Your calculation error there is the assumption that Repukes only make a daft move once a second. They engage in such stupidity every damned millisecond. Recalculate, please. :D


You're both full of crap. Because there are multiple Republicans, and so it's not only possible - it's likely that multiple Republicans are undertaking moronic, daft moves during the same given second.

Your numbers are unreliable and incredible, and far too low!

HEY, are you two paid posters who are trying to make Republicans look better?

Listen you -- by simply using the word "they", as in "they engage in such stupidity every damned millisecond" I was already implying that there are multiple Republicans committing stupid acts simultaneously.

Are you incapable of comprehending a sentence? Do you fail to understand the word "they"? Are you sure YOU'RE not a Republican plant? Because if Herman Cain is any indicator, that is not a big party of Readers.

CLASSIC paid poster response. When caught red-handed. turn and level an accusation. Either it will work, or provide a distraction to allow escape.

Hey, I watched PLENTY of Get Smart and Man From U.N.C.L.E. while growing up. I know exactly how this undercover business works.

Did you send off for the realistic spy pistol, the one that fires several shots but always misses by that much?

Bush Amnesty Plan Raises Immigration Concerns




The massive new immigration initiative unveiled by the White House has Democrats and ethnic identity organizations accusing Republicans of election-year pandering, and has the Republican base wondering whether George W. Bush and the Republican Party has sold them out.


The initiative, which draws heavily on legislation already introduced in Congress by three Arizona Republicans, Sen. John McCain and Rep. Jeff Flake and Rep. Jim Kolbe, has two central components. It would provide a mechanism by which some U.S. businesses would be able to import an unlimited number of low-wage foreign workers, and it would allow most of the roughly 10 million illegal aliens already in the United States a means by which they (and their extended families) would be able to remain legally -- and permanently -- in the United States.


Advocates of strong enforcement of U.S. immigration laws charge that the new Bush plan is really a massive new amnesty for illegal aliens, in spite of repeated Bush administration assurances to the contrary. The administration, and the Republican sponsors of the parallel McCain-Kolbe-Flake plan (search) on Capitol Hill, claim that their plans are not really amnesties because they require illegal aliens to pay a small fee and wait a short time before they can receive their legal permanent status.

It's good to recall what John McCain 1.0 believed in, before he got upgraded to his Tea Party/Palin-Light-compatible 2.0 software.

That's before we get to flip flops on campaign finance reform and torture.

Anyway, while I do think a path to citizenship for some people in this country is a good idea (I avoid the "a" word because it seems to trigger irrational impulses in people), I was never in favor of their guest worker program.

That's classic corporatism; benefits the corporations, benefits nobody else (not domestic workers, not the serfs they would import). It would just be a repeat of the Bracero Program.

Been there, done that, failed the first time.

The funny thing is in the current debate, people seem to have amnesia over the mistakes we made fifty years ago, or more.

Gingrich, Perry, Bachmann, and Santorum Go Extreme on Abortion
http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2 ... rtion.html

At a Personhood USA ‘tele-town hall,’ Perry, Gingrich, Bachmann, and Santorum commit to banning all abortion, even in cases of rape, incest, and threats to a woman’s health, showing that a hard line is now the norm among the GOP’s presidential contenders.

In November, when the personhood movement tried to pass a ballot initiative in Mississippi defining a fertilized egg as a human being, it lost by 58 percent. It was a staggering defeat in one of the country’s reddest states, and a sign of just how extreme personhood is.

That doesn’t mean, though, that it’s too extreme for the Republican presidential field. Last night, four GOP candidates—Rick Santorum, Newt Gingrich, Michele Bachmann and Rick Perry—took part in a “tele-town hall” sponsored by Personhood USA, which was broadcast on the radio program of Steve Deace, an influential Iowa evangelical. The event demonstrated that a commitment to banning all abortion, even in cases of rape, incest, and threats to a woman’s health, is now the normative position among the party’s presidential contenders.

I think it is reflexive. They are all getting their asses handed to them in the polls so they want to retreat into the womb.

How extreme can they get?

I suggest Cain will make a comeback, calling Perry, Bachman, et al, wusses! "I want a Constitutional Amendment that will REQUIRE women to NOT resist any attempt by men to rape them! After all, that rape represents a FUTURE HUMAN BEING! . . . which must be protected at ALL COSTS!"

Oh! I JUST heard on local news... Perry is backing off somewhat. :lol: He now says, "he would be okay with abortion is the woman's life was in danger." Aww, how sweet, Rick.
