LIZ CHENEY. Take a good look...this is the face of GOP elitism!

TheTownCrier has been on a long break, enjoying the pleasures and duties of life.  But something has to be said as I watch my fellow 'conservatives' get all twitterpatted over the latest, great GOP hope...well, keep hoping, my friends!

You are doing it again!!! Searching desperately for someone to save the Republican party and all of us from Socialist Hell, and grasping at NON conservative straws!  Remember Marco Rubio and all that vetting that NONE of you bothered to do before you promoted him as the face of AMNESTY???? 

HOW soon you forget! Or did you just ignore all the facts in the first place?  Either way...STOP it or you give us another candidate out of the Kennedy wing of the Republican party.  NO MORE BUSHES, NO MORE CHENEYS,!!
They were the SAME administration! Birds of a feather, and all that!
WAKE UP!  They are not conservatives!

Headline:  In Wyoming, a Cheney Run Worries G.O.P.

Here is a sample of some of the comments from the blind faithful!

"Liz Cheney - daughter of Dick - taking on the GOPelite"

"I for one will do anything that will bring Liz Cheney to power!!!"

"Liz takes on Obummer by speaking the truth and calling a radical a radical and the GOP(elite) is scared to death of her .... why the GOP(e) has lost my support & that of many other conservatives tired of holding their noses to vote "the lesser of two evils". This won't work with me any more."

WHAT the HELL country have you so called 'conservatives' been living in for the last 3 decades??? WAKE UP!  Do you LIKE being a part of the STUPID party?

The real irony here, is the folks making these undeserving comments HATE this amnesty push!  Yet, they'll adore some hack to prominence who supports amnesty and worse!

The men in Liz's life.........

DICK CHENEY

Liz is Dick Cheney's daughter...THAT alone should make you run the other way!  What good did he EVER do the republican party or this country for that matter?
Her father and mother and her lesbian sister Mary all hold liberal social views that should worry you social conservatives.  Mary once said, 'I think you'd be hard-pressed to find any daylight at all between Liz's and my father's views."
Cesar Conda,  of current Amnesty fame, was Dick Cheney's domestic policy advisor. 

GEORGE W. BUSH

Liz was appointed by Pres. G.W. Bush  in 2002 to the position of Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs for 2 years then took a break to help with the re-election of her dad.
In 2005, she returned to the US State Department and was appointed the Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of State For Near Eastern Affairs and Coordinator for Broader Middle East and North Africa Initiatives.  In this position, Cheney supported and coordinated U.S. multilateral efforts to promote and support democracy, expanded education and economic opportunities in the Middle East and Northern Africa.   Cheney oversaw the launch of two semi-independent foundations for those areas, the Fund of the Future (worth $100 million), to provide capital for small businesses and the Foundation of the Future (worth $55 million), to promote freedom of the press and democracy.  In that capacity, Cheney endorsed a draft of a new Iraqi constitution.

The lady flat knows how to spend our money in places that hate us and I recall that many of us were unhappy with parts of that Iraqi constitution which instituted Islam as a state religion and called universal health care a 'right' among other questionable 'rules' and 'rights' .

Liz held an important 2nd position at State Dept. She is typical of the people retired Rep. Duncan Hunter called "Knuckleheads at the department of State" during the time she served.  This is also the same time when Bush's  State Dept. allowed 'refugees' like the tens of thousands of Somali's  and others generously brought to our country,  who now cause so many problems.

 One has only to remember the recent history  of  those lovely Chechan Boston bombing brother refugees, Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev to know how many bad apples the State Department  ushered in while Liz Cheney was close to the helm.

Cheney signed on in June 2007 to serve as one of three national co-chairs for Fred Thompson's 2008 presidential campaign. Another co-chair was Spencer Abraham, who once hired Cesar Conda as his chief of staff as he now holds the same position for Marco Rubio.   After Thompson dropped out of the race, Cheney announced that she would work for Mitt Romney's presidential campaign, serving as a senior foreign policy advisor.   Cesar Conda also worked as an advisor for Romney in his last run and was a mentor to Paul Ryan.

PHILIP PERRY.....WHO??

