Wouldn't you want to come here if even to haul s*** in a bucket?


If we let every brown who wanted to come into this country, this country would be no different than the one they left. I hope you don't mind paying for those emergency room visits. I personally will never be able to afford the emergency room, as long as I want to keep my credit. And because the browns are clogging up those emergency rooms, normal working people have to develop their own after hours clinic to have an emergency room they too can use.

I respect what the browns do, but I wish they'd start controlling their population and clean up their own countries instead of just rushing the doors of ours. It really does drive down our standard of living, and we really don't have any choice about it. That's why it's called reconquistar.

Republican populism just amounts to demonizing educated people. They're still not doing anything for blue collar Bobs and Barbaras. Everything the GOP does it does for the ultra-rich.

Newt doesn't have a chance - too many sexual skeletons. In a bad economy Romney might win, but unless the recovery totally stalls, it will be Obama again. There doesn't seem to be much difference between Romney and Obama, though.

That line of reasoning is why a lot of otherwise conservative people told me they were democrats. That was a thought I was inculcated with. Perhaps you might have information to back it up since obviously I'm sure if it involves the ultra rich, it would have to be done in secret with no transparency.

From my perspective, everything democrats do, they do for the ultra poor (poor on paper). For people like myself, making $40k-$100k and watching medicaid children get dental care they can't afford to provide their children, that's definitely a strike against Obama democrats. It's simply not fair.

Yeah, I'm afraid you're right on that as well. I understand that you have to play the middle to get elected. Do you think Romney will go back left like he was in Mass. if he gets elected. I don't think he would, but I don't believe that a change in party ever changes much.

I agree that Democrats aren't much better. Typically both the GOP and Democratic candidates are financed by many of the same ultra-rich and powerful backers. That should tell us something.

I believe Romney would move left again if elected. I think that's who he is, but he has to play right to get the GOP nomination right now.

It's becoming attractive to blue collar, white (sometimes even black) working class voters." For this reason, Newt Gingrich is viewed as a solid conservative in that he will protect the rights of working middle class people.



This spin will need constant reinforcement with Talking Points®. Fox will play along but I hope there is sufficient renumeration for all those bloggers.

The tea party movement made me believe that the GOP pendulum was moving to the far right, but seeing how Romney is getting a large share of votes in Iowa and NH I would assume that the pendulum is moving back toward the middle. Problem is Republicans still refuse to work with Democrats and Democrats still refuse to work with Republicans. Had our founding fathers known what it would be like in this day and age, I am sure they would have done something a little differently. But then again, I was always led to believe that God was the real architect of this country and this form of government.

Actually it was the anti-mormon James Bond that started the "so-called" racism.

Of course, it wasn't really racism, it was simply skin tone designation.
