Is this the “humane” thing to do?
He he
No, the humane and pure thing to do would be to nominate an untested, inexperienced huckster given to garbled transmissions and seeking on-the-job government training in the position of leader of the free world, now that Obama has broken the glass ceiling for slick-talking rookies.
It’s a great position to be in - another contract - the last contract was a success.
You are obviously a hater of this candidate. Why be a Bachmann and tear everyone down? Why be afraid that only by tearing down others can your chosen candidate have a shot?
it’s a losing strategy. Ask michelle.
This could indeed be our last chance. I’m voting for the guy who has delivered a balanced budget and required moochers to find work. If he doesn’t want to wheel Abuela to the Rio Grande and dump her, chair and all, I can live with that.
Thank you from proving the point about the Newt Cultists
You just resorted to Cult of Personality follower debate tactics 1.
Cult of Personality debate tactic 1.
When incapable of making a rational defense of the cult figure’s record or statements, divert attention off the cult leaders failing by going into hysteric personal attack mode at anyone challenging the PR spin being projected around the cult leader.

Getting tiresome isn’t it?
It seems FReepers are getting used to the ‘dictatorship’ of the POTUS.
Our better candidates are having a conversation with us - not issuing a ‘manifesto’.
We are becoming ideologues - not realists. There are 300 million inhabitants of the US - an untidy bunch. If we were a painting we would be a Jackson Pollock - not a Monet.
At least that “untested huckster” had nothing to do with making the mess we currently have to correct, and made his money outside of politics.
These professional pols are why we are IN THIS MESS!
NOOT’s newfound spine will last halfway through the first day of lobbying.
When challenged to defend the actions of the Cult Leader, sing vapid praise songs about how wonderful he is, and what a great plan he has. At all costs divert attention off the Cult Leaders failures and short comings.
Hey Newbie.....are you saying that Obama made his money outside of politics??
Hater? No. Just someone experienced with Newt’s promises versus Newt’s wanderings.
Yes, I'd say actually making the system work would be the humane thing to do. And it would also be the one that makes economic sense and could entirely reenergize our country.
But if you want to stay on the Dems' Fantasy Island, where we keep the existing dysfunctional system in everything from immigration to education to taxes, go ahead.
“Poor little illegal aliens—tell you what—be illegal long enough and we will give you amnesty.”
Man, he coulda been a contender...
On the contrary, saying that illegals deserve free stuff is more the Democrat thing, not wanting to reward them.
There’s a very short list of freepers to whom I never respond, or even finish reading when it posts a comment.

I don’t care who you are, that right there is FUNNY!
Gingrich on illegals, 11/22/11:
I did vote for the Simpson-Mazzoli Act. Ronald Reagan, in his diary, says he signed it – and we were supposed to have 300,000 people get amnesty. There were 3m. But he signed it because we were going to get two things in return. We were going to get control of the border and we were going to get a guest worker program with employer enforcement.
We got neither. So I think you’ve got to deal with this as a comprehensive approach that starts with controlling the border, as the governor said. I believe ultimately you have to find some system – once you’ve put every piece in place, which includes the guest worker program, you need something like a World War II Selective Service Board that, frankly, reviews the people who are here.
If you’re here – if you’ve come here recently, you have no ties to this country, you ought to go home. period. If you’ve been here 25 years and you got three kids and two grandkids, you’ve been paying taxes and obeying the law, you belong to a local church, I don’t think we’re going to separate you from your family, uproot you forcefully and kick you out.
The Krieble Foundation is a very good red card program that says you get to be legal, but you don’t get a pass to citizenship. And so there’s a way to ultimately end up with a country where there’s no more illegality, but you haven’t automatically given amnesty to anyone.
I do suggest if you go back to your district, and you find people who have been here 25 years and have two generations of family and have been paying taxes and are in a local church, as somebody who believes strongly in family, you’ll have a hard time explaining why that particular subset is being broken up and forced to leave, given the fact that they’ve been law-abiding citizens for 25 years.
I do not believe that the people of the United States are going to take people who have been here a quarter century, who have children and grandchildren, who are members of the community, who may have done something 25 years ago, separate them from their families, and expel them.
I do believe if you’ve been here recently and have no ties to the US, we should deport you. I do believe we should control the border. I do believe we should have very severe penalties for employers, but I would urge all of you to look at the Krieble Foundation Plan.
I don’t see how the party that says it’s the party of the family is going to adopt an immigration policy which destroys families that have been here a quarter century. And I’m prepared to take the heat for saying, let’s be humane in enforcing the law without giving
them citizenship but by finding a way to create legality so that they are not separated from their families.
