Jon "Not intended to be a factual statement" Kyl strikes again!

http://tpmdc.talkingpointsmemo.com/2012/06/jon-kyl-immigration-reform-barack-obama-arizona-dream-act-hispanic-vote.php?ref=fpb

The Supreme Court’s ruling Monday against major parts of Arizona’s immigration law highlighted the GOP’s bind on the issue, with Mitt Romney awkwardly equivocating. A leading Arizona Republican sought to ease his party’s troubles by devising a novel claim: that President Obama was to blame for Congress’s failure to pass immigration reform under President Bush.

“I note that in his response to today’s Supreme Court ruling, President Obama called on Congress to pass comprehensive immigration reform. I also note that the bipartisan comprehensive immigration reform bill I helped draft in 2007 was killed — in part — by then-Senator Obama,” Sen. Jon Kyl (AZ), a Republican leadership member, said in a statement.

The problem: Obama voted in favor of Bush’s 2007 immigration legislation, while Kyl joined the filibuster that quashed it.

I'm already drafting an e-mail to the good, but factually challenged, senator. It'll be delivered via a LTTE and demand either a retraction or an explanation for his promoting provably false claims.

The GOP just do the opposite:
Of what they did.
Of what they said.
Of how they voted.
Of anything Obama does or says.

At this point if Pres. Obama called John Kyl's mother a wonderful caring woman,
Kyl would call his own mom a slut and a whore.
What a knee jerk.
