At least twice each week I read the rant of another angry American who declares that Bush is an idiot, but if they're just figuring that out now, they're throwing stones from a glass house. Of course he's an idiot. They needed an idiot. If the man displayed any signs of intelligence, evil actions couldn't be  passed off as "failures" or "bungling." If the president were intelligent and scholarly, people would question why he's completely incompetent, \nbut because he's an obvious buffoon, many people accept that as the reason everything's \ngoing horribly wrong. It's also a lot less distressing to believe that your government is incompetent rather than know that they're evil, and most people will cling to that comfort.\n\n               The real problem is that if people blame Bush's idiocy for our troubles, they probably also think that the solution would be to get him out of office, but if they think we'll be saved by "Hillary in '08," or any other politician, they're even slower than Bush. \n\nRegardless of who's occupying the White House, there has never been an idiot running this country. There's  too much power and money at stake for an idiot to gain control of it. If the president is an idiot,  he's only in the White House because someone else has firm control over him. Someone somewhere has a lot more control over the fate of this nation than our "president" does. \n\n               Of course this reasoning begs the question "if this country isn't being run by an idiot, \nwhy is everything going so horribly wrong?" The answer is that it's going wrong by design. \nThe questioner makes the  assumption that this country is being run by people who are acting in the interest of Americans, but nothing can be further from the truth. Instead of accusing Bush of doing a lousy job, or being a lousy president, please try to think in terms of Bush's "boss" being someone other than the American people, and his "job" as being to grab as \nmuch cash as he can for himself and his friends before driving this country into the ground. If you look at his presidency in that light, you can instantly see that he's doing a marvelous job, and he's the best "president" an enemy nation could ever hope to see in the White House.The fact of the matter is that America as we know it (or knew it) is being systematically destroyed, and the politicians from both political parties are making this possible.\n\n             Freedom and justice are fading memories, the U.S. Constitution is "just a goddamn piece of paper," and the election process has been undermined. The jobs have been shipped overseas, the economy is hopeless, the environment is being raped, the Army is "broken," the infrastructure is crumbling, our borders are being dissolved, and every dollar or gold nugget that was subject to being looted, is already gone. With the entire nation and its population deep in debt, crashing the economy is a simple matter of raising interest rates, which will allow the bankers to once again scoop up all mortgaged property, and force its inhabitants out into the street. Instead of calling it illegal immigration, we should be calling it a foreign invasion, because the consequences of this invasion are as terminal to our freedoms and to our way of life as any act of terrorism ever perpetrated against us! The United States is being invaded - FOREIGN INVADERS.  \n\n             The American people need to understand that the United States is under attack! \nNo, not by Iraq or Iran, but by Mexico! Yes, Martha, you had better believe it. \nThe Mexican government is deliberately and systematically working to destabilize and undermine the very fabric and framework of American society. \n             And President George W. Bush and Senators John McCain and Ted Kennedy (among others) ar

An interesting assignment. I would be interested in seeing how that goes...\n\nI'm a Republican, and there's really not allot that stumps me. However, I WOULD ask for proof that a guest-worker bill is NOT amnesty by another name.

I personally would like to see a balanced budget amendment. I would also like to see an amendment that put more stringent parameters on Congress's role. Check out this site, there is a good discussion on possible new amendments.

