Sunday open thread
I’m on the West Coast for a few more days. Thanks again to all of you who supported “From the Frontlines.” Our friends at Move America Forward tell me the total is now more than $1.1 million! Still sifting through an avalanche of e-mails from michellemalkin.com and hotair.com readers and commenters to figure out our final tally–but it looks like we well exceeded our $15,000 goal. Bravo!
Make yourselves at home and feel free to shoot the breeze. I’ll be back to normal blogging later tonight.

Have a restful and great day, MM & all!
Hi all, just waiting for a plane and Colorado springs after a 2 week army reserve school. Fun fun fun. Dispite the rumors to the contrary, I did NOT run over ther sign on base with the truck.
McAmnesty and Obama were both in high gear yesterday pandering to Hispanics.
McCain said a top priority, and certainly within his first 100 days would be, you guessed it, “comprehensive immigration reform”.
Likely a moot point and Obama will be doing the amnesty thing.
For some reason I’m beginning to wonder it Obama would be as bad on this issue as McCain.
Seems like every time you come to California the State is on fire.
enjoy the remainder of your stay.
tip: you may want to skip S.F. today.
especially market street.
I am probably going to regret this but what is going on in market street?
gay pride parade….
and all the other loons.
I feel like going to the office today. I was wondering about Osama’s (Microsoft spell corrector did it, not me) Global Poverty Act. I wasn’t sure if it was up for vote this week or not. It seems like the dumbest piece of legislation I’ve ever seen.
Other than that I had a talk with a crazy liberal pal of mine that thinks it’s a great idea for the illegals to get amnesty because he feels they’ll pay for our social security, sounds like he wants a slave state.
I also thought about if the current crop of illegals are given amnesty what is stopping more illegals replacing the ranks and filling the ’slave labor’ void of the ones given amnesty?
These seem like valid thoughts to me. Any rebuttals are most welcome.
My guess is it’s cuz it’s more like “meat-market street”.
Hope you have a great rest of your weekend, Michelle. Did you get to take your family with you to make a vacation out of your trip?
I’m going to be settling in this afternoon to take care of my very, very sick baby (double ear infections, plus Hand, Foot and Mouth disease!) while we watch the Jon and Kate plus 8 Marathon.
McCain said the 12 million illegal aliens in US are all “God’s children”. Oh my gosh. Does that mean we’re going to get 12 million new US citizens post haste? I wonder if McCain identifies with them because of his own background as a “maverick”. Bottom 5% of his class at Annapolis (I think 5% is being charitable. Might be 1%) because of his wild, rule-breaking ways. He figuratively spit in the face of his Vietnamese torturers for 5 years. I wonder that he admires someone who hopped the fence and did it their way. I’m struggling to understand why he’s so interested in rewarding lawbreaking. Anyone have any other ideas?
I’m not saying a word on Mighty Mc..
just LOTE
I’d just note that McCain has always sought the approval and admiration of the left. What drives him is his constant need of liberal validation.
I have a question about the two candidates’ voting performances.
This past year (June 29, 2007 – present) I tallied that Barack Obama missed roughly 238 Senate votes (give or take a few). That’s according to Obama’s site; please feel free to correct my math if I messed up. Anyway, is missing 238 votes while running for President unusual or par for the course?
I tried to locate the Maverick’s voting record over this same period of time, but unfortunately his site doesn’t provide a readily identifiable link to his voting record.
I don’t know if this has been covered much here but this is insane. Barack Obamas Global poverty act http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=56405
True. But if he wants to win the white house he will have to note that the libs and illegals are not enough….if it were so he should be ahead in the polls by now and he ain’t.
This makes an excellent opportunity for conservatives to dictate terms to McCain the same way we did Bush in 2000 and 2004-and smile.
