ROUND EM'UP,THROW EM'OUT!!!

Scott Rasmussen points to these striking results:
Barack Obama said yesterday that "instead of worrying whether immigrants can learn English," Americans "need to make sure your child can speak Spanish." A national telephone survey conducted last month by Rasmussen Reports found that U.S. voters overwhelmingly disagree with the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee.
Eighty-three percent (83%) place a higher priority on encouraging immigrants to speak English...
... A reader noted this is among the pieces of information that voters in Ohio, Pennsylvania and MIchigan need to hear before they make their decision in November.

“Eighty-three percent (83%) place a higher priority on encouraging immigrants to speak English... yet the politicians can’t seem t grasp this simple point.”
And everyone keeps voting in the two party’s that are not listening.
Case in point: I am involved in a Home Based Business and my business partner is Domincan....so obviously, he speaks Spanish. We also have an MD that speaks great Spanish in our upline. The Mexican people in our downline are complaining that neither of them speak 'MEXICAN' Spanish! Can you believe it?????
I just shake my head and wonder what is next....... :o
With comments this dumb already he may not even make it to the convention.”
The thing is, he makes dumb comments like this almost daily, yet “they” don’t care or seem to notice. Lots of koolaid been served out there, for quite some time. Still...he just may majorly f**k up yet. I haven’t given up hope.
“Most immigrants are not stupid - they come here because of a free economy, rule of law, and a stable and unified culture. The places they left don’t have those things, and they don’t want those qualities in the USA destroyed — although some of our own Americans are doing their damnedest to do so.”
Put down the crack pipe. This illegal third world tidal wave is bringing a culture far different than ours. The wholesale corruption and crime that is committed and tolerated is something we Americans have never seen before.
Obama needs to run for office in Europe. That’s where his heart is. That’s where his socialist ideas fit best.”
Faith - you’re exactly right, he intends to turn us into a European “model”. The ironic thing is - more and more of Europe is now leaning our way, revamping much of their system into a more conservative, western one (because theirs have failed, not worked!)
It doesn't really do much but it makes me feel better
Obama is actually worse than McCain on the issue of illegal immigration.
b. hussein obama is MUCH, MUCH, MUCH worse than McCain, on all counts - remember that November 4th.
ROUND EM'UP,THROW EM'OUT!!!
What’s McCain’s position on English first?”
Interesting you ask, because there was a bill on the Senate floor awhile back about making English our official language, and JS McCain voted FOR it.
And here’s the other amusing thing about his latest asinine speech on Americans needing to learn spanish - A) he cited primarily Europeans (not hispanics) for being multilingual when they come here, and B) he used the example of the most foreign language Americans can say is “Merci Beaucoup”.
Now......I thought he was talking about learning Spanish - not French. Duh. Oh, but I forgot, HE can’t speak Spanish, either.
then why is Juan dedicating an entire campaign website en espanol, mi amigo?”
Because he NEEDS that significant voting bloc. Why is BHO trying to court the evangelicals? Same reason.
It’s about winning - that’s politics with high stakes. If you’re not in it to win it, then why bother? McCain better be as single-minded, driven and focused as BHO.
about 83% of the immigrants I bump into prefer to speak English, even if they speak Spanish amongst themselves.
Yet McCain dodged the vote last year on the EEOC budget bill that had English Only lawsuit blocking legislation embedded in it to protect U.S. employers requiring English Only in their workplace from being sued by the EEOC using EEOC funds. Just as the primaries were kicking into gear. How convenient.
In it to win it at any cost? Including turning the nation into a socialized 3rd world s*^thole? No thanks. It will happen in any event with these two, but not with my vote. McCain can go to hell.