That is Mrs. Philip Perry.   Liz Cheney is the mother of his five children, who had been accused of corruption and cronyism and said a few years ago, "The term 'revolving door' implies people going in and out of government in order to obtain monetary gain. The reason people go into government is to serve their country. It's not appropriate to describe that as a 'revolving door.'"

.....right......

Phil Perry is the poster boy for K street/whitehouse cronyism and revolvingdoorism!

In 2007, TheTownCrier wrote several articles detailing some of the questionable 'work' Perry headed at the Justice Dept.  One is titled, "Exposing the Dept. of Job Security (who is Philip Perry?)".

In his position as the General Counsel for the DHS, appointed by his friend Michael Chertoff, Perry supervised over 1,500 lawyers, and advised Secretary Chertoff, who had been a close associate at their lobbying/lawyer firm and the White House on the Department's legal and policy issues.   Issues of influence for Perry included, but were not limited to, "the transit of people and cargo, comprehensive immigration reform, and critical infrastructure such as chemical plants."

BUSH/McCain/Kennedy COMPREHENSIVE IMMIGRATION REFORM! AMNESTY! HELLO!

'Transit of people and cargo'....NO ONE in the Bush DOJ EVER did anything to enforce those laws!

 "Perry’s questionable behavior extends far beyond nepotism and delaying investigations. He’s also a pro at jumping back and forth between government and the private sector, doing what he can to benefit industry along the way. After Bush became president, Perry moved from being a junior partner at the DC law firm Latham & Watkins to holding the position of Associate-Attorney General for the Department of Justice. He then moved to the Office of Management and Budget as General Counsel, where he had a hand in drafting plans for DHS. In 2003, he returned to Latham & Watkins as a member of their Homeland Security practice group and lobbied on behalf of Lockheed Martin and other companies."

One article on Mr. Perry you should read is, 'Dick Cheney’s Dangerous Son-in-Law, Philip Perry and the politics of chemical security'  by Art Levine.

It details nefarious dealings when Perry was general counsel of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), another powerful Bush/Cheney appointment.

The point here is that the OMB is supposed to be impartial, a 'guide' to the administration, not to make policy decisions at the VP's behest!   When you're running an administration that isn't corrupt you don't appoint a relative as a watchdog! HELLO!

[snip](A colleague, Michael Chertoff, would later head the Department of Homeland Security.) In 2000, when Cheney became George W. Bush’s running mate, Perry found himself in the inner circle of advisers surrounding his father-in-law. Friends describe him as intellectually brilliant and extremely discreet. Fittingly, in the vice president’s debate-prep sessions, Perry played the role of moderator. The Republican political consultant Mary Matalin, who worked with him in the mock debates, described Perry to Legal Times as “very, very, very strategic.”

When the election of 2000 was resolved, Perry took on the title of “policy coordinator” for the Bush-Cheney presidential transition. By early 2001, he had been appointed as the acting associate attorney general at the Department of Justice, the department’s third-ranking official. It was a dramatic promotion.

While Perry mostly stayed out of the news, the summer brought some unwelcome attention. The Department of Justice, it was reported, would stop pursuing a breakup of Microsoft. Since Perry oversaw the antitrust division, and Cheney had previously met with Microsoft’s CEO, some critics smelled a fix.[snip]

In January 2007, during the uproar over the imprisonment of Ramos and Compean, two border agents and the false statements made by the Justice Dept., Perry announced his intention to step down as general counsel of the Department of Homeland Security and was rumored to be returning to Latham & Watkins. Elizabeth Cheney, Perry’s wife, had given birth to the couple’s fifth child in July 2006. 

We will likely never know how deeply Perry was buried in the pathetic prosecution and imprisonment of these two border agents for doing their jobs.   We do know of other problems  he handled for DHS that point directly to him.

CESAR CONDA

Pro Amnesty, anti enforcement open border HACK.  Pal of all things Grover Norquist.  

The guy who pulls Marco Rubio's strings.  Mentor to Paul Ryan.   Advisor to Mitt Romney.  Domestic policy advisor to Dick Cheney.  FRIEND of Liz. 

