I've heard legal immigrants like those laws...
Quote:Simple..No to everything Obama proposes..even if it was a conservative idea in the first place. Cantor and Boehner put that play into effect from 2010 onward.Quote:I've been hearing snippets of the convention speeaches on
the radio. The GOP, IMO, is living up to the moniker "The Party of No".
And what exactly does that even mean? I bet nearly anything you could
call a "no" (whichever party is saying it) is a "yes" phrased
differently, and vice versa. It's all about where you are on what issues
and what approach you find more appealing.
Quote:As for this, can you try to look at it from the other end for the moment?And the decision by the rules committee to give all the delegates to Romney is fair? It's the Romney team's fault for not following the arcana involved in primaries and caucuses. Ron Paul has about what?..121 delegates to the convention..deciding to squash these guys voice is definitely undemocratic. What was the harm in giving them their 5 minutes in the spotlight?
I happen to live in Iowa, where 22/28 delegates went for Paul. I've
looked at the result maps, and I can find a line of argument for giving
Paul about half of the delegates. (14-15) I can find one for him getting
slightly less than that. (12-13). The only one I've come up with that's
even close to giving 22 is "Consider every vote that's not for Romney
is a vote for Paul".
Is is that horrible that people would be upset that their chosen
representatives aren't actually representing them, and might want
something done about that?
