“Look, as I said, I think Dobbs fell off the deep end quite awhile ago.

But I don't think Dobbs was anti-Latino immigrant at all. Given that many of his relatives, by marriage, are Mexican, I seriously don't think that, for him, the word "illegal" is code for "dirty Mexican." It is for many racists--that cannot be denied--but I don't think it's the case with him.”

“I asked a question and you give me some hypothetical. Is there a limit, a number, of people that this country can physically support?”

“The e-verify system would be helpful for tracking..­.but it's not going to stop the hiring by itself.

if the hiring only produces fines, then companies will simply deduct the cost from their profit and continue.

The only way to stop the hiring is to make sure that those at the *top* of these companies are going to face personal accountability that can't be settled with money.”

“Then how about the E-verify system that checks SS numbers to make sure they are legit? Make it mandatory?”

“that not news...if they were on CNN MSNBC or FOX....the­y be called commentair­s..”

“You are absolutely correct.”

“You are completely right.”

“Spongebob Squarepants has a huge viewer base as well.”

“And people aren't half bad, with some ketchup.”

“Vegetarians and vegans do not need dietary supplements.

You are confusing the issue. Most PEOPLE in America are undernourished, not just vegans and vegetarians. The problem is the issue of processed foods, which all groups of people are guilty of eating too much of.

Meat is virtually devoid of micro-nutrients. You get a small handful from it, the biggest one being B12 which your need for is measured in micrograms. Your argument rests on the notion that meat is some block of nutrient dense ambrosia. It isn't. It's a block of macro nutrients, two of which people already get far too much of (protein and fat), combined with a poison (saturated fat) and a handful of micro nutrients which can be more easily obtained in greater quantities elsewhere.”

“If you eat fish, you are NOT vegetarian.”

“THey got their wars didn't they? They got their massive tax-cuts and their no bid contracts. They passed the patriot act.
They passed the perscription drug benefit, and all thanks to the political capital they recieved on 911.

Yeah, real incompeten­t....”

“Maybe not much to do with Bush, but you can bet Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, Cheney, and the CIA were all involved in 9/11.”

“Bush was being run from Wall Street, just like this administration--in fact, like all of them since Kennedy paid the price of printing silver certificates and threatening to end the Fed. They have the money, the know how, and profit from war and chaos. Every modern war (every war since the creation of national central banks back in the 1600's) that has been fought, has been created by the banks that then went on to fund both sides of each conflict. The goal is control of production and power to govern. Bush, whatever the lie is about his intellect which was at least good enough to help plan the economic scam we are saddled with, achieved every goal he had when he entered the white house: Start a war, repeal the constitution, and make a lot of money. Mission Accomplished.”

“You see a picture of Cheney eating a chocolate souffle and you say, "that's impossible, there is no way he could make that chocolate souffle. He is too incapable and incompetent to have made that chocolate souffle. Do you have any idea how hard it is to make that kind of souffle?".­.. Eating a souffle and making a souffle are two different things.”

“Not so fast, jbeach - the Bush administration - and ANY administration - somehow have a way of doing what they really want to do, and becoming "bunglers" when they need to be.
And usually, they will not only appear to bungle the job, they will gladly allow themselves to be called bunglers so that the investigation doesn't go further.
Example? the invasion of Iraq.They lied, lied again, lied some more,produced crazy satellite photos labelled so that you would see what they wanted you to see, etc. to get the whole thing going.
The proof that they were BSing? Somehow, it got all pushed to the side. UN weapons inspectors? Forced to stop looking (we know why).Scott Ritter,one of the more vocal critics? Derailed with some charges of goofing around with a minor.
Once they got in, they no longer cared - that's why the buildup went so "good" and the post-war stuff seemed to be massively messed-up.
I have a theory about Bush (better sit down)....h­e wasn't really, REALLY in the loop. The infamous 8/6/01 PDB? He was "advised" that it was "historical", and that's why he brushed it off. He was in FL to stay out of the way. That look of deer-in-th­e-headligh­ts/fear was completely genuine.
The REAL men behind the curtain were Cheney and Rumsfeld - with a little Rice on the side.”

“No, he's too busy dreaming about Michelle running up to his jeep and going "me love you long time"”