I agree with Goldwater. Yesterday we got a letter in the mail from CmCain asking for donations. I told my husband to send it back saying we wouldn’t consider a donation until he gets off his “comprehensive” BS. Time to listen to the legal citizens of this country. I simply can not understand why all the politicians are pandering to the illegals.
sorry missed the post above
“I’d just note that McCain has always sought the approval and admiration of the left. What drives him is his constant need of liberal validation.”
You forgot to add the homosexual vote he’s courting, which, along with the left and illegals apparently make up the new Republican base. Well, at least in his mind….
Michelle, did you have a chance to visit Berkeley and the Marines Recruiting Station or the tree-sitters protest?
If Juan McCain wants to meet a real maverick…
“Nigel Calder, former editor of New Scientist, says the orthodoxy must be challenged“, topic: man-made global warming.
Personally, I doubt old Juan has the malkins to challenge the Al Gore school of thought. He’s too much of a go along to get along type of politician. The truth is secondary to that sort.
I’m not in the mood to be call a stupid pig for what I believe the McSwish truth is except he is a self manufactured political opportunist and why would he spit in the face of the people who though he was a prince of captives and offer him early release to honor his father and grand father not to mention the comfort nurse proved by the viets. Why didn’t he take the early release, hell there was a war going on out there. One thing for sure, he learned his capitulating skill in the Hanoi Hilton. I wonder where he would be today, having graduated 895 of 900, had he not had Bob Dole breaking water for him and had he not been allowed to award himself a sh!t pot full of valor metals (none of the usual confirmation procedures were observed by the Navy). He does not want anyone’s back ground to become a campaign issue. Especially his.
Not knowing much about McCain prior to his stint at the Hanoi Hilton other than he was from a strong military back ground. Can’t help but to wonder if his stay in Hanoi didn’t have some kind of liberalizing his train of thought. I read where he joined the Republican Party way back when only because it was the back bone of Arizona politics at the time, Goldwater and all. Makes me wonder how a retired military hero can drift so far left. I haven’t bought a nose pin yet and doubt i will. On the verge of joining the Constitution Party…it’s worth a good look. That party basically represents what the GOP used to, The Constitution.
Yesterday I went to a rally for the kick off of the campaign for LTC Allen West for Congress in Florida’s CD22. He gave a great speech which was very well received by all there. It will be posted on YouTube in the next few days and as soon as it is I will post the link. In the meantime here is the link to his Issues Page on his website http://www.allenwestforcongress/issues.php. The RNC has not reach out to him to help with funding and he is running way behind his Dem opponet in this area, but is polling very strongly against him. He needs help with funding so please if you can spare $25 or $50 please donate to him. He is truly a great guy and one that will do right be the American people from Washington DC. We need many more like him working for us and then maybe we can get out of this mess we are in now, due to the incompetance of the idiots that we currently have working for us. I doubt if what they are doing up there can be considered ‘working for us’? More like working for themselves! Unfortunately I do not live in his district but that is not stopping me from helping him in anyway I can.
Goldwater Knight,
Great post concerning the Global Poverty Tax. According to American Thinker, it will be up for a vote soon after the Independence Day recess. Once Harry Reid and the Democrat leadership put it on the calendar, we could have as little as a week to prepare for the vote.
In addition to the obvious, what concerns me most about this bill is the ambiguity of some of the language. Specifically, does the below quoted summary apply only to recipient nations or all nations that participate (even the donor nations)?
I have not read the entire bill, but skimmed it enough to know that this is definitely not in America’s interests. Obviously, this bill must be fought and it’s my guess that the Senate majority leader will attempt to put it on the calendar immediately following the recess in order to avoid us shutting down the faxes and phone lines again.
