Democrat governors raise concerns over the lawsuit against Arizona’s immigration law
According to this article, at the governors meeting that was held this weekend in Massachusetts several Democrat governors held a private meeting with White house officials on the issue of the federal challenge to Arizona’s new controversial immigration law.
The theme was the same: this federal challenge comes at a bad time for Democrats who are worried that this lawsuit could backfire on them in the fall elections. This was summed up best by Tennessee Governor Phil Bredesen when he stated, “it is such a toxic subject, such an important time for Democrats.”
He is worried about the political fallout of the lawsuit against Arizona, not about what is right. And I feel that this statement mirrors what many of the Democrats who attended this meeting fear– that this issue could hurt them politically at the polls in November. This issue should hurt the Democrats at the polls and they should be worried because we are coming after them in full force in just a few short months– but I do find it interesting that people like Phil Bredesen look at this through a political prism first and do not look at it from the perspective of what the American people want.
This statement alone is proof enough that Democrats know that the people support Arizona and are opposed to amnesty for illegal aliens, but this statement also suggests that people like Phil Bredesen are in opposition to the American people on this issue. Most Democrats support the lawsuit, and amnesty for illegals, they are not upset about the lawsuit, they are upset with the timing of the lawsuit because they feel it hurts their re-election prospects.
If these people cared about the American people and if the cared about what the American people wanted they wouldn’t be in such a dire predicament. But the fact is they care more about their radical leftist ideology than they care about the American people. This ideology puts them at odds with the vast majority of the American people, so they are upset that the Obama regime has filed a lawsuit against the Arizona law; but they are not upset about the lawsuit, but rather the fact that the lawsuit will come before the elections in November.
We can clearly see where their priorities are, and they are not with the American citizens or the legal aliens in this country. Their priorities are with the illegal aliens, they just wish that this lawsuit hadn’t come in time to expose them. But they have been exposed.













You’ve got it absolutely right. Politicians on the left see the opposition to the DOJ’s suit against Arizona and want no part of it in this election season. They would like to push this down the road until next year, but those in the Obama administration also see the writing a fully realize what changes in Congress are coming—its a rock and a hard place for them. Makes me feel great!

Any time we have Democrats bickering with Democrats it fun to watch. This could get interesting over the next few months.

“Their priorities are with the illegal aliens”
Or, more precisely, their priorities are with their own jobs in positions of power & influence, which they see being aided/preserved by allowing millions more people in and largely dependent on the government. As you say, the problem is in the timing.

Yes, they are only conserned because they wanted this issue to wait until after the election when they would be free to implement their policy without represcussions for a couple of years. Timing is everything!

So, will the rats leave the sinking ship? Or will Obama send some goons to break their kneecaps.

All they really care about is keeping their power, so they may try to distance themselves from him. But he does have a way of making sure they stay in the fold. doesn’t he?
