Personally, I'm hoping McCain runs... he da man and sort of plays neutral ground between Republican and Democrat even though he's Republican by name.

I remember when this happened it made national news like once or twice and then nothing, my question is why hasn't OUR elected officials (supposed leaders) done anything about this, why haven't they demanded answers from the corrupt mexican government??? This whole incident seems to have been swept under the rug...does anyone have the follow up story on this?? And what do you think these men were up to?? I'm thinking drug related, but who knows......maybe something more sinister??

After reading many post's in here you'd think every American won the lotto and mainly we all sit at home while illegals do every job there is. First it was Jobs Americans want do. Now we see illegals doing jobs, Americans do, like building homes sure haven't seen the price of homes go down, jobs shipped to Mexico hasn't stopped the flow or kept prices that low. It seems all the illegals want to do is shove out every American turn American into another Mexico after trashing it move on to the next country. Why is America's job to take care of Mexico's problems. Who was doing all these jobs before these illegals showed up. What happen to the major index of illegals in 1986 are they now too lazy to? Are the illegals simply brain washed in thinking the country will go under without them? It seems they are all takers and not givers and only want to gloss over how it's impossible for any American to load up the dish washer,cut grass, carry out garabge.ENOUGH IS ENOUGH FIX YOUR OWN COUNTRY

everyone says support the troops. Why are they so needy. No one says support eachother, or "I support my family", so why are the troops so special?

Take a glass. Put a couple of ice cubes in it (ice caps). Fill it with water to the brim (the sea). When the ice melts, you will find that the water level hasn't risen. Why? Well, why does ice float? There is air in it. When the ice melts, the air is realesed. Making room for the ice to expand without making the water level rise. My idea my be wrong, but, it might not.

A couple goes on vacation to a fishing resort in north Minnesota. The husband likes to fish at the crack of dawn. The wife likes to read.
One morning the husband returns after several hours of fishing and takes a nap. Although not familiar with the lake, the wife decides to take the boat out. She motors out a short distance, anchors, and continues to read her book.
Along comes a game warden in his boat. He pulls up and says, "Good morning Ma'am. What are you doing?"
"Reading a book," she replies, (thinking isn't that obvious?)
"You're in a restricted fishing area," he informs her.
"I'm sorry officer, but I'm not fishing, I'm reading."
"Yes, but you have all the equipment. I'll have to take you in and write you up."
"If you do that, I'll have to charge you with sexual assault," says the woman.
"But I haven't even touched you," says the game warden.
"That's true, but you have all the equipment."
MORAL: Never argue with a woman who reads. It's likely she can also think.

As more and more states work on/pass legislation to 'turn off the magnet', what's your position on illegal immigration, specifically from Mexico?

Are those pillow-biters in Bush's fan club today the abuse cases of yesteryear? Was their ability to love beaten out of them?And why do never see a stunningly gorgeous conservative?

And I still say what set Rush Limbaugh off was his physical envy towards Bill Clinton in 1992.
I didnt mention ONE of my political views.Don't tell me what I think.

Anybody notice that mostly Republicans need artificial life pumped in to their units (i.e. Bob Dole, Rush Limbaugh). I think Democrats probably have better sex lives...

Terorists murder innocents on purpose. That is different than "collateral damage". Very different. Regardless of Noam Chomasky;s opinion. My question (to Muslims and nonbelievers alike) is: Are "peaceful" Muslims under a moral obligation to stop the terrorists to the best of their ability or at the very least to speak out forcefully against them? If they simply retreat into silence, are they not in collusion with the murderers?

people that jump fences get shot at.

Is it illegal for a company to hire someone, then fire them 2 weeks later for the back ground check. Even if the application says nothing about misdemeanors, it only asks about felonies. He doesn't have any felonies but he has a few misdemeanors?? Legal or not?

I heard people are the main cause of environmental problems in the world.
I saw a bumper sticker that said "Save the World, Kill Yourself!"
I think it is from the evironmentalist group, Church of Euthanasia.

Is it my right leaning political views? is it my stunning looks? My obvious wit and charm? The fact I think George Bush has done a fantastic job and she is just envious? What other reason could it be...or is it for me to pay for her stomach staple surgery?

Why is it that both parties have ads that specifically target hispanics, blacks, asians, but none that target whites? Why are there advocacy groups for all racial groups but whites, and how come Latino activist or black activist are invited on tv and respected, but a white activist is immediately denounced and called a racist? Just for fun I've been taking articles about non white groups in the paper and changed them to white, and it sounds really funny.

Considering that whites make up an extremely small % of the world's population, and that even in their own countries they are becoming smaller and smaller % of the country, shouldn't there be groups that stand up for them just as every other racial group has representation?

The latest thing is an attempt to stop internet gambling. As stated in most newspapers, this is a naked attempt by a Republican Senator to appeal to the conservative/Christian vote. If you don't like gambling, don't do it, but it's absurd to try to legistlate morality like this. It seems that all stupid, crazy legistlation is done to appeal to Christian/Conservative voters. Making gay marriage illegal, making flag-burning illegal, making gambling illegal, it's all so silly! Why can't they just mind their own business and let people live their own lives? Why is the only personal freedom they care about the freedom to own machine guns with armor-piercing bullets? WHY?
