IT'S BOEHNER, 122-109
I'll see if I can run this one down later. Hope it turns out he didn't say it, or even suggest it by implication.
I sent you nothing.
LOL! Be my guest!
Your posts disgrace your screen name.
A deputy to former Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.), Boehner is expected to bring a new style to the leader’s post after pledging during the campaign to involve more members in the legislative process and to offer an olive branch of sorts to House Democrats.

You posted that to me before. I know all about it. It came from a Reagan radio broadcast on Nov.29,1977. Its in the book, "Reagan In His Own Hand". I know, cause I just looked it up. So what.
In 1977, illegal immigration wasn't the problem it is today. Not even close. Reagan didn't support open borders either. Reagan said and I quote: "A nation without borders is not a nation." Reagan did sign into law the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986. It specified prosecution and punishment for employers who hired illegals. If that law was enforced, the IRCA would have turned out to be what it was meant to be, a one time amnesty deal. Instead, the feds lack of enforcement led to a continued lack liberal immigration policy under Bush41, Clinton and now Bush43. Such policy is the reason we have 10-15 million illegals living in the US today.
As a Reagan conservative, I support legal immigration that allows a regulated number of foreigners to become US citizens every year. But they must go through the immigration process first. I do not support illegal immigration, open borders or employers who violate US law when hiring illegal aliens to work for them.
Indeed!
But, he's still hurting from this post...lol.

He was party to it, but the smarmy couple from FL were really taping Newt, who was SOTH.
Its a joke. Look at #588. Lighten up.
"He is against immigration controls."
Then I will not support him.
Now that he has a new position, I think we will see if he has changed any of his views or if he will be a puppet of the White House. I am hoping that he will listen to the voters and not the President.
Yes, I see there are no credits, links or sources provided in the post. I don't know whether FR has any crediting/linking conventions regarding posting third party material, although I suppose it's a practice that we all ought to try to follow.
That aside, and speaking for myself, while I try to remember to give credit/source information with my posts, I have not always provided it. If the material is very brief, a few sentences or a couple of short paragraphs, I know I have done some cut & pasting without crediting/sourcing it. I'm really not trying to make it appear someone else's words are my own; I like to think my own writing is good enough without that.
I think on the really serious more lengthy stuff, I do credit/source it. One problem for me is how in the hell to provide crediting links--guess I'll have to be confined to the HTML Sand Box long enough to master that little skill.
Thanks, cgk.
The term limit on Speakers was repealed - in Jan. 2003 I think.
Oh. Thanks.
So we're left with what?
You are wrong.
You are always wrong, Mike.
Always.
The question was posed as such: "When was the last time a Representative was elected president."
The correct answer was November 8, 1988.
G.H.W. Bush was a Representative, and he was elected on Nov 8, 1988.
You always have a problem with facts--always.
