I think it's more the Mexicoons are stealin' and we're tuning the
other cheek.  I'm so sick of far leftie liberals like bAss saying it's
OK for them to break the to come over here for a better life.  On the
same token I sick of far right GOP's ignoring the problem because they
want their lawns mowed cheaply.  No increase for the minimum wage in a
decade, it's $5.35 per hour here in the US a wage no one can live on.
Yet-->  GOP Members of Congress (whom have voted down numerous bills
increasing the minimum wage)  in the same time period have voted
themselves pay raises totaling close to 24% from 1996 to 2006.  The
salary for a congressman in 1996 was $133,600, today it's $165,200.
The GOP majority thinks they can act impuntatively, they are in for a
huge wake-up call in a few days.

That's another thing that burns me up, Bush boldly LIED to the
American citizens about the reasons for invading Iraq.  Now the one
who really was working on WMD's, HAS THEM AND TESTED THEM.  Thanks,
Bush -- I'm sure your daddy is proud.

That's just plain stupid.  That's like those jerks saying stuff like
"thank God Bush was in office during 9/11", implying Gore would have
sent Afganastan a dozen roses and a box of chocolates.
