Any form of Obama, McCain Amnesty, must first be voted on by the Congress and Senate? Then unless they secretly try to pass it behind closed doors, then it will never be enacted. Their will be such an uproar from 80 percent of THE PEOPLE. It will be the first time in history that our tainted politicians will be tarred and feathered in the Capitol. For the facts of the destruction of our economies by millions of illegal aliens feeding at the public trough. Sanctioned crimes in SANCTUARY CITIES & STATES by Governors, Mayors and their pathetic city managers. California being a prime example where $11 billion dollars, in welfare benefits for illegal aliens. If we enact the Federal SAVE ACT (H.R.4088) enforcement only law. Millions of illegal aliens will leave by self-deportation. ATTRITION! No job, they will leave of their own accord. Only anti-American groups and Liberal-Democrat-Socialists are stopping this law. ASK THEM WHY? Right now! Behind closed doors, the Democrats are trying to bring in more guest workers, EVEN WHILE AMERICA HAS THE HIGHEST UNEMPLOYMENT RATE. CALL THEM, TO STOP IT! AT NUMBERSUSA & HALT THIS INSULT TO US WORKERS? IT'S YOUR FAMILIES FUTURE. DEPORTATION OR OVERPOPULATION. IF WE DON'T STOP IT NOW, MILLIONS WILL KEEP COMING TO APPEASE PREDATORY BUSINESSES.

Mona Charen. I saw you spout the same pack of lies and propaganda on C-Span, and you looked everey bit the tired old Conservative retread you are. For every self-serving study you trot out by Cato or the American Enterprise Institute, which serves to give legitimacy to the issues and anxieties of the healthcare matrix of corporations, there are dozens that show that unless we get off the merry-go-round of allowing drug companies to set prices for medications, HMO's to set coverage levels, and the major Hospital corporations to set prices for care, we will never get the cost of health care under control. I am all for Mr. Obama's brand of innovative, fresh approach to this huge problem. It's about time we got the unholy healthcare Marix off our necks. Your and McSame's approach, same-ol' same-ol' "free-market" claptrap, will keep the campaign contributions and your salary and speaking fees rich, but will continue to make Americans poorer. You are a shill, and an ugly old one at that.

Wellstone is right. Until we get the free market out of every aspect of our lives and set the prices ourselves we will never be able to afford the things we want. Healthcare, food, energy, movies - you name it, they are all over priced. I need a Lamborghini. But the dang car manufacturer right down to the worker on the line charge way too much for the what they provide. Free markets my arse. The end result is that I cannot afford a Lamborghini. That is simply unfair to the max. But I am not so sure that Barack Cocaine Obama's socialistic approach is the right way to go. In fact, given his admitted drug use do we really want Obama to get into the drug business again? Hey Wellstone, just how much did Obama charge the bro's in the hood? You think he gave the stuff away or did he let the market set the price? I bet the market set the price. Now Wellstone wipe the foam away from your mouth and repeat after me: "I promise to quit spewing the hatred and ad-hominem attacks that characterized the life of Paul Wellstone." You do that and I'll quit mis-spelling Obama's middle name. And I was kidding about the Lamborghini. I still want one but if I get to dictate the price I am guessing that I won't really get what I now call a Lamborghini. Come to think of it, I wonder if Paul Wellstone decided he should dictate how much the plane he met his end in should cost or how much the pilot was allowed to make. Crashed and burned taking everyone down with it. Given he was basically a socialist, I find that kind of ironic.

Wellstone IS right. There ain't much of a free market left in healthcare after the wave of cosolidations and mergers, just like there ain't no free market left in energy. We pay the highest prices in the civilized world for second-rate care. This "free market" fantasy is exactly what the Doctor ordered so that naïve and idealistic Conservatives can be easily rolled by the corporatists like Charen who push their buttons. As to a Lamborghini? Sounds to me like RDH can most likely afford one, but like all "free marketeers" loves to pretend like with a little gumption and some good spelling, why anyone can have one. As to how much Obama charged the Bro's in the hood? Obama went to the Ivy League. Then he was a Constitutional Law professor at Chicago University. Why not ask someone in your family if they knew a brother who maybe looked like him? You know, hillbillies are always lookin for Black fellers to get their fix from.

Question of the day

White House officials and Senate Democrats met in private three times last week to craft health care legislation. Do you think these discussions should be more public?
