I forgot to comment on the Boarder waveing fence story.
The fence is needed. It is needed to slow drugs and yes people. I want to issue many many many work visas after we take their finger prints after we have a way to stop people from thinking they can come up here change our politics to benefit them. They can learn our Constitution, and what it means “in English” and become citizens if they want a say. Otherwise they are just here for the opertunity to get money. I wish them well. Don’t steal ours.
As our those are the issues at stake those other laws can stuff it. I don’t know how building a fence endangers water, Antiquities, or native Americans, or there graves. I highly doubt that along that 100 feet wide corridor there are actual graves. If there were there would be a hugh and an outcries specifically saying such. Umm Grass I don’t know much about the dessert where I lived in Arizona but the grass and sagebrush at least a hundred feet of it doesn’t get my sympathy. There is a lot of that stuff down there. So I am feeling unmoved by the plight of the Dune runners, the weekend warriors, the sage and motley grass clumps, The native Americans who I suspect just don’t like the fence for other than their stated reasons, the Representative Raúl M. Grijalva, who definitly has other reasons then grass, the ranchers, etc etc,etc. And no I don’t think the Ocelot will be to greatly burdened either. Though I might have a little more sympathy for the Ocelot.
The Point: It’s Legal, CONGRESS WAVED THOSE LAWS. Without that fence I am never even going to suport or talk immagration reform. (exception I could be talked into fast tracking visas if I have a photo and fingerprint of the person. One mistake on a form and your at the back of the line, years doing paperwork, outrageous.) Hence we have a big incentive for building the fence. Last years bill might have gone through if that fence was complete. I doubt it but it would good.

Ah, Torture. I happen to think that that the US is not torturing anyone. I am NOT going to believe Amnisty International. Those people never have had anything but hatred for this country. A country that has conducted itself better than anyone else in the world despite its mistakes, blunders that everyone seems to point out 15 times a day. Europe didn’t start playing nice until the 1700′s. Emphasis start the world continues to improve. I saw a special with interrogators in Afghanistan’s. Keeping people awake is the most brutal thing they did. Abu Grab was a fluke thankfully and was busted. I still think the solders got off way to lightly. The prisoners were not hardened terrorist and they were humiliated. I think they weren’t terrorist
I also saw a Fox news channel thing demonstrating water boarding. IF these things weren’t just propaganda pieces, and I have no evidence to think so, and IF this is a bad as it gets this is no where near torture. I could have that on my hands. We or those who I would order if I were in charge would lose any claim to being human.
Gitmo doesn’t need to be closed, where would these ‘people that are prisoners’ go. These who have lost their humanity would go to Eastern europe. Western europe wound not take them. The middle east, I shudder, let just hang them now it would be kinder. They can’t come to the US. The courts would then lay open all the ways we cacth terrorists. Then I would bet it 2 percent of the masterminds, and those shooting at our troops would be let go and none of those would learn there lesson they would kill again.

Mac is against pork, right. He is a senator they all have voted for the budgets, those budgets have pork. Huh all senators have voted for pork. I am not defending them. I cannot defend Mac. To stay constant I can’t defend Hillary or Obama. You keep pick en on Mac, Why? Mac seems no worse than Bush who seems no worse then Obama. Hillary I believe is a step below them. Yes I compared them. He is going to get into that office and look at the choices before him. I think he is going to chose a very similar set of choices. We are in Iraq. Obama has said he will pull out as soon as he can. I don’t think he relies his generals are going to tell him this bench mark needs to be there or we create chaos. And I believe that if Bush were in four another four years he would begin drawing down about the same time as Obama. Obama might just close Gitmo. A nice PR move. Where do the prisoners go.? Is Obama going to use military force against Iran? Next four years is when Iran could be able to build a Nuke. If not a Nuke. Then Iran will continue it’s proxy war/terror against Israel. What will he do? Is Obama going to expand Social Security or Medicare. Yea. Bush did that to. How are these people different? If they are where did I go wrong what did I forget.
Obama made me sit up a say wow! I was glued to the set 4 years ago when he gave a speech. Socialism never sounded so good. Bill Clinton was good but not that good. I honestly cannot remember on what he spoke on back then. I remember pick out the phrases that could lead to the government spending more money.

This is not in defense of Bush, I have my many issues with him. Torture is a very serious issue, but do you realize how many memo’s float through his office and fly by his desk on a daily basis? A bit of a reality check here would not hurt. He probably honestly did not remember.

Congratulations on your recognition.

If President Bush’s lips are even slightly moving the lips are lying. It’s just his nature by now. And he knows how to pick those who surround him. This has been the Administration of Surrealism.

Congrats on the Top 10 listing!

On all the other issues you raised, thank you! These are tough questions that must be asked. It is unfortunate that there will be no answers forthcoming…
