on a lighter note, if you're hurting for cash and need a temp job, the census people get like $15.75/hour for at least 8 weeks

About half say they want a smaller government with fewer services, compared with roughly 40 percent who want a bigger government providing more. The public was evenly divided on those questions long before Obama was elected. Still, a majority supported the Obama administration exerting greater control over the economy during the recession.
then why dont they fucking vote that way??????? (smaller gov, that is)

EDIT: FYI, most of the Tea Party has absorbed itself into the Neo-Con (Republican) agenda (ie Tea Party Express). It sucks how easily people are fooled and how trusting we are of the Establishment. Throw out some empty words at people and they just eat it up. *facepalm* The true Constitutional aspect of the Tea Party has been left by the wayside in lieu of rhetoric and, of course, propaganda. What is left of the real grass roots Tea Party movement (Intellectual Constitutional Conservatives) will now be marginalized as extremist crazy terrorist people by the establishment media and institutions.
No. Moneyed interests buy off the politicians. The ones who might try stopping them, that is - dems and liberals don't need to be bought off because they want the illegals here (fresh supply of dem voters).Further, are you aware that illegal immigrants play a huge role in our economy, and that is the reason no politician, liberal or conservative, will seriously put a stop to them coming over the border?
Of course. Why else, when the polls have shown for the last century and more that the public's heavily in favor of ending illegal immigration and reducing legal immigration?Do you really believe it continues to happen because of government corruption?
It isn't obvious to me. Anything besides your word for it? I've read a good bit about the subject over the years and a ten cent rise in lettuce prices doesn't amount to a "fucked" economy IMO.That sounds so silly to me when its obvious the economy would be fucked damn near overnight if the flow of illegal workers and immigrants was stopped.
What, you mean jobs that won't pay living wages because immigrant scabs will do them for Mexican living wages?Sorry dude but Americans stopped taking the kind of jobs that illegal immigrants do a long time ago.
How does Japan do it? No Mexicans there, but as far as I know Japan's economy isn't "fucked" and they aren't starving. They're also not waiting for the magical "10-20 years away" innovations in robotic and robot-assisted farming, instead they're leading the world. Where's the incentive to innovate robotic farming when the government turns a blind eye to immigrant scabs?Gonna be another 10-20 years before robots can reliably do those jobs, so like, you and your dad can go pick fruit for 3 bucks an hour, we can let the immigrants do it, or we can let the government take over farms because even more massive subsidies will be required so that the farmers themselves can eat.
My 2 cents at least.
So let Mr. tattered jeans shoeless no-English Mexican stay at your house then. Why fob him off on those who didn't agree to let him in?This is the stupidest shit i've ever read.
If your livelihood is threatened by some mexican who walked across the border with tattered jeans, no shoes, no understanding of our language, and a complete lack of any sort of education... you're probably a HUGE loser and I can't help but feel sorry for you
You guys want to knock off the "Illegal Immigration" B.S.? It's only illegal because unconstitutional laws have been put in place.
I've said it before and many more educated folks than I, have said it many times in the past..... America is BUILT on immigrants. They're the only ones that understand WHY they came to America and what FREEDOM is really supposed to be about.
I see so few "Born in America" American's that actually know ANYthing about what this country stands for.... it's pathetic and scary.
These boards are filled with comments from Americans that haven't spent even 10 minutes educating themselves on liberty and the preservation of human rights.
Educate Yourself People! Then Educate Your Neighbor!
Kick ass post.A lot of you guys aren't old enough to remember what this country was like before the Hispanic invasion. If you live in Florida, California, Arizona, New Mexico, or anywhere near our southern border, and you are old enough to remember, you would know without any doubt that our country was much better off without them. These areas have been ruined by unchecked "immigration", which is really an all out invasion, in reality an act of war. These people aren't pioneers, they are leeches. Immigrants who came to this country in the 1700s, 1800s, and early 1900s were pioneers. They were coming to a vast unsettled country. They came from all countries and spoke all languages, but came together to form the "melting pot", they all learned English, and they built this country from nothing to the number 1 country in the world. They fought and won 2 world wars, while millions of them died. But the people coming now are not pioneers. They are coming to a country that is already established, already built, already #1. They come here to work the system, to have their babies, to bleed our social services, to use our emergency rooms, and many of them don't even have the respect to learn our language. They actually are trying (and succeeding in some cases) to make Spanish an official language of this country. This country was founded with English as our language, and our laws are based on English law. Yet, in California, because of their vast numbers, public servants are actually required to speak Spanish. What an outrage! Imagine going to another country and demanding that they speak our language. Imagine going to Mexico and demanding social services! LOL! They will laugh at you when they are done looking at you like you are crazy. In fact, Americans cannot immigrate to Mexico without putting up a large amount of cash. This illegal invasion of our country would not be tolerated anywhere else in the world. But our Hispanic politicians do everything possible to allow more and more Hispanics to get in. After all, that is how they are empowered. They care nothing about America or the people they are invading. They have no respect for our language or culture. They care only about Hispanics. There are dozens of groups promoting Hispanics in this country, many of them quite militant. Try forming a group promoting white people, and it is called a rascist hate group.
Throughout history, empires go out with a wimper, not a bang. When enough foriegners move into a country, it soon becomes their country. And, that is what's happening here. Our country is becoming their country, and we are going to do nothing about it?
IMO, this is war, and should be treated as such. These people need to come here because they ruined their countries by overpopulating them. Now we are going to allow them to ruin our country?
I say no. Build a wall around the whole southern border if necessary. Put Americans back to work building it, and keep those bastards out.
No, America was built by colonists, settlers, not immigrants. Try and imagine the Indians running an immigration office, lol.
In spite of any wishfull thinking on your part, that's all the Tea Baggers ever were- a fake grass-roots movement made up by Right Wing manipulators.
Hate to break it to ya'...
Maybe you could leave behind the emotional posturing and just explain what's so "stunningly idiotic" about it?If only I had a 10 ft tall rolling eyes emoticon, then maybe I could even begin to respond to such a stunningly idiotic statement...!
