I see them everyday and actually all look very healthy. In my opinion they want a ride on the easy USA streets. It doesn't take a lot of time to get a non-immigrant H-2 visa, actually it is a quick process. They come in for six months (legally) as a guest worker and then they go back home. I don't have pity on them, because to me it seems that they don't want to bother with the process.

Barack HUSSEIN Obama is currently demanding that John Tanner, the head of the Justice Department's Voting Rights Division be fired because he made a statement with which Barack Hussein disagrees.

Specifically, Mr. Tanner cited a Justice Department study that disproved the Liberal myth that requiring voters to present some form of valid ID would somehow disadvantage 'minority voters' (the real reason the Left opposes laws requiring voters to present valid ID's is because they realize that, without voter fraud, they can't win elections).

After presenting the results of the study, Mr. Tanner commented that the only group that was found to be disadvantaged by these laws were the elderly and that, since Caucasians generally live longer, if anything, more Caucasians would be disadvantaged by such a law.

Regardless of whether you agree or disagree with Mr. Tanner’s conclusions, his observations were based on a valid study and were well reasoned.

Personally, I find his behavior on just starting another war based on this to be a bit DISTURBING:

http://politicalwhispers.blogspot.com/2007/10/world-war-iii-is-going-to-be-hilarious.html

Is he going to keep laughing and joking when tens of thousands more die from his latest attempt to start another illegal war?

Yep.

But then, I am reminded when he looked under the table in 2002 and joked: "Nope! No WMDs under here!"

Our President has no shame.

He must think that EVERYTHING is one big joke to him:

People dying, people suffering, people living in misery...?

As we have seen in Pakistan, even the democratically elected people conspire to topple democracy...Is democracy impossible when the nation is mostly Islamic?

hint: it has to do with their policies of the last 8 years and some chickens that will come home to roost, and how they want to be the party out of power and being critical of the democrats when the you know what hists the fan. and how they want to come back and blame it all on democrats.

I'm had fellow Democrats tell me that Communism hasn't ever been done successfully. While I like the idea of individuals cooperating for the greater good, the lack of freedom and the Human Rights violations of Stalin and his Ilk, and as portrayed by Orwell, make me dead-set against Communism and Socialism. What do you think?

The poor are already taxed practically to death. We just want to spend less on wars and prisons, and more on things that matter, like schools and hospitals. Besides, when has a Republicans successfully lowered the spending budget?

I am currently owed almost $40,000 in back support from my ex. I have been working with my local enforcement division and supportkids and have gotten no where. He has fled the state and my local office has sent information to the state he resides in...but still nothing. It has been about 7 years now and the arrears just keep adding up. He keeps getting away without paying a dime for his child. His license was suspended but given back to him. He had a warrant issued and this was vacated last year, why I do not know? He has been working under the table and he receives SSI payments. I was told his SSI could not be attached. I have been giving these agencies their information regarding addresses and etc. He is listed as a registered sex offender in the state he resides, he did jail time there. I went to the offender website and got his new address, gave it to supportkids and the local agency, still nothing!! They say they call him...he's not going to answer their calls. I Need Help

According to Qu'ranic teachings and the hadiths, Arab existence prior to the advent of Islam (in the 7th Century AD) is termed a time of darkness and infidelity (jahilya---I think this is the right spelling). Anything that transpired during this Arabic dark age is considered irrelevant to the history of the Muslim community (ummah).
If that is so, than how do claims of Muslim precedence in the area gain acceptability? Sure, Muslims gained control of Jerusalem and parts of modern Israel between the 10th-12th Centuries, but the Jewish tribes were there long before and were only 'dissolved' in 70 AD by the Roman Empire.
Muslims cannot have it both ways. Either Islam reigns pure and they have no primary claim to Israel, or this Qu'ranic declaration must be ignored.........thus ignoring Allah.

Or are you just a gaggle of word twisting Leftist spin machines? (you know who you are, statistics)

Just because you don’t ignore a threat, it does not imply that you fear said threat.

I would submit that the complete opposite is most correct in that, if you stick your head in the sand it is you who fear the threat.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. — Former Gov. John G. Rowland was sentenced to a year in prison and four months of house arrest Friday for selling his office in a corruption scandal that destroyed his career as one of the Republican Party's brightest and fastest-rising stars.

"I let my pride get in my way," the three-term Republican told U.S. District Judge Peter Dorsey.

Thank God for this man.

Think of what life would be like without him.
Think of how worst our budget would be in much deeper deficits, and how much higher our gas prices would be without him, and how much more hatred there would be for the USA without him, and how we would be headed for a depression without him, and how the middle east would so much more unstable and dangerous without him...and I would hate to think how many countries Iran would have invaded by now if it was not for Bush.
