No More Bush'es6:00PMJun 17th 2008

When Bush leaves the White House he is going to write a book entitled
"How I Screw*ed the American People".

Nancy from AZ6:10PMJun 17th 2008

I am supporting John McCain,
because he supports a guest worker program, after the boarders are closed.
It is said that there are 15 million illegal people in this country? WOW!
Romney (The economy expert) wants to take these people to the boarder and kick them out.
Just what would happen to the US economy if we have 15,000,000 less workers.
Most of these people work in low-end jobs.
Will we then have to encourage our children to not go to college and become:
Dishwashers,
field workers,
work construction,
hotel room cleaners, etc.?
Living in Arizona I started thinking about what would happen if these people were taken to the boarder and sent home.
In the summer when the heat is 110 how many Americans would be willing to get on a roof of a new house and lay tile?
How many Americans will be willing for minimum wage to go into the fields and pick vegetables, cotton and fruit? How much will I have to pay for produce when all the Mexican workers are again living in Mexico?
How much will a bottle of California wine cost if we had to hire American workers to pick grapes?
I once spoke to the Mexican Man that worked on my lawn and asked him why he came to the US. He said to feed his family – what would you do if your children were hungry?

While there were problems with the immigration bill that failed last year, at least some were brave enough to tackle the issue. While I am all for enforcement of the border, there are many millions (some 20 million possibly) of illegal immigrants in this country. Until both parties deal with that issue, and come up with a guest worker program of some sort, all politicians will do is continue to pander to knee jerk voters so they can keep their lousy jobs.
Both parties are responsible for the problem, now deal with it!

143 Days of Experience
by Cheri Jacobus
May 5, 2008

Just how much United States Senate experience does Barack
Obama have in terms of actual work days? Not much.
From the day he became Senator, to the time he announced he was forming a Presidential committee, he logged 143 days of experience in the Senate.
That's how many days the Senate was actually in session and working.
After 143 days of work experience, Obama believed he was
ready to be Commander In Chief, Leader of the Free World, and fill the
shoes of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, and
Ronald Reagan.
143 days -- I keep leftovers in my refrigerator longer than
that. In contrast, John McCain's 26 years in Congress, 22
years of military service including 1,966 days in captivity as a POW. Now
That’s impressive.

