They are like pitbulls-the will never stop until they win or are dead. I’d rather they were dead.

________________________________________

Newt Gingrich, a Republican, served in the House from Georgia from 1978 and as House Minority Whip in 1989. He was Speaker of the House from 1995 to 1999.
During that time he never made use of military aircraft.

Nancy Pelosi, Democrat from California , is current Speaker of the House. The Pentagon provides the House speaker with an Air Force plane large enough to accommodate her staff, family, supporters, and members of the California delegation when she travels around the country. But, Pelosi wanted routine access to a larger plane. It includes 42 business class seats, a fully-enclosed state room, an entertainment center, a private bed, state-of-the-art communications system, and a crew of 16. Pelosi wanted “carte blanche for an aircraft any time”, including weekend trips home to San Francisco . Pretty nice but very expensive perk!
Her Air Force C-32 costs approximately $15,000 an hour.

And she has the guts to confront the Big Three CEOs for flying their corporate jets to Washington !
We haven’t heard any comment on Queen Pelosi’s snit about having to ride home in the small private, economy jet that comes with the Speaker’s job. Remember how Madame Pelosi was so aggravated that this little jet had to refuel while transporting her to California every week? Remember that she insisted on a luxurious 200 seat jet to fly her to California nonstop, instead?
Washington legislators who observed the Madame’s Big Fat jet grinned with glee as everyone was informed that Nancy ‘s luxury Jet will require American tax payers to buy thousands of gallons of expensive jet fuel every wee k. She only works 3 days a week but her gas guzzler luxury jet flights home, to California , cost taxpayers $60,000 one way! As Joe noted, ‘Unfortunately we have to pay to bring her back on Monday night,’ so there goes another $60,000.
That is $480,000 per month or an annual cost to taxpayers of $5,760,000. And she complains about the cost of the war? She could take the smaller jet which she says would cramp her style — but since her flying in style takes precedence over war costs — what the heck, eh?
Military families in this country do without while this woman, who heads up the most do-nothing Congress in the history of our country, spends lavishly to fly herself and associates to and from California every wee k.
Madame Pelosi expects you and me to conserve our carbon footprint by driving smaller cars and buying a bicycle pump to over-inflate our tires for better economy while she and her cohorts waste tax payer dollars.
Keep this circulating maybe someone will have enough gumption to do something about it.

A bunch of uneducated farmers traveling hundreds of miles to look for work. Looking for any kind of work to feed their families. I think that they used to call 'em Okies.

Arizona ramped up to one of the five highest taxed states to prepare for the invasion from New Jersey. Now it is down to the 35th highest taxed or thereabouts. We aren't exactly straining under the load from Mexico.

We just are not going to pack people in boxcars and send them south of the border. I met a young girl the other day who had been here since she was two or three. She has never seen Mexico since that time. She was working the desk at a hotel because they would pay her in cash and under the table. She's not going back and God help the Party that tries to send her back.

It's a tough call but my suggestion would be to push some of the new arrivals back by denying welfare and jobs and make accomodation for some of the ones who have built a life here.

There are undoubtably problems arising from a mass migration but the border has always been a rough place. I haven't personally been exposed to the effect of the large numbers in one area. That's why I'll back off in favor of those that have. I am sitting here typing with a broken hand from where I hit a Mexican on the jaw. But that was New Mexico and he was native. And he deserved hittin'.

If this passes ... the country will have left you. The America we grew up in will be no more.

We’ll have a socialized, multi-cultural future 3rd world country.

We have been sold out. Obama could not care less about the border, just like McCain. No one seems to see the danger of a wide open border with guns, drugs, and who knows what/who else coming over or have already come over. Our nation is quickly circling the drain.

........the violence on the US-Mexico border dominates the push to legalize millions of illegal immigrants on US soil........

DHS dupe Janet Napolitano fell right in with the con game...... stupidly claiming "America is supplying guns to Mexican drug gangs." How stupid can she get?..........stay tuned.

The agit-prop coming out of Mehico has ONE purpose only. Mexico's drug war is produced and directed by drugged-up federale war profiteers----with a cast of thousands. The drugged-up profiteers are salivating to get their hands on US tax dollars.

ITEM The connivers are creating a new class of "latino refugee" seeking "political asylum" in the US----once reserved for those claiming religious or political persecution.

ITEM Espanola con artists have been planning this for a long time. The sob stories are so bogus.....they whine as they sneak over our borders, acting like "god's children looking for a better life." Doing menial jobs cheap is part of the con game.

ITEM Now they are in high gear-----using scare tactics to alarm the US into getting involved in Third World problems---problems that are of their own making.

WHO'S KIDDING WHO? The Third World deliberately foments social unrest---manipulating drug activities and gang warfare on US soil for a targeted goal.

Echos of conniving Mideast greed resound south of the border.....wadda ya wanna bet the pukeneos are part of this scam? These jerks never saw an immigrant they didn't like---whether from eastern Europe, the Soviet bloc, or the Third World south of the border.

The espanolas are using the same playbook as Mideast connivers----the well-worn chapter entititled "How To Dupe the US Into Pouring Trillions Into Your Country." The con job entails faking that they "can't govern"....that they are "helpless victims."

This con sure works good in the Mideast---some of those lowlifes have been operating for years and are STILL too stupid to govern themselves.....UNLESS US tax dollars are pouring in.

================================

CON ALERT Now watch the espanolas use tried and true Mideast cons to get US tax dollars flowing:

1. Victimization----never fails.

2. Baiting "enemies" of the US to attack their Third World hellholes (or, more precisely, people THEY claim are US enemies) in order to dupe the US to step in, and step up the dollar flow.

3. Sending espanola government agents masquerading as drug lords into the countryside to foment unrest.

4. Populating the US with espanola government agents to agitate for US govt involvement to trigger the flow of US tax dollars.

The federale warmongers are salivating to get their hands on trillions of US tax dollars. The highest levels of conniving Third World governments are pepetrating a con to get US dollars flowing into the pockets of greedy federales and drug lords. All under the guise of "stopping" the drug wars.

Jeff Flake: no military service and the obligatory soft degrees at the baccalaureate and graduate level. He should get a job at National Review, he’s perfectly suitable to the younger crowd there. Is there any change the somebody can take him out in the primary this year?

I believe it will pass if it is brought up again. However, my biggest worry is they know that bringing the Immigration bill up again will get the public/voters in turmoil. They will use the turmoil as a diversionary tactic to bring along more socialism in the form of health care reform, and taxes.

Flake is great, except for his view on immigration.

I used to be for a guest worker program to go along with securing the border, but not anymore. At least not until it’s proponents predicted critical shortage of hotel maids and gardeners occurs. Something tells me it wouldn’t occur.

I would not be interested in sending someone like her back but the problem is every time amnesty comes up they want to have a very small lapse period of like 1 or 2 years. They need to be in the US for several years. No criminal record goes without saying.
