

The word in AZ was that Bush had promised him a high judgeship for switching sides. After 2006 Bush was powerless to give Kyle much. So here Kyle is supporting the radical left. In a move to suck up to Obama, Kyl even said that snopes.com proved Obama was a citizen.

That is when I decided Kyl had probably switched sides again and is still looking for that high judgeship position. I don’t know what Obama and the Clintonistas promised Kyl to betray his Party and his country again, but it must have been something.

Following are excerpts from a recent article exposing Kyl’s dishonesty, and support for the anti-American, radical leftists. source.

Mark Twain once said, “I have never let my schooling interfere with my education.” There’s a corollary to that quote in the political context: “Never let policy interfere with your politics.” The corollary has no known author because too many senators claim to have made it up. Last week, however, Senate Republican Whip Jon Kyl claimed at least partial ownership of the quote when he voted in favor of Elena Kagan’s nomination for Solicitor General.

Kagan is just one of a band of radical lawyers President Obama has nominated to lead the Department of Justice. These lawyers are the kind of leftist legal activists Andy McCarthy described as “Yale-educated and ACLU-trained.” Under their leadership, we could witness the most aggressive leftward shift in national legal policy in more than a generation. As Solicitor General, Kagan would easily be one of the most influential of the band.

Kyl knew that Kagan kicked the military off of Harvard’s law school campus during a war because she believed the military’s policy concerning homosexuals was “a profound wrong -- a moral injustice of the first order.” He also knew that when she challenged the military’s policy in the Supreme Court, the Court ruled against her position. Unanimously. Supreme Court watchers believe she is at least a top five contender for any vacancy. (Kyl’s approval should help her in that regard.) How does she view the current Court? She has questioned Justice Thomas’s qualifications and referred to Justice Scalia’s work as “ultimate wrong-headedness.” None of that moved Kyl.

SNIP
… he also voted in favor of Eric Holder’s nomination as Attorney General despite the fact that Holder once recommended the pardon of terrorists. Kyl also irked social conservatives by voting in favor of David Ogden for the role of Deputy Attorney General. Ogden -- now known as the name most likely to show up in the search when you Google “porn” and “lawyer” -- made a career out of advocating against laws regulating even the most offensive forms of obscenity.

Obama’s DOJ nominees, and Kagan in particular, put a spotlight on Kyl to exert the leadership required for the GOP whip, who is also a member of the Judiciary Committee.


Another RINO Worse than the Radical Leftists

Keep an eye on Kyl. There is no reason an avowed conservative such as Kyl would support illegal immigration, Obama’s claim to citizenship, and Obama’s radical leftists appointees unless there was something big in it for Kyl.

What makes a man gain a Senate seat by claiming to be a conservative Republican and then break every campaign promise he ever made? What would make Kyl lie repeatedly and deliberately support those radical leftists trying to change America to a socialist state?

There is evil in the world. None can doubt it when they see what is happening around the world and in the US Senate.

For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Mark 8:36

You're spot on, as usual. Political expediency has become the new narcotic inside the Beltway.

Thanks for the comments Rev. Paul.

Narcotic is a good term. Once a politician like Kyl starts putting self interest before everything else, it is hard to quit and go back to decency and honesty.

Potomac Fever is a real disease and man’s medicine and medical science have no cure. The only cure is through real, sincere repentance and a return to faith in God. Although this is the only cure, I can’t recall any politician ever doing it. Surely there must have been one, but not to my knowledge.

“Never let policy interfere with your politics.”

It's more like ... "never let your constituents interfere with your politics".

Thanks for the comment Kevin. Right, never let constituents, or promises, or right and wrong, or ...
