Well, we don't want to attack "employment" in general which I thought you were mocking me on. We can stop illegal immigration by preventing illegal aliens from gaining employment in this country. Many of them would probably even then go home.


Ah, the sarcasm missed it's target, or at least I was too slow to catch it.

Illegal Immigration............
No problem we annex Mexico. Tax all service related industries an Annex tax. Pay all native born Americans An annex dividend annually, and the remainder pays off the Federal Reserve and then we kick them out.
Hello Ron Paul are you listening??

No he's the only guy YOU think is capable. The first problem is he's loony enough he won't get elected.

holden.. no thanks on the alcoholism and rock bottom thing...  been there and it is to be avoided if possible.... I don't know how long it would take to fix the constitution back even to where it is now if hillary ran things say.

arresting the employers will work... it won't put a burden on the economy at all unless you really do like inferior jobs that take twice to 5 times the labor just to screw em up.   Houses won't cost any more.... I know white landscapers who can mow your lawns for the same price in half the time and know what plants are and don't charge much more.

I think republicans like rudy like democrats like hillary...  it is VERY conditional... meaning... they think that hillary and rudy are the only people capable of defeating each other at this point..  everyone would hold their nose to vote for either of em..

The republicans are better off than the dems tho.... romney  and fred are both attractive candidates that either party can vote for instead of hillary or osamabama.

Fred is the best bet.   folksy and... and... he is an actor!!! AN ARTIST!!!    If he was running against hillary you would almost be able to hear the sigh of relief from the democrats who will vote for him.

And a sigh of relief from the republicans that don't have to vote for Giuliani.

Fred's big advantage is that he comes off as a common-sense kinda guy - which I think is really the thing that Americans are looking for at the moment.  All the debate over the more idiotic provisions of the immigration bill gave a lot of people a reminder of the truly perverse nature of washington politics, and I think they'll still remember this come election day.

I have to admit I'm in the "anybody but Hillary" category.  Fortunately, there are a lot of Democrats there too, and I don't think she has the nomination quite yet.  Hopefully the Democrats will come to their senses before they select someone as corrupt as Hillary to be their nominee.  Edwards isn't much better, and while I disagree with practically every policy position Obama has, I figure he has the most integrity of the 3.

Fred might get my vote, but he's going to have to earn it.  I'm done giving the Republican party the "benefit of the doubt".

You'd vote Obama despite disagreeing with every one of his policies and solely because of his integrity?  You don't think Paul has as much integrity as him nor any better policies?

[lazs2]

Yep... old fred would be a huge relief for republicans and democrats... republicans wouldn't have to hold their nose and vote for rudy the stinker from new york and democrats wouldn't have to hold their nose and vote for hillary the stinker pretending to be from new york...

does anything good ever come from that city?

Lets face the fact that Ron Paul has about as much chance of getting the Republican nomination as I do.

I'm not saying I'd vote Obama - I'm just saying he's the least objectionable of the 3 (to me anyway).  All I'm hoping from the Dems is that they have enough sense to not put up a candidate who is demonstrably corrupt (Hillary), because I don't think the country can stand another round of Clinton scandals.  On the other hand, nobody in my lifetime did more damage to the Democratic party than Bill Clinton, so maybe I should register as a Dem and start campaigning for Hillary...

Vote HILLARY - because they didn't sell enough pardons the first time round...

Hillary '08 - Interns for Bill '09!

Hillary For President - because China needs more missile technology...

Hillary 2008 - she'll make China pay (in cash, small denominations only)