Sorry that link does not work. Here it is again http://www.allemwestforcongress.com/issues.php
It appears 60 cars in Orlando got vandalized and the main headline is about racist comments on Obama. What is not mentioned in many of them is reported in this story on it:
http://www.wftv.com/news/16738560/detail.html
Yes it looks like the racism card is being played in this election, but it is not by the GOP or Sen. McCain
I will be going to church today- 3:00 to whenever it’s all over. In uncertain, bizarre times like these, it’s nice to go to a place where NO politics are preached over the pulpit, and one knows there’s always safety in the arms of Him, no matter what gloom and doom the headlines bring. It’s nice to know that you can put your trust in something other than the current candidates. Thank GOD.
After that, well who knows. Philosophy homework, until I puke. I shall be disagreeing with my professor on the view of womyn’s rights and anarchism, so I expect my grade will be quite a bit lower than usual.
Oh but I did include them, Purple Peep!
and amazingly they still aren’t enough for John McCain white house bid-major opportunity for us conservatives. To quote that famous line by Mel Gibson in “The Road Warrior”….’you (John McCain) want to get get out of here…come to me (the conservatives)!’
bit_boy
Obviously you have paid no attention to anyone but the MSM …
It has long been known why McCain didn’t take the early release …
His father was the Admiral in charge of the entire Pacific Naval Forces at the time and he knew that the North Vietnamese would use the whole release as a propaganda issue …
He also was upholding a responsibility of a US military officer by not abandoning his fellow prisoners …
I have to assume from your comment that you know nothing of the expectations of our military when captured … the chain of command for US forces does not stop just because they are POWs …
As for the military commendations … I would like to know where you got this information that he was
… got a link to that? … and btw … it’s MEDALS … not METALS …
If anyone has falsified awards of medals it is John Kerry … in 4 months in Viet Nam he got 2 purple hearts? … yeah … right … give me a break …
too many ‘gets’ just one is sufficient
Kiwigranny
I’ve just given to Allen West two days ago…he is what we need in Congress
There is a lot I don’t like about McCain, but he is a genuine hero. He also criticized our occupation of Iraq when it needed to be, and he supported the surge when many said it would fail. He was right and the others were wrong.
I have no choice but to vote for him, because McCain is the only candidate standing between the White House and Obama.
Somebody really needs to tell Juan McLame; even God has an immigration policy. Just being one of Gods children doesn’t mean you get to immigrate in to heaven. What you think the pearly gate is just there for decoration.
Hope your are having a wonderful time out here on the left coast Michelle .
MM, we need another alternative to Fox, CNN and MSNBC. We know CNN and MSNBC are awful, and I think Fox has gotten a little soft. I propose the Straight Talk Network, not to be confused with McCain’s Straight Talk where it comes straight out of both sides of his mouth. I think there’s a real market for it. It would have you, Laura Ingraham and other true conservatives on. Brilliant idea, huh?
Why do we need comprehensive immigration reform? Is something broke, or are we just not enforcing the perfectly good, unused laws we already have. It’s a vexing dilemma, but I see no reason why comprehensive immigration reform should be a top topic when we have gasoline at $4 a gallon and the economy teetering on the edge.
We already did AMNESTY, isn’t once enough?
There was a lot written about the majority opinion in the Heller Supreme Court case. I wonder what the rationale of the four justices who dissented were? I thought it would have went down 9-0 it was so clear cut. But that’s the inherent flaw with constitutions, they always get politicized.
My daughter has a friend who came over from Turkey about 12 or so years ago, basically with a couple of dollars and the clothes he was wearing. He started in the restaurant business in the kitchen and now has 4 of his own Pizza/Italian restaurants and is VERY successful. He is staunchly conservative and just loves the US of A! What a guy!
His pizzas are great, too!
Tarpon, once was actually more than enough since it seems to have set a precedence. The bottom line is that our representatives need to start representing us. Afterall, that is their job description.
I recently heard that Senator Obama chastised Senator McCain over backing-off his amnesty bill after hearing from the American people. My only response was, “well shouldn’t he?!” In our representative republic, aren’t those elected supposed to be the voice of the people? For the record, I also disagreed with Sen Obama’s assessment that Sen McCain backed away from amnesty – I believe as POTUS, he will attempt it again.
