Okay, the illegal immigrants are breaking the law--and you say they ALL should be punished (by deportation or whatever)--so you oppose any amnesty.

NOW--there are hundreds of thousands of people--businesspeople, managers, etc. who have ALREADY hired illegals and so broken the law. And note--we're nottalking about future violations--jsut the ones who are already guilty of hiring illegals.

The question: do you want EVERY ONE of these criminals to ALSO be punished--by jail, fines, or whatever legal penalties apply? ALL of them--including those who are otherwise law-abidig. No exptenuating circumstances, no consideration of the effect on their families--no matter who they are?

If your answer isn't an unqualified YES--then I submit you are being a hypocrite.

Or does he get to choose based on what is convenient?

"Dick Cheney... is asserting that his office is not actually part of the executive branch."
http://www.boston.com/news/nation/washington/articles/2007/06/22/cheney_asserts_hes_part_of_the_legislative_branch/

"the Administration claimed executive privilege in substance while blocking disclosure of what was discussed during meetings of Vice President Dick Cheney's taskforce on energy"
http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,1601450,00.html

Do you think he should be considered part of the executive branch? or the legislative branch? Both? Neither?

I'm confused. I thought that the whole point of electing a government was that the elected government was the party in power. Yet it seems that most political matters are delegated not just by the government, but by parliament as a whole.

If the Conservative and Liberal Democrat (and other) parties are not in power, why do they have a say in the House of Commons?

I then assume you think the 3 Republicans who were visiting during the exact same time should also be charged with treason?

"It's interesting because three of our colleagues, who are all Republicans, were in Syria yesterday and I didn't hear the White House speaking out about that," Pelosi said, referring to the meeting that Representatives Frank Wolf, Joe Pitts, and Robert Aderholt had with Syrian President Bashar Assad in Damascus on Sunday.

Ann Coulter is a political analyst and satireist. Thats her job, she's writes about politics and the players involved. Newspapers print her commentary along with many other political commentators who are left leaning like Arainna Huffinton and Goerge Steiner. Its like Hollywood asking Siskel and Ebert not to criticize anymore of their movies.
With the BBC recently admiting leftist leaning tendencies and a Gallop poll proving that only 1/5 of reporters lean Republican, Whats is Elizabeth Edwards crying about?

Almost any job you get these days requires that you take a drug test. Shouldn't the aristocracy (i.e. Congress) be subject to the same rules?

Would you support a law to require drug-testing our elected officials say every 6 months?

(a) 1.7 Billion tax dollars went to a no bid contract given to Halliburton -- {no bid contracts are illegal by the way }Dick Cheney's former company.
(b) $12,000,000,000 in cash was flown to Iraq using military C-130 planes. 363 tons of shrink wrapped $100 were flown there. BTW no one knows where the money is or if it was spent on the right things.
(c) This is according to a Government Accountability Office report released February 13, 2006.[1] "The Administration spent $1.6 billion on contracts with advertising agencies ($1.4 billion), public relations firms ($197 million), and media organizations and individual members of the media ($15 million)."[2] Gullible taxpayers are inadvertently paying the price of their own deception

There is of course more but it's both depresses and angers me to continue.

There are a lot of things that would have me labled an Ultra Conservative, and other things I believe would make me be called a Liberal. I truly believe i am what some people would call a Libertarian... Should I just start my political manifesto here on YA and go from there? I am sure there are others out there with my political views...

No, I'm not baiting and I am a conservative. But I am constantly in wonder that true conservatives support this party that has stabbed us in the back, sacrificed our sovereignty and just plain doesn't listen to it's constituency. I am amazed. Is it because no one feels there is another viable party?

Obviously this man doesn't care what anyone thinks of him.
But the extremes he goes to.
Like claiming the V.P. office is not part of the executive branch.
Seriously, do you think this guy has a real personality disorder.
I have been around people who do, and they do sometimes act out in narcissistic or belligerent ways.
I'm not saying I think he is, but it could be considered.

With Senator Lugar, the leading Republican and Voinovich, a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said in a floor speech that Bush's strategy was not working and have echoed the words that Democrats had been saying for months is the damage already done to the Republican party? Senator Lugar went on to say that the War in Iraq has negatively impacted our National Security and has actually increased the threat to our country. Can the Republican Party Hope to recover from this by November? And even if they could wouldn't that mean them taking the Democratic Party's line and stance on Iraq? So why vote Republican if they are just now saying what Democrats have been saying all along?
p.s. I also saw an interview with Ann Coulture where even she said "as soon as we get this bafoon out of office" referring to George Bush!
