Bush and the Rep's have failed on so many levels, is their only strategy now to blame all the nation's problems on poor, uneducated, hard-working Mexicans who came here to find a better life -- just like our grandparents did?

This authorizes 700 miles of fencing and "includes:


-- $1.2 billion for border fencing, vehicle barriers, technology and infrastructure


-- $2.77 billion for the Border Patrol, adding 1500 new Border Patrol agents, for a total of 14,800


-- $1.38 billion for ICE custody operations, adding 6700 detention beds, for a total of 27,500

-- Provision criminalizing the creation of tunnels to illegally cross the U.S. borders. This legislation, H.R. 4830, passed the House on September 21 by a 422-to-0 margin and was authored by Rep. David Dreier "

I guess it's official that Bush is signing, because Sensenbrenner and others are calling a press conference.

Do you think it's a step in the right direction?

Last nite I saw a question on answers stating all Republicans are child molesters. I know of one Democratic congressmen (who is still there) who is gay and was found to have used page boys & his driver to pimp for him . Allthe Democrates did was make him stand before the House & promise not to do it again. This happened 20 years ago.At least the Republican resigned,

If I was parked in a parking space on a parking lot and my car was smashed by a reckless driver who did not stop by sped recklessly away and I called the CHP 911 cops to make a report of the damage and how it occured. I was emotional as a few weeks ago I survived a head-on collision by another car over a 30 foot cliff that totalled my car and the police reported it was not my fault at all
but the other driver's: so I told the COPS why I was such a nervous wreck about this damage to the rental car and I wanted a report. They accused me of lying and blaming the damage on innocent people and said I was too upset to not be drunk. They questioned me over and over and arrested me for medication in my purse which I had mixed in 1 bottle. They arrested me but I had no alcohol in my system as they insulted and accused me. Then since I was too upset to pee they took my blood and I did have marijuana since I smoked it days ago and some meth because I drank it in coffee given me.

Please be respect of our "president" in your replies.

He is obviously having difficulty mastering the related concepts of (1)Waging War So As To Win One--ANY One of Them, (2) Having Enough Military To Say That There Actually Is a War Since Wars Require Opposing Sides, (3) Keeping the Variety and Number of Your Enemies Under Control So You Can Defeat Somebody--ANYBODY--At Some Point in Time and Make it Stick, (4) Not Spend So Much that the Economy Looks Like A Muffin the Dog Sat On After Mouthing It A Few Times, (5) Keeping One's Political Party Alive At Mid-Term Elections When the WHOLE WORLD Hates You, (6) Getting Somebody, ANYBODY, to Listen to Your Speeches Even When the Audience has been Hired from Rent-A-Crowd Corporation, and (7) Wondering What Kind of Devilment The Israelis Are Going to Pull Off Next.

So, the topic is our national leader--the best our political system produces to lead us. Do you think he is upping the ante in hopes of regaining all his losses to date?

If you are a LEGAL immigrant, don't you get angry at others who just snuck in and got away with it? Don't you feel angry that you spent time, money, and effort to come here the right way...and then watched as others get away with don't things the wrong way. That is not fair to you and me that illegals can break laws and we would go to jail for breaking any law.

As compassionate as the US is and as much as we try to keep up that good guy image, there has to be a reason we allow the Mexicans to invade by millions and all the crime passing in from their country.

please get it through your skulls that Clinton or his policies was by no means the reason for the economic boom in the 90's.
"Bill Clinton has had to face a world vastly different from the one his predecessors knew. The end of the Cold War has left the United States in a position of unprecedented preponderance. America's economy is 40 percent larger than that of its nearest rival, and its defense spending equals that of the next six countries combined. Four of these six countries are close U.S. allies, so America's advantage is even larger than these figures suggest. The United States leads the world in higher education, scientific research, and advanced technology (especially information technologies), which will make it hard for other states to catch up quickly. This extraordinary position of power will endure well into this century.

My friend Pat and I are die-hard Republicans and he thinks this is one we should go with to show that we really are compassionate individuals. I'm not so sure it will fly but thought I'd throw it up the flagpole here to see what the other party nutjobs might have to add to the mix.

The age of consent in Washington DC is 16. Is it inappropriate to run around calling Foley a pedophile? Is this controversy partly because he's homosexual?

After the Foley scandal it's more obvious than ever that this is the predominant opinion. Even just one sexually explicit instant message from an adult to an adolescent minor can mean jailtime. Being virtually solicited for sex can scar such a "child" forever. But why don't people give a damn about bullying, violence and other forms of abuse that are commonplace in schools and households? Physical and/or mental abuse by peers of age can be equally scarring to a young personality. It can go unnoticed for ages, also because it's often perceived as normal.

I don't intend to downplay Foley's acts, but I can't help wondering why the public opinion is so blind.

I just finished watching the news, and Snow, O'Reilly, and others have blamed Clinton for this newly acquired scandal of Foley. All I heard was, "well, what about Bill Clinton..."

The thing that Cons don't understand is that they were the ones who had set the standard when it comes to this kind of issues, and the only thing that I'm asking for them is to take responsibility for their actions and for their stance.

This issue about Foley has nothing to do with Bill Clinton. Why don't they get that?
