Reid’s lucky he’s not in jail; much less a US Senator; given the fact that he is a traitor.

Thursday, August 16, 2007 Washington, DC-El Leader of most of the Senate Harry Reid today made the following declarations in answer to information that indicate that the White House wishes to limit the information that can obtain the American town on the progress information on Iraq:
"the effort of the White House to come up frankly that General Petraeus and Crocker Ambassador testify open and before the Congress on the situation in Iraq is unacceptable. It not only contradicts the law that same President Bush signed in May, but that seems to be another attempt with political motivations to avoid to give the Congress and to the American town an opened evaluation of a war that, as all we can see, goes in the mistaken direction. "From the beginning of this war, the Administration of Bush has refused to render accounts to him to the American town on its failed strategy. In time, it has done all the possible one to get rid of responsibility and to deceive to us on the reality in the battlefield.
The result: an endless civil war that the life of almost 4.000 American soldiers has received and an Iraqian government who refuses to take responsibility from his own country. "If the President is going to continue requesting who the American soldiers fight in this civil war, that the contributors spend $10 billion every month to finance this war and that the American town has patience while he directs this war, then nearest the situation in the battlefield they must give to the Congress and to the American town a report of this independent war of political influences of the White House."

Reid: Administration Owes Congress, American People An Honest Report On Iraq in September

Thursday, August 16, 2007

Washington, DC—Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid made the following statement today in response to reports that the White House would like to limit what the American people are told in the September progress reports on Iraq:

“The White House’s effort to prevent General Petraeus and Ambassador Crocker from testifying openly and candidly before Congress about the situation in Iraq is unacceptable. Not only does it contradict the law President Bush himself signed in May, but it appears to be yet another politically driven attempt to avoid giving Congress and the American people an honest and open assessment of a war we can all see is headed in the wrong direction.

“From the very beginning of this war, the Bush Administration has refused to level with the American people about its flawed policy. It has instead done everything in its power to escape accountability and mislead us about the reality on the ground. The result: an open-ended civil war that has taken nearly 4,000 American soldiers’ lives and an Iraqi government that refuses to take responsibility for its own country.

“If the President is going to continue to ask American soldiers to fight in this civil war, ask taxpayers to spend $10 billion each month to fund this war and ask the American people for patience as he conducts this war, then those closest to the situation on the ground must give Congress and the American people a frank and honest account of this war free of White House political spin.”

Senador Reid es lleno de mierda, or as the Dirty Jobs guy might say, "Senator Reid is full of Poo". The law requires *The President*, to submit a report to Congress. It doesn't require the Commander in Chief to allow his troops to be harrassed by Congress. It doesn't require anything of anyone other than the President.

Mexican is not a race ... it’s an ethnicity/culture

No it's a nationality. Tejanos are *not* Mexicans, even if they do share some genetics, some culture and the Spanish language with them.

Call a Tejano a Mexican and see what happens. Get back to us.. if you can. :)

Or better yet, call a Puerto Ricano a Mexican. That won't be pretty either.

Translation:

“Hey, all you spanish amigos who are too oppressed by the evil whiteman to learn english!... Look, I hired someone to translate stuff into spanish! Bush lied, people died, but my office can write in Spanish! Those racist Republicanos who sent our children to die for their oil profits, they hate you too much to hire anyone who writes Spanish! But we Democratas like you muy mucho, plus we like tacos and enchiladas too! See-say pway-day!”

14 Reasons to Deport Illegal Aliens:

1. $11 Billion to $22 billion is spent on welfare to illegal aliens each year. http://tinyurl.com/zob77

2. $2.2 Billion dollars a year is spent on food assistance programs such as food stamps, WIC, and free school lunches for illegal aliens. http://www.cis.org/articles/2004/fiscalexec.html

3. $2.5 Billion dollars a year is spent on Medicaid for illegal aliens. http://www.cis.org/articles/2004/fiscalexec.html

4. $12 Billion dollars a year is spent on primary and secondary school education for children here illegally and they cannot speak a word of English! http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0604/01/ldt.0.html

5. $17 Billion dollars a year is spent for education for the American-born children of illegal aliens, known as anchor babies. http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0604/01/ldt.01.html

6. $3 Million Dollars a DAY is spent to incarcerate illegal aliens. http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0604/01/ldt.01.html

7. 30% percent of all Federal Prison inmates are illegal aliens. http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0604/01/ldt.01.html

8. $90 Billion Dollars a year is spent on illegal aliens for Welfare & social services by the American taxpayers. http://premium.cnn.com/TRANSCIPTS/0610/29/ldt.01.html

9. $200 Billion Dollars a year in suppressed American wages are caused by the illegal aliens. http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0604/01/ldt.01.html

10. The illegal aliens in the United States have a crime rate that’s two and a half times that of white non-illegal aliens. In particular, their children, are going to make a huge additional crime problem in the United States . http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0606/12/ldt.01.html

11. During the year of 2005 there were 4 to 10 MILLION illegal aliens that crossed our Southern Border also, as many as 19,500 illegal aliens from Terrorist Countries. Millions of pounds of drugs, cocaine, meth, heroine and marijuana, crossed into the U. S. from the Southern border. Homeland Security Report: http://tinyurl.com/t9sht

12. The National Policy Institute, “estimated that the total cost of mass deportation would be between $206 and $230 billion or an average cost of between $41 and $46 billion annually over a five year period.” http://www.nationalpolicyinstitute.org/pdf/deportation.pdf

13 In 2006 illegal aliens sent home $45 BILLION in remittances back to their countries of origin. http://www.rense.com/general75/niht.htm

14. “The Dark Side of Illegal Immigration: Nearly One Million Sex Crimes Committed by Illegal Immigrants In The United States “. http://www.drdsk.com/articleshtml

So using the LOWEST estimates,the annual cost OF ILLEGAL ALIENS is $338.3 BILLION DOLLARS A YEAR! So if deporting them costs between $206 and $230 BILLION DOLLARS, Hell get rid of em’, We’ll be ahead after the 1st year!!!
