Is 9/11 an Issue?

President Bush talks about his record, and Democrats demand that he shut up.

September 11, 2001, marked the worst foreign attack on American soil since Pearl Harbor--the bloodiest ever on the American mainland. It's certainly been the defining event of George W. Bush's Presidency. But according to Democrats and their media echo chamber, it now shouldn't be a campaign issue.

OBL is an heir of the house of saud.

I have never seen anyone so willfully stupid in my life. Geeze.

[nopardons]

Far more than enough...including ballot tampering.

[Texasforever]

I hope you are right but IMHO it is not going to be anything like a landslide. Bush is going to have to fight like hell.

[nopardons]

OBL is NOT a member, not even a 10th cousin, three times removed, of the Holuse of Saud, let alone a prince!

What is your source for that info?

[nopardons]

I have, but he's a very close second.

His family immigrated to SA from South Yemen. They are not a part of the royal family. TNP is without a doubt the most ignorant poster I have encountered on the Middle East.

How many criminal aliens do you want in your neighborhood? Your hospital? Your jail? Your school? Your yard?

Are you a citizen?

Are you ever more socially appropriate?

[Texasforever]

How many criminal aliens do you want in your neighborhood? Your hospital? Your jail? Your school? Your yard?

Only enough to mow my lawn, wash my car, and cook a good meal. Get lost.

Patience and a second Bush term are what are needed.

That's what Mexico's Presidente Fox says...

[SevenDaysInMay]

You must have a bug up your butt or you don't like me.

Do you like these tens of millions of foreign criminals clogging our daily lives and breaking our taxing jurisdictions?

Are you too far away from the swarms of parasitic criminal aliens to care?

Do you not know enough to care?

[nopardons]

Yes, I know.

Okay, if you specify the Middle East,` then I'll agree. But, if you REALLY want to see a mordant idiot,who has absolutely NO knowledge of basic anything, I'll ping you to another thread. :-)

Is this the Republican or Democratic reelection rally chant? Or are both beltway parties using it this year?

You admit employing people that are in the our country illegally, and you tell the other poster to get lost?

Texas cow pie talk.

[Texasforever]

Do you not know enough to care?

I know enough to know that the people trying to kill us do not speak Spanish. I also know someone that has bigger issues than illegal aliens on his mind.

[Texasforever]

Joe, you really don't want to get into the middle of this.

[Joe Hadenuf]

I also know someone that has bigger issues than illegal aliens on his mind.

Yeah, we heard, you want cheap illegal labor to mow your lawn, wash your car, and cook your meals.

I don't know if anyone has a link to a thread but I'm sure many will remember shortly before the first anniversary of 911 when there was a handbook handed to all NY state teachers by their union that instructed to play down any rememberances of the attacks due to sensitivity considerations. In a similar vein, my local college's newspaper also requested that any memorial service/remembrance should be very low-key so as to not intimidate any foreign nationals, especially in any form of a rally that praised our brave military personnel. I wrote a letter that said that therefore the college should not allow any "peace rallies" to be held because that may intimidate any student that is member of or a relative to any military, fire or police organisation or just simply believes in our country's right to defend herself. Needless to say they didn't publish my letter.

[Texasforever]

Hell yes Joe. So what? Do you want the job?

[Joe Hadenuf]

Hell yes Joe. So what?

So what? You employ illegals to feed you, and take care of your own house and you say so what? Man, the illegals been feeding you to many Texas cow pies. Quit eating that sh*t Tex!

[MEG33]

You are confusing federal and state.The Patriot act has nothing to do with being stopped and asked for license and insurance.The young people are misinformed.

That's what Mexico's Presidente Fox says...

I understand the outrage about the thought of Mexicans flooding the US, and I agree that it is outrageous to have a steady stream of new welfare recipients (and often a significant criminal contingent), but (I'm ducking as I type this), if there is any good to be found in this . . .

Lots of Mexicans who come here illegally looking for work and money would like nothing better than to make a few bucks and go home (they prefer Mexico!)- but they can't risk going home - so, under the Bush plan, we will have an intitial influx and then over time it will stabilize in a way that will be better than it is today - Mexico would improve and fewer people would have reason to leave.

Then again, economics is not my strength, so I don't know what impact it would have on us to have that kind of money leave the country.
