Conservatives hate talking about the Bush Tax Cuts, considering that they completely failed at what they were designed to do.
The fiscal reality that conservatives are completely ignoring is that these tax cuts will be disastrous to the country, as they have been since they were enacted.
As an exit observation here, it's readily apparent that Chris Wallace's producers told him that he needed to do a bit of "concern trolling" and not challenge John Kyl too much. After all, he clearly let him blubber on and completely dodge the question while filibustering about peripheral issues.

One Sided
And we are to believe Kyl because......
Some conservatives are using this clip as a "smoking gun" of sorts in order to distort Obama's immigration reform plans.
The main reason that we should be skeptical of Kyl's claims is that he's set this up in a way where it can't be independently verified. If in fact there was even a one-on-one meeting with the President in the Oval Office, the only person that can refute Kyl's claim is Obama. And do you really expect any Republican to believe him if he says that Kyl isn't being truthful?
Every time a conservative complains about the possibility of amnesty for any illegal immigrants, stating that it is somehow dangerous to the country, I'm reminded of the fact that Conservative Jesus Ronald Reagan offered amnesty to upwards of 4 millions people with the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986. You don't hear them speak of that at all.
Another aspect of Obama's approach to boarder security as it relates to this specious claim that I think douses more cold water on Kyl is the fact that at least 1200 troops are going to be deployed to the boarder. Why would the President use that resource if he's not interested in protecting the boarder?