So true. And a more earthly analogy is the Catholic Church’s position on communion which is you are not allowed to take communion unless you are Catholic. In other words, even the pro-illegal Catholic Church supports the idea of (spiritual) fences.
Yup, DL, there’s a lot of things to question McCain on, but he was a genuine war hero.
It’s what he has done in his political career since then that’s fair game.
Now, about Kerry’s PHs – I’ve heard that self-inflicted fingernail scratches can be quite debilitating!
“Somebody really needs to tell Juan McLame; even God has an immigration policy. Just being one of Gods children doesn’t mean you get to immigrate in to heaven. What you think the pearly gate is just there for decoration.”
Actually, SPCOly, I think many – if not most – churches have that policy, at least in my experience. When I visit a church I don’t partake unless the pastor/minister has okayed it beforehand.
Of course, I don’t attend “anything goes” churches (i.e. liberal PACs), so who knows what they do!
Wait a minute, I have to stop you here. Are you saying Kerry scratched himself ON PURPOSE? To get himself a purple heart? He scratched himself ON PURPOSE? ANSWER ME. Answer the question. Did he scratch himself ON PURPOSE? Who said that? Where are you getting your information??
(Keith Olberman would be so proud of me right now)
It’s a beautiful sunny, warm day here in south Texas. I had my granddaughter last night for a “sleepover”.
Yesterday I exercised my 2nd Amendment right and went out and got an S&W. On Independence day weekend my son and I are taking a CHL class.
The flag is flying on the front of the house.
God Bless America the greatest country on earth.
Now I’m going out and enjoy the day.
Have a nice day everyone.
purplepeep
Agreed … I also have two PHs … but had we known about people like Kerry … and that they were giving them out that easily … my Marine buddies and I should have averaged at least 1 a week … I guess all the cuts, bruises, cracked ribs and such we all got almost daily didn’t count …
This is the most idiotic statement ever on this site concerning McCain. He’s in his 70s and can’t lift his arms over his head (presumably from “capitulating” according to this poster) but I bet he could still kick your a$$.
There are things not to like about his politics, but as a war vet, he’s the real deal.
DL, you need to have implanted rice grains in your butt with the help of a CIA operative…
BTW, I stand and salute you for your service, and thank you.

Congrats on the new gun. I’m waiting to hear more reviews on Ruger’s new super compact LCP. As a woman, I have difficulty pulling the slide back on semi automatic pistols, so have to rely on revolvers, but I hope someone will pass on info on how difficult it is to pull the slide on the new Ruger.
Anyone have info on that?
How low can ya go….For perennial gasbag and p**sy Weasel(y) Clark..he is trying to hit bottom for the dim-ocrats…
“I don’t think [John McCain] getting in a fighter plane and getting shot down is a qualification to become president.”
Ad Hominem moronic attacks like this will only allow Repubs unhappy with McCain to circle the wagons around the Repub candidate…

yeah … heard about Kerry and the rice in the butt deal … but what was the second one for? …
DL,
I had heard, but cannot remember the source, that it was self-inflicted hand grenade that had fallen from his deuce gear while he was running to a helicopter. I’ll do some quick “genius research” and provide a link.
I don’t remember which embedded reporter said this after spending time with our military people and learning how selfless and brave they are but he said with tears in his eyes:
Where do we get these kinds of people.
How very very true. My grandson calls them soljy boys, I say God bless our Soljy boys.
And getting shot up by a VC soldier does? Sheesh…
DL,
My memory failed. It was shrapnel from his own grenade fired from his M-79, according to the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth.
…
Yup. One of my older bros served in USA 101st Air Cav and received a PH after an encounter with the business end of a punji stick in VN. He mended there and finished his tour of duty.
Love2rumba
I thank you on behalf of Allen. every little bit counts. He is a remarkable man and we would all benefit from having more like him in Congress.