McCain’s real military file is unflattering. To end all the speculation, McCain should authorize the Navy to release all his military record.
In June 2005, seven months after he lost his bid for president, Senator John Kerry signed the 180 waiver, authorizing the release of his complete military service record to the Boston Globe, the Los Angeles Times, and the Associated Press. ** Unlike Kerry, McCain shouldn't wait until after the election to do so. The Navy may claim that it already released McCain's record to the Associated Press on May 7, 2008 in response to the AP's Freedom of Information Act request. But the McCain file the Navy released contained 19 pages -- a two-page overview and 17 pages detailing Awards and Decorations. Each of these 17 pages is stamped with a number. These numbers range from 0069 to 0636. When arranged in ascending order, they precisely track the chronology of McCain's career. It seems reasonable to ask the Navy whether there are at least 636 pages in McCain's file, of which 617 weren't released to the Associated Press.
Some of the unreleased pages in McCain's Navy file may not reflect well upon his qualifications for the presidency. From day one in the Navy, McCain screwed-up again and again, only to be forgiven because his father and grandfather were four-star admirals. McCain's sense of entitlement to privileged treatment bears an eerie resemblance to George W. Bush's.
Despite graduating in the bottom 1 percent of his Annapolis class, McCain was offered the most sought-after Navy assignment -- to become an aircraft carrier pilot. According to military historian John Karaagac, "'the Airdales,' the air wing of the Navy, acted and still do, as if unrivaled atop the naval pyramid. They acted as if they owned, not only the Navy, but the entire swath of blue water on the earth's surface." The most accomplished midshipmen compete furiously for the few carrier pilot openings. After four abysmal academic years at Annapolis distinguished only by his misdeeds and malfeasance, no one with a record resembling McCain's would have been offered such a prized career path. The justification for this and subsequent plum assignments should be documented in McCain's naval file.
McCain's file should also include records and analytic reviews of McCain's subsequent sub-par performances. Here are a few cited in two highly favorable biographies, both titled John McCain, one by Robert Timberg and the other by John Karaagac.
Timberg:
"[A]fter a European fling with the tobacco heiress, John McCain reported to flight school at Pensacola in August 1958.... [H]is performance was below par, at best good enough to get by. He liked flying, but didn't love it. What he loved was the kick-the-tire, start-the-fire, scarf-in-the-wind life of a naval aviator. ...One Saturday morning, as McCain was practicing landings, his engine quit and his plane plunged into Corpus Christi. Knocked unconscious by the impact, he came to as the plane settled to the bottom....McCain was an adequate pilot, but he had no patience for studying dry aviation manuals.... His professional growth, though reasonably steady, had its troubled moments. Flying too low over the Iberian Peninsula, he took out some power lines, which led to a spate of newspaper stories in which he was predictably identified as the son of an admiral.... [In 1965] he flew a trainer solo to Philadelphia for the Army-Navy game. Flying by way of Norfolk, he had just begun his descent over unpopulated tidal terrain when the engine died. 'I've got a flameout,' he radioed. He went through the standard relight procedures three times. At one thousand feet he ejected, landing on the deserted beach moments before the plane slammed into a clump of trees."
Adds Karaagac:
"In his memoir, everything becomes a kind of game of adolescent brinksmanship, how much can one press the limits of the acceptable and elude the powers that be....The [fighter jocks'] ethos of exaggerated, almost aggressive sociability becomes an end in itself and an excuse for license. There is a tendency for people, not simply to believe their own mythology but, indeed, to exaggerate it.... Fighter jocks, like politicians around their campaign contributions, often press the limits of the acceptable. It is a type of mild corruption that takes place in a highly privileged atmosphere, where restraints are loosened and excuses made....McCain gives some hint in his memoirs about where he stood in the hierarchy among carrier flyers. Instead of the sleek and newer Phantoms and Crusaders, McCain flew the dependable Douglas A-4 Skyhawk in an attack, not a fighter squadron. He was thus on the lower end of the flying totem pole."
The genius of McCain's mythmaking is his perceived humility amid perpetual defiance. Having been a rebel without cause, and often a rebel without consequences, McCain apparently was not surprised when his Vietnamese captors went relatively easy on him compared to his fellow POWs. The Vietnamese military secretly and frequently filmed the American POWs to learn their propensities. Col. Pham Van Hoa of the Vietnamese People's Army Film Department was in charge of the filming. Asked recently for his dominant impression of McCain, the now-retired Van Hoa said that McCain "seemed superior to other prisoners." How so? "Superior in attitude towards them."
But when Mark Salter, McCain's closest aide and co-author, was asked by the Arizona New Times about the first McCain memoir, Faith of My Fathers, that he was then working on, Salter said "the book will showcase a humble McCain. When I worked on this book with him, he just kept saying, 'Other guys had it a lot worse. I think they took it easier on me because of who my dad was. . . . When they tied me in ropes, they'd roll my sleeve up to give it a little padding between the rope and my bicep, you know, little things I noticed. The only really hard time I had was when I didn't go home, and then it only lasted a week, and sometimes I felt braver, I felt I could get away with more.'"
Is McCain now getting away with more by hiding his official history and by having his national security adviser inflate McCain's resume with a bogus promotion to admiral humbly declined? If so, McCain may be attempting to hide why the Navy was in fact slow to promote him upwards despite his suffering as a POW and his distinguished naval heritage.
One possible reason: After McCain had returned from Vietnam as a war hero and was physically rehabilitated, he was urged by his medical caretakers and military colleagues never to fly again. But McCain insisted on going up. As Carl Bernstein reported in Vanity Fair, he piloted an ultra-light, single propeller plane -- and crashed another time. His fifth loss of a plane has vanished from public records, but should be a subject of

A.D.9:46PMJun 17th 2008

These republican turkeys are spending 10,000,000 per hour on a stupid war that doesn't mean anything to this countries security. The only link TO THIS WAR is the oil and Bush wiping out Sudam for other reasons than WMD. His spin doctors must think the public will belivev any thing they run up the flag pole...WRONG !!!!! WE DON'T

Bettybb12:37AMJun 18th 2008

It's all for show. They are not really doing anything. Independant polls consistently show 68% or more Americans want deportation. The repubs and the dems are ignoring this.

They passed a bill that cutted the Fence Act. No more double fencing (the type that actually works). They are building the vitual fence even though the manufacturer and the gov admit it does not work.

They are only going after some of the violent criminals here illegally. The still welcome the cheap slave labor for dishonest business.

They are going to have a limited use of E verify.. which does not catch those who have stolen and are using an American's id...and it is only for compsnies with contracts with the fed gov.. and only for new hires.

