OT Interesting remark.
"HeyBub" wrote in message
m... Hogwash, at least in the case of Bush 43, who had a rubber-stamp Congress. Look at his use of his veto power, it took him more than five years to finally discover a bill he disapproved of enough to veto it, prior to that he couldn't see a single wrong thing Congress wanted to do. Are we seriously supposed to believe the White House and Congress weren't in sync that half decade? It is not a credible claim. Don't forget the current administration allowing the Congress to draft and pass the health care bill that will have, in spite of its pedigree, be forever associated with him. I'm not saying no President ever has to sign a bill he isn't really happy with, but it's ludicrous to suggest that Bush only discovered he had a veto power after five years or otherwise he would have vetoed a whole slew of bills prior to that. He used that veto a dozen times once the Democrats took control of Congress, so if he didn't use it but once in the years the Republicans were in charge then it is reasonable to believe he wasn't too unhappy with the bills being sent to him. I'm also not saying Bush got everything he wanted from Congress. He proposed immigration reform including a path to legal status for illegal aliens (something folks on the right imagine only a Dem would propose) and he didn't get it. He also asked Congress to give him a line-item veto, but he probably didn't seriously expect they would. But on balance it's silly to pretend that the Bush admin didn't have a mostly cooperative Congress the first six years. |

"harry" wrote in message ... The rich need poor people to work for them. Illegals work for less money than anyone else. They don't *need* poor people to work for them, they can just make even more money if they can get some illegal immigrants to do your job for even less money. Of course one of those illegal immigrants will end up borrowing money to start his own business and you'll end up working for him. |

"Higgs Boson" wrote in message ... That the US Congress just defeated the DREAM act is a truly revolting example of the mad dog far-far-Right Republican obstructionism. Most Republicans are terrified of appearing soft on illegal immigration, so even if such reform makes sense they're going to oppose it. Meanwhile, which organization that has spent millions helping to get Republicans elected has also gone to court to oppose employers being required to use the federal government's system set up to check the documents of job applicants to make sure they're eligible to work? The American Chamber of Commerce. Ain't it funny how things work out sometimes? |

Ain't it funny how things work out sometimes? Funny peculiar or funny Ha Ha? They go through the motions to appease their voters whose jobs/incomes are being taken/threatened. But they need the illegals to force down wages paid by their real masters, the rich. Yet the turkeys still vote for Christmas. |