Florida Elections: The Crist to Rubio Switch (A former Dick Cheney assistant changes his mind)  National Review ^ | 02/09/2010 | by Cesar Conda

[snip]  Charlie Crist, if elected, would make a fine U.S. senator, and would probably be a reliable Republican vote on most issues. But I think Marco Rubio is more likely to be a leader when it comes to putting foward innovative conservative policy reforms and alternatives to America's problems.
I've rounded up a group of friends, including Rep. Paul Ryan, Mary Matalin, Liz Cheney, ..... among others, to host an evening reception in my offices (901 7th Street, N.W., Washington) for Rubio after his speech before CPAC on Thursday, February 18. I'd invite all Corner readers to come over to meet Marco, who I believe will be Florida's next U.S. Senator.
— Cesar Conda was assistant for domestic policy to Vice President Dick Cheney and senior economic policy adviser to the 2008 Mitt Romney for President Campaign.

QUESTION:   How does a player like Conda get to be a lowly state rep's chief of staff...WHO hired WHO????

According to an article today, " Since leaving public office, Liz co-founded a non-profit called Keep America Safe which advocates for Republican ideals. She currently serves as the chairwoman of the conservative group."

Interestingly, we're unable to access their website, keepamericasafe.com and others just won't load.  She and Wm. Kristol...you know that great 'conservative' Icon (yeah, I'm a comedian) are joined in that endeavor, whatever it stands for. 

 This may explain  it, "As of the early 2013, KAS appeared to be largely inactive. Although its website provided links to outside news sources covering current events, materials on the group’s resource pages—such as links to materials by neoconservative writers like Elliott Abramsand reports from the Center for Security Policy—all dated back several years. The group reported just over $200,000 in contributions in 2011, compared to over $535,000 in 2010"

Somewhere, sometime, Liz may have said she is not for 'amnesty'....so did Bush, Conda and Rubio & Ryan!   Actually, she's avoiding the subject and there just isn't anything to quote her on.  But you can know someone by the company they keep, and Liz is hanging out with ALL the wrong men.

It will be interesting to find out the powers that be behind a Liz campaign for office when there is a conservative GOP Senator already in place...Enzi....who isn't an amnesty freak......this all has the smell of a Grover Norquist operation.
_______________

UPDATE:  Well, look here....who is singing the praises of Liz Cheney? The same rag that loves John McCain.....BEWARE...the media is picking our candidates...the ones THEY want! 

 
http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/right-turn/wp/2013/07/08/liz-cheney-for-senate/

Some really interesting comments at the link above....Wyoming citizens aren't impressed with Liz the carpetbagger!

MARK LEVIN!! SHAME ON YOU.  Yesterday you endorsed Liz Cheney.  You've been on a rampage for a week about the elitist ROTTEN insider GOP and ya endorse this woman withouth bothering to vet her.  SHE is another Marco Rubio! Yeah, I know, you think me and others are NOBODY bloggers...well, I've known you for 14 years and I haven't been wrong yet! WAKE THE HELL UP before you push another traitor on us! YOU are better than that!
TTC     7/19/13 

UPDATE #2:  TOLD YOU SO!  Norquist and his pal  Cesar Conda are behind trying to oust Enzi and smear Rand Paul for supporting him!

[snip]Paul’s campaign was half-unsurprised, half-amused. They’d seen this coming a week before, when former Cheney policy adviser Cesar Conda emailed some fellow neoconservatives and asked them to “help us get the word out about Rand Paul’s troubling and dangerous views on foreign policy.”* Fun on its own, but by weighing in personally, Cheney had confirmed a white-knuckle panic among their least favorite Republicans..... Conda, who tried to organize that late anti-Paul surge in 2010, is now chief of staff to Sen. Marco Rubio. (He chose not to comment for this story.)"

Illegal Alien Pleads Guilty to Gang Rape in Michigan

Author: Dave Gibson

Illegal Alien Pleads Guilty to Gang Rape in Michigan 

On Monday, Felipe Lopez-Velasquez, 17, pleaded guilty to first-degree sexual conduct and robbery in a Kent County courtroom for a gang rape which occurred on September 10.



