Brown for President next?

[Chris]

I was once uninformed on the truth behind the immigration issue. But after learning the truth behind it, I've taken a different outlook.

The first is that both political parties turned their heads on enforcement for years. The GOP as their supporters wanted the cheap labor and the Dems as they liked thet "feel-good" aspect, and they liked the potential for millions of voters if it played their way.

So now things get tight and we want to cast these people overboard? Like most problems, we ignored dealing with it until the rational solutions are unworkable. Five years ago, we could have approached this with a "you work/you stay" system. But we decided to politicize it and with that came the demonization of these people. And the easy way to do that was to label them as the brown scourge that's stealing from us.

I have a tough time discarding them. Like I wrote yesterday, I didn't mind the cheap lettuce. and I'm not going to hate them or be angry with them. it was the people WE voted into office that allowed the problem to occur.

Deporting them? That is no problem increase the fines the Employers pay and maybe pull their License, Shut off the money they will Self Deport, We have a mechanism in place for immigration they need to use it. 30 Million just given citizenship for being here illegally and the damage they do No!

Let's not get too rational there Chris, Steve will put you on the commie list....

 

[phragle]

I wonder what would happen if politicians spent more time honoring their constituents and less time honoring their party...

 

[fund razor]

Next Phragle will suggest that they honor their marriages and oathes of office.

 

[Tommy Gun]

The problem isn't the cheap labor, its the education and health care support neccessary by the state and local goverments; as a result our taxes go up so we pay for it one way or another.

Dude he is a liberal Republican!

Then Scott Brown, who is campaigning and supporting McCain, is as well.
Sen.-elect Scott Brown (R-MA), who won his seat in last night's special election, has already recorded a robo-call for Sen. John McCain's (R-AZ) re-election campaign.

Brown's campaign confirmed that he recorded the call, which asks voters to call McCain and thank him for supporting Brown. The number goes to Friends of John McCain, the senator's campaign.

McCain is facing an election this November. He may also find himself vulnerable in the Republican primary if the more conservative J.D. Hayworth challenges him.

A reader from Arizona who received the call tells us that Brown praises McCain for supporting him when no one else would. Brown also says he's ready to go to Washington and fight against a government takeover of health care.

McCain endorsed Brown Jan. 4.

Exactly!:cheers2:

Meanwhile, while we were chatting the Supreme Court struck down a 63 year old law designed to restrain unions and big business from aggressively backing candidates and special interests. They also struck down McCain-Feingold.

The losers? Us.

The winners? Every TV station in the US, as the potential up-to-the-last-minute commercials will be unrestricted. Buy as much as you can afford.

McCain he is hated among Americans ,Hell I would vote for Simcox long before that Traitor RINO McInsane/McQueeg.

Hate is a very strong word. It seems you use that word a lot.

 

[jayboat]

He took a Kennedy seat in Mass. as a Republican! Go back 10 years and ask the population if that would ever happen and you would get a 99% no chance answer!

I like the guy and think you all will see him in the White House some day! (provided there is no huge underlying scam out there that hasn't been uncovered yet!) :sifone:

I love this kind of stupidity.

Jon Stewart sums it up:

"Scott Brown is now apparently the 45th president of these United States Of America! Wooo! Yeah baby! Welcome. It has been a long, incredibly grueling couple of days since we first heard of this man. And now he's in charge of everything."

yeah, no chit. It ain't like they were really having problems spending the money before. Maybe they won't need the lobbyists as much, but that doesn't feel like much of a win.

Jay relax the Best is yet to come!:sifone:

Jon Stewart and The Daily Show rock!

P.S. I love having Steve1 on "ignore". If everyone ignores him, maybe he will go away.

Why then they would be back in their constituencies and would likely miss numerous symbolic and or irrelevant votes which in turn would lead to them losing their office on account of a poor voting record.:sifone:

Sounds a little bit like Obama......:toetap05:

But...I think Glenn Beck said it better; "Brown, congratulations on your victory... But, be warned that we'll all be watching you when you get to Washington, we'll be watching your every move."

We can hope.

We have a mechanism in place for immigration they need to use it.

We need to change it. There is no reason a visitor work system cannot be put in place like almost every other advanced country. You have a job lined up, you work, you pay taxes, you do not get citizenship. If you lose your job, you go home. Can't be all that tough, we decide to politicize these things instead of fixing them by using a little common sense.
