Hello one and all!!! I was listening the Herman Cain show this evening in Atlanta and found myself not getting angry listening to the man like i do whenever that idiot Neal Boortz or Hannity is on the air spouting out bs. It then dawned on me that the reason is b/c Herman Cain is actually nice to people and isn't classified as sensational journalism. He says something, then gives facts to back them up, and listens to callers and gives them a fair chance to respond. You actually learn something. Now i'm not a republican by any means and don't agree with everything he has to say, but my political dichotomy leans me not to disagree with everything either. For example, the immigration debate/bill is bs. Why should people who broke the law by coming here illegally be given a free pass now that they are here? I would boost the economy by creating jobs in the INS/Border Patrol to deport them all. It isn't their fault, now people have to eat, it's the govt.'s for not enforcing the law. But you have to stop the bleeding before you start the surgery. To stop illegals from coming here there has to be a reason for them to stop coming.
Here is the solution for the War in Iraq/OBL/and illegal immigration, want to hear it??? Too bad, here it is: Remove the National Guard from Iraq (they shouldn't be there anyway) and have them patrol the Southern Border. When anyone tries to jump the border, start shooting, as this will have the effect, "Hey, i might get shot, i'm not crossing!" Hire INS Agents to systematically round up half of the illegal aliens that are here and have them build the border fence, then throw them over when they are done. Then send the Army from Iraq (again, they shouldn't be there anyway) to Afghanistan where they belong. This tells the Iraqis that they are big boys now, they have to learn to wipe their own bottoms now and police and run their own country without Uncle Sam to do it for them. Thirdly, I would send the other half of the illegal aliens that are here and send THEM to Afghanistan to sneak across the border into Pakistan (since they are so good at it) to hunt down and find OBL! This would start their legal path to citizenship since they did a favor for us.
As for gas prices. As I mentioned above I was listening to the Herman Cain show. A caller brought up a very valid point. Why is it when you buy a coke your receipt says, "Coke: $1.00, tax .07 cents" but when you buy gas your receipt says, "Gas: $4.oo/gallon" and no tax? I actually discovered that gas is somewhere around $3.50/gal but the federal and state gas tax (which is diff for every state) pushes it up to 4bucks. There should be legislation passed stating that taxes should be listed on the reciepts, gas station signs, pumps, etc... Any takers for this?
And the name Clintonbabe refers to my fondness of the Greatest American President: Billy, not Hilly.
