You're guilty of intellectual dishonesty. Period. Sputdr is correct. Because you've been over run in San Diego you want a halt to immigration. A duplicitous stance by one who rails against racism, land grabbing Israel, and regressive political thought. Border's are about as old school regressive as one get's. Isn't Lennon's Imagine supposed to be an anthem for your ilk? Do you approve of armies defending arbitrary checkpoints where God's people of the world dare not cross? Does the irony that you live in a city named after Mission San Diego de Alcalá and founded by Spaniard's and STOLEN from Mexico not cause you any guilt? I'm glad you're just another fat, white guy who condones the eminent domain of whole nation's and private property seizures. Perhaps' after your next banning you can reappear on ET as Manifest Destiny.
Flat out, you don't know what the hell you are talking about... Stick with the white supremacist crap, that is more your caliber...
Posted at 7:01 PM ET, 05/18/2007 McCain, Cornyn Engage in Heated Exchange Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) hasn't spent much time in the Capitol this year as he seeks the GOP presidential nomination. But one of his rare appearances this week provided a pretty salty exchange with a fellow Republican. During a meeting Thursday on immigration legislation, McCain and Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) got into a shouting match when Cornyn started voicing concerns about the number of judicial appeals that illegal immigrants could receive, according to multiple sources -- both Democrats and Republicans -- who heard firsthand accounts of the exchange from lawmakers who were in the room. At a bipartisan gathering in an ornate meeting room just off the Senate floor, McCain complained that Cornyn was raising petty objections to a compromise plan being worked out between Senate Republicans and Democrats and the White House. He used a curse word associated with chickens and accused Cornyn of raising the issue just to torpedo a deal. Things got really heated when Cornyn accused McCain of being too busy campaigning for president to take part in the negotiations, which have gone on for months behind closed doors. "Wait a second here," Cornyn said to McCain. "I've been sitting in here for all of these negotiations and you just parachute in here on the last day. You're out of line." McCain, a former Navy pilot, then used language more accustomed to sailors (not to mention the current vice president, who made news a few years back after a verbal encounter with Sen. Patrick Leahy of Vermont). "[Expletive] you! I know more about this than anyone else in the room," shouted McCain at Cornyn. McCain helped craft a bill in 2006 that passed the Senate but couldn't be compromised with a House bill that was much tougher on illegal immigrants. Cornyn's office declined to comment on the incident. McCain's camp specifically denied that the senator ever claimed to know more about the immigration issue than other senators, but acknowledged that the two Republicans had quite a disagreement. "These negotiations can be very tense, and there was a spirited exchange. That's it," said Brian Jones, spokesman for McCain's presidential campaign. McCain's aides have acknowledged that the senator hasn't been as active in the Senate this year as he's been out campaigning. As Capitol Briefing noted Thursday, McCain hasn't cast a vote in more than five weeks now. But Jones said McCain's staff has been deeply involved in the immigration talks. Ultimately, a deal was crafted and, as McCain suspected, Cornyn did not join in on the final agreement. By early Thursday afternoon, McCain joined nine other senators and Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff and Commerce Secretary Carlos Gutierrez at a Capitol press conference announcing the deal. After making a few comments, McCain left the Capitol to head to New York for presidential campaign events. Later that day, McCain missed his 43rd straight vote, this on the $2.9 trillion budget outline. http://blog.washingtonpost.com/capitol-briefing/
Z10, you are nothing but a flat out bigot. These people are just in search of a better life in America and deserve access to all our social services, education and health care. How can you be so mean spirited. Your true racist colors have come to shine.
Agreed Capt. the US government now is hands down America's no 1 enemy, clearly demostrated in the amnesty crap. As an intelligent man on the AM radio said - the US govt has done more damage to the US, than al queda or any other foe could ever dream of.
this IS a planet dude.. WE all all human beings. jingoism is unkind, irrational and unworkable. besides, mexico got better beaches can't we all get along?
That's exactly what you would be posting if it wasn't in "your backyard". Why aren't you crying and complaining about the meaning of "illegal" when Gavin Newsome is performing homosexual weddings that are against the law? Why?
Good non answer. Shows how your logic works. What is even more disturbing and actually is representative of most voters in the country is that you have no idea how our politicians operate. Unfortunately Z10 your ignorance on the subject shows your overall ignorance on our political system as a whole. The amnesty isn't being given to benefit business it was given to get votes period, getting and staying elected is the MO of every politician in Washington. It's about getting votes, stupid.
