31. There should be ZERO tolerance for the racism that permeates the immigration issue.
Dobbs has been promoting a policy fueled by fear and hatred, and we've got too much of that sh*t polluting this country as it is. Obama promotes a comprehensive but fair and compassionate immigration policy. Dobbs is a sanctimonious sh*t who has nothing but contempt for fair and compassionate immigration policy. I see nothing wrong with confronting head-on that precise mindset which Obama rejects. We're going to have to go toe-to-toe on immigration at some point during this election, so in my view he's just getting out ahead of it. Other opinions may vary. :)