Chris Simcox, president of the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps, issued the following statement on the passage today of an illegal alien amnesty bill by the U.S. Senate: \n\n"The vote to give amnesty to millions of illegal aliens by the United States Senate today, should it pass into law, would ensure that the status quo is maintained: the borders would remain wide open and the attractive nuisance of endless welfare and social programs at the expense of the American taxpayer would remain. Those climbing over the backs of those waiting patiently to abide by our laws; and instead breaking the law, illegally entering this country, and committing document fraud; those not paying taxes; and those hiring illegally would be granted full amnesty. American citizens would, of course, still be subject to prosecution for document fraud and tax evasion. This sends the message that if you play by the rules, you suffer; if you enter the United States illegally, you are not subject to the rule of law.\n"The American people do not trust the government to grant amnesty now and secure the borders later. We already went down that road in 1986, and the borders remain wide open still today. \n\n"Their constituents are watching, and these Senators will pay the price come election time. We are now focusing our attention on the House of Representatives where we do not expect amnesty to pass. The House is more respectful of their voters, as they stand for re-election every two years. The arrogance and cavalier disregard of the will of the American people by this Senate will not be forgotten-there will be an accounting. The American people are still sovereign in this country, not a gaggle of politicians pandering to their special interest donors. \n\n"The existing border crisis is a dereliction of duty by those entrusted with this nation's security, sovereignty and prosperity. The U.S. Senate just left America vulnerable to a tsunami of migrants at the border, to terrorist infiltration and to an unprecedented crime wave by drug smugglers, thieves, rapists, human traffickers and murderers who cross our frontier at will-and whose bravado and aggression will now increase with the Senate's message of our apparent national weakness. \n\n"But the Minutemen will remain on patrol, at our posts-and continue to build border fencing and barriers on private land with private donations until the U.S. government performs its most basic constitutional duty to these United States, and safeguards the people and protects the territorial integrity of America."

Ultimately, I think this is a non-partisan issue.  \n\nPreserving societal morals is a human question, not a Republican one.  \n\nTaking the vote to the states, is a good start, and wholly supported Constitutionally, under the 10th Amendment.

83:  Yes, although I STILL feel a little torn voting yes, because there are some forseeable problems with this prop, especially the fact that it affects ALL "sex offenders" including people who are caught peeing on the side of the road...those type of mild instances where people have "technically" committed a sex crime makes this prop unfair, but I think the good it will do outweighs the negatives.  I hate molesters, rapists, abusers, etc. so I will vote yes.\n\n84:  YES...clean water???  Hell yes!\n\n85:  NO NO NO!  I am most passionate about this prop.  I'm disappointed to see people voting yes.  By voting yes on this you endanger the small majority of girls who cannot tell their parents because of an abusive home life.  Physical and sexual abuse do occur in homes, and if a girl gets pregnant and doesn't want to tell her parents about the abortion she has GOOD reason for it, usually to protect herself.  Studies show over 60% of girls already tell one or both parents.  If you have good communication and a loving relationship with your child you shouldn't have to vote yes on this to ensure they tell you.  Also, this prop is just a small step that the pro-life side is taking towards getting abortion outlawed alltogether.  It is a slippery slope!  Please vote no.  :(\n\n86:  Yes, I think the money used from the cigarette tax will go to really good things.\n\n87:  Yes.  Save our planet!\n\n88:  No, many schools don't even qualify for the money they claim will be designated to them.  Its a never-ending property tax...yikes.\n\n89:  Yes.\n\n90:  No, it sounds good in theory, but there's a lot of problems with this particular prop.\n\nHappy voting!

That's a good idea they can track the cows right to their stalls.But they wont,that's too smart isn't it?\n\nHere's a question that got deleted by the brave people here.I don't see the violation \n\nIf Democrats win the House and/or the Senate, will it be harder?\nQuestion Details: for the Bush administration to push through so-called free trade agreements and the free-trade-at-all-costs agenda? What do you think ? Do you favor this plan for free trade or not ?\n\nReason of Violation:Chatting & Personal Communications\n\nThats the entire question ,I had closed it and chosen the best answer before someone went back on my questions and reported it.Its very frustrating,but I am just amazed at people.

I like to look at the "approval ratings" for members of Congress as given by the Americans for Democratic Action and the American Conservative Union.\n\nhttp://www.adaction.org/ADATodayVR2005.pdf\n\nhttp://www.acuratings.org/\n\nThese stats show how the Congressmen voted on particular legislation.

Already have. \n\nI write both my state Senators twice a week on this issue as it is that important.  \nEach time they write me back with the knowledge I will\nbe writing again.\n\nSo at least I'm keeping them busy writing me.

I'd love to hear what our forces in Iraq think about this illegal immigration issue that is going on back home.  If any are on here, I hope they will speak up and tell us what they think.