Get the picture.. say you are doing a lot, but have lost of conditions so you are really doing zero.

I think that Patty Solice Doyle (former Hillary campaign manager) was a MOLE and she may have sabotaged Hillarys campaign, by deliberately giving bad advice and NOT doing everything in her power to win caucuses. She was most likely a spy and I am very angry about this. I wonder if my suspicion is right?

Dee2:57AMJun 18th 2008

Think about it...

The OPEC minister may look you in the eye and say,
"We are at war with you infidels and have been since
the embargo in the 1970s. You are so arrogant you
haven't even recognized it. You have more missiles,
bombs, and technology; so we are fighting with the
best weapon we have and extracting on a net basis
about $700 billion a year out of your economy. We will
destroy you! Death to the infidels!

While I am here I would like to thank you for the
following: Not developing your 250-300 year supply of oil
shale and tar sands. we know if you did this, it
would create thousands of jobs for U.S. citizens,
expand your engineering capabilities, and keep the
wealth in the U.S. instead of sending it to us to
finance our war against you infidels.

Thanks for limiting Defense Dept. purchases of
oil sands from your neighbors to the north. We love
it when you confuse your allies.

Thanks for over regulating every segment of your
economy and thus delaying, by decades, the
development of alternate fuel technologies.

Thanks for limiting drilling off your coasts, in
Alaska, and anywhere there is an insect, bird, fish, or
plant that might be inconvenienced. Better that your
people suffer. Glad to see our lobbying efforts have
been so effective.

Corn based Ethanol. Praise Allah for this sham
program! Perhaps you will destroy yourself from the
inside with these types of policies. This is a gift
from Allah, praise his name! We never would have
thought of this one! This is better than when you
pay your farmers NOT TO GROW FOOD. Have them use
more energy to create less energy, and
simultaneously drive up food prices.
Thank you U.S. Congress!

And finally, we appreciate you letting us fleece
you without end. You will be glad to know we have
been accumulating shares in your banks, real estate,
and publicly held companies. We also finance a good
portion of your debt and now manipulate your
markets, currency, and economies for our benefit.

THANK YOU AMERICA !"

You stupid fools!

Praise Allah

Come up with some kind of guest worker program that accomodates (without rewarding) the illegals who are here.

Is this that difficult?

PROUDAMERICAN10:00AMJun 18th 2008

Obama stated he would not run for president in 2008 because he would not have enough experience to run.

Dispite his flip flop on the first point, I'll still take him at his word on the second.

You should too.

OBAMA WAS "SELECTED" NOT "ELECTED". HE AND THE DNC BIG-WIGS STOLE THE VOTES FROM HILLARY.

VOTE McCAIN IN 2008.

You Are Not A Democtrat10:49AMJun 18th 2008

Dear Clinton supporters:

Time to wipe your tears and move on.

The Democratic Party has its nominee.
The republicans in all their wisdom have theirs.
Now the choice is up to the American people.
Your Lies, bloggs, letters, petitions, threats and tears will not change that.
In November you will have to choose between.
The democratic candidate promising a change from Bush/McCain politics.
Or McCain who says he is not running on the Bush presidency. But McCain might want to check his campaign's position papers. In his eternal quest for the Republican nomination, McCain has adopted virtually the entire Bush agenda, often reversing long held positions and compromising core principles. From Iraq, tax cuts for the wealthy, broken promises on the deficit to opposition to SCHIP, tax credits for health care, overturning Roe v. Wade and a right-wing Supreme Court, without question John McCain represents a third Bush term.

So you could be bitter, or you could work to save this nation

Is This A Manufactured Crisis11:34AMJun 18th 2008

Lets think about this.

Is the oil crisis another McCain, Bush, Chaney and the Halliburton manufactured crisis?
Similar to the search for weapons of mass destruction?
I think the justice department should investigate who is behind the sudden raise in oil prices.
Who do the traders represent? Texas oil barons? Halliburton? Bush-McCain supporters? Is this Bush, McCain, Chaney payback?
With six months to go in the Bush, Chaney, Halliburton administration we suddenly have an oil crisis.
And what is the answer?
The opening of drilling all over the nation?
Now who would benefit from this?
Not that I do not agree that America should supply her own oil. But the timing of this crisis concerns me.
I keep wondering if this is another Bush self-serving manufactured crisis.
Please contact you elected officials and demand that they investigate this issue.

NO OBAMA ... EVER3:35PMJun 18th 2008

HOW OBAMA ' WINS ' A CAUCUS ! DIRTY TACTICS ! !

