Traitorous scum.
Vent.
Call your legislators and just get honest. Don’t hold back.
(We would like to apologise for the way in which politicians are represented in this [post]. It was never our intention to imply that politicians are weak-kneed political time-servers who are concerned more with their personal vendettas and private power struggles than the problems of government, nor to suggest at any point that they sacrifice their credibility by denying free debate on vital matters in the mistaken impression that party unity comes before the well-being of the people they supposedly represent, nor to imply at any stage that they are squabbling little toadies without an ounce of concern for the vital social problems of today. Nor indeed do we intend that viewers should consider them as crabby ulcerous little self seeking vermin with furry legs and an excessive addiction to alcohol and certain explicit sexual practices which some people might find offensive. We are sorry if this impression has come across. Monty Python, back in the 1970s)
if I were a liberal Democrat in 2014, I’d be laughing and crapping on everyone too....
Is this really what you voted for America?
Hey everybody: how’s that quest for a more moderate, centrist government going? :)
I can see Cantor, McCarthy, Flake, Portman, Hoeven, Corker, Kirk and several others simply switching to Democrat, claiming the "party of hate" has forced them to pull away.
The "several" others could become many others if they sense the tide is changing.
They don't care if their party commits suicide as long as they can continue to win elections.
Tried calling this morning, all lines busy, mailbox full. Once again they ignore us, so I will ignore them. I put 22 years in the Marine Corps for this? I want a “do-over”
“The Gods of the Copybook Headings”
Thank you so much for that.
Don’t know how I managed to remain ignorant of this poem all these years.
Or maybe I just forgot.
“I put 22 years in the Marine Corps for this?”
Semper Fi, jarhead, from a retired squid.
When it’s time to stand to, I’ll be there. Even if I have to be carried, I’ll be there.
Of course, the Democratic Party is pursuing a suicidal platform themselves, i.e. in terms of national suicide.
“Hey everybody: how’s that quest for a more moderate, centrist government going?”
You mean the one that’s way over to hell and gone past Robin Hood’s Barn to the right of the right wing of the “Republican Party?” Over there closer to the center?
Is this really what you voted for America?
I don’t recall seeing an amnesty plank in the 2012 GOP platform. Silly me for missing that one.
I don't know what the answer is, but most of what I hear around here is obsolete and about a decade out of date.
Yet something absolutely must be done. Where I live, the battle is already lost, but the rest of the country still has a chance.
It’s in the New York Times, it must be true!
Cantor’s dreamer bill has been out there a long time. The Times isn’t making this up.
What is new the cock and bull trial balloon from the GOP that legalization without citizenship is NOT amnesty.
Yes. But I (and I think they) view it more as premeditated murder.
Obama and those closest to him hate our country.
Schumer, Reid, Pelosi and other clowns simply figure, 1) someone will get to be in charge, whatever is left (no pun intended); and 2) they got theirs already, so what the hell?
You’re right about Cantor.
I just never trust the NYT, I don’t care what they’re trying to pass off as factual and accurate.
Another ex-squid that feels the same way. Feel like I wasted some very good years of my life.
I would also stand tall with you guys but im afraid we are in a very small minority.
Their LEGAL status is ILLEGAL.
Otherwise the rule of law and thus the primacy of the US Constitution and most of the foundations of our society are dead.
They wouldn't be able to vote so they wouldn't care what happens to the government. They would still be reluctant to speak up when crimes are committed in their neighborhoods for fear of losing their tentative status. They would still have to be cared for, free of charge, in ERs. They would most likely qualify for workers comp and unemployment and even Social Security, or would get these care of further liberal legislation.
We would turn America into another Europe.
Temporary work visas for a relatively small number of people in fields where there is truly a shortage of talent might make sense. But long term non-citizen status is a recipe for disaster.
