Jon Stewart Dobbs O Meter

On Thursday night's "Daily Show," Jon Stewart instituted a "Dobbs-o-Meter" to measure the presidential candidates' success in wooing Hispanic voters. "The best way to measure success in wooing the Latino community," Stewart says, "is by using the Dobbs-O-Meter: the angrier Lou Dobbs gets, the better you're doing." Stewart showed clips from the past week, during which the candidates reached out to Hispanic voters through the National Council of La Raza, and with each statement showed Dobbs' head growing larger and redder until it eventually exploded.

Stewart is a genius - aside from laughing myself silly, I always learn something from his shows - didn't know, for example, that McSame voted against MLK Day.

Also like the fact that he's unafraid to skewer somebody who has often been a guest - like McSame.

Wish some of the MSM pundits would follow his lead, but that's never gonna happen!

As a country, we pride ourselves on being a nation of laws and recognize the necessity to abide by them. Whether you find Stewart funny or otherwise, I respectfully submit, that put to a popular vote, 70% of the citizens of this nation would opt to send the illegals back to their respective countries.

If you're right, I'm not one of the 70% in favor of forcible deportation and uprooting thousands of lives. My parents never raised me to be so heartless, thank God.

Not me.

I'm for incarcerating AND fining the EMPLOYERS.
Stick a few Wal-Mart executives in maximum security prison with druggies and murderers for mandatory 5 years, stick a few Hollywood grannies who hire illegals in their homes in hard time for mandatory 5 years, and the jobs will dry up. And the illegals will go home on their own. Without the cost to the US taxpayer.

That sounds like a plan..

Then watch as the American Economy collapses and civil wars start in those countries where we return those "illegals" back too.

Tell Me

How many Greyhound Buses are required to return 13 million illegal immigrants back to the border. ?

----

Did you know that the MS13 Gangs were created by Salvadoran illegal immigrants returned to El Salvador. Now we have a problem in both countries ...

It's not so Cut-n-Dry.

I would be interested to see what would happen to our economy if all the illegal workers were deported.
