an even better one ...
“... John Marshall has made his decision; now let him enforce it.” - Andrew Jackson.
This is the salient point. Marshall was an SC justice. Congress is congress. Neither of them enforce the law. That is the domain of the President. The reason we are having the problems we are, is because our past presidents have refused to enforce the law.
We do NOT need new laws, we simply need a president with the backbone to enforce the laws that are presently on the books. Newts first point is ... Secure the Borders. Why so many are going balistic on him is baffling ... that is the first step ANY candidate would need to do. I have heard strawman arguements from many on here that for whatever reason, they dont think he would ... OK, if you are not going to believe what he says, then why should we believe any OTHER candidate if they say the same thing. If you refuse to believe him no matter what ... well, then no sense listening to you because I will give the same latitude to you and your candidate.
Rather than seeing all the Newt haters say how much they hate him, I would really like one of them to come off thier soapbox and tell me which candidate has proposed ANYTHING better. If you want to sway the arguement, show us (with a link preferably, so we can read THIER words, not yours) and debate methods of solving the problem.
When it comes right down to it, nobody can do that because no candidate has given a plan with as much detail as Newt has. So, we are arguing about a proposed plan versus the hopes and wishes of FR members, not what thier preferred candidate would actually do. I am sorry, but unless YOUR candidate is willing to put in writing how they will solve the problem, you are just guessing anyway.
As are you FRiend, guessing that is. As are all of us (everyone here at FR). Guessing is about all, We the People (the citizens), have left except prayer. That hope and change, left a huge hole in my heart and pocket. If I have to believe in a politician I may as well, simply pray and forget about voting. Good Luck, FRiend. Good Luck to us all!
FRiend, I’m at a bit of a loss here. Who do you mean by “Your candidate’’ exactly? Do you mean me? If so, I haven’t endorsed anybody yet. I’m not too sure about Newt, he’s hit the right notes on some things but this latest statement about illegals and a kind of amnesty , quite frankly I’m not in favor of it.Nor have I ever said we need new immigration laws, we need to enforce the ones already on the books ILLEGAL is ILLEGAL! What part of that doesn’t anyone, including Newt not understand? Enforce the damn law as it is. And as a point of fact, the president doesn’t enforce the law, Congress does. Read the Constitution.
