Has anyone made any demands for Senator Harry Reid to step down for his remarks about the General? I believe this whole
immigration is a ploy by the Democrats to take heat off there anti war stance.

[FreeReign]

Duncan Hunter doesn’t like the move to trade border security for amnesty by saying you’ll build the fence with money that comes from the illegals in return for their amnesty. Border security, he says, is the obligation of the government, period.

Yes, I think Duncan Hunter has that right.

[rodguy911]

Exactly Rose, it’s just more BDS and “the war is bad all the time” by those that would rather spend the nation’s money buying votes.

[patriotspride]

“Hunt does seem flakey on some issues I used to like him but he is too inconsistant for my liking”

My opinion is the same. At first a stand up guy. Now a partisan hack............

[PerConPat]

Juan Williams proves again that he has no concept of the Immigration Bill. He says it is not amnesty

Juan's bread and butter is his role as the contrarian on this panel. FNS should really just drop him; he adds nothing. However, there is apparently some ratings advantage in being able to show closeups of Brit wincing and shaking his head while Williams goes on a tirade about treating immigrants unfairly in a discussion pertaining to illegal immigration or otherwise demonstrating his superficiality . It's wearing thin for me.

[rodguy911]

Wow!!I can’t think of much you missed, what a speech. Great job EC, Great job!!

[rodguy911]

Oh that’s O.K. Norm. I heard that most are o.k., only aobut 25% are criminals.

[Norman Arbuthnot]

So you just call them all criminals and give no answer. Nice dodge. Fact is many industries need those workers and Crock Radio wants to ignore that fact.

No, I did NOT call them ALL criminals. YOU stated that ALL 12 MILLION illegals are "workers". READ what I wrote below:

What makes you think ALL 12 million are "workers"? How many are criminals, both in jail and out? How many just live off of our very generous welfare state? There are 100, 000 illegals in LA County alone that receive some form of welfare.

Do all the illegals really come here for work? Do you really think the U.S. would have 12 million illegals if it did not offer all sorts of freebies from the government: free healthcare (which has been abused by illegals to the point that many hospitals in the Southwest have had to close), free schools, various forms of welfare etc.??

Thanks rodguy...

I am in awe of the folks who put it all together in only 2 weeks time....

we had over 300 people show up in Atlanta— which is what they had in DC!!!

AMERICANS ROCK!

;-)

[rodguy911]

That’s great EC,nothing like standing up for one’s country and it’s laws and few do it like you!
Truth is if we are not abiding by the law of the land now what evidence is there that new laws will be obeyed?

[anita]

Poor Harry Reid. A few days after Fox News ran Lizzie Palmer's salute, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., proclaimed that the "surge" in Iraq had failed.

In the two months since Reid's previous declaration that America has lost the war,more than 12 million people have viewed "Remember Me" on YouTube.

[MNJohnnie]

Have I told you recently, how much I love you?

[snugs]

Its too contrived for me. When you see Juan on the Factor other shows yes his views are left wing but they are not just talking points. My view is he is told to behave this way on FNS.

[saveliberty]

Although we share a fondness for a certain retired Lt. Colonel.

[MNJohnnie]

Seems Harry still hasn’t figured out why he has a 19% approval rating.

[saveliberty]

I didn’t do anything :-) It’s just too good.

[donna]

The alternative is Spanish language radio.

[Bahbah]

a certain retired Lt. Colonel.

Ah, yes, the admirable Col. North has a permanent place in my heart.

[rodguy911]

I’ll tell you what else is just too good, New Yorker 77 put up a thread yesterday that has a list of 20 reasons why the immigration bill is no good.
If you type in “are you calling right now” in the find section at the top it will come right up.
It’s a few posts down, you can’t miss it, must read for everyone.
The link is so long I couldn’t type it all correctly.

[rodguy911]

I got it after all:
