At a College Republicans gathering, former congressman Tom DeLay attempted to blame abortion for undocumented immigration:
“I contend [abortion] affects you in immigration,” DeLay told the Washington-area gathering. “If we had those 40 million children that were killed over the last 30 years, we wouldn’t need the illegal immigrants to fill the jobs that they are doing today. Think about it.”
See the video HERE.
‘Think about it’
The immigrants are here because the USA is underpopulated?
July 19th, 2007 at 9:55 amOMG!
July 19th, 2007 at 9:56 amThat man is insane. I can’t believe that anyone listens to him.
I believe that most Lemming Republics are anti choice because they hate to see all that potential “cannon fodder” being wasted. They love the fetus but hate the child. If a woman is forced to have a baby she can’t afford, though shit once the baby is here and the woman can’t afford to feed and clothe it.
July 19th, 2007 at 9:57 amGood point - the U.S. economy would be in far worse shape, crime would be worse, and there would be less of a draw for immigrants to come to the U.S.
July 19th, 2007 at 9:57 amRepublicans care less about human life the more cells there are in the body.
July 19th, 2007 at 9:58 amLOL… these guys can’t get their talking point together.
Last time that I checked, their much beloved President was HIGHLY IN FAVOR of illegal immigration.
IDIOTS!!!

And we most certainly wouldn’t want to guarantee health insurance for those unwanted kids.
July 19th, 2007 at 9:59 amYes, by forcing women to have babies (infringing on their basic rights to choose whether or not to be a parent) Mexico’s economy will experience a resounding resurrection and poor Mexicans will no longer feel the need to flee to America for jobs. Brilliant.
That video is genius.
July 19th, 2007 at 9:59 amHeck, Tom, why don’t you just say that some of those 40 million could have been soldiers in Iraq, which would have enabled us to win the War on Terror by now?
Go ahead, Tom…tie terrorism into it too. Make it a trifecta of Repuke talking-point-stupidity.

July 19th, 2007 at 10:02 amSo, we shouldn’t abort babies so that they can clean our shitty bathrooms and stand around outside Home Depot waiting to do cheap construction projects and cook in our sleaziest restaurants? Awesome.

They remind me of the same group during the Vietnam war that drooled all over Nixon and parroted everything back that they were given to say, including pre-printed posters for staged demonstrations. They even had choreographers who would place the signs and the bodies for the best TV coverage.

July 19th, 2007 at 10:06 amYeah let’s force those women to have babies so that we can build up a sizeable workforce of unskilled low wage workers. Yipee! Why stop there why not force the pregnancy on the women to begin with. We can just prostuted them out to senior republicans and kill two birds with one stone. Satisfy their sexual cravings while building up an unskilled work force. Hey Tom do you think we can trust women to be out in open society or should we just have them all interred in a government camp. You F’ing Nazi!

But I just suspected that it would uncover more republican hypocrisy.

Someone tell me that he’s being misquoted. For anyone to say this in this day and age, is inexcusable.
illegal immigrants do the jobs that Americans won’t….but only because even cheaper labor was aborted.
July 19th, 2007 at 10:16 amNow there’s a rarity- a Republican telling people to think.

As long as DeLay is on a roll here, why doesn’t he claim that global warming is necessary because it keeps terrorists too hot to fight?

Illegal Immigrant: a country burglarizer who is shipped off to jail for invading and showing clear disdain for the United States. Deportation follows immediately.

As for the sentence he received, that was the sentence. the sentence wasn’t mandatory, but the judge felt that the guidelined merited the sentence. He’s a Republican appointed judge, after all (until he disagrees with Bushco, apparently).
Character? libby is a traitor who participated in a criminal conspiract to commit Treason. he should hung by the neck until dead, on the steps of the US Capitol, and lrft there for all to see, until the birsd and rats have picked his bones clean.
He’s a god-damned traitor to his country.

If they’re going to create some lovely vision of all of those beautiful babies having been born, then what about all of the repercussions?
That’s a lot of young women who had to drop out of school to take care of their babies and could, potentially, would have ended up on welfare. What about the young men who, potentially, took their parental responsibility seriously and dropped out of school to support the new little surprise.
What about those who, potentially, got married because of the unwanted pregnancy? Would their marriages have survived? They certainly wouldn’t have started on the right foot!
What about all of the societal consequences of a good portion of all of those kids growing up with one parent? Or being brought up by their grandparents? A good portion of those kids probably would have ended up getting pregnant as teenagers just like their mothers. A good portion of those kids would have grown up with resentful parents and therefore would have felt unwanted. On and on.

He wasn’t charged with treason, because he obstructed the investigation, you piece of scat. Do you ever wonder why, given that someone in Bushco obviously outed one of our own spies, no one has been charged with the crime and the inestigation has ended? History will out the conspiracy to commit treason (the motive was profit), as well as the act of treason itself. The guilty will include all of the senior BA people. All of them.
I take it, from reading your misdirections, that you don’t think that Treason is a serious crime. Please post your thoughts regarding exactly who outed Plame and why. Keep these facts in mind while composing your post:
Plame was a covert agent (according to the CIA).
Actors in the BA, including, but not limited to Armitage (as indicated by libby’s obstruction conviction), orchestrated the campaign to endanger Plame as punishment to her husband.
Treason is a Capital crime in the US.

First of all, his reasoning wasn’t based on any special treatment.
Second: Mexicans who drive drunk go to jail too. America has extradition treaties with Mexico - and Mexican jail is reputedly somewhat worse then American. So please, leave your KKK style “They is getting special treatment” bunk out of it.

Frankly, you have a sound rebuttal, but the attackers weren’t indicted because they obviously killed themselves off. The probable cause was there, however, as you state.
Rove, Libby, and others, however, ARE alive and would be able stand trial if the probably cause for TREASON existed in their cases. The special prosecutor, a good and thorough one at that, hasn’t exactly presented any proof for a formal indictment of treason.

July 19th, 2007 at 11:12 amIllegal bummigrants drive drunk, kill people in the process, and commit other heinous crimes.
Gee, that’s not what Tony Snow told me.
“In the small number of studies providing empirical evidence, immigrants are generally less involved in crime than similarly situated groups, despite the wealth of prominent criminological theories that provide good reasons why this should not be the case.”
Authors Ramiro Martinez Jr. and Matthew T. Lee note, for instance, that the Latino homicide rate in Miami is three times that of El Paso, Texas, which has one of the nation’s largest immigrant populations.
That’s not just an anomaly. Another major study, “U.S. Impacts of Mexican Immigration,” by professors Michael J. Greenwood and Marta Tienda reports that “crime rates along the border are lower than those of comparable non-border cities.”
This doesn’t mean immigrants from Mexico are saints — it just means that they may not be the marauding horde some make them out to be. As it turns out, crime rates in the highest immigration states have been trending significantly downward.
Total crime and property crime in California are half what they were in 1980; violent crime has fallen more than a third. The state’s Hispanic population during that time has increased 120 percent.
Similar trends apply in other high-traffic states, with the exception of Colorado. While Arizona’s population grew 41.8 percent between
July 19th, 2007 at 11:13 am1993 and 2003, for instance, the rates for every major category of crime fell.
.
I gather that CT doesn’t understand Obstruction. An act of treason has occured in the outing of a cover agent. That’s a fact. The obstruction charge is just that. Libby obstructed justice from finding out who committed treason.
You may not like those facts but they are facts just the same. There is a push to continue with the initial investigation and you may be eating your words (again).

Look, the trick you guys on the right have to learn is to enforce the law dispassionately. You don’t have to hate illegal immigrants, heck you are even allowed to like them, you just have to enforce the law.
Your endless rhetoric about “They are drunks, they are looters, they have horns and tails” is all kind of stupid: The law is on the books, the argument ended at least a hundred years ago, enforce the law.
And enforce those provisions against those who bring them into the country, and hire them at exploitative rates. You want to put an end to illegal imigration? Here is a secret: So do liberals. We just don’t feel you need to hate them to do it.

If Libby truly had all the keys to solving the case and let somebody get away with treason, then I revise my statements to say - bitterly and grudgingly - that’s there’s no evidence to indict anyone on treason because of Libby’s contempt.
In a way, I think the magnitude of Libby’s offense is coming into perspective now.

A latino guy getting a bank account in America. Hardly objectionable. You can get a bank account in South Africa if you want, but I wouldn’t suggest it, our charges are kind of on the high side (Worst in the world.)
An 18 year old latino kid who may be a form of nuts which includes violent outbursts and suicidal tendencies.

If you get busted for some minor thing like lying and obstructing justice, I will promise to pardon you. That way I don’t get busted, and you don’t do any time, and I promise you wealth beyond your dreams in some of this black gold shit we are stealing. Deal?”
They shook on it, and Scooter, being the Honorable civil servant he was covered for his boss.

One thing it might represent is a belief that the SW United States properly belong to the people of Mexico.

July 19th, 2007 at 11:52 amHi Zooey! Good to see you here - I got a bit worried last weekend when the incoherent troll ravings got to be too much for even you (you seem to have a high tolerance).
This immigration issue really polarizes people. It’s a problem in the city that I live in and no-one seems to know how to deal with it. But arresting people at the immigration office after they’ve been trying to get their legal papers for over 15 years does NOT seem to be the way to go! That’s a current case here, in which the couple’s American teenage daughter is facing being left behind when they deport her parents (who were recently thrown in jail after being arrested at the immigration office).
I’ve met illegal immigrants who pay their taxes, get married (often to born-and-raised Americans), have children and cross their fingers hoping for the best because they’re too afraid to apply for papers, taking the chance that they will then just get deported.
Of course, there are bad apples in with the good ones just like anywhere else.
