It is not either/or, traitor

OOOOH, the traitor card, the same in desperation, when the left pulls out the nazi card.

French, Spanish, and Italian all could raise hackles because of historic grievances. Better one of the smaller Romance languages—Sardinian, Catalan, or Moldovan.

I think it’s a great speech and sets a pretty clear vision of what he believes. I also know many on this board won’t agree with all of it. BUT when you compare it to “the greatest speech since Abe Lincoln” given by the guy who critisized his Grandmother, how can there be any doubt that we’re better off with McCain in the WH than the other two clowns

McCain has moral and mental health issues. His pro illegal alien stand is not something a patriotic American would promote. He should never be allowed into the White House.

You are sitting in Pennsylvania.

I am in San Diego sitting 15 miles north of the border and
over a million Mexicans live here not counting the thousands of illegals.

A huge percent of Mexicans will not learn English.
Many who have been here for years and attended school
will not learn English. Most everything here is both Spanigh & English to cater to the Mexicans who won’t learn
English.

The cost factor of the illegals here are bleeding the hospitals tens of millions of dollars a year.

The Mexicans are also in school long enough to run up the cost for
education and leave before finishing.

It has put the state in such a hole, that San Diego alone so far in the past weeks have notified over 900 teachers
they no longer have a job because they can’t be paid.

But hey, you are snug in Pennsylvania away from the cost
and culturer down the drain.

Yuh know that may not be a bad thing, that means $18,000 per week(900 teachers giving $20 per week) that not goes into the coffers of the NEA(teachers union).

BTW, I am for English to be the official language of govt. and schools, it's the liberals who hold these kids back by keeping them in their bi-lingual plantation.

Since San Diego has the largest population of Marines and Navy, their children are also being punished by this as they also attend public schools along with children of republicans.

We have a huge number of parochial schools and private schools but not everyone can afford them.

Home schooling is nice if a parent is rich enough be be at home to teach. Most parents both have to work.

And so who is your white knight? But it is always easier to complain and whine, rather than actually providing a solution.

BTW, McCain won the GOP nomination fair and square, unlike hillary who is trying to pull the rug under the rules.

But what the hey you all don't think, just rant, and also if there had been a national primary day, guess who would have won the GOP nomination, Guiliani. I know that would give you the vapors.

Someday maybe you all will wake up to reality.

“BTW, I am for English to be the official language of govt. and schools, it’s the liberals who hold these kids back by keeping them in their bi-lingual plantation.”

Then, WHY give all the rest of us such a bunch of crap if we want the same? You’re difficult and contrary for one reason, Dane.....the same reason Bill Clinton gave for getting away with his nonsense....”Because I can”.

Boo!

Well that is why I am in favor of school vouchers, but you seem to not be in favor, especially with your screeching about 900 teachers and the NEA(teacher union) losing their income.

Uh because your marketing campaign has been proven a loser, Bea.

But what the hey someone said the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

JMO, you are following that definition of insanity.

You have no clue.

I am for Vouchers. I am supporting the Republicans as I have since first working for Reagan when he first ran for gov.

But since there are no vouchers, and the illegasl are
eating up our budget this is the reality.

There are to many country club republicans on FR who don’t get it when it come to blue collar working people and
what is put up with.

“compassionate to illegal aliens”

AND to butchering terrorist. McCain “needs to put a sock in it” while he is ahead instead of struggling to snatch defeat from possible victory..

Could have fooled me, it seems that your animus is against immigrants and not directing your enbery into a more positive mode, such as pushing school vouchers.

“There are to many country club republicans on FR who don’t get it when it come to blue collar working people and

Don’t forget, Dane ‘gets it’. Dane likes the invasion and doesn’t like anyone who doesn’t. Dane could care less what it costs his fellow American citizens.

Don’t argue with Dane as long as he uses “immigrants” instead of “illegals”.

You are tucked away in a safe little town over a few thousand miles from Mexico.

There are tens of thousands of people who cross daily at the San Diego - Mexico Border. Also many who are illegal.

The crime each day by them here are costing millions and our prison and court system is overloaded.

Murders, rape, gang violence, drugs, etc.

15 miles south of me are battles in the street that look like Bagdad 2 yrs ago with troops and drug cartels and corrupt gov. people.

Kidnappings there and here by them are sport. Beheading, etc. are part of the routine.

Huge amounts come across each day to have their kids at our hospitals, then their kid is an American citiz. they then get welcfare, foodstamps, medical, etc.

This goes on by the tens of thousnads, school vouchers won’t pay for the hospital bills and legal bills that run into the billions.
