It was gridlock, which, in part, got us into this debacle to begin with. Throughout the 2000s, I have consistently seen this party pass law after law favouring business over the working class Joe Sixpack types. I've seen years of companies getting subsidised for taking their jobs overseas, while Junior's dad can't even afford to get glasses for his 7th grader son who has just started to need them. These are people who jumped on board when it came to helping banks when the auto industry was about to go kapop. This is a party who has been forceful about getting its own way. When they were in power, they used their filibuster powers, cloture, etc., to win their perks for their Haliburton buddies, etc. while the average poor-middle class worker's finances go straight to Hell. Do you think the way they're behaving now--how hardnosed they are being towards our President--is going to help them in 2012?Talk about making the same mistakes that got them dissed in 2008 and expecting different results? That is, in fact, my definition of madness.Will another buttkicking... | |

| | | Mexican president Felipe Calderon critizes the AZ law | | Few days ago, the Mexican president came to our country and in front the US Congress and the president Obama, he critized the AZ law and stated his complete opposition to that "racist". All the Congress agreed with a stand-up applause. Do you think that this was appropiate or not?I believe that he shouldn't come here to tell us what to do or not. He should clean his own yard first! He is promoting the illegal immigration by telling their people not to come to Arizona because they will be arrested. He should promote a better and quality life to his people instead of waiting that we resolve his own country problems. But if our own President and Congress approve this kind of disrespectful actions against their Americans citizens, what else we can expect?We are not Americans racists, we are Fed-up Americans, enough is enough! | |

| | best gift for dear sister in law | | When my brother first told me he was getting married, I was so apprehensive. I did not know his girlfriend that well, and she was snobbish.That was three years ago. I discovered that she was not snobbish. She was shy. And as time passed, I got convinced that she is right for him, after all. Her birthday's coming up, and I'm clueless what gift to give her. Help? I don't have any sisters, so this is kind of hard for me because I'm used to giving gifts to brothers. What could be a good gift to a cherished sis in law? | |
| | If a police officer violate a traffic law, who gonna write him a ticket? | | I just wonder, does a police officer driving a police car has special authority, even though they are breaking the traffic law as many people saw it? Many times, one or two police car was rushing over 55 miles in a 35 street. Some polices even turn the siren on for the intention of not want to wait in red light. After they pass the red light, they simply turn it off. For that, who are going to give them ticket, I was just curious.
Also, even a civilian file a complaint report to the police supervisor, would they even consider take a look at the complaint report or investigate it? Which I doubt it. | |
| | Arizona immigration law inspires Michigan initiative | | Lansing -- The controversial immigration law recently passed in Arizona has sparked some interest in similar reform in Michigan.Rep. Kim Meltzer, R-Clinton Township, is drafting a bill that would give police officers the authority to arrest illegal aliens who are stopped and questioned on another offense, while Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard is making immigration a key to topic in his race for the Republican nomination for governor.The Arizona law passed last month directs police to stop suspected illegal aliens and ask them for documentation proving their lawful residency. It has triggered a heated debate and numerous jokes on late-night television, touched off protests across the country and prompted states to look at revising their laws.While Michigan doesn't have nearly the immigration problem states in the southwest have, the issue is enough of a concern to federal border officials that they allocated about $20 million a year ago for 11 cameras to be set up along the St. Clair River to watch for illegal immigrants crossing from Canada.Meltzer said she's proposing tightening immigration laws because "we have borders in place for a reason. "We should... | |

| | Obama ramps up criticism of Arizona immigration law | | President Barack Obama stepped up his criticism of Arizona's controversial immigration law Wednesday, calling it "misdirected" and warning that it has the potential to be applied in a discriminatory fashion.Speaking at a joint news conference with Mexico's President Felipe Calderon, Obama called for overhauling the nation's immigration laws and said that can't be done unless Republicans support it.[b]The controversy over the Arizona law, which would make it a state crime to be in the country illegally, hung over Calderon's visit. Both leaders oppose the law, with Obama directing the Justice Department to review it for possible civil rights violations, and Calderon's government issuing a travel warning for Arizona, out of concern that Mexicans face an adverse political environment there.[/b][b]Calderon made good on his pledge to take up the immigration issue during his meetings with Obama. He said the Arizona law criminalized migration and could encourage discrimination. He also called for the U.S. and Mexico to work together to solve the complex, politically sensitive immigration issue.[/b]"We can do so if we create a safer border, a border that will unite us... | |