Lopez-Velasquez, along with an accomplice repeatedly raped a 21-year-old Grand Valley University student at a Grand Rapids bus stop.
The pair grabbed the victim as she was exiting a bus in a Southside neighborhood.
WOOD-TV reported:
“ In a sworn affidavit, a Grand Rapids detective said that a composite sketch led to tips that identified Lopez-Velasquez. The detective said that the 21-year-old victim and a witness picked Lopez-Velasquez out of a police lineup.
A prosecutor recommended that a judge sentence Felipe Lopez-Velasquez, who was 16 at the time of the incident, to six years and nine months to 11 years and three months in prison at the minimum. He was charged as an adult.
Lopez-Velasquez is scheduled to be sentenced on August 15.
His accomplice, Marco Vazquez, 14, was also charged as an adult, and has already pleaded guilty to one count of first-degree sexual assault and robbery. He is currently serving a five-year sentence.

White House's Fast And Furious Claims Another Victim
Investor's Business Daily | July 8, 2013 | IBD EDITORIALS


Scandal: The administration's gun-running fiasco claims the life of a Mexican police chief, revealing that the weapons have made it into the hands of drug cartels deep inside Mexico.
It's been lost in the litany of Obama scandals, but Fast and Furious, like Benghazi, is one that has produced a body count, in this case one that's still rising as the White House and Department of Justice continue to restrict and hinder access to related documents. Attorney General Eric Holder remains in contempt of Congress for his role in the ongoing cover-up.
President Obama's contempt for the rule of law hit a new low when, on the eve of a vote to hold the AG in contempt of Congress, he granted Holder's 11th-hour request to hide sought-after documents on Operation Fast and Furious under the cover of executive privilege.
One internal document obtained by the Los Angeles Times shows how deadly Fast and Furious was and continues to be with the death Luis Lucio Rosales Astorga, police chief in the city of Hostotipaquillo. He was shot to death Jan. 29 when gunmen intercepted his patrol car and opened fire. A bodyguard was also killed.
A semi-automatic WASR rifle, the firearm that killed the chief, was traced back to the Lone Wolf Trading Company, a gun store in Glendale, Ariz. The federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) allowed illegal purchasers to buy the firearms at the Lone Wolf store in the Phoenix suburb and other gun shops in the Southwest.

The Daily Caller ^ | 5/7/13 | Alex Pappas 

Senator Cruz!  You need to remind Reid of his own words a few years ago before he got bought off by big gambling money!

[snip]
“Reid, now an impassioned champion of amnesty for 20 million illegal aliens in America, once called illegal aliens “free loaders and scam artists” which he proposed to deal with in his Immigration Stabilization Act in the United States Senate in 1993.” That proposed legislation was introduced to the floor of the US Senate with the following press release, in part, issued by Reid's office on August 5, 1993. "In response to increased terrorism and abuse of social programs by aliens, (I) today introduced the first and only comprehensive immigration reform bill in Congress. Currently, an alien living illegally in the United States often pays no taxes but receives unemployment, welfare, free medical care, and other federal benefits. Recent terrorist acts, including the World Trade Center bombing, have underscored the need to keep violent criminals out of the country."

Musings from TheTownCrier:
I can imagine a backroom filled with politicians, their friends and lobbyists and young upstarts. An old, seasoned legislooter is advising the young one.
The young one says, “I hate those darn republicans!”.
The old guy says, “ Now, Son, There must be one or two things you like about ‘em! Think REAL hard!”
“Well”, the youngster says, “ I kinda hate that we have to pay so damn much in taxes, now that I’m making some money!”
“There ya go, boy! That’s why you got us...to tell us how ya really feel....You just keep preachin’ it...Hell! Sell it! Make some bucks along the way! Congratulations! You are now a CONSERVATIVE!”
And THAT is how a Grover Norquist is born. And many of them. I keep thinking about Norquist and Rove's close association with the College/Young Republicans and their offshoot, the Log Cabin Republicans. There for the picking! And sometimes they find a Marco Rubio.


