Absolutely! It's all about rat/needy-cant-fend- for themselves-ever voter groups.

[freema]

Really, Peach, thank you. Murtha was positively salivating this morning.

Pantano absolutely bitch slaps Murtha with his letter.

[snugs]

I can see where you are coming from but if they are granted citizenship rather than just guest worker you are stuck with them should in the fullness of time be found that they are not what they were thought to be.

Very great checks would be needed and then you could still end up that they are citizens but they hold more allegiance to the country they have come from and their culture than yours.

I see problems on both scores and citizenship surely would give them more power.

[snugs]

Take care hope to catch you on the dose later. Always please to see that palm tree.

[don-o]

Can we paste in the letter here? I know a lot of Freepers do not subscribe to the Compost but I do and can paste it in.

[Morgan in Denver]

Thank you.

[W-Girl]

Sensenbrenner ....makes sense !!

Hagel & Frist ......are sellouts ...2008 wanna bees that will go no where !!

Sensenbrenner in 2008 !!

[Peach]

You're welcome, freema.

From that link:

"Members of the U.S. military serving in Iraq need more than Mr. Murtha's pseudo-sympathy. They need leaders to stand with them even in the hardest of times. Let the courts decide if these Marines are guilty. They haven't even been charged with a crime yet, so it is premature to presume their guilt -- unless that presumption is tied to a political motive."

He nailed Murtha in that last sentence.

[Morgan in Denver]

Thanks Tom Guy. Rush has grown more than other hosts over the past few years. He seesm to be doing more and better research these days into issues.

[Peach]

I think that the Washington Post only permits excerpts to do be posted here.

But if you click on the link, the entire letter is detailed and you don't need a subscription to read my link.

If I'm wrong, feel free to copy and paste the letter in its entirety here.

[maica]

Bush knew!

[rodguy911]

I have been following this story and have read several links, none of which made much sense at all. This is the only post I have seen yet that does make sense. Great job Fishtalk.

[Morgan in Denver]

He's someplace. Not sure where. He wrote a couple of books too if I'm not mistaken. He may be from the USSR but he got rich in America.

[don-o]

I know there is the separation of powers thing which I am just about holding onto by the skin of my teeth which we do not have.

Just off the top of my head - the Constitution does provide immunity from arrest while en route to sessions of Congress, (That's what Paddy Kennedy was vabbling about when he was driving and crashing at 3 in the morning.

It would be interesting to look at the reasons this was thought important.

[snugs]

The whole donations thing confuses me completely. I assume the one good thing that did come out of it was the Swiftboat Vetrans as I would think they would be classed as a 527.

The amount of money to me involved in just a senate or congress campaign is unbelieveable compared to what is spent in Britain on the whole general election campaign.

After all there was a row over the PM wife hairdressing bill

Here are further examples of our election costs which compared to yours to me seem minimal

[Recovering Ex-hippie]

Is anyone watching Murtha? This is unF...g believable. I am so nauseous and enraged that he gets away with this!!

[TomGuy]

Rush has grown more than other hosts over the past few years. He seesm to be doing more and better research these days into issues.

Yes. I used to listen to him. Lost interest because many of his positions were pro 'bigger' business. I was surprised at his stand on the illegals issue, since big business is a major proponent for illegals.

[Perdogg]

John Saunders on ESPN the Sports reporters lambasted the Women's Duke Lax for showing support for the men's team.

He lectured them about sexual assault saying he's a father of two daughters.

Maybe JS should tell his daughters not to grow up being escorts and sleeping with more than one man in the same night.

unbelievable.

He was calling NC State racist 6 weeks ago because they had yet to hire Sidney Lowe the head basketball coach and that State was racist since they had only one african american head coach.

[Recovering Ex-hippie]

I can't believe this....Murtha is just making up stuff..."iraqi's pleaded for their lives inEnglish"

[Bahbah]

It would be interesting to look at the reasons this was thought important.

Apparently, in the wilder early days of our republic, there was some skullduggery going on. Opponents would arrest and detain elected representative to prevent them from voting on various things. Hence, the protections.
