“It is up to the Republicans to control spending and provide checks and balances for the Democratic Parties reckless policies.”
Nothing personal, but you and the people who vote for the lesser of two weevils are drinking the cool-aid on the above hope.
“I’m beginning to like Fournier, a man whom I’ve always detested. Perhaps he has a small kernel of journalistic reason still alive somewhere way deep down inside that Liberal hack shell?”
you too appear to be taking in a fair share of the cool-aid.
At this point in time, it is OK for Mr. Fournier, A Hillery supported to dump on Obama. The greater need of the PARTY requires some sacrifices, don’t you know?
Larri, Larri, Larri?
“Regardless, impeachment wont happen unless both Democrats and the media demand it. Republicans wont be going out on a limb with this.”
Rinos, the lesser of the Weevils would never upset the applecart. They, after all, are feasting on the votes of their, what did Gruber call us - Stupid voters.
What is needed, is an new apple orchard (New limited G’ment party) that will take many years to infest with Rino style Weevils
As far as I’m concerned, Whorealdo has long since overstayed HIS visa! I know, I know, he’s Puerto Rican, so therefore a citizen, but can we PLEASE trade him for an unnamed Mexican or Honduran?
Exactly its very doable.Many things seen to be too hard to do are not. And, legitimally have been done in the past such as deporting illegals.
Below is a clip of how Ike got rid of a million illegals in the early 50’s. We can do it agaon. All it takes is resolve. Most self deported.

.........Then on June 17, 1954, what was called “Operation Wetback” began. Because political resistance was lower in California and Arizona, the roundup of aliens began there. Some 750 agents swept northward through agricultural areas with a goal of 1,000 apprehensions a day. By the end of July, over 50,000 aliens were caught in the two states. Another 488,000, fearing arrest, had fled the country.
By mid-July, the crackdown extended northward into Utah, Nevada, and Idaho, and eastward to Texas.
By September, 80,000 had been taken into custody in Texas, and an estimated 500,000 to 700,000 illegals had left the Lone Star State voluntarily.
Unlike today, Mexicans caught in the roundup were not simply released at the border, where they could easily reenter the US. To discourage their return, Swing arranged for buses and trains to take many aliens deep within Mexico before being set free.
The major corporations feel no loyalty to the US. Their main concerns are their shareholders and the bottom line. They can relocate their corporate headquarters to anywhere they want and many have. They have already relocated their factories and means of production elsewhere.
For example, many of them support illegal immigrants because of the cheap labor pool, no doubt. But make them legal and IN THE SYSTEM OF USA WELFARE, and suddenly the motivation to work for much lower wages, and the fear factor of being turned into INS or just not having any legal recourse (such as lawsuits, strikes, etc.) is gone. Corporate America either pays them a wage better than welfare benefits or they WONT FIND ENOUGH WORKERS!
We have a surplus of workers. Wages are going down, not up. We have 25 million immigrants in the workforce, 8 million of them illegal. Wages will continue to decline thru legal immigration. The Senate Gang of 8 bill triples legal immigration to 33 million over the next decade and doubles the annual guest worker visas from 640,000 to 1.4 million a year. Many of these new guest workers will be skilled. Obama's executive amnesty will add 500,000 new tech worker visas--a sop to Zuckerberg and Gates. American college graduates with their big loans are getting screwed.
And as more of the illegal aliens become legal, another crop of illegal aliens will take their place since they will be more attractive to businesses. Also, the unions will benefit from increased membership increasing their political clout.
Legal immigrants use welfare to a greater degree than the native born. Those immigrants will use welfare or take jobs pushing more native born on to the welfare rolls.
Sure, the rest of us gets screwed in the meantime, having now to compete openly with all these fresh workers, but it might not go down like the COC folks think.
We are decimating a whole generation of Americans. The millennials are getting screwed. Some frightening factoids:
#1 The current savings rate for Millennials is negative 2 percent. Yes, you read that correctly. Not only arent Millennials saving any money, they are actually spending a good bit more than they are earning every month.
#2 A survey conducted earlier this year found that 47 percent of all Millennials are using at least half of their paychecks to pay off debt.
#3 For U.S. households that are headed up by someone under the age of 40, average wealth is still about 30 percent below where it was back in 2007.
#4 In 2005, the homeownership rate for U.S. households headed up by someone under the age of 35 was approximately 43 percent. Today, it is sitting at about 36 percent.
#5 One recent survey discovered that an astounding 31.1 percent of all U.S. adults in the 18 to 34-year-old age bracket are currently living with their parents.
#6 In 2013, the ratio of what men in the 18 to 29-year-old age bracket were earning compared to what the general population was earning reached an all-time low.
#7 Back in the year 2000, 80 percent of all men in their late twenties had a full-time job. Today, only 65 percent do.
#8 In 2012, one study found that U.S. families that have a head of household that is under the age of 30 have a poverty rate of 37 percent.
#9In 1994, less than half of all college graduates left school with student loan debt. Today, it is over 70 percent.
#10 At this point, student loan debt has hit a grand total of 1.2 trillion dollars in the United States. That number has grown by about 84 percent just since 2008.
#11 Since 2005, student loan debt burdens have absolutely exploded while salaries for young college graduates have actually declined The problem developing is that earnings and debt arent moving in the same direction. From 2005 to 2012, average student loan debt has jumped 35%, adjusting for inflation, while the median salary has actually dropped by 2.2%.
Pedro will now say, Screw you Senor boss! You pay me $20 an hour or I no work. Welfare be bery, bery good to me! No more Immigracion bus, either, stupeed Gringoes!
And who do you think pays for Pedro on welfare? The corporations are privatizing the profits and socializing the costs. The consumer and the American taxpayer foots the bill.
You are an amusing little man, do you ever come out from under your rock?
Well Hell, there's yer damn "guest workers" While under armed guard, they can do the jobs Americans don't want to do (pick produce, clean toilets etc) and work their way back towards freedom...
In Mexico!
What, did I post to you or something?
Glad Cruz got in a mention of the SLN skit.
Yes, and then you'll need to motivate the new imaginary voting bloc of more than 1/2 the voters to elect it into the majority.
You’re on to a winning formula with ALL get behind Cruz.
This means “Say No!” to Huckster, Sanatorium, Dr. “Gun Control” and any other make believe but “unelectable” “Conservative”.
WITH CRUZ THEY LOSE!
Yeah. How much of what is presented on FNC is actually "news" these days? Just curious. I haven't watched that joke of a channel for quite a while now.
Of course Warren is not an extremist, that title only goes to Conservatives. She makes Stalin blush and as always is worth tens of millions by scamming the system.
Funny how they are all using polls that were completely off last week and most likely does not reflect voters. Rove and Co really want to forget what happened two weeks ago.
Yes, at some point last century, they became the lobbying machine for the Department of Corporate Welfare.
Try out the NFIB.
What do you have against penguins? You racist.
My co-worker was collecting signatures for that ballot measure. She is a barking moonbat leftist, a lesbian, but active in OFIR. (Oregonians for immigration reform)
Anti illegal immigration is a 70% issue nationwide.
