Politics & Government - 25 June 2007

My fiance was on a work visa and it ran out at the end of April. He had a 60 day grace period to try and figure out a way to stay.
His Mom spoke to one of the senators that works with the president and he told my fiance to stay and he would help us out and get his greencard through the system faster (it is supposed to be processed October 2008).
The thing is, we just had a baby on May 24 who is an American citizen (we are both British and I am not yet a citizen).
This senator didn't get back to us so we called and he said that he never told my fiance to stay and is calling us liars.
His Mom has already petitioned for him to stay three years ago and he can't get a work visa or anyone to sponsor him.
Now, he has to go back to England on June 30, which is only 5 days away. We have done everything right and not broken the law and nobody will help us. There illegal immigrants who are getting greencards and they dont deserve them and my family is being torn apart... is this fair??

The fact that Clinton's congress also had the Democrat rule,
is this a factor that may contribute to the Republicans strengths in leadership.

Who is in favor of replacing the income tax with the Fair Tax? As far as I am concerned, it could not possibly happen too soon!

I called the police on some hippies smoking drugs in a van by the park. So the police showed up and arrested the scum. The very next day, I see the same hippies again, walking around scott free!

Later I find out, the judge gave them a suspended sentence! They didn't even have to serve any time. What the heck is the problem? Are our laws too lax, or our prisons too overcrowded? If so then we need to strengthen the laws, increase the penalties, and build more prisons.

Well, do you think Sunni, Shai and Americans deserve the Karma that they have started.

1) For Americans, as we all know how the President Lied a million times to go to War in Iraq, Broke internation Law by Bypassing United Nations. Succesfully completed Money Laundering for Exxon and Halliburton by the Oil in Iraq(The only reason for War). They directly destablized a country where thousands of innocents are dying.
2) I have read the whole Quran and no where did i find Sunni or Shai. It EXPLICITLY said do not divide in sects. Now there own narrow mindedness is well utilized by Americans to Stay in Iraq to steal more Oil even though Saddam is gone.
My QUESTION "Living in 21st century, there is nothing we can do about this", They actually Got away. i.e. Bush , Cheney

Bush is leading the USA further into the actions of a gulag state of terror against the world and its own citizens. No habeus corpus, no rights except those granted by an insane and incompetent president (bush) given counsel by his pet monkey (Gonzales). The USA is the most dangerous laughingstock in the world. It would be pathetic if it was not the greatest destabilizing agent on the planet, led by the greatest most powerful buffoon in its history. BLAME the refined wealthy war hero-coward Kerry for losing to this moron and allowing the USA to spiral downward into the abyss. It will take generations to un-bush the mess that george has brought.

America is no bastian of right wing conformity.Fact.

Bitter conservatives who cannot think for themselves need a bombastic voice to justify their lack of a joyful life.

There is reactioanry radio, but no non-reactioanary talk.

What do most Americans listen to for pholosophiocal inspiration? Rush Limbaugh or the Rolling Stones?

Ten to one:Stones everytime. At least they HAVE stones.

If this crazy idea gets reimplemented. Will Hannity, Rush, Boortz, Medved, Crager, Savage, Ingram, Drudge, Beck, Levin and all the other conservative talk show hosts get equal time on ABC, NBC, CBS, and CNN?

Savage said he would get the best first amendment lawyer he could and get to speak his mind every night on ABC news. Is that what these "We want all sides to be heard" people want?

To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that we are to stand by the president, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public. ~ Theodore Roosevelt

And does Tony Blair have a useful role as an envoy in bringing about such peace? The western backed Palestinian President, Mahmoud Abbas met with the Israeli PM in Egypt today. But at the same time Hamas proved they can still have a powerful effect on the process. They released a statement from the Israeli Corporal Gilad Shalit - the first since he was kidnapped exactly a year ago.
