This voter thought that past failure was the best evidence of future success…unbelievable. How do you use logic against that?

Much as the Democratic side pains liberal wanks sometimes, they are in a different league from Republicans. Bush doesn’t know the price of gas. McCain “doesn’t know much about economics”.

Bush may not know the price of Gas but unlike democrats he does know the price of freedom.

Modern Problems Associated with Illegal Immigration Now at a Crisis Point
By Congressman Ron Paul, 2/19/2008 9:26:21 AM
For decades we have welcomed new immigrants to our American “melting pot.” We respect those who come here peacefully to pursue their American Dream. But Americans have noticed lately that modern problems associated with illegal immigration are at a crisis point. Taxpayers are now suffering the consequences.

Costs of social services for the estimated 21 million illegal immigrants in this country are approaching $400 billion. We educate 4.2 million children of illegals at a cost of $13.8 billion. There have been almost 2 million anchor babies born in this country since 2002, with labor and delivery costs of between $3 and 6 billion.

There are currently 360,000 illegals in our prisons and we have spent $1.4 billion to incarcerate them since 2001. In Prince William County near DC, ICE can’t deport criminal illegals fast enough and has actually asked its local jails to slow down on referring them. Jurisdiction over illegal immigration lies at the federal level, yet many municipalities are struggling with the compounding problems of mandated costs and tied hands.

My office has heard from at least one sheriff in my district considering seeking compensation from the Federal government for the cost of so many illegal immigrant inmates that wouldn’t be here if the Federal government was doing its job and protecting our borders. The problems are widespread.

One thing is certain: If we subsidize them, they will come. We have rolled out the social services red carpet, so it is no surprise that many from other countries are eager to come take advantage of our very generous system.

We must return to the American principle of personal responsibility. We must expect those who come here to take care of themselves and respect our laws. Not only is this the right thing to do for our overtaxed citizens, but we simply have no choice. We can’t afford these policies anymore. Since we are $60 trillion in debt, there should be no taxpayer-paid benefits for non-citizens.

My bill, the Social Security for American Citizens Only Act, stops non-citizens from collecting Social Security Benefits. This bill, by the way, picked up three new cosponsors this week and is gaining momentum.

Also, we should not be awarding automatic citizenship to children born here minutes after their mothers illegally cross the border. It just doesn’t make sense. The practice of birthright citizenship is an aberration of the original intent of the 14th amendment, the purpose of which was never to allow lawbreakers to bleed taxpayers of welfare benefits. I have introduced HJ Res 46 to address this loophole. Other Western countries such as Australia, France and England have stopped birth-right citizenship. It is only reasonable that we do the same. We must also empower local and state officials to deal with problems the Federal government can’t or won’t address. Actions like this are a matter of national security at this point.

Illegal immigration is draining and frustrating the American taxpayer. I will continue to work for a solution that does not reward those who break our laws.

Congressman Ron Paul, R-Texas, is a candidate for President in 2008.

Fair enough. McCain has Kemp. The supply side guru who convinced first Reagan then Bush, Jr. that tax cuts reduce deficits. OK, maybe it was an idea worth trying once (Reagan). Oops, deficits went up! Twice (Bush).

OOPS! AFTER MORE SPENDING DID FIRST! DUH!

Go read Davy Crockett’s essay, “NOT YOURS TO GIVE!”

And move yourself to a Socialist Communist nation, if that is the kind of govt you love so much.

Get this, Davy Crockett and a lot of good men gave their lives to stop men such as you adore so. And the nation that rose from that is a nation worth having.

The kind of nation, and citizen/subject formed from your type of chosen politics is not.

And you can paint McCain anyway you want to – but he is a Socialist, whether Kemp is beside him or not, and whether Kemp the Dole chimp is worth having along, anyway.

Hmmm. Not even an accomplishment for him. I’m sure she’ll claim it as one for herself, though.

It was the epitome of the Clinton administration.

I’m sure they couldn’t convince even the muslims that Hillary is a “WHORE” – still!

And she wasn’t even GREEN when she did it!

So barfing!!!

Something that struck me about that ad was — if it’s 3AM and the phone rings, why is she wearing a suit, make up in place, with jewelry, etc.?

Alright someone has to say it–Vampires don’t sleep at night.

And what they came up with was weak — that she’s been endorsed by many high ranking RETIRED members of the uniformed military.

Fixed that one. What general or admiral on active duty would publicly endorse any candidate?

I can’t believe that Hillary is doing these ads, because a smart McCain campaign will simple re-run those ads in their favor come fall.
