Ask better questions about illegal aliens receiving healthcare at townhalls - 8/14/2009

Apparently some of the questions at recent townhalls have been about illegal aliens receiving Obama healthcare. Unfortunately, if the report at [1] is accurate, the questions have been weak and may have actually helped the Democrats rather than revealed what they intend to do. As detailed by Obama himself, the Democrats do intend to give UHC to current illegal aliens by changing their status first...

Pelosi doubles down! Family separating raids are "not the American way"; illegal aliens make U.S. "more American" - 3/19/2009

Earlier today, Nancy Pelosi spoke at the U.S.-Mexico Border Issues Conference and did not back down from her earlier comments in which she said that immigration raids that result in family separation are "un-American" (her press release here).

Nancy Pelosi: immigration enforcement separating families is "un-American" (Luis Gutierrez, Kelly Zito) - 3/08/2009

... just how stupid the remarks from Nancy Pelosi were: "Our future is about our children," Pelosi told a crowd of mostly Latino families at St. Anthony's Church. No matter if those families arrived two days ago or centuries ago, Pelosi said "that opportunity, that determination, that hope has made American more American." She said, "Taking parents from their children...

Nancy Pelosi uploads "Cat Cam" video; cute! really cute. - 1/13/2009

... the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi has uploaded a cute video to Youtube called the "Capitol Cat Cam".

The Cenk Uygur Race Card Play-O-Matic (John McCain, Fannie Mae) - 10/08/2008

The new first rule of the Democratic Party is: "Twist anything an opponent of Barack Obama says in order to play the race card". If BHO wins the presidency, expect them to abide by that rule endlessly. The latest example comes from multiple "liberals" who are trying to racialize John McCain referring to Barack Obama as "that one" at last night's "debate"...

... who've come close include Nancy Pelosi, the New York Times editorial board, and NY grower Maureen Torrey. As for the rest of the Politico "news report", I don't know why the Politico gives Gebe Martinez the time of day considering her extremely biased reporting, for instance: In May, hundreds of federal agents stormed into the Agriprocessors Inc. plant, rounded up workers like...

A challenge for Drew Carey/Reason Magazine (and other open borders hacks) - 5/29/2008

Washed-up TV comic Drew Carey is now working on a joint venture with the pseudo-libertarians at Reason Magazine [1]. In various video segments he presents the "libertarian" view of things, and the latest is called "The Cost of Securing Our Southern Border" (reason.tv/video/show/434.html).

Leticia van de Putte delivers Democratic SOTU response (Spanish language version) - 1/28/2008

Texas state senator Leticia van de Putte delivered the Spanish-language version of the Democratic Party's response to the Bush State of the Union address.

Leslie Sanchez ("director of the White House Initiative on Hispanic Education from 2001-2003") reads Univision's site and finds out that they're biased against the GOP, despite all the pandering that the Republicans have done.

NYT hides behind "terrorized" illegal aliens to support massive immigration - 3/15/2007

The New York Times has yet another editorial calling for "immigration reform" entitled "Immigration Misery". It's thankfully shorter than the last such screed ("They Are America"), but just as wrong.
