Yes, the fallout can be diverted with spin.

"A body in spin will remain in spin."

I can see how that would deflect that nasty radiation.

Great graphic.

The Great American melting pot is well on it's way to becoming a third world banana republic.

Tell me - what will the President of the United States say about a foreign government setting up shop in the US?

He will say that it is a great step forward in bringing families together while also matching employees to the needs of employeers.

Three words... Die Mexico Die.

This is exactly why I hate Mexico. We as a nation are going to remove our borders and let these people become yet another welfare state. That's it, if this crap goes through I am not paying another dollar in taxes to support some backward country that needs to develop it's own country instead of destroying ours.

10 bucks says that whole De Lome letter was nothing but a ruse to get America to feel secure about Mexico. Ten bucks says Vincente Fox was educated in Russia, just like Clinton. Send your people to America, so that way you can cripple America's government by taxing the system. That's the agenda here. Freeloading Mexicans working in America, shipping money back home so that they can bolster their economy while having their litters of kids here in America on the backs of the American Tax Payer. Thank you Mexico. I hope future generations in America will pay you back in kind you thieving bast--ds.

Do y'all object to Americans living abroad voting absentee in our elections?

With the exceptions of military and foreign service personel, yes.

I oppose all absentee ballots, computer voting, or anything else that involves something besides physically casting a vote on Election Day. I want elections where voters show identification to register, and to cast a ballot.

I want to be rid of voter fraud, and lazy voters who are too inconvenienced to emerge from their life coccoons long enough to exercise their franchise are of no interest to me.

[Sabertooth]

I see no problem at all with that, as long as they don't consider it a civil right *in America* to vote in a Mexican election, and try to force our government to get involved in the process.

You realize that you just gave them an idea for their next demand, right?
