Great addition to the list-—thanks again.
I am feeling pretty good right now. I really hope McCain knows that there are two issues that will turn many of us against him for good.
Amnesty/Illegal-immigration
Man-made global warming
If he can remember that I will support him on the rest of his platform but make no mistakes Senator..... you will lose it all on those two issues.
You will tear down what you have helped to rebuild.
“The problem is, McCain will argue that amnesty is ‘widely accepted’....”
Of course he will....and if he wins, he will throw back in our faces that his win and our votes are evident of America’s support for his position (amnesty).
What really matters is what JUAN HERNANDEZ thinks.
If he is visibly pissed off, quivering, and looks like he is going to quit, then WE HAVE SOMETHING TO CELEBRATE ABOUT.
However, if he is quiet, self-assured, smiling like a Chesire Cat, you can assume--we are screwed.
Anyone seen him lately?
Remember to look into the eyes. The windows of the soul.
I’ll never forget Chertoff’s referring to them as “economic migrants.”
While the issue is critical. . .electing McCain is moreso and so immigration falls to a footnote, for the time being. And agree or not with McCain et al; Obama is still, NOT an option.
Good point, I don’t recall seeing Juan at the convention or the words comprehensive immigration reform mentioned once last night or at anytime.
Wherever pot is grown on plantation-like operations on public or federal forested areas or even state lands, illegals are tending the crops. Rhode Island is probably about the only one where it would be kind of hard to hide them.
The only thing I would like to see "vetted" when it comes to the FABULOUS Sarah Palin, is her clear cut position, one way or another, on the Kennedy-McCain Comprehensive Immigration Reform Bill of 2007 and whether she would have supported or opposed it as the tie-breaking vote in the United States Senate as Vice President. Amidst the euphoria, can we put the kool-aid down, fellow Americans, just long enough to ask this important question?
And today, whether she supports the revised 2008 GOP Platform on Illegal Immigration to it's fullest, or whether she has flexibility on the issue of "Amnesty" and "Bridge to Citizenship"?
Obama needs no more vetting in my book. He is hopeless.
Seriously, folks, when can we hear specifically on this issue out of the Vice Presidential Candidate's campaign camp and policy advisors? It is not being addressed and it was the hottest issue, in fact still is (A MAJOR NATIONAL SECURITY, COUNTRY-FIRST ISSUE) in the beginning of the GOP primaries. For what reason is it now off the table?
This might cause people to return to a constantly questioning and verifying attitude on this key issue of Border Security and National Sovereignty.
I kinda like the idea of legal resident kids getting an education. They and their progeny will be here a long long time.
Now if you really meant illegal criminal invaders, they should be flung home.
Sniffle---golly, you are so tolerant AND compassionate (sob).
Providing free air travel home is just the compassionate & humane thing to do.
(Sigh) My hero-----so what are you doing next Sat night?
I'll be busy building a trebuchet.
