I'll have your pollen counts next,

He didn’t answer..he just made a canned statement.

Tancredo: on fire against McCain’s bill.

English is our language—holds us together.

McCain responds: muchas gracias.

MY FRIENDS again—I hate that—I am not your friend McQueeq.

Ron Paul would win in the Dem debates LOL

[Jet Jaguar]

Dang. I must be a about 12 seconds behind in my cable telecast. I apologize to all if my post are way behind.

John McLame delivereing a punch line would never get a dish washer’s job in the Borscht Belt!

Borders! Language! Culture!

Tancredo exposed McQueeg. McQueeg does mucho malo espanol.

We kill over one million preborn babies each year, and they ask about healthcare.

Ironic.

Mucho loco in la cabasa.

I give McCain credit for acknowledging the green card holders in the military (like my cousin who was born in the Philippines.)

Well the comment about the President Bush was a bit much.

It was awkward, I'll agree. He wanted to make the point that No Child Left Behind and Prescription Drugs were worthless pieces of legislation and might've been able to accomplish that without the swipe at Bush and Rove.

Like it or not, a lot of this is packaging. I guess with Tancredo is WYSIWYG (for better or worse).

Tancredo isn't as polished as some of them (read Mitt Romney!), but I think what we see is largely for the better with Tancredo. ;-)

No you didn’t Paul Kucinich and Sheehan...

Projectile barf warning.....LOL

[Loyal Buckeye]

Yep. Romney started out really well, but then got caught up in his underwear.

He appears to be really bright; you can see it in his eyes.

Might be fair — I haven’t seen the debate yet. I know that the Reagan Library debate with Chris Matthews was a joke, thanks mainly to having too many, and too flaky, liberal questions.

[Shortstop7]

I’ll bet Tancredo would like to smack McCain!

[SE Mom]

As long as it wasn’t Garp (and the world according to) ;)

“Why are people on the left so obsessed about health care?” rjp2005

“Because ill people are victims of evil corporations, and the left see’s it as a voting block.” RatsDawg

The real reason is ‘fairness’. It became apparent to me during the debate on HillaryCare that the only thing the left cared about on healthcare was that it was ‘fair’. No one should have any more or any less than anyone else. This point can be generalized. Any system, healthcare or other, must provide equal results. Otherwise it is ‘unfair’ and must be opposed by the left. This is why they opposed Bush’s social security reform. It provided better but unequal results. Hence it was unfair and must be defeated.

Yes, I know a lot about Kursk.. you should read Krivosheev treaste on the Soviet battles in WWII, he gives a lot of credit to the UK and Americans bombing to cut off the German supply lines weakening them through both lack of ammunition during some important battles (like Oryol) which opened the door for the Soviets to start their offense.

President Bush gave most of them instant citizenship a few years ago.
