(If what I just wrote makes you sad or angry,
Andy Card will downplay stuff like this....
HELLO
Is this thing on....
This is a winning issue I can't imagine why any politician would be afraid of it.Whichever political party gets on this first is going to be a big winner.
I searched but didn't come up with anything so posted the same under a different title. You beat me by a minute or two. I will start getting duplicate post remarks soon.
I read the same question and thought, WTH...support WHAT leadership? Surely THEY were not talking about Tom Tancredo!
More posts the better, when someone whines about ME POSTED FIRST, This gives more people a chance to catch either.
...I can't imagine why any politician would be afraid of it...
They have a Socialist Community of North America to build.
We former citizens are only here to pay for it all.
Which is why we must before Hillary does.
I too was thinking just those same thoughts!
They'll read it and ignore it.
Hitlery's already been making noises to that effect, probably testing the water.If anything can get the hildebeast elected it'll be comming out hard against illegals and a few more years of the Republicans under Bush's leadership doing nothing.
