Why didn't you just address the remarks in my post instead of throwing out a childish insult? Too much truth for ya?

Civil human beings obey laws and don't break them when it hurts others. What part of that aren't you and yours getting? It is just plain selfish on their part. Most Mexicans in particular aren't starving and their unemployment is much lower than ours. Yet they come over here and steal jobs and taxes from Americans. Yet they are held in admiration by you and yours? I guess American families don't count though, right?

Point out just one thing in my post that equates to hate or racism. English is our defacto national language, period! Spanish never was! I see I have a couple more for my ignore list. You start throwing out the race/hate card for no good reason and I am done with you!

The TParty has been assimilated. They are now the same as the rest of GOP and most Dems, owned and beholding to their handlers(special interests).

I agree. Actually, my perspective is that they're battling it out for power with the neo cons, and that the tea party/evangelical right is winning as the dominant end of the party base--they ARE the republican party now. The Ryan pick was the strongest indicator that Romney and his advisers thought he had to take a very far right, extremist turn to win the base. The platform reflects that shift as well. My big concern is that as a common sense conservative, there's nothing conservative about their platform. It's all about huge, intrusive government on social issues, and virtually no government and radical change on economic and budget issues. As a moderate, there's almost nothing there that I can support.

Your comment is very funny, in light of the fact that at least three major speeches were made by Tea Party candidates, Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, and Chris Christie. There may have been others, but those are the ones that come to mind at the moment.

Missed in the MSNBC coverage was a speech by former Obama 2008 Campaign Co-chair, and the man that seconded his nomination for President, Artur Davis. Also missed was the very excellent speech by Mia Love, Mayor of Saratoga Springs, Utah.

I'm sure these were just oversights. Or perhaps they did not want their viewers to here speeches by Republican minorities, lest they destroy the notion that the Republican Party is "racist?

They didn't have to mention the Tea Party, because they were there to speak, and they gave excellent speeches, all of them. Three of them, Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, Chris Christy come to mind right off.

Classy? You mean like when Obama made a joke about the Special Olympics when referring to his bowling ability on the Jay Leno show Helene? Was that classy enough for you?

If Barack Obama were as good a president as his minions claim he is and Romney was as bad as the Obama minions say he is you'd think Obama, as the incumbent, would have a comfortable lead in all of the polls right now. But he doesn't. Nearly all the major polls show a two point race with either Romney or Obama on top. It's basically a statistical dead heat. That combined with the fact that many of these polls have been proven to be oversampling Democrats surely does not bode for Obama as the incumbent.

You need to re direct this thread to the "Immigration" forum where your Xenophobic rants will be appreciated.

This bump will be short-lived once people find out that Mr. Romney has a secret plan, to wit: should he win the presidency he will, via executive order, mandate that every American donate 10 percent of his or her income (excepting capital gains) to churches.

Indeed, 5 percent of said amount MUST go to the Mormon church, while the other 5 percent may go to house of worship of the person's choice.





It is true because you just read it on the Internet.
