Durbin loved the speach as did Kennedy and Reid. I think they post here under various screen names.
You do? I thought he was spending like a drunken sailor. Now his budget proposal is "austere"? What are the "real" priorities?
Unfortunately, yours in an excellent synopsis of last night's hollow speech. With Teddy Kennedy behind something, you just know you don't want to be in front or under it!
"I didn't hear a word from Bush about sending Mexico the bill for the damage."
I read here on FR that he did sue the U.S. Government for expenses doled out to house and feed (medical, ER visits, etc.) illegals by the state of Texas when he was Governor.
I say clear out the jails and ship every one back to Mexico ASAP.
Just wanted to know what you thought the "real priorities" were.
It was not the most important issue in 1978, 1985, 1994, 1997 or 2003 but it's suddenly the only thing we should focus on.
Yes it was. We just weren't paying attention. The traitors in Washington were busy selling our country out from underneath us and we were too complacent to notice.
Borked got "borked"...I lifted the term from the movie "40 year old Virgin."
Nevertheless, this POTUS has dealt with real issues with character and class, perhaps not to the extent some would have wanted...but he is working, as opposed to his predecessor.
Clinton had the immigration problem as well...what did he do; not a darn thing.
Just tired of people beating up this POTUS...some shoud remember what a bad POTUS really is.
OK, thanks. I just wanted you to state it, instead of imply it.
It's probably that everyone is hoping and praying he does it right and redeems himself , 'cuz he's screwed up almost everything else.
The dems and socialists orchestrated the demonstrations to split the base. Hotheads are taking the bait just like they did on the port issue.
So many have howled about their #1 priority being the control of the borders, then worrying about illegals already here, but they always find room to jump on the Dim/MSM bandwagon when it comes to carping about what's not happening to their liking. It reminds me of the folks that got mad at Jesus for healing on the Sabbath and mad at the cripple that Jesus healed and told to, "pick up his mat and walk" for working on the Sabbath by actually picking up his mat and walking. They were so full of their self-righteousness that they failed to see the real miracle.
It seems that many folks here suffer the same malady - the President finally tries to do something about the borders and people howl that it's not enough, or too little too late (even though we haven't had an attack due to the borders being so "open"), or that it will cost money (I guess they want it all to happen magically). All you who want "all or nothing" should remember that the Dims will accept "just enough" in order to wrest power from the repub majority and the Whie House and then we'll be out of the pan and back into the fire as they cut and run from Iraq, kiss Iran's nuclear butt, cancel all tax cuts and start raising taxes on everything, and show us what real out-of-control spending looks like. Try to remember that the Dims make noises about balancing the budget, but despite the Prez spending far too much on many social programs, their biggest howls are about the "draconian cuts and underfunding" of these same projects.
I hope for my sake you don't all get what you seem to be asking for.
Many, like me, believe that absolute control of the borders and the weeding out of the aliens among us is part and parcel of the war against terror.
Countries not in control of their borders and their alien population won't be in business very long.
No, I do not but many do.
"Cracking down" on the illegal workforce will probably hurt "small business" the most which is something I'm sure Bush didn't want to do back when the economy was in a post 9/11 recession (or whatever we call it). Sure there are huge companies taking advantage too but many companies usually sub-contract out a lot of the work that is staffed by illegals to the smaller companies (and don't ask questions). Finding a way to put the responsibility of guaranteeing citizenship on the business community (especially the small business community) is going to be challenging and expensive. Don't get me wrong. I believe it should be done but there are always unintended consequences and costs.
Wonderful display devolve!
Thanks for the ping.
