Some Democrats, even in Arizona, are fearing an election backlash over immigration, as President Obama sues Arizona over its new immigration enforcement law and pushes Congress to pass a comprehensive immigration overhaul. "My concern is that the federal government is suing the state of Arizona, ironically, over the ability to enforce immigration laws -- where if the federal government had been doing its job over the years, we wouldn't be in this situation in the first place," Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, D-Ariz., said. Arizona Attorney General Terry Goddard, the Democratic nominee for governor, urged the Obama administration to back off Arizona's new law, which allows state and local authorities to ask people for immigration documents during unrelated enforcement encounters – such as traffic stops. The president appears to be out of step with public opinion on immigration. The latest Fox News Opinion Dynamics poll shows 2-to-1 support nationwide for Arizona's law, including 73 percent of Republicans, 57 percent of independents and one out of three Democrats. On immigration, the GOP accuses Democrats of ignoring a border crisis and selling out national security to cynically court Latino votes. "The reason why both parties are playing football with immigration is because their supporters in the stands are cheering," said Larry Sabato, director of University of Virginia's Center of Politics. "This plays to the base on both sides. It's red meat for the base." The liberal red meat served up by Democrats mostly stops short of calling Republicans racist but does call GOP immigration policy hostile to minorities, particularly Hispanics, the biggest and fastest growing U.S. minority. But in Colorado, a recent Denver Post poll said 62 percent of Colorado Hispanics favor a law like Arizona's. The state's Republican gubernatorial front runner Scott McInnis supports it. But Democratic gubernatorial candidate John Hickenlooper, the mayor of Denver, opposes it, putting himself at odds with those Colorado Latinos. "Until Washington D.C. realizes that they are being absolutely and totally failures at border security, you can't talk about immigration reform," Texas Gov. Rick Perry said. On the other hand, Perry has seen his Latino support plummet and his double-digit lead over Democratic challenger and Houston Mayor Bill White all but vanish since the Arizona controversy began. Separate from border states – wherever a close race emerges this year, count on immigration to be a prominent wedge issue.

The question that no-one is asking: Given that Zero - with health care, crap and trade, immigration - consistently rules AGAINST the will of the people, and given that there is an election coming soon . . . . . . what does HE know that WE don't?
He's a zealot. Its not a 'conspiracy'. He firmly believes Saul Alinsky was correct. He firmly believes he's the smartest man to ever become President. He firmly believes in 'pay back' for imagined insults and slights for an entire race. he's the closest thing to a Jihadist this nation has ever witnessed in the Whitehouse, politically. And when we the people fire his ass in 2012, he'll blame racism. After that, the failings of others. Its soooo predictable now.
I understand that anyone who comes within 50 miles of the word "conspiracy" runs the risk of being permanently awarded the "loon" label. That said, however - just how DID a completely unqualified, obscure Illinois state senator - with no record of accomplishment - rise in 4 short years to become POTUS?
Eight years of media misrepresentations, combined with a POTUS that refused to correct the record is at the heart of it. Combine that with a religious bigot (Huckabee) doing everything he could to cancel out the most qualified nominee, Romney, which produced a candidate that only gained 37% of Republican votes in the primaries when they mattered (McCain) who had already demonstrated he couldn't win outside of Arizona. Add to it the arrogance of the Clinton campaign which believed they were heading to a coronation. Factor in the liberal viewpoint of the media when it comes to race causing them to self impose a new set of rules on a candidate because of the color of his skin. And on the day where despite all of this, McCain had a beyond the margin of error lead primarily due to Palin, he tells the nation on its most frightening day since 1929's collapse 'I really don't know much about economic issues'...you get a completely unqualified, obscure Illinois state senator with no record of accomplishment as POTUS.
See Op Mockingbird for details. The Washington Post is reporting that in the entire 77 days since oil started it's volcanic gush into the Gulf, convicted corporate monopoly felon BP has skimmed or burned only around 60 percent of the amount it said it could remove in a single day. The gap between what BP promised in its March 24 filing with federal regulators and the amount of oil recovered since the April 20 disaster has caused widespread confusion about the extent of the spill and the progress of the recovery. That confusion, of course, is exactly what BP wants. It's why the company hasn't installed a simple device on the blowout preventer pipe to measure how much oil is blowing out of the broken pipe. It's why they're pouring millions of gallons of dispersants into the oil so it will settle into lower layers of water, out of sight and out of mind, instead of floating to the surface where it can be measured and removed. Want to know what the avg Iraqi feels? Think like an LA Fisherman not getting your promised check.
©©Russian spies land in Vienna to be exchanged for four pardoned agents | World news | guardian.co.uk: the neocons never sleep! They simultaneously prevent the FBI from arresting the army of Israeli Jewish spies that run amok throughout our entire military and industrial systems while constantly poking at Russia and China in hopes of relaunching their beloved ‘us versus them’ Cold War games. This way, the military machine can continue to swell in size and the public can be confused about who is really sinking our economic ship.
The head of security at Mall of America displays in his office an Israeli flag flying opposite to an American one just like that taken in pictures of Palin's office while governor.
Please post the photo proving exactly what you claim, whininggold you lying witch. Maybe you can get mcclown to help you out. That moron still hasn't been able to tell us how many are to be evacuated from the GOM and how many million are going to die as a direct result of the oil disaster.
Big Fookin CRICKETS, lyinggold!