When I googled that the next 2 paragraphs that came up in the story were:
Look, I am going to vote for McCain because he won’t snatch defeat out of the jaws of victory in Iraq and will work to win in Afghanistan. Obama would be a disaster for the USA on so many levels.
That said, we need to get organized to insist that we will not accept any broad type of amnesty. (I am not opposed to allowing people in the military or the like pathways to citizenship. I imaging that most people here have their own criteria for who the would toss out and who have proven themselves worthy of becoming an American.
We are up against people who take to the streets to express their will. “Our” side grumbles on the internet and talks about how we can undermine ourselves.
I have no doubt that it will be harder to stop an amnesty program under Obama then McCain. But if no one is willing to do anything but complain on the internet then it isn’t going to get stopped at all.
That’s another thing, the last time Mac ran for president the DNC sent people to Hanoi to dig up dirt on him from the bastards who were kicking his teeth in. Can you get any lower?
Just to muse about it, if anything McCain’s POW experience made him more conservative. The sacrifice, the “small acts of kindness” of the POWs towards each other, his new-found attitude of serving a “cause greater than one’s self-interest”.

This Californian supports men and women of honor from any state…their VOTES affect us ALL!!!
This is why I will vote against Obama.
While I want a secure border, and want illegals sent packing, I fear Islamofascism and creeping Sharia more than anything else for this country.
Obama has openly stated his sympathy for Muslims – Muslims in this country who rejoiced on 9/11, and who have yet to uniformly denounce the terrorist attacks against America by their fellow religionists.
Jon Brodin
Thanks for the reminder … amazing though that he doesn’t seem to have any noticeable residual effects from that grenade explosion … unless you make the assumption that it scrambled whatever brains he may have had …

My thanks to your brother for his service … those damned punji sticks were vicious reminders of how careful we had to be in the jungles … they were everywhere …

Thanks … I thought that was what I actually heard on Fox News yesterday when they were reporting on the days activities for McCain and Obama with the latino groups …
I just didn’t have any other reference to pass on to Bob when he posted that earlier …
So China is against UN action to punish Zimbabwe and that scam of a president? Wow, I used “UN” and “action” in the same sentence!
“The most pressing path is to stabilize the situation in Zimbabwe,” Yang Jiechi told reporters at a news conference with Rice. “We hope the parties concerned can engage in serious dialogue to find a proper solution.”
Well, that’s just great Einstein, but do you think Mugabe and his thugs know what dialogue is, other than violence against anyone who disagrees or challenges him?
“Yang stuck to a position that China, one of Zimbabwe’s chief friends and trading partners, long has held.”
Ok, that explains it all.
And China is hosting the Olympics, why? Good luck to the athletes (don’t spend money unnecessarily while you are there or buy into their propaganda), but I’m boycotting the coverage. I hope others consider doing the same.
I am reading Fleeced by Dick Morris. Very well researched. Highly recommend reading before voting for POTUS.
ALL humans are God’s children, aren’t they? Should we just make all humans U.S. citizens right now, and save the platitudes? What an assinine statement.
behiker …
I have not watched a single event in the Olympics since they took the television contract away from ABC …
ABC used to broadcast all hours of the day and night and we saw everything live … remember getting up in the middle of the night to watch the USA athletes in action … now it is nothing but taped events and most of the TV time is spent in useless non-sports related contrived stories made up by the broadcasters … it’s trash personified …
The Global Poverty Act (S.2433) scares me more than just about anything Obama’s said in his campaign or introduced as a bill. I pulled the story last week from AmericanThinker.com and sent it out to my entire address book. I have also written every senator I could think of. I urge you to either pull a copy of the bill or the article and get it out this week. Then, badger your friends if you have to to get their attention. This is a clear assault to place the United Nations in a position to tax and control portions of the earnings of U.S. citizens.
DesertLover..
