If they succeed with this abomination of a bill they will have to depend on getting some Latino votes because they will lose 100 million or so Republican votes.

Can someone please explain how legalizing 11 plus million illegals, most of whom have no education, no job skills and no money are going to "help the economy" - who's economy?

I agree. The tired old line there is no way to find 11 mil illegals is way past due to be buryied. They sure came up with a way to establish a gun registry for the (unstated) purpose of confiscating all guns from law abiding citizens - they can find the exact cow in the precise stall in the right farm in a little town in XX that started mad cow disease - THEY CAN FIND 11 MIL ILLEGALS! I don't know about anyone else, but I'm feeling like the only people in this country being assaulted are the law-abiding, taxpaying American citizens.

I believe that foreign nationals are here legally - if you leave that part out - you've about summed it up.

Arizona, that be that state where you keep re-electing John McCain - part of the "gang of eight" who want to give these poor downtrodden folks free everything, starting with forgiveness for having to come here without benefit of the right paperwork??

And these worldly students are shocked, shocked mind you that the Catholic Church is against homosexuality? This, to me, is just another example of liberal intolerance of those who's philosophy does not agree with theirs and thus must be silenced. I would refer them to the First Amendment.

I am convinced that the "autopsy" as it is referred to, was not done to try and correct the failings of the Republican party to support their base - Conservative Republican's - but find out exactly what they needed to do to make the Blacks, Latinos and Gays like and vote for them.

Excellent idea - but then, won't we get into more trouble if he's meddling in Government?

I don't know where you're getting your facts. But I have a statement of earnings from my employer and just checked my checking account balance online. The new income tax withholding on the first paycheck of the new year (2013) reflects a 25% increase in Federal Income Tax withholding. Huh???

and just where do you get this startling statistic? Do you have anything to back that up except your own opinion? I am a single woman and have many single friends, both male and female. We are all financially comfortable, self-supporting and have ample savings for retirement. We all own our own homes. We are contributing members of society. AND we all are conservative politically and practically.
