US Congressman Steve King (R-Iowa) fires back at Dem US Senators Reid & Schumer

From Hot Air: Senators Harry Reid and Chuck Schumer have taken it upon themselves to single out Rep. Steve King on the floor of the Senate for having the courage to stand for We the People against open borders. As we noted yesterday, the party has refused to defend him, and top NRSC aides are involved in an ad campaign against him. Well, when nobody in the party defends you, a man’s got to do it himself. King took to the House floor to respond to them. You can watch the full clip here.

That’s because the National GOP is showing all the signs to selling out the blue collar (and high tech) American workers by joining with the Democrats in granting Amnesty (look, enough with the “pay a fine, pay back taxes” crap – if illegal aliens are not above stealing American SS #s, how the heck are you REALLY gonna do all that and more?  Do you really think we are all that stupid (yes, this goes to my jr. Senator, Kelly Ayotte, too)?  Our total unemployment rate, U3 and U6 is north of 12% – and you want to legalize and allow in MILLIONS more to compete for jobs at the un- and low skilled jobs?

The GOP has the opening to take away the mantle of  “The Party of Big Business” that the Dems have assumed via the logical outcome of an ever increasing move to socialism – Crony Capitalism.  Big breaks, inside contracts, favors, and the ability to shape regulations that help Big Biz lock out the Mom and Pop firms.  However, giving up on “immigration” by helping this Democrat effort to enlarge their base will cause you to lose yours.

Count on it.  In the meantime, many thanks for Steve King for standing up for us – those who live here legally.

I like the absolute determination to call out the tactics:

…and to bring up the dialog that has been, I’ll say, flowing forth on the floor of the US Senate the last few weeks.  As I listen to that dialog and listen to the way they have taken Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals and decided that they are going to implement them and deploy them on the floor of the US Senate, it occurs to me when out of the mouths of people like Senator Schumer and Senator Reid and Senator Durbin comes these allegations. Some times these allegations that name and target the House of Representatives…

They are not your friends and they are not your colleagues when they do this.  So where IS the rest of the GOP in defending you, sir?  Nada from the NRCC, NRSC, or RNC that I could see.

Oh, yeah, asleep on the job at best and turning their backs at worst.  Once again, sticking to Marquis of Queensbury rules as they get picked apart by MMA tactics.  When is the GOP gonna learn?  Heck, for as much time as he’s been here, championing conservative principles (and campaigning for NH GOP Jennifer Horn when she was running for Congress), I would have thought Horn would have said something in his defense (after all, she did go on record defending Chris Christie).  But, I went back through the recent NH GOP Pressers and did a Google and found nothing.

S’all right, Representative, we at the ‘Grok have got your back while you battle with the Alinskyites – you are not alone!