Absolutely! ABC and Jim McKay knew how to do it. I guess that does explain why my enthusiasm for viewing it has dropped off, too. And of course, Katie Couric’s sappy, touching, stories about some obscure athlete made me want to gag.
It also made me mad how they would focus on specific athletes to build them up as unbeatable only to watch them fail miserably. Then instead of telling us more about the winner, we had to suffer through endless discussions about why their darling didn’t win. Hmmm… kinda like they do for certain presidential candidates; ignore all but the anointed ones.
You & Melanie both earned some R&R.
Thank you!
behiker
yep … Couric, Costas and Gumbel … that’s enough to ruin anybody’s sports appetite …
Don’t believe that was Kerry. That was another of the Democrat “war heroes”, I think Cleland.
Kerry’s third was a “contusion”, I believe received while he was out of sight of everybody on his boat, during an action when another boat in front of him hit a mine. Some say it was the sort of thing you’d get if you, say, swung your arm against a bulkhead or something. Democrats say, of course, that Kerry’s wounds were all legitimate slivers, and we should just get off his case.
Did anyone else see this story from Time/CNN: Civilian Victims in Mexico’s Drug War
Saturday, Jun. 28, 2008 By IOAN GRILLO/SANTIAGO DE LOS CABALLEROS
Several paragraphs in i read:
“Not all Mexicans, however, have rallied round this defense of their military from the interfering gringos. ”
So how is it they get away with calling white americans gringos?
Well i sent them an email – hope others will also.
Democrats say they only plan to raise taxes on the rich in a bid to get lower income voters to support them. Then they get into office and end up raising taxes on everyone. The liberals in the mainstream media never point out this contradiction, and I think I know why. They are speaking from a “global” perspective, which means that even the poorest Americans are rich in comparison. So taxing the “rich” means taxing anyone who makes over a $1 a day.
Obama wants to wage a global war on poverty and he plans to get the money from “rich” Americans to pay for it (see #15). And believe me, this is one war the Democrats won’t mind waging for a hundred years or longer…
And this is how lies get spread…have you read the bill or do you just go by what American Thinker and WorldNetDaily tell you?
TheOtherSide#75 – actually I have. But, then I’m one of those that read anything I can get my hands on – especially cereal boxes and milkcartons. Please tell me your thoughts on this bill and why you think it is good for taxpayers? Have you read it and do you support it?
DesertLover #30, all I know is name, rank, and serial number (capitulating as McSwish did is extra circular). I just wanted to satisfy my military vulnerabilities while completing my education. Got a honorable discharge from the Marine Corps for my effort and an OCS offer but I just wanted to be a private citizen, works for me. Anyway, thanks for the spelling lesson: metal – any of a class of elementary substances, as gold, silver, or copper, all of which are crystalline when solid and many of which are characterized by opacity, ductility, conductivity, and a unique luster when freshly fractured… medal – a flat piece of metal, often a disk but sometimes a cross, star, or other form, usually bearing an inscription or design, issued to commemorate a person, action, or event, or given as a reward for bravery, merit, or the like: a gold medal for the best swimmer. I’m a terrible speller.

Navy Awarded McCain Medals For Valor Without Required Eyewitnesses
While a prisoner of war, McCain was treated as a “special prisoner,” with privileges including being given his own private and affectionate nurse.
On June 29th, 2008 at 1:19 pm,
From page 44, the dissenting opinion.
Try to wrap your head around that one.
When it comes to reducing carbon emissions, Al Gore says that
“Washington should lead by example…”, but as a true believer and Washington insider, shouldn’t Al Gore lead Washington by example?
You’d think it wouldn’t be that hard for a motivated millionare to get his carbon emissions down to say two or three times that of the average American, especially since Gore claims that the average American uses more energy than anyone else. I guess he’s not all that concerned for his childrens’ future (or he doesn’t really believe his own hype.)
Next time a Democrat says we shouldn’t do any more drilling because we need to get off oil, ask a simple question: “Have YOU stopped using oil?”
