"Old Acid Mouth" :D Should we just call you that from now on?

Rim, with all due respect, I really don't think you did give any reasons when it comes to their positions on the issues. Let me try this another way: If Palin and Bachmann were to come out and say they not only oppose amnesty but they would never support a path to citizenship for those who are here illegally and would in fact deport as many of them as possible, would that change your feelings?

You can call me whatever you want dear, just don't call me late to Happy Hour.

:)

No problem, Rim, I won't belabor the subject. As for this other member, I've known her and am aware of her history. I was just making a joke which she apparently took in good humor.

So how do feel about Herman Cain? Rimo5

Yeah, I would like to know too, but so far all we get are vague regurgitations of Katie Couric type stuff, the stuff the main stream media feeds Joe and Jane sixpack who do not take time to do their own research or become genuinely informed.

I love Sara, she is fearless, that combined with her looks scares the hell out of certain shrinking violet types.

Michelle Bachmann on Illegal Immigration

The United States is a nation founded by immigrants and prides itself on the principles of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Obtaining the “American Dream” is an inherent part of our nation’s spirit and we should encourage those who enter our country legally to achieve it. However, we are also a nation founded on the rule of law and we must ensure U.S. immigration laws are respected and enforced to preserve our national security; protect federal, state, and local budgets; and curb unfair strain on our country’s job markets.

The last time our immigration laws were overhauled was in 1986, when Congress granted amnesty to almost three million illegal immigrants in the U.S. and promised increased border security in the near future. Twenty years later, the number of illegal immigrants in our country has quadrupled, with no end in sight. Rather than repeating the mistakes of our past, I believe Congress must work to secure our nation’s borders and enforce the immigration laws already in place. Once this is achieved, improvements to the current system can be considered.

Those who approach our immigration system legally and work through the established process should be welcomed. However, any proposal for reform must not reward those who choose to break our laws by entering the country illegally.

Quadrupled? That would only be 12 million. Why do politicians and the media always low-ball the real number?

Phil most of those graduating from high school these days can't do the math, literally can't do the math. So politicians can pull out any numbers they want and most wouldn't know the difference.
