For 2004, Bush Has Strength in the White Male Numbers

WASHINGTON — President Bush's overwhelming strength among white men looms as a central obstacle between Democrats and the White House as 2004 approaches.

In an election season heavily shaped by terrorism and national security, several recent polls suggest Bush could dominate white male voters as thoroughly as Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush did during their three successive presidential victories in the 1980s.

White men compose just under 40% of the electorate, with white women just over 40%, and minorities composing the rest.

George Bush Sr. actually had to raise or taxes before his approval ratings took a nose-dive. The same will be true of Jr. and his amnesty, Jorge.

No, Georgie, your claim that the illegals pay sales tax has just been rather thoroughly crippled.
It seems you have run out of bolts, and are now reduced to strict ad-hominem.
That's usually a tacit admission of defeat.
Are you done? Or do you have any facts to contribute?

[King Prout]

Historically speaking, population pressure is the primary cause of this form of invasion.
There are other options besides military occupation, but they are so unsavory that I doubt they can be discussed publicly.

[King Prout]

being correct affords me the luxury of humour.

Illegal aliens don't pay any net income tax (they can claim dependents still in Mexico), they receive huge EARNED INCOME TAX CREDIT CHECKS, their kids cost us $7,000 or more to educate every year, they don't pay their emergency room bills and they collect Food Stamps, Rental Assistance and sometimes Welfare at the same time.

Well, that is just plain wrong. I don't agree with illegals coming here to be parasites on our economy. In a general sense.

Those who are able to contribute or are here looking for opportunity to advance should be allowed to. If they happen to get sick when they are here, we should be decent enough to help them. And if we don't we should fear God removing His blessing from this great nation.

The point is the American born freeloaders have a Constitutional right to be here, if they were born to other American citizens or legal residents of the USA. The illegal alien freeloaders don't.

You've been trying to claim that illegal aliens pay their own way in this country and that that's justification for letting them stay.

They don't even come close to paying their own way.

They are a huge, net drain on our economy. Ask your accountants about the EARNED INCOME TAX CREDIT and then come back and tell us what they said, pollito.

Good! This white, Catholic woman girl is voting for Bush. Again.

As is this Jewish girl, and happily so!

"...we cannot deport the American born..."

Oh, yes we can. A baby born to a transient, illegal alien, temporary worker, etc. in the USA is not a citizen of the USA. The legal precedent is there. It's being ignored.

Good deal. I get so tired of hearing about the "Catholic vote" going to democrats --- not true nowadays. I think you know the feeling. :)

[Jorge]

No, Georgie, your claim that the illegals pay sales tax has just been rather thoroughly crippled.

It has?

Show me where an illegal immigrant can walk into a store and NOT pay sales tax on a DVD player by claiming they are not legal citizens?

You can't. Your argument is totally laughable.

It seems you have run out of bolts, and are now reduced to strict ad-hominem. That's usually a tacit admission of defeat. Are you done? Or do you have any facts to contribute?

ROFL! Read the above one more time.

[Penner]

I don't believe this $27 B number.

Living here and witnessing the negative impact of illegal immigration on a daily basis, I believe it.

I bet you American born criminals, the elderly, the disabled and other dependants cost us far more than illegal immigrants.

Including the American-born dependents of illegal aliens, maybe.

The illegal aliens are paying sales taxes with dollars they stole from the U.S. Taxpayers, "duh".

[Jorge]

George Bush Sr. actually had to raise or taxes before his approval ratings took a nose-dive. The same will be true of Jr. and his amnesty, Jorge.

You don't know this. The two are totally unrelated.

You sound like the Dem Bush haters hoping Iraq will turn into a disaster or the economy will crash.

Go back to DU.

That illustration has some rough edges, but it has potential. I like it.

[Jorge]

The point is the American born freeloaders have a Constitutional right to be here, if they were born to other American citizens or legal residents of the USA. The illegal alien freeloaders don't.

So what? Where does this support your claim that working, contributing tax paying illegals are so much more of drain on or threat to society than natural born Americans?

[4Freedom]

So, did you read

They Will Deport Themselves

or are you guys all going to continue to insist that there's no way to get the illegals to go home by themselves?

[Jorge]

So, in your mind, these illegals are basically millionares.

If that was the case they wouldn't be the drain on social services you people claim.
Nice try.

[4Freedom]

Illegals don't pay any net income or any other kind of a tax.

They don't have to be more of a drain on our economy than some legal American citizens to be tossed out on their ears.

They're illegal, damn it.
