If we have a welfare state, then we must limit immigration. But if we have a more stuff private, then immigrants should be welcomed as they were in the many waves of immigration in our country...

Funny, someone else comes to mind who also wanted amnesty to illegal immigrants, a very prominent figure of the GOP.....dang, who is that?

Wait, that wouldn't happen to be the GOP leader, President Bush now, would it? Funny that!

Pot, meet kettle.

Out of curiousity, Latin, you are a legal citizen of this great country of ours, right? It's merely idle speculation on my part, to be certain, but considering English is your second language, you live in Miami, just wondering......

I quote agree with the assertion that this is no time to learn foreign policy on the job.

quote:

Biden: GOP candidates, except McCain, know ‘virtually nothing’ about foreign policy By Klaus Marre October 21, 2007 Sen. Joseph Biden (Del.), chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination, said the Republican White House contenders, with the exception of Sen. John McCain (Ariz.), “know virtually nothing about foreign policy.” Biden is running on his background in foreign policy, arguing that the next president will not have the benefit of learning on the job and instead must be able to understand and deal with delicate situations from day one. The senator also stated that he is the only candidate to have put forward a plan to get out of Iraq. His proposal to decentralize Iraq’s government recently received broad support in the Senate. McCain had criticized the proposal, saying it would require hundreds of thousands of additional U.S. troops. Biden disagreed with the assessment, and charged McCain and the other GOP candidates of buying into the philosophy of President Bush that it is possible to create a strong central Iraqi government that would end sectarian strife. “It will not happen in your lifetime,” Biden, who appeared on ABC’s This Week with George Stephanopoulos,” said. “Never before has a sectarian -- self-sustaining sectarian violence ended in any other one of four ways: You put in a dictator, you pick one side to beat the other side, you occupy for two generations, or you have a federal system.” Biden’s harsh assessment of the GOP field and its foreign policy credentials came in response to a question about stepped up rhetoric on Iran, specifically former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani’s claim that Iran would not get nuclear weapons. The Delaware Democrat said he could not make such a promise. “But I can guarantee you I have a much better chance of stopping it from getting to them than he will,” Biden stated with regard to Giuliani. “His claim to fame was he settled the city, in terms of its violence,” the senator said. “He did that with a Clinton-Biden crime bill. Biden also said Democrats have to fight back in the so-called values debate. “Tell me what your values are, whoever I'm debating for the presidency,” the senator stated. “Do you value people making an average of $1.4 million a year getting an $85 billion tax cut? Do you value that more than sending every kid who can’t get to college to college, that costs less than $9 billion?”

By the way, Lebezniatnikov, Biden's stock rose with me last week with this support of Dodd's hold:

quote:

San Francisco: Will you join Sen. Chris Dodd's hold and proposed filibuster on any FISA bill that includes retroactive immunity for telecoms? Thanks for joining us for this chat today, Sen. Biden, and thanks for the leadership you provide the Democratic Party and America. Sen. Joe Biden: Yes. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dy...7100401628.html

And Hillary? Obama? Where are they in this matter? Obama has only briefly mentioned that he doesn't support the amnesty to telecoms, but he hasn't answered whether or not he'll support Dodd's hold or possible filibuster at all. And Hillary hasn't said shit whatsoever.

Sad.

Now if Ron actually gets this kind of support when it counts, then I'll eat my words but until then....

Dodd is ok... but something about him just doesn't click with me. Can't really put my finger on it.

As for Biden, he comes down on the right side of a lot of issues for me. He is the only one with a reasonable plan for withdrawal from Iraq (that includes specifics), he is the most education-focused candidate, he stands firmly in favor of civil liberties, and he's responsible for the crime bill that allowed Giuliani to reach national notoriety in the first place. And in addition to that, Biden is known and respected by leaders around the world and wouldn't have to waste the first year of his term by establishing relations around the world... it would be a clear and decisive break with the current administration and the world would immediately recognize that.

Ron Paul supporters are unusually motivated. It takes a motivated person to vote in the primaries. Most people, the people who they poll nationally, aren't the motivated types.
