They are all for using "big gubbimint" to save their phoney baloney jobs but that is different.

My mommy's basement is much more comfortable than your daddy's closet! G'night grandpa. Is there something you once did to him or his family, KB, that earned such rabid hate, such sworn enmity, such eternal antipathy from him? I mean, besides disagreeing with him on some political issue, like how much to spend on the NEA?

Oh no! You've found me out! O cursed envy! My pangs of jealously are always inflamed when faced with the adulation and oohing and ahhing that's bleated by annoymous posters over Dubya and that flight suit of his. Pity us regular working stiffs who pay for the Adonis' goodies!

I just think it's ridiculous to suggest the reason the President is proposing to spend $15 million on the NEA is because "Laura wants something to advocate".
If it is true, sounds like something the Clintons would pull.

Well it all happened on November 5th, 1955 when I saw him and his crew get beat up by Calvin Klein right in front of the clock tower.... :>

For now. Once Bush's "employers matching jobs to anyone in the world" comes into being, I'll probably be forced into an exciting career of "interior decorating for the 3rd world hovel." Up and coming industry for this country ya know.

Let him push it, results is what I'm worried about, not the possibilities.
I don't think you appreciate how committed this President is to Amnesty for Illegals. It's a core belief with him. If the Democrats get destroyed while he pushes them further to the left with a proposal that has no chance of getting through Congress, WTF difference does it make?
The way to destroy the Democrats over this is to propose a tough enforcment policy against Illegals that will cut deeply into Seniors, Moderates, Independents, Blacks, and Women. Offer an Illegal Alien plan that actually contrasts significantly with that of the Democrats. You want a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate? Get tough on Illegals while the Democrats are pushing Amnesty. This President won't do that, and a huge opportunity will have been squandered.

If y'all want a illegal alien amnesty so bad, what donchall talk 'bout a tax amnesty first. Then we'll believe all your hand-wringin' and a-cryin' 'bout them po' scofflaw employers who got rooked by them crafty Messicans with their phoney ID and had to pay a dadburn FINE over it!!!

Really?? You think so?? I should e-mail the White House and see if I can get a gig there! After all, if some inexperienced unqualified poly sci grad can do that and end up with the job of birthing the Iraqi stock market, then things ARE looking up!

'bout a tax amnesty first What is that?

It's my sense that conditions are quite ripe for a tough enforcement policy. I've talked with "moderate" Democrats who are as disgusted with the illegal amnesty proposal as I am.

Take ur pic
OK, but then I'm off this NEA thread.

Take the Reagan Amnesty Pop Quiz! I need to do some research and add a new column for the Clinton Amnesties. I'm fairly certain all of the answers would be yes for him, as well, except that he only Amnestied a bit over a million Illegals.

Obviously you're just interested in throwing out unsubstantiated insults.
Have a nice day.

Ok. Here is a non-insult. Before you read this thread were you a Bush voter in 2004? If yes, after reading this thread, are you a Bush voter in 2004?
