How the hell can we survive 3 to 4 million illegals who have been here since Reagan and going no place now having work permits as business needs them for jobs i sure as hell would not do.? How can we survive them now getting background criminal checks so we know who they are? How can we survive 4 million these illegals now paying taxes into our tax system reducing our deficet? This is insane! How can we survive these people now having drivers license and insurance? How are we going to survive if our food prices are not tripling in cost if he does not deport all these people? OMG the end is near we are going down fast! Obama needs to be impeached and Deported back home to Kenya!

Fri Nov 21, 2014, 01:42 PM
Nov 2014

I was registered as an Independent for 56 years until Obama ran and I registered Democrat in order to vote for him in the primary. I leaned Democrat, but would vote for Republicans. I won't vote for any Republican today.

They have morphed into lying jackals without a shed of integrity. I am so filled with loathing for these bastards and their bleached blond bimbos that when I see them on TV I just turn them off. The women are especially obnoxious and rude. They won't shut their mouths and attempt to scream over an opposition to their ignorant asinine statements.

I was extremely disappointed that Democrats failed to get out and vote and the Republicans prevailed in the last election. I just can't understand what the working class people are thinking. Do they actually believe the outright torrent of lies that spew from these demagogues mouths or have many just become so turned off by the constant stream of propaganda that the have grown cynical of the entire process.

Fri Nov 21, 2014, 02:05 PM
Nov 2014

During Clinton he managed to get a whole lot of idiots elected who didn't know how to govern but who knew how to win with negative campaigns. These guys were raised on the post Reagan propaganda and got weepy about his "shining city on a hill" but never heard of Iran/Contra. One of their first votes was to make Rush Limbaugh an honorary member of congress.

Here's the scary bit.

These guys continued to get reelected and over time their seniority raised them up into leadership positions and they continue to select people just like themselves. They're criteria for public office in the Republican Party is how well you can fit in on radio shows like Hannity or Rush and if you can come off as an authority figure on FOX "News", well,...you have a shot at the presidency.

Whether it's the absolutely baseless claims of those saying the President is exercising power he doesn't have, or people throwing around the work amnesty without any idea of what it means...it frustrates me how little the right wing understands this issue.

The most laughable thing is if they actually understood what effects this new program will have, they would probably support it!

75. Conservatives think very differently than progressives. I was talking to a friend...
Mon Nov 24, 2014, 03:55 AM
Nov 2014

and he said that it is because conservatives tend to have strong emotional reactions around loyalty and patriotism while progressives value equality and justice more. When I pointed out that Republican leadership met on Obama's INAUGURATION night and made a pact to oppose everything Obama did no matter what, and I call that treason, he replied, "Sure. But that's the way your mind works. To them, they HAD to oppose Obama because the very fact a African American president was elected so totally upsets their apple cart. So, of course Obama is not even American, he's from Kenya, and we MUST oppose him every step of the way to protect the nation! Or else it will ALL fall apart!"

So, to my friend, these are otherwise good people who had this horrible negative reaction to Obama and his policies because he's just so different...

Hmm.

Or, they might be traitors. Or worse. They are collecting lots of money spewing this hatred without believing a word of it.
