Not want, Did. Yes, bad news. One can always tell the value of a law by what lawmakers exempt themselves from, including social security vs their own golden parachute.

If Rubio is as savy as I had hoped he was six months ago he would have sponsored a bill to finish the fence and require "Real" data confirming control of that border which would, at that point, trigger negotiations about the illegal alien issue. He went in like a lion and came out like McCain.

Exactly.

Thomas Sowell for President. It would be nice if, Politicial = Common sense

Mr. Hewitt, If you cannot tell me what you are talking about within the first two sentences, YOU are wasting my time. A entire first paragraph and you, a pro, did not say what they are going to waste their time on. Good Grief.

Well made point. Maybe Intellectuals, first and foremost, aim to flatter themselves (not very intellectual at all if you think about it). These days, if you disagree with them you are a racist, that happens daily and surely is a fact. And they do it with arrogance.

I wonder how many self defined progressives know what that word translates in to as a movement, who those who lead that sort of movement are, and what their inner objectives are?

No amount of common sense or practical experience will stop a liberal from believing in totally unsupportable nonsense or a media from reporting their fiction.

Republicans stop for a breath and a drink of water. Then some of them hop into the left's wagon for a free ride to the finish line. The left tag teams and never lets up.

it is fun when Christie gets in the face of liberals with common sense but in the end he is just another north east rhino republican. Christie enjoys being the center of attention and he sees himself as a savior, just like Obama, so Christie will probably never seem balanced. He will always be a controversy away from another controversy

If it were the right thing, Toomey, it would have had conservative support. I am pretty sure that most conservatives look down on those who take to knee-jerk, wasteful grandstanding. That is what you did. You accomplished nothing. You produced a lousy proposal and you wasted the tax payer's money in doing so.