AND ONE MORE THING! 
Sarah Palin is giving her opinion on the internet tax just passed by the Senate.  In fact, she has an opinion on just about everything...most of the time I agree with her.  But NOT ONE WORD about this 'immigration reform' or the gang of 8.  I've been waiting and watching...ZIP!
WHAT SAY YOU SARAH????   SILENCE IS CONSENT!!!  

Rasmussen poll: Border Security Hawks Aren't Racist, Most Americans Say

Sorry Grover Norquist! Sorry Cesar Conda and your phony little boss Marco Rubio and his gang of 8 henchmen using SPLC talking points against MOST AMERICAN CITIZENS!

[snip]  Immigration hawks worried about appearing racist can breathe a sigh of relief.

Only 11 percent of U.S. voters think people who want to secure the border and prevent illegal immigration are racist, according to a poll released this week by Rasmussen Reports. (See the wording here.)

The number was higher for liberals, with 22 percent saying they thought border security advocates were racist, according to Breitbart, which asked Rassmussenhttp://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/questions/pt_survey_questions/april_2013/questions_immigration_reform_april_1_2_2013 for the crosstab data.

Nine percent of conservatives and 6 percent of moderates said immigration hardliners are racist, according to Breitbart. 

While 67 percent of the 1,000 respondents said they think border security enthusiasts aren't racist, some 22 percent aren't sure.

Rasmussen also reports:   Just 29% Support Immigration Plan Without Tougher Border Control

AND....

Rasmussen Reports, April 19, 2011 
Seventy-seven percent (77%) of Republicans and 63% of voters not affiliated with either major political party oppose automatic U.S. citizenship for children born in this country to illegal immigrants. Democrats are evenly divided on the question.

BUT...the author of this new amnesty, Rubio’s chief of staff, Cesar Conda has called such proposals “offensive.”  His lobbyist buddy in crime, Grover Norquist refers to us all as 'Bitter Enders'


Well,  Gentlemen! YOU are the ones out of touch!  Sadly, you are the ones in power. 

WAKE UP REPUBLICANS! The 'modern' GOP does NOT represent you! It has been infiltrated and taken over.   They have a new imported constituency!

How 'bout it folks, does Rubio speak for YOU???

_______________________________________________________________

History repeats itself, and this time, we are the NATIVES! Who is Cesar Conda?

 A few years ago, I wrote a book, "Jesus Wept" an American Story.  
  The story, in part, was about Cherokee Chief John Ross, a 1/8th  Cherokee blood, white,  blue eyed greedy tyrant.   The more time goes on, the more he reminds me of Barak Obama.   

He was put in power by Major Ridge and some other realistic Cherokees, who thought the tribe, which functioned under a constitutional government,  would fare better in Washington DC if represented by Ross who would be identified more with the white leaders.   And for a time, that seemed to work. Until Ross got the taste of power and wealth and refused to give it up.  Ross was a master at race baiting and class warfare. 

When it was apparent he would be opposed by Ridge's son John,  Ross declared a national emergency over the impending Indian Removal Act, did away with the coming elections and had his political rivals assassinated, including Major Ridge, his son John, the eloquent Elias Boudinot along with some of my ancestors.  For 40 years he ruled the tribe, sometimes in exile in Washington DC, but always comfortably with the tribes treasury.   He bribed enough of the uneducated and class envious Indians to do his bidding and keep him protected. 

Sound familiar??? It should.   

My father used to tell us that the Cherokee tribe didn't need the US Government to destroy it , though they certainly did their part! They were willing and capable of doing that themselves.  In the great production on PBS, "We Shall Remain, Episode 3 'The Trail of Tears', Cherokee actor Wes Study repeated the same conclusion as my father made 50 years ago. 

When the Cherokee were finally forced to march in winter without shelter or provisions to a foreign home, thousands died.  John Ross refused to give up his power and concede there was no way to fight the federal government over removal, insisting the Cherokee stay until they were pushed out at musket point, with no way to survive the impossible journey.  If he had left  months earlier when there were better provisions and weather, as my ancestors chose to do, thousands of lives would have been saved.  He also insisted, since he operated the only store of supplies, that the trips supplies be purchased from him.   Yet, the tribe still believed his lies and followed his lead.  The wagon train of my ancestors, led by John Adair "Jack" Bell,  of 700 people only lost 21 on the trail.   This only further angered Ross, whose own wife died on their journey.

