I swear...Look, Democrats...Republicans...Independants...All polititians are THE SAME! They ALL lie!

Mexicans coming across the border...Well, get a better program together, and present it to Congress. You know.,...The polititians who we've elected to represent us....Let THEM know how you feel. If they won't do what you want them to, then VOTE THEM OUT! Anytime the government is afraid of the people, it is a true democracy. When the people are afraid of the govt (like now), then it's a tyrany. Don't like the way politics are run today, then got to the voting booths and cast your votes to get someone else in office. Otherwise, SHUT UP!

Mexicans will continue to cross the border illegally until we start to shoot them for doing it and actually make it LEGAL to do so. Even then, they will try. Hell, our country is already hated by 90% of the world anyway, whats a few more countries right?

try again with the taxes...
The Tax Foundation - Comparing Income Taxes under Bill Clinton and George Bush
yes, still higher, but no where near what is shown above...

Funny how the housing market/consumer confidence/economic status is being blamed on a democratic congress.. I want to see someone tie each one of these items back to a specific bill, act or deed that was done or not done due to there being a democratic congress..

1) Consumer confidence plummet;
2) The cost of regular gasoline soar to over $3.50 a gallon; (fyi it has fluctuated from $2.20 in 1/05 to $3 in 8/06 then back down to $2.20 again from 10/06-2/07).. try to remember that the demand from China and India has gone through the roof.. simple supply and demand... supply has only marginally increased, whereas demand has skyrocketed..


3) Unemployment is up to 5% (a 10% increase); (FYI, in 2006, it dropped to 4.6 the lowest since Bush has been in office, however it did spike up to 6.0 in 2003...).. again more factors than just a "democratic congress" being in place that have an impact on this..

4) American households have seen $2.3 trillion in equity value evaporate (stock and mutual fund losses);
5) Americans have seen their home equity drop by $1.2 trillion dollars; (i vaguely remember some on this board saying there was no bubble, don't believe all of the negative hype, etc..).. IMO..the market is correcting itself from the overinflated prices that people were paying/selling at prior... throw in the sub-prime mess and here we are.. someone please tie this back to what congress has/hasn't done)...

6) 1% of American homes are in foreclosure.
see above...

won't even touch the immigration issue.. however if you have an honest discussion with someone (dem or rep) you'd be suprised to see how close the viewpoints are...

Actually BAMF, O'Reilly isn't bad. at least he presents (most of the time) both sides or brings both sides to the table. i've seen him grill Republicans just as hard as Dems before (albeit not as many, but he's a ton better than that fat fuck Limbaugh or the idiot Glenn Beck).

Scott, keep the blinders on and continue voting party lines... there are plenty of dems who do the same thing so luckily you guys cancel each other out at the ballot box...

/soapbox.

Good info and a solid pwnage, but O'Riley will never have my respect. Neither does Glenn Beck or Limbaugh for that matter, though. Add Ann Coulter to that equation, lock them all in a box and throw them into the ocean and the world would be a better place.

But, that was mostly a potshot at Faux News in general. Of course, Scott will simply say they're fighting the liberal media bias that is taking over , but I just call them trash and a poor excuse for a 'news' channel.

If the farmers would pay a decent wage instead of trying to screw the worker over so they can fatten their own wallets, then they would be able to hire LEGAL workers who would in turn pay into the welfare system which should ONLY be open to LEGAL citizens of America, and also pay taxes which would help with our national debt a little and also other things which taxes pay for. Public services...fire trucks, firefighters, police, etc etc etc.

MY OPINION: Illegals, either GET LEGAL....or GET OUT!

Everyone else, grab your gun and carry on!

Flame on.
