Yes, it is. I've always been an independent conservative, but of coarse vote with the republican party most of the time because of the whole...lesser of two evils thing.

McCain? Jeb Bush? Romney? C Cristie? Oh my!

Looks like something is wrong with Jeb’s logical process.

And that’s the problem. When these idiots talk about “immigration” they mean allowing, poor and uneducated Mexicans into our country. These are not the type of immigrants we need. There are legitimate shortfalls for the skilled and educated in areas like medicine, engineering and computer science. Not enough US citizens are graduating from college in these areas. But the system only allows a small number of these immigrants with advanced education and skills to come here/stay here in any capacity because of quotas on their country of origin.

Another in the horrible legacy of Ted Kennedy.

GW and his mad spending

You don't think 9/11 had anything to do with that? And now, somehow, 'it's bushes fault' that BHO is mad spending? For example, did Mrs. Bush take vacations to wild places and invite her closest 50+ family/friends to her elaborate vacation places many times, did she arrange a special trip to the Netherlands to root for their home town winning the place where the olympics are held? Did their children want to go on vacation and the SS were their babysitters for them and their friends? And weekly parties at the WH with the best of the best as a social get together with donors and friends. That's just the tip of the iceberg of what mad spending is about. I saw none of that with the Laura and George Bush.

not really...both parties are equally lame, and looking for easy escapes for resolving the over spending problem...because of welfare and union promises for pensions.

abolish welfare, get used to seeing people beg and die in the streets...kick out the illegals and once the starving and dying realize that cutting grass, cleaning houses beats starving the USA will become the country that the original work ethic and family values were based upon.

WELFARE of any kind was not part of the original founding fathers and pioneers plans...

No worky...F%ck you and die...if a community has truly crippled and helpless...well that is the immediate FAMILY’S problem not mine.

Third world countries have it right...if you don’t work, then the family better grow some beans and prepare to beg for rice...and the community will determine if a drunk deserves a hand out.

I live in Nicaragua...and the community knows the truly needy from the drunken lazy looking for a hand out.

Well, Loyala's school of med is now accepting application for undocumented students give them the financial aid they need through a state program.

You know how it is - we need doctors for obamacare to be successful!! Americans need not apply.

both parties are corrupt...just naming figure heads doesn’t make a party better...

bottom line, GW implemented many welfare programs, started the spying and snooping and didn’t fix any existing problems that preceded him...

to say that GW is better than Obama...to be honest Clinton was better than Obama...Jimmy Carter was better than Obama...

GEEE suddenly the “_________ was better than Obama” is a given”...

The “toast” started long long ago...

wake up and realize the country is bankrupt...begging for illiterate illegals to come in and prop up the country for 10-20 more years is just more “can kicking” down the road...

US citizen doctors expect too much money and benefits...plus the US citizen doctor knows that the malpractice insurance is too costly...many immigrant doctors will leave the USA and will go practice in Costa Rica, Nicaragua and Panama, where more and more US citizens are traveling to to get expensive surgery for a FRACTION of the cost...

Medical vacations are becoming very popular here in Nicaragua where I live...most doctors here are US trained and the hospitals here are USA accredited.

The government is more transparent than the one in the USA.

Here you work or die...everyone here works, and the community recognizes who the needy are and we help the needy help themselves by giving them jobs and DIGNITY!

Here a handout is rejected, you may see little kids begging now and then but the elders will chastise them in public and run them off...it is consider shameful to beg or look for handouts.

The poor here raise their own chickens and hogs, raise a few crops, beans and rice, pumpkins, tomatoes, mangoes grow wild here as well as other edible plants...all ranchers contribute to the community by having their livestock trim the grass along the roads and then the fire department will water the animals during the dry seasons...

We have many huge wind turbine farms all over the country, and Nicaragua just voted on having the largest canal to sut across the county that can handle bigger ships than the Panama canal.

Needless to say, Nicaragua has its act together unlike the failing USA that is doomed for racial riots and bankruptcy.

Not many people fleeing Nicaragua to the US...in fact Nicaragua has problems with Guatemalans and Hondurans sneaking in...

I love it here, and the large groups of expats fleeing Costa Rica is amazing...much cheaper to live here on 500.00 a month and living like I did in the USA...with internet, cable, house cleaner, yard care...etc etc

I agree.

the only difference between political parties is the sales veneer

two flavors of the exact same product,

some prefer one flavor other prefer the other

both have the same effect

Evil

That's the way it goes. One candidate after another is worse than the previous. With the mindset, if they accept this, they will accept worse and so it goes. The clinton's wanted socialized medicine but the people rebelled and that was just a short time ago. Now they just pushed it through with 'watcha gunna do about it'? They have files which hillary started - on all politicians. Their careers are more important than our country and they don't want to be ostracized for our country's sake.

YOU can’t change it...

YOU probably can’t aceept that the USA is doomed and forever gone...

YOU are probably to scared to do what thousands before you did when their countries became evil, corrupt and bankrupt...

The Irish, Italians, Germans...etc were smart enough to escape the madness surrounding them that THEY COULD NOT CHANGE...and left for new shores...

US citizens are too lazy or chicken to do JUST that...

Sell everything, pack a suitcase and start over where opportunity exists....

USA forefathers were brave men and women...

The brave no longer

SHIT an earthquake just hit while I type this in San Juan del Sur...be back

How are hospitals there...or in any foreign country...USA accredited? What process qualifies them for that?

Levin was excoriating Jebby over his immigrant speech, on tonight’s show. It was glorious!! He said that we should pass a law forbidding more than two family members being able to be President...at least not sooner than 3 - 4 generations.

Extend that to EVERY FEDERAL OFFICE AND WE HAVE A DEAL!!!