March 4, 2008
MEMORANDUM
TO: Interested Parties
FROM: Lyn Utrecht
Campaign Counsel
RE: Caucus Irregularities

The campaign legal hotline has been flooded with calls containing specific accusations of irregularities and voter intimidation against the Obama campaign. This activity is undemocratic, probably illegal, and reflects a wanton disregard for the caucus process.

The three most egregious categories are:

1) Irregularities: Prematurely Taking Precinct Convention Packets by Obama Campaign

Numerous calls have shown that Obama supporters prematurely removed convention packets from polling places. Packets may not legally given out until 7:15 PM or when the last voter has cast a ballot in the primary. The Texas State Party warned the Obama campaign i n writing that they may not take these packets early or remove them from the polling locations. The Party directed that these irregularities be reported to law enforcement “since they amount to criminal violations.” The Party stated “removing convention packets . . . will not be tolerated.”


A sampling of the precincts where this occurred are:


659 – Tarrant

709 – Houston

2316 – Tarrant

1205 – Dallas

3127 – Bexar

3082 – Fort Bend

18/224 – Harris

3221 – Dallas

87 – El Paso

851 – Houston

115 - Harris

470 – Galveston

388 – Harris

3000 – Dallas

1214 – Dallas

20 – Medina

205 – Walker


2) Voter Intimidation: Lock-out of Clinton caucus goers by Obama Campaign

Numerous calls have been received that the Obama campaign has taken over caucus sites and locked the doors, excluding Clinton campaign supp orters from participating in the caucus. The Clinton supporters have been unable to enter the premises to caucus. In at least one instance, law enforcement was called and forcibly opened the caucus site.

A sampling of the precincts where this occurred are:


4401 – Dallas

2052 – Tarrant

4402 – Dallas

75 – Harris

18 – Hardin

259 – Harris

124 – Nueces

4050 – Tarrant

115 – Harris

6 – Roma County

78 – Jefferson

117 – Denton

3. There are numerous instances of Obama supporters filing out precinct convention sign-in sheets during the day and submitting them as completed vote totals at caucus. This is expressly against the rules. The sign-in sheets were copied by the Obama campaign from the Texas Democratic Party website and taken by supporters to various polling places to sign-up caucus goers prior to the start of the caucuses.

IF CAUCUS RULES HAD BE EN RESPECTED....IT WOULD BE A DIFFERENT STORY.......

NO OBAMA ... EVER3:46PMJun 18th 2008

America is facing a huge energy crisis, and there is a solution. Here is my suggestion how to go about dealing with the high prices and future energy needs. We Americans could fix the oil shortage in a split second and reduce the gas prices overnight. This will immediately kick-start our economy, add fuel to growth and put America back on track. This is what needs to be done:

1. Immediately open up our strategic stockpile of oil reserves. This will DROP the oil prices over night, and
speculators will be dumping their oil futures.

2. Start immediately building new oil refineries, to meet future drilling - we can be back on track in 5 years.
Keep taxpayer dollars at home, dont waste it on a useless war.

3. Start immediately drilling our off-shore fields, and harvest our own natural resources. We are very plentyful. We
can be back on track in 5 years and rebuild our reserves, our economy and kick ass.

PEOPLE, America has vast deposits of oil, we have all the natural resources we need. We dont need to be dependent on Opec. Our neighbors, Canada and Mexico can help out, we are all on the same side.

Pennsylvania Voter6:19PMJun 18th 2008

Anyone who breaks the law and I mean anyone should be kicked out of this country if here illegally or if not here illegally put behind bars.

Employers breaking the law should not be just fined, but sent to jail.

I had many green card employees (here legally) who sent their pay home to Mexico. While good they want to support their families, it is not great for our economy - but at least here legally. Those here illegally are hurting our economy, not helping. Farm workers have always been allowed and fine. But skilled labor is disappearing into the hidden pay of the illegals who are exploited into low wages while depriving hard working American's of those job they always held.

We have to worry about our own legal citizen's. The cost of educating, providing health care, providing medicaid, providing welfare to all those here illegally must be stopped - we just can't afford them. If everyone of them that stayed had to repay every cent they took in benefits that would be one thing, but to only make them repay a few thousand dollars? Anyone who can't support themselves whould automatically be deported. Look at other countries, if an American could not support themselves they would be deported, some won't let you live there without proof you can support yourself - why are we so different.

We send jobs overseas and those left here in America are given away to illegal residents - there is something very wrong with this in my book.