Today, the Democrat party and it's leader, Barak Obama, seem intent on destroying everything we 'natives' have become accustomed to in our way of life... free markets, marriage, family, the 2nd amendment and the right to self preservation. They refuse to enforce many of our laws, promote destruction of our many cultures, refuse to protect our borders and national sovereignty and give us no government representation.

We look to our GOP leaders, just as the Cherokee looked to Ross, and what do we find?  Feckless crybabies like John Boehner and the squishy moderate Mitch McConnell, who prop up the democrats more often than not. 

Then rides in the great 'Tea Party' Hispanic savior, Marco Rubio to 'save us'.  Because he 'looks' more like the opposition.   He 'speaks' the language of the NEW constituency!   He's the GOP's latest token 'trojan horse'.

Who is really behind Marco Rubio, and what do they want?  The Tea Party citizens thought it was them!!!  He talked the talk, and fooled us all.     No, he hasn't been taken over by Obama and the left,  as far as we know. He is part of the enemy within the right.  And for the past 30 years, it is always the same players.  They are lobbyists who our legislators hire to write our legislation because most of our elected officials let them in exchange for campaign dollars.   It is ALWAYS follow the money.

 Even John Ross willingly sacrificed his own people to keep his power and to hold out for more federal dollars for Cherokee lands.  The Cherokee Tribe was destroyed because they were incapable of realizing who their real enemies were.  It appears we are no more enlightened than the 'savages'.  We have no excuse for our ignorance, other than BLIND loyalty to sacred cows who should have been hamburger by now!

Meet Cesar Conda, chief of staff, Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla.,  close associate and fellow amnesty pusher of Grover Norquist,  who last week called all of us who want our borders secured, "Bitter enders",   He might as well have called us 'Savages'.

Here is detailed some of the undermining of immigration law these two have accomplished over 3 decades, including working closely with Stephen Moore of the Cato Institute, Conda  circulated a statement against Prop. 187 of California in the nineties.   The race baiting they pulled on Alan Simpson when he tried to enforce the borders in the 90's was nothing but disgusting.

Conda, an immigration lawyer,  was Vice President Dick Cheney’s chief domestic policy adviser. After leaving there, Conda went to work on the editorial advisory board of the Soros connected publication,   The International Economy Magazine.

Even amnesty pushers on the left like Conda!

[snip] I think Cesar is the right man for the job,” said Frank Sharry, founder and executive director of the pro-immigration reform group America’s Voice. “Rubio is really lucky to have Cesar Conda as his chief of staff.” Conda...has been working on the issue since the early 1990s when he was part of a group of young, libertarian-minded, pro-immigration conservatives. His government experience runs deep: He worked for former Sen. Spencer Abraham, R-Mich., and was an aide to Vice President Dick Cheney. He also spent time in the private sector as a lobbyist and analyst for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and founded the Washington office of a consulting firm called Navigators Global.

Conda was also involved with The National Foundation for American Policy, a Newt Gingrich group.  Don't be fooled, Newt is all about amnesty and has always been!

" Started in 2003, the National Foundation for American Policy (NFAP) is a non-profit, non-partisan organization dedicated to public policy research on trade, immigration, and other issues of national importance. Its Advisory Board members include ....Cesar Conda.... and other prominent individuals."

This statement sums up the Rubio/Conda relationship:

  "The White House’s lawyer-friendly draft shows that it “has outsourced the formation of immigration policy to the American Immigration Lawyers Association,” said Camarota.   Some of the eight senators also employ staffers who are trained immigration lawyers or who have lobbied for the immigration association before. In 2003, for example, Cesar Conda, Rubio’s chief of staff, lobbied the White House on behalf of the lawyers’ association....Given Sen. Rubio’s role in a smear campaign [using SPLC talking points] against pro-enforcement groups,” said Steve Camarota, the research director at the Center for Immigration Studies, “it does raise the question of how serious he is about enforcement.”"

