In a measure of just how politically potent illegal immigration has become, the Senate, on a 28-10 vote, replaced a far milder budget amendment it had passed Wednesday. The sweeping provision, if it makes it into law, would toughen or expand rules that bar illegal immigrants from public health care, housing, and higher education benefits.

Don’t fall for this political, election year scam! Even if the House plays politics as well, everyone involved KNOWS the leftist, clown Governor will veto the measure. This is all for SHOW and nothing else.

We will see if MA is as castigated for being “Nazi haters!” as Arizona was.

And the home of Harvard: the phoniest cesspool of arrogance in the pseudo-academic world: Henry Gates, Barack Obama, Teddy Kennedy, Zbigniew Bre, Jenifer Granholm, Elena Kagan, Timothy Leary, Jay Rockefeller, etc. etc.

If one thinks that is over the top, ask one's self, what has Barack Obama, or Elena Kagan ever contributed to the world; a new bridge design? an efficient software interface? an effective vaccine? fast taxi service? authentic furniture reproductions? a xerophytic grass seed variety? a comfortable coffee bistro? ? ?

The sorriest human beings need to manipulate the most productive to feed their own self identity. Thus George Soros et al.

How obvious is it?

If the vote numbers are correct, Patrick’s veto could be overridden.

Why is that these headlines always leave out the “illegal” part?
