Really?? Makes Me Wonder If They're Really Thinking!

Okay folks, I was watching Lou Dobbs Tonight again. I just have to point out that he and I are on the exact same wave length (as far as politics, anyway). So today I'm gonna rant about the Real ID Act, which would make it (virtually) impossible for illegals to get driver's Licenses. I don't really understand how our representatives minds work, this law will not be implemented for another 9 (yes, nine) years--thats 16 years after September 11, 2001. I mean this law is supposed to keep illegals from boarding planes, which is how they ran into the Twin Towers and the Pentagon. I mean seriously, is there any clearer example of dereliction of duty?? Driver's licenses to illegal immigrants?? I don't understand how ILLIEGAL immigrants can be entitled to the same rights as I, a citizen of this country. I pay taxes, I perform community service, I obey laws and know how to drive. But someone that breaks the law is entitled to the EXACT same right as me?? Come on CONGRESS!!!! Why are you pandering to people who don't even have the right to vote??? I mean dang, can I get some consideration?? I vote and pay taxes, you should care what I think!! Enough about that..it'll just make me have a heart attack.

Okay starting now there are gonna be two awards given out in every (almost) new post. I will be giving Kudos to some politician that is doing the job they were hired for, and the WTF?? award to a politician that really can't be thinking straight. So for the inauguration of the awards I give you:
Kudos to Mike Cox the Attorney General of Michigan. Mr. Cox said the smartest thing I've heard in this debate over whehter or not ILLIEGAL immigrants are entitled to driver's licenses. He asked how people who aren't legal residents of the United States be legal residents of Michigan, and using sound reasoning, came to the conclusion that it's impossible and that they are therefore not entitled to Driver's Licenses! Hooray!! Someone with sense!!!

Kudos go out to Frank Jackson, the Mayor of Cleveland, OH. Cleveland Mayor Frank G. Jackson is suing Wall Street over the U.S. economy-threatening subprime lending crisis. Jackson, a Democrat, filed his suit against 21 banks in Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court, naming venerable institutions such as Deutsche Bank, Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch and Wells Fargo for creating a public nuisance. The mayor contends the companies irresponsibly bought and sold high-interest home loans to people who had "no realistic means of keeping up with their loan payments," resulting in widespread defaults that depleted the city's tax base and left entire neighborhoods in ruins, the Cleveland Plain-Dealer reported. City officials hope to recover hundreds of millions of dollars in damages, including lost taxes from devalued property and money spent tearing down or boarding up thousands of abandoned houses. "To me, this is no different than organized crime or drugs," Jackson said in an interview with Plain Dealer reporters and editors. "It has the same effect as drug activity in neighborhoods. It's a form of organized crime that happens to be legal in many respects." (this was taken from http://www.politicalgateway.com/news/read/124315)

WTF?? to Hillary Clinton, Senator from New York, and Democratic Presidential Candidate. Mrs. Clinton was heard to tell a crowd that there are no illegal women, and no illegal men, either. Now I wonder what she means?? does she mean that people who have crossed the border into our country without proper permissions are here legally?? does she mean that anyone who harbors a desire to live here can come here with no consequences?? I just don't understand!! Pardon me Mrs. Clinton, but would you mind answering this Question?? WTF do you mean?? I would love to hear from you!

In other News, I will be in South Carolina on Saturday to canvass for Barack Obama, in his quest for the Presidency. I defintely need to request my ballot form Missouri, so that I can vote for him. I would prefer John Edwards, but I'll take who I think would be the second best.
