You think that kind of brutish behavior is justified in our political culture? The Dems certainly show no civility; I'm saddened to see people on the right sink to their level.

[bill1952]

Thanks. You certainly hit the nail right on the head.

Dane is such a PITA that I don't even bother to read his replies. - waste of time.

I just post to get others involved in the thread.

[Dane]

sure Dane, there are millions of soldiers pulling in 104,000 bucks a year. Yep. but that is the figure that McCain just threw out.

Huh where did mccain throw that figure out and #1 I am not busting on our brave soldiers defending this country, as you seem that I am implying.

I'm just pointing out that some garndstanding politicians will use the military to make cheap political points, and anyway why don't the congresscritters(such as tancredo) reduce their pay of $180,000 a year.

Oh I forgot, that would mean tancredo couldn't refinish his basement to make a home movie theater using impure, un-American labor.

Yeah, Yeah I know he didn't hire the illegals, he hired the construction company, but if tom tancredo were to be consistent with his rhetoric he would invite the TV cameras he loves so much to his basement and with a sledgehammer destroy the work done by that impure, un-American labor.

I doubt he will do that.

The construction workers I know are nonunion. As I've told you before, my husband is a nonunion crane operator. You got a problem with American nonunion construction workers, too? I assure you, the nonunion guys I know will be just as insulted by McCaniac's slur against American workers as their union counterparts were.

I've spotted a solid 15 FROBLs since I've started posting.

Some are pretty well disguised, some are blatantly stupid and all are traitors.

[stevio]

Don't you just want to shout that in his face? F'in elitist bastard.

[Dane]

P.S.: you can change your tagline, no one believes Hillary will do anything about the border anymore.

But at one time(a year ago) there were many threads a day about the great immigration savior hillary on FR.

JMO, my tagline shows that some on FR make PT Barnum's quote very true, "there is a sucker born every minute".

[mewzilla]

I wonder if those union activists know where their union dues are going...?

"That teed me off too, however, I've become used to the limousine Liberals in the GOP."

At this point, the GOP can kiss my votes goodbye. Until 2004, I'd voted a straight Republican ticket in every election since Bush I ran for office and won - from school board to national elections. No more. I voted 3rd party in 2004 and I'll keep doing so from now on. I'm not voting for people who want to lower my wages down to 3rd world level.

Whatever, DUmmie troll, that has been here since 3-3-06.

[bill1952]

Does anyone else see the connection to, and a major reason why Rome fell?

The true nail was the hiring of foreign levies into the legions, and the subsequent disenfranchisement of the population. How did Julius Caesar take power?

This jab is so old and tired that it has become a joke. You're becoming a mockery of yourself parroting this thing over and over and over again.

McCain is so freakin ignorant. Lettuce is a huge crop in Arizona. And pickers get paid on production, not hourly. There were 31,615,900 boxes of lettuce harvested last year in Arizona. No way is the wage OR production rate near $50 per hour. Maybe $18-$20. And he keeps on with how we could not hack the back-breaking work. Sounds a lot like what some people said about picking cotton in the south. Certain colors of people just have a genetic trait that makes them a better lettuce picker, and no Americans have that trait. His pandering has both parties hating him. That is quite a feat.

"Don't you just want to shout that in his face? F'in elitist bastard."

Any more, I just say "Screw You" to all politicians. I despise the whole sorry lot of them. I imagine, if we knew the truth, all of them think the same way McCainiac does - Democrat and Republican alike. We're only useful to vote their a**es into office - after that we're supposed to STFU and not make any demands on them. I'm going into the the voting booth this fall and vote against every incumbent on the ballot. I believe we should let a new batch of criminals have a chance to loot the country. This bunch has had their turn.

[Terpfen]

Booing is now brutish?

Whatever spiffy, the point still remains the same, tancredo used(according to his rhetoric) impure, Un-American labor to make a home theater in his basement.

[abigailsmybaby]

I resent that statement. Not all union people are democrats and I'm sick of people assuming they are. The damned unions assume the same thing.

[dynachrome]

"act of signing up changes that status"

Fast tracked to citizenship and deservedly so.

I agree!