Conda  worked as an advocate for the immigration lawyers’ association.

"As a founding partner of a lobbying firm, Navigators Global, he attended a 2003 meeting in the White House to promote a policy favored by the lawyers’ group, which stands to gain enormously from any law that expands or complicates immigration law.

In the late 1990s, Conda also worked as the legislative director for one-term GOP Sen. Spencer Abraham. In 2000, Abraham lost his Michigan Senate seat after NumbersUSA highlighted Abraham’s role in defeating a bipartisan immigration reform bill that would have curbed legal and illegal immigration.

During that 1996 immigration debate, Abraham opposed an employee-identification plan in the bill that would have required and helped employers reject applicants who were not allowed to legally work in the United States."

Conda had a part in the expensive bank bail outs. 

 "At this lobbying outfit, Cesar Conda is one of the lobbyists on the Citigroup account.
Previously, DC Navigators was one of AIG's go-to firms—until the insurance company halted its lobbying efforts last fall under congressional pressure. AIG, which has received $182 billion from the government, including $40 billion in TARP funds, spent more than $9 million on lobbying in 2008"

Conda was a lobbyist for private prisons who love open borders and government $$$ to incarcerate illegal aliens.

"They also now have a paid lobbyist working in the office of a Republican Senator at the forefront of the immigration debate, in a state with major immigration issues.
Take for example the chief of staff to young Republican superstar Marco Rubio, Cesar Conda.  Conda still maintains ties to a powerful lobbying firm in Florida that has lobbied for the GEO Group.  In fact, he still maintains partial ownership, and was paid between $50,000-$100,000 by the firm after he became Rubio’s chief of staff..  So he’s still being paid by companies like the GEO Group while working as the number-one guy to a US Senator.
So the GEO Group has revenues of nearly $2 billion per year, much of which comes from the federal government as payment for detaining immigrants.  It has spent more than $5 million in lobbying and political contributions in the past 8 years"

Remember when we warned the Tea Party about getting involved with Dick Armey's Freedom works because he has always been pro amnesty??.....

– Cesar Conda is a senior fellow at Freedom Works  and an editorial advisory board member of International Economy Magazine. He is a volunteer policy advisor to the Mitt Romney presidential campaign.

Conda actually states here that the Gang of 8 plan isn't AMNESTY!!  You need no more than that to know you are being CONNED BIG TIME!

Think of it!  illegal aliens vote democrat.  Fact.  They believe it is Obama working for them.  All these GOP open border amnesty purveyors like Conda get no credit for the decades of work they've done on the behalf of foreign nationals.  Instead,  Obama gets all their glory.  Ignorance never changes. And History repeats itself.

Rose Cottage, Plantation of Chief John Ross, Circa 1860, near Tahlequah, Indian Territory
  (Yes, those are African Slaves, owned by Ross)

[snip]After the assassinations in 1839, Ross's opposition refused to recognize Ross as their leader.  The still smoldering wounds and resulting alliances are outlined by an excerpt from a letter written by Stand Watie and John Adair Bell  (my grgruncle) published in the Arkansas Gazette.   It explains why after the murders of the Ridges and Boudinot they refused to address Ross as 'Chief'.  Eight Treaty Party members apologized for signing the treaty in return for amnesty from the Chief.  The assassins were also pardoned by Ross.

     "If Mr. Ross expects us to purchase our lives by swearing to the infamous oath which he put in our mouths, he very much mistakes the blood which runs in our veins.  Sooner let us fall by the hand of the midnight assassin, than have our names loaded with infamy, and handed down to posterity as traitors, who had saved their country from total destruction, by making the best treaty ever made for any Indians! – The historian will do justice to the memories of the fallen.  We will never cause their blood to ride in judgment against us, by casting obloquy on their characters.  Eight of our friends have abandoned us.   Be the matter with them and their God.  We are conscious that we have gained many where we have lost one.  The threatened denunciation still hangs over us.  Well, if the impending vengeance must fall, let it come upon us with clear consciences."