If they’re still using oil products, how can they ask the rest of us to stop using them? When they can successfully live without oil, then they can claim that the country is ready to “get off oil” and not before. Please lead the way, Democrats!
Let’s drill for oil better than anyone, and refine it better than anyone. We can do it, Let’s do it. Yes we can!

I appreciate you clarifying your service and respectfully offer a personal apology from a fellow former Marine regarding your understanding the POW rules …
However … it was not McCain himself that revealed his military family connections … they found out on their own and that is when they started showing the videos of him making like he was getting cared for … just like we knew the names of all of their upper military commanders they knew the names of ours …
if you will take the time to read the accounts from his fellow POWs you will find that he went for many months after capture being abused by his captors and getting no medical care whatsoever … withholding treatment was one of the ways they tried to make him talk … it was after they discovered his potential progaganda value that he finally got some treatment … all of his broken bones and that lack of earlier medical treatment resulted in his no being able to raise his arms all the way up to shoulder level and why he walks with a limp … he ran a fever for months and all the other POWs thought for sure he was going to die there …
Check it out please …
bit_boy …
OK … I went to your links …
I would like to suggest that you check out your sources better before you quote them here … both of them are the result of a person known for dubious stories …
The second link used the first link as the reference for his comments … with no other references to substantiate the story …
The first link is on a site run by one Ted Sampley … he is a well know kook with a well deserved reputation for spreading false stories and claims with references to documentation and sources that seem real but are not … the story he was referencing on his US Veterans Dispatch site was one of his own stories that was originally put out on another site …
As a matter of fact … I believe that Ted Sampley’s name was part of a story right here within the last week or two … or else it was referenced in one of the links posted with the story … but, alas, I was unable to locate it to identify it for you … perhaps See-DuBya or Michelle can help me out and identify the right thread for you to go back and check out …
Take care …
Sampley right here.
Thanks See-dubya … I just couldn’t remember which thread it was on … see … some of us really do read everything you and Michelle post … including the links …
This is good for a quick chuckle.
This one’s good too.
I was just reading So Tell Us Obama, Who Sent You over at the American Thinker site. WOWZER !! The comments section is even better than the article.
I keep saying any politition from Chicago Illinois is suspect. Americans better wake up. Polititions from Illinois are corrupt from top to bottom. In my dreams another IL. Govenor is about to bite the dust and hopefully take this so called Senator with him.
see-dubya …
yep … you’re right … a couple of chuckles in there …
swmbo #88 – shhhhh, don’t tell theotherside #75 on this thread….I was chastized for reading American Thinker – and, oh gast, World Net Daily (which I didn’t reference as a source nor do I read?) as being somewhat gullible. Interestingly, he/she has not come back to tell me why they think that source is unreliable, nor the story I referenced was bogus.
U.S. Capitol, Remodel Completed
Good one Blind_Mule
I posted the world net daily article just for insight. On other sites no Obama supporter will touch this topic.
And that is just likely to cost him the Presidency. He really let he alligator mouth over rule his grasshopper a$$ on that one.
ArizonaNeanderthal
Bob was not completely correct in what he quoted …
check Bill Grant in #57 … that reflects what I saw and heard when Fox reported it on the air …
another one of those Paul Harvey “rest of the story” moments … incomplete quote from the MSM … sort of like the 100 years in Iraq quote … parse parse parse … then parse some more until the quote fits your agenda …
Amnesty is completely UNACCEPTABLE with or without secure borders.
No AMNESTY for illegals… no… not ever…
And a question, just how is McCain going to secure the borders within 100 days so he can get his blasted “comprehensive immigration reform” passed in 100 days? What a crock!
Now Joy…your’re just getting upset about a sovereignty issue…:-)
We have two parties here –the far left -socialist Democrat Party and the slippery left- sliding Republican Party.
I agree with you _NO MORE>>>>
