Where do you get this notion that democrats are going to do what the "majority" wants?  You need to stop speaking for the "majority" because the majority are nt far-left obsessive Bush haters.

I see you fail to respond to what I said. You are making excuses for democrats just as I said you would when they got some power. Stop speaking for the "majority" because you have no idea what they want. Your hypocrisy has been called out again.


Since POLL after POLL show that 70 % of Americans do not think we are going in the right and only about 24% are registered Democrats, there are a lot more then just Democrats that do not agree with Bush and the GOP! I am not speaking for anyone. The polls clearly show people DO NOT support Bush or the GOP policies! The Election in November 2006 showed the same thing. You will see a repeat of November 2006 in November 2008.

was also good to see the Senate say GO TO HELL BUSH in their vote on his Immigration Bill! This Bill was written by the White House even though Senators like Kennedy and Feinstein supported it!


"you forgot to say that all or almost all of the democrats voted for this bill "


WRONG AGAIN. The Vote was 37 GOP aginst, 15 Democrat aginst and one Independent aginst for a total of 53 aginst. SEE actual vote from the Senate Web Site:

Bush didn't Lie about a need for a guest worker program. Just because there are other programs already, apparently they don't fill the market. I'm all for a guest worker program, but I don't agree with this particular bill. I think all guest worker programs should recruit from the US embassies, and only legal immigrants should be able to apply from the US.


Some people say that Americans will do these jobs, if the pay was better. Well, I know people who can't remember the last time an American even applied for jobs they offer... and they start at $10/hr for unskilled labor.

Where do you get “Apparently don't fill the market” with 4.7% of our people unemployed? It could be at the below living wage wages some companies want to pay but I do not see the evidence that the existing 8 Guest worker programs are not meeting the NEEDS. They may not be meeting the WANTS of companies that want to pay lower wages!

I guess you can not read:

"you forgot to say that all or almost all of the democrats voted for this bill " Almost all democrats DID NOT support the Bush Bill. Majority and ALL are NOT the same!

"Business isn't about meeting "needs", business is about the market."

Here is the problem-- Some Business wants to use workers that break the laws by illegally entering the U.S. and they are also breaking the laws by employing these illegals. They do so to cut costs and increase their profits. That is not meeting the market. Meeting the market is employing workers legally and paying them a wage agreeable to both the worker and employer. What is going on is that these employers that use this illegal labor increase their profits and the taxpayers pay the cost of these illegal’s by higher costs for educating their children, health care, and then these illegal workers send much of their earnings home and the money leaves our country to the determent of our economy. If these employers hired legal workers that paid taxes and the workers spent the money they earn in the U.S. we would be far better off. The only people making out are the illegal workers and the greedy companies that put higher profits ahead of obeying the laws of this country! Bush and the GOP have turned their heads by not enforcing the laws that exist. WE DO NOT need new laws just enforce the existing laws! We need enough Border guards to STOP more illegal’s from coming into the U.S. We need to go after employers that break the law by employing these illegals! If we punished the employers they would stop hiring these illegal workers and they would stop coming into the country if they could not find work!

“so again i suggest you go back to school and this time don't look up dresses.”

You said ALL or Almost ALL. That is NOT CORRECT. The issue is that Bush LIED again about the need for another Guest Worker Program. Bush is getting no ware on Immigration, Iraq, Energy, Health care, Border security, Social Security. His is as ineffective a President as we have ever had in office! Congress should cut his budget and just provide for his pay and security. Same thing for Draft Dodger Dick. No more trips, dinners or any other activities. Bush should contemplate just how negative a legacy he will leave as President! Cheney should see if he can get his old job back and work as a civilian contractor in Iraq after we leave!

so what your saying is that they should remove him from office without being charged with anything and he hasn't been.

and who do you propose should run the government for the next 1.5 years that idiot in charge of the house. that is called a coup. so what you want is for the federal government to be overthrown.

i think there would be a revolt if she tried to do that.

non of these are crimes assuming that you assign all blame on him.





this is happening because of taxes




NO president since the illegal alien act was started (which is when they started minimum wage in this country) has ever enforced these laws



before he took office 1 billion terrorists hated us and today 1 billion terrorists hate us looks like the same number to me.



those people stuck in new Orleans during Katrina were stuck there because the major wouldn't use the buses available to get them out of there. further the major turned down Amtrak's offer get its trains down there and pull them out of there.

and even further bush told the major and the Governor three days before the storm hit to get everyone out of the city. at which time the major had the drivers for those buses.



i looked up this act but i refuse to read that much lawerlez

Do you know how many illegal aliens are now working for city, state and federal governents? What punishment should we dole out against the police chief if it turns out some cops are illegal aliens? What punishment should we give the military if a troop turns out to be illegal?

But the big question is, if the government can't even seem to decide which of their employees are legal and which aren't, how is Joe Landscape supposed to?

it was a 1000 buses and they had three days not one trip

and i think you forgot to read the part where Amtrak afford to pull trains down there and get everyone out.


oh i know your going to say that Amtrak would only pull one train down there with one car

THE PERSON AT FAULT FOR ALL OF THOSE PEOPLE BEING LEFT IN NEW ORLEANS WAS THE MAJOR.


THE PERSON AT FAULT FOR NOT PROVIDING SECURITY AT THE STADIUM AND THE MALL WAS THE MAJOR.

the person who was not able to do anything about these people was the president.

the locals IE the Governor and the major evacuate the president advises to evacuate which he did three days before the storm hit.

so the people at fault for those people being left in New Orleans was the major and the governor.

question how many buses could the governor have gotten to New Orleans.

how many buses did the Governor get to New Orleans.

another question what party do the Governor and the major belong to. hint it is the party that says it cares about the people.

and by the way there was a nursing home in New Orleans that was offered city help to get its residents to safety. They refused and were charged with neglect(i think) because two or three of its residents were killed.

and since the major was offered Amtrak help and refused. Shouldn't the major of New Orleans be held to a higher standard than the owners of a nursing home.

I WANT CHARGES OF NEGLECT FILED AGAINST THE MAJOR OF NEW ORLEANS. I WANT HIM IN JAIL FOR NEGLECT.

I WANT CHARGES OF NEGLECT FILED AGAINST THE GOVERNOR AS WELL. I WANT HER IN JAIL FOR NEGLECT.

because even if they didn't get those people out of there for political reasons. they still neglected to do their jobs and get those people out of New Orleans after the president told them to.

yes i know the total is 22% maybe 25% now but that is out of 350,000 men/women

that is lets call it 100,000 men leaving 250,000 men/women for national disasters here at home.

doesn't look like their crippled to me.
