Oddly, the hapless GOP believes that the Clinton and Obama models are the prototypes to winning elections. They do understand the socialist tendencies of the American people and therefore ignore their own base of constitutionalists.

I don’t recall eating a Domino’s pizza but I swore off McDonald’s long ago. I always considered a Mac burger as something that would prevent starvation in a pinch but was only to be used in an emergency to stop that gnawing under the belt feeling.

I used to hear how the great success of McDonald’s was attributed to their perfect “quality control” and shake my head in wonder. I seem to remember that their coffee was alright though and their breakfast was reasonably good.

I think if the Republicans were smart they would revise the
immigration work permits policy and immigration after the 2010 elections to be a lot more reasonable. If they did this and sat on making the existing illegals legal these people would flow into the legal channels and defuse the illegal amnesty issue. Many of these people go home every year or they just come here to work. When they return to the U.S. they would choose to use a legal route if it made any sense and they might actually give the Republicans credit it.

“. Many of these people go home every year or they just come here to work.”

No, they come here, and STAY here for the 20,000+ per year(family of 4) welfare benefits. This is one of the reasons California is bankrupt. They not only stay, they bring their relatives over here, once they are settled in.

I suspected they did change their pizza, but my wife and I do not like the brushed garlic stuff they put on the edge of the crust. It soaks through and really detracts from the taste.

Of course the best pizza is the one my wife makes, IMO.

But we GOT 'em!

And now they are creating LEGAL US Citizens faster than the rest of us!

That is what I used to think, but I can tell you in the Carolinas when a large chunk of these people lost their jobs they went home according to official reports and
my unofficial observations. (I was a bit surprized by
this to be honest with you.)

Domino’s *is* bad pizza, but like McDonald’s, you get what you pay for. I think the best bang-for-the-buck pizzas are the fresh bake-yer-own pizzas.

It still sucks.

I actually prefer a Digiorno’s cooked according to directions in a good oven over almost any chain pizza outlet in my area. Of course there is nothing here that approaches what was available in Chicago the last time I was there back in 1982.

We passed a law in Arizona that you must PROVE that you are eligable to work in the USA. In the past 18 months, we have lost almost half of our illegal immigrants. If the whole country did this, they would self deport. Neither party has the balls to do it.

Of course they are. The more kids, the more welfare money.

And YOU AND I are paying for it!

Many just went to illegal immigrant friendly states, like California.

Yeah, I had heard that was working well for your state.

In the Carolinas if they don't have a job the young ones go home to live off their relatives like our kids would do here. Now if a guy is married with kids that might be a little different because they might be able to get government benefits. The young guys live with a bunch of their buddies. If they can't pay their way they are ousted from the nest pretty quick and they generally go home. With the drop in building and landscaping their ranks have really thinned out over the last coupe of years.

"For too long Republicans confused supporting big business with supporting free markets, when big business is often the biggest impediment to fair competition."

Bingo! Being "pro-business" has hurt the GOP for decades. They never learn. They need to be "pro-free enterprise" and tell people, if big business stops serving Americans well, they deserve to go out of business and be replaced by businesses that ARE producing and serving the American People.

The GOP should go with a "small" agenda. Less of everything. Empowering individuals, families and small businesses to make their own choices. The government should help them do that and then get out of the way. While the Democrats attempt to re-run the "New Deal", the GOP can offer a fresh political approach to the 21st Century. Not big government, not compassionate government but a small government that does a few things well.

I know illegals swamped Charlotte in recent years due to the real estate construction boom, but that is over now.

I want to make the point that this article makes a great suggestion. Right now, the Democrats from Obama to Reid to Pelosi are the party of “We don’t listen to you, because WE know better.” The GOP should reform itself into the party of “We listen to you, we respect you.” Then go on to explain what their hearing and what they are going to do about it.

The best thing to deal with the immigration problem has been this incredibly cold winter so far. Their potential
job market must be falling faster than the temps.
