    His blowjob wasn't "morally reprehensible". Lying to cover up a blowjob isn't "morally reprehensible". It's a little immoral.

    Nah, telling the truth would be the immoral thing. Lying to protect a lady is considered the moral thing to do, or at least it was when he was a young man.

    If you think Clinton's lie was so reprehensible it merited impeachment, don't you think that Bush's lie makes impeachment an obvious necessity?

    Only if it ends with a cigarette and a blindfold.

    But that's not really your problem with them.

    My problem is that they're not americans and they're coming here in great numbers and making a mess of things. What is your problem with border control?

    But your problem really is that they were born on one side of the dotted line, and you were born on the other, and that PURELY because of this, you should have the opportunity to succeed and they should not.

    It's their house over there. Not fair, but that's their lot. Go fix it.

    I know lots of illegal immigrants. They vary in level of education and job skills, but all of them, like MY Irish ancestors, want to put down roots here, work hard, and enjoy the opportunities of this country.

    Heh, mine were Irish too. Maybe the mexicans could go sack that fucker in Mexico city.

    Why should they be tarred with the bush legacy? Clinton and Nixon were at least competent statesmen, and Clinton's impeachment was a result of a 3 year witchhunt.

    No, I'd want the heads of whatever fool politicians repeated Reagan's amnesty program. The problem is that we have a lot of people here who aren't americans, haven't been through immigration (so we can filter out the gangbangers), have no loyalty to this country (Mexico is their home), and just work here because the pay is better. Mexico loves the arrangement because it's their number 2 or 3 industry and they don't have to deal with poor people demanding a fair shake (they just come here). The sheer volume of illegals is overwhelming the schools and hospitals and the fact is, they get a sweeter deal (free ER, free school) than the people who pay for it. Doesn't that rankle you just a bit?

    So they crossed an imaginary line in the desert without getting some papers signed and stamped. You act like this is the most heinous of crimes ever committed anywhere in the history of the world.

    Fuck you for crying racist because someone doesn't like footing the bill for someone that invaded the place and demands civil services.

    All I see is someone pissed because their schools are being overrun by illegals, while the people charged with protecting them do nothing. Nothing racist about that. The imaginary line you point to is a legal boundary, and crossing that line means that you're subject to different laws, so it does matter. Nobody cares that they're mexican, they just happen to be the biggest crowd in the border areas.

    And unless you're Native American, all of your ancestors probably at one point crossed that precious border of yours, and had an easier time doing it than modern immigrants have.

    What immigrants? Illegal aliens aren't immigrants, they're aliens. They haven't got a visa, they aren't here legally, etc, etc. The guys that built this country were partially immigrants, but they conquered the country. Get over it.

    Most in the US illegally are illegal not because they are criminals but because they can't get green cards to be here legally. If so called illegal immigrants were given a chance to stay here legally they'd jump at it.

    Why should we do that? Just because they want to be here doesn't mean we have to let them. I for one am tired of being Mexico's relief valve.

    Oh, and if you're not a member of a Native American Indian tribe yet you're in the US then you're illegal too seeing as how no Native American Indian tribes issued documents for immigrants.

    Duh, you don't give green cards to conquerors.

    Doesn't matter, really. Getting a car and then lending it out to others who can't get their own insurance is pretty reckless and not the sort of thing I'd expect to make any sort of money.
