Don’t be so picky, MaDeuce, Rooty is going to bring in 20-30 million Mexican immigrants to make up for the loss due to abortions.
Just disgraceful. I'm really running out of patience with the Free Republic I used to know and love.
I am sure not for Rudy, but the statement another FReeper made about hoping his cancer flared was totally uncalled for, and downright nasty.
What the?
Leg 1. “I’ll grant amnesty to all illegals
Leg 2. “I’ll give them welfare for 20 years.
Leg 3. “I’ll remove all borders between the U.S., Canada and Mexico.
Then I will turn the stool upside down, because that way the the seat AKA the American tax payer will support you, better than they support you now.
I like those four pillars.
Rudy - Fiscal Conservative
THAT doesn't sound like a Democrat to me. He's more fiscally conservative than the other candidates running.
Until he does, all his "fiscal conservatism" talk is just jibber-jabber.
Once again, Rudy’s clarity on big issues is brilliant.
Entitlement programs will negate any spending cuts, which Rudy fails to mention. No specifics on cutting government bureaucracies and departments
2. Lower Tax Rates
Means more tinkering with the tax code, more bread crumb tax cuts. Rudy won't reform the tax system
3. Regulatory Reform
The guy that wanted the government to regulate the firearm and tobacco industries is now calling for regulatory reform?
4. Sound monetary policy
Please repeat: Social Security. Medicare. Medicaid. Rudy fails to mention these killers. Rudy fails to mention our trade deficit with China.
Please. They're just your typical election-year talking points. There's no specifics or mentioning of eliminating whole departments or programs. No reining in entitlements.
Besides, Rudy has no credibility anyway.
At least, he was at first.
Rudy will be an even more liberal extension of the (failed regarding immigration) Bush presidency.

That was a bit weird. There’s a whole pillar in the middle of the “cut spending” that isn’t about cutting spending and should have been it’s own pillar, the part that discussed strengthening the military, investing in energy independence, and stopping another Hurricane Katrina Response.
Because it’s not one of the pillars, it’s easy to miss.
And I would strongly argue that the American Prosperity depends on a strong military and a reliable source of energy.
