Hola Amnesty!
by Jeremy 'Panda Man' Weidenhof · 11/08/2006 7:31 pmWith friends like this, who needs enemies?
Q Thank you, Mr. President. On immigration, many Democrats had more positive things to say about your comprehensive proposal than many Republicans did. Do you think a Democratic Congress gives you a better shot at comprehensive immigration reform?
THE PRESIDENT: You know, I should have brought this up. I do. I think we have a good chance. Thank you. It’s an important issue and I hope we can get something done on it. I meant to put that in my list of things that we need to get done.
Apparently the President also forgot to put leading his Party to continued electoral success on his priority list. But then again, who needs racist, vigilante Republicans when you can just welcome Democrats who want basically the same open borders you do?
I would hope Republicans have recognized that we’ve taken very strong security measures to address one aspect of comprehensive immigration reform. And I was talking to Secretary Chertoff today; he thinks that these measures we’re taking are beginning to have measurable effects, and that catch and release has virtually been ended over the past couple of months. And that’s positive.
Of course, Mr. President. We can all see that the border is virtually secure now and you got so much credit for it that your party did so very well in the elections. Right. Perhaps you should have hired that elephant and mariachi band to sell the achievement.
And that’s what some members were concerned about prior to advancing a comprehensive bill. In other words, they said, show me progress on the border, and then we’d be interested in talking about other aspects. Well, there’s progress being made on the border in terms of security, and I would hope we can get something done. It’s a vital issue. It’s an issue that — there’s an issue where I believe we can find some common ground with the Democrats.
I’ve got a bad feeling about this.
Q What are the odds for a guest worker provision?
THE PRESIDENT: Well, that’s got to be an integral part of a comprehensive plan. When you’re talking comprehensive immigration reform, one part of it is a guest worker program, where people can come on a temporary basis to do jobs Americans are not doing.
Like voting for your party, sir?
I’ve always felt like that would be an important aspect of securing the border. In other words, if somebody is not trying to sneak in in the first place, it makes — decreases the work load on our Border Patrol, and lets the Border Patrol focused on drugs and guns and terrorists. But that’s a — I appreciate you bringing that up. I should have remembered it.
“Keeping your base happy so you win elections? Oh, uh, that’s a–I appreciate you bringing that up. I should have remembered it.”

When President puts his hands on a person’s shoulder in public and states that he is doing a fine job, red flag should go up in that person’s mind.
That should tell him his days are numbered!
Well, Iran, Syria, the terrorists, Vincente Fox, Democrats, etc… will be partying tonight! Hope it’s a whopper of a hangover.

To me, and everyone I know from texas to the Northeast, the number one issue in this election was illegal immigration. Seems the media and Mr. Bush know everyone else, not the people I know. They want to say it was Iraq, because it fits their agenda. And Iraq was an issue, Bush was as incompetent on that as he has been on controlling OUR OWN borders. He didn’t control their borders either. He and Rumsfeld tried to play this game of minimal deployment. Nonsense. If you want to win a war, you do what is necessary — you send the troops over there to close that border and allow Iraqia to choose their own government without interference from other extremist countries. But no, they decided to win it like they decided to win the elections here at home — by leaving borders open. For this family, the fact that they were more worried about Iraq then they were about Texas is the reason they lost.
It is hard to decide whether to laugh or cry when you see the President make comments like this…
“The election has changed many things in Washington, but it has not changed my fundamental responsibility, and that is to protect the American people from attack.”
While halfway around the world….
“Taliban fighters talk tactics - while safe in Pakistan”
“But Hilal says he is the co-leader of 200 Taliban fighters who operate across the border in Afghanistan. “Two years ago, we only attacked Afghan officials, but now we have so many Talibs that we can attack Americans,” he boasts.”
“In a rare interview with a Western reporter, Hilal and three other Afghan Taliban fighters describe how they slip into Afghanistan, attack NATO and Afghan forces, and return to Pakistan to rest.”
“”Everybody in the neighborhood knows we are Talibs,” says Noman, a 19-year-old fighter with a blue-white block-printed turban. “Paki-stan is a little bit free for us.”"

Maybe we should have “mission accomplished” in Afghanistan before we wasted our resources in Iraq.
I trust you all understand the real deal behind “the border situation”.

Look at things in another light and that is the market. The dow, s&p and nasdaq are going to correct no question - only question is how much - retest of ‘02 lows or lower (historic P/E Ratio of 5 to 7 before a bottom. Dow to 4,000 and Nasdaq well to low to estimate. When these puppies start to fall it will be who can get out of the way and push the other party in front of the boulder. Potential causes are an increase interest rates, increasing gas prices ($4/gallon next year), falling dollar, raising taxes, increased government spending, decrease consumer spending or housing market slump. Some business analysis will tell you we are smarter and the markets won’t go that low - sales talk - history dictates policy not salespersons. If the market begins to fall based upon speeches by demos then their agenda will change from all this border and increasing taxes to finding a way to blame then rinos. Remember the market is at an all time high and it ain’t a good time to be taking the resposibility for a downturn in the economy.
Why have we allowed foreigners to enter our country and dictate to us how we are to live and how we are to receive them and provide for them and whatever else they demand of us? How did we lose control and why did we allow it? How can foreigners come into the U.S. and be allowed to remove the American flag and raise their foreign flag to fly in its place? How can our schools participate in this and think it is right? Do they not teach about such things in the classroom and what it means for another country to do this? We are a nation out of control because we the People have allowed it to happen. We have become fat and lazy and have given up. It is time to step up and take our country back from the foreigners and our Government needs to respond. We the People must make a stand. A Nation that continues to create laws without enforcing current laws is a Nation out of control.
Enough is enough is enough.
