“One: I thought SCOTUS handed handed Mr Bush the election.
Two: I like Gore and believe he has a message, but for the past nine years he has preached about the pie- in- the- sky, while the wolf has been kicking down my door. At best, Gore would have been not Bush.
Three: Nader caused Frank to get honest.”

“Agree or disagree-- Americans who show their faces have a right to be heard!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!­!”

“Absolutely. However, it would be nice to see people reach way back to their kindergarten days and extract a couple of those societal rules we learned like, 'If you don't have something nice or positive to say (or in this case something relevant to add) don't say anything at all,' or 'Wait your turn- don't interrupt others,' 'listen when other people speak, 'name-calling isn't nice', etc. As much as I want everyone to be able to express themselves, I for one am sick of people acting with less social nicety than the average third grader. If you want to be heard and taken seriously, acting like a child throwing a tantrum is not the way to go about it.”

“Yep, but congress people have the right to not be verbally abused. They need to stop holding these meetings, let teabaggers find their own venues.”

“Yes, if you think before you speak. If you understand that not everyone shares your opinion and you will not grow louder if someone does not agree with you. If you want to be heard, be prepared to listen. And a good quote for you cons about about liberals:

"The essence of the Liberal outlook lies not in what opinions are held, but in how they are held: instead of being held dogmatically, they are held tentatively, and with a consciousness that new evidence may at any moment lead to their abandonmen­t." -- Bertrand Russel”

“The Nation really need to get away from Yale and Harvard, their combined leadership has been a disaster. One time recently an outsider had a chance, Howard Dean, but up jumped Eli. I’m so against our next President being a Harvard or Yale person that I would vote for Sarah. Think about it.”

“So have the businesses who hire them and exploit them...som­e of them go so far as to not even pay those they exploit or pay them even less than they were told they'd be paid. They do this because they know these people will not complain.

You want to solve the problem, you go after the employers - do that and illegal immigrants won't be an issue.

It's the businesses that are preying upon them and us. And as long as they are allowed to do it, they're going to keep doing it.

And the politicians like it that way --- it keeps getting them votes so they can waste billions of dollars on a stupid wall that will never be finished.”

“And the big corporations that hire them don't?”

psmarc93 replied on Nov 16, 2009 at 16:12:31

“Granted. I'm not saying that's right or to be tolerated, but if the REAL motivation is to stop illegals, there should be more outrage against the CITIZENS who are hiring them. Frankly, I have a lot more sympathy for a Mexican man or woman doing all he or she can to feed their babies than the American company that breaks the law, pays them illegally low wages, provides no benefits or healthcare, forces them pay taxes into a system they cannot access for benefits, denies the job to an honest American trying to feed his babies, all just to make a bigger profit.
I have yet to see large marches and protests against the employers who created and exaccerbate this problem with illegal workers. I grant you, there is some revolt against them, but why isn't it the main focus? Racism? Corporate worship? What?”

“Tell that to the displaced worker, tell that to the worker whose wages have been reduced, tell that to the child in an overcrowded classroom, tell that to the at risk American standing in line for social services.
Black folk have broken through, there is a Black President doesn't mean that Blacks have unilaterally risen in the ranks, many still need those service jobs as do poor Whites.
