How Illegal Immigrants are Bankrupting and Disenfranchising the American Middle and Working Classes
While I cannot foresee myself voting against Pres. Bush in 2004, I am seriously considering not voting for any presidential candidate.
LOL!
Same here. That's why I'm considering withholding my vote for President next year. Giving these gutys blind support will just result in us getting kicked in the teeth, again and again. I won't vote against Bush, but I might not vote for him.
And I love that tag -- but then, you already knew that!
LOL!
Need an architect? Only an AA architect for supporters.
Need an engineer? Ditto.
In other words, if less than the best is good enough for the rest of us, the AA-supporters should put their dollars, selves, and families where their mouths are and commit to using mediocrities.
But these elitists demand nothing but the best, don't they? This is hypocrisy shouted out loud, but nobody notices. Let's notice, and bring upon them the logical outcome of their stated preferences.

Neither side is calling this an affirmative action fight. O'Brien said the group doesn't oppose affirmative action, as defined by using extra measures to recruit underrepresented minorities. The words "affirmative action" are not even contained in the ballot proposal.
Is a citizens' movement for a ban on AA being hijacked by a stealth AA supporter?
