Senators Hear Boos from Own Party Faithful

Robert Novak, a syndicated conservative columnist nicknamed "the Prince of Darkness," writes for the Chicago Sun-Times. In a recent article, Novak reports that two senators - Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and Saxby Chambliss (R-GA) - were subject to boos at their respective state party conventions. The subject triggering the boos was immigration 'reform' as imagined by Ted Kennedy and his accomplices in the Senate and the White House.

Maybe rank-and-file Republicans aren't in favor of amnesty for illegal aliens, ya think? A number of Republican legislators have gotten on the unpopular side of the immigration issue, and will face primary challenges as a result. The only explanation that makes sense is that these senators desperately need the campaign contributions of slaughterhouses and other large-scale employers of illegal aliens.
