    Are Arizona's illegal immigration laws the best way to circumvent an indifferent president and congress?
    Question:
    http://www.newsweek.com/id/132231/page/1 Arizona's new law will eventually be seen "the most effective and nondiscriminatory" anti-illegal-immigration law in the nation.

    Answer:
    Yes and it is the best way to achieve them from breaking our laws. I hope Texas takes the same course. I heard we are up yo 38 million illegals, has anyone heard that? If the employers in AZ. are feeling a pinch they need to go to the local unemployment office rather than the day labor sites.

    Should those in support in Congress of the Enumerated Powers Act (HR 1359) put more pressure on its passing?
    Question:
    If you don't know what the Enumerated Powers Act is, it was proposed by Republican House Representative John Shadegg from Arizona in 1995, and has 21 signatures. The Act states that Congress must contain a concise and define statement of the Constitutional authority relied upon for the enactment of each portion of any Act Congress tries to pass. Do you support this Act or not? Does it need to be better emphasised on the floor?

    Answer:
    It sounds good, but it would make us less productive then we already are. And with this administration, there is no productivity. People argue the constitution as well, and what it's meaning is. Not everyone has the same interpretation, and I'm sure what Congress' constitutional powers are will be different among the political parties.

    Is Ron Paul the most conservative member of Congress since WWII?
    Question:
    http://voteview.com/Is_John_Kerry_A_Liberal.htm According to this one organization called Common Space's ratings (back in 2004), Ron Paul is the most conservative congressman since WWII. Jeff Flake of Arizona (widely considered the Heir Apparent to McCain in the Senate) is the 4th most conservative. Colorado Congressman Tom Tancredo ranks as the 20th most conservative. Barry Goldwater ranked #50. Libertarian Presidential nominee Bob Barr ranks #72. This ranking also includes presidents and ironically ranks the current president as more liberal than his father. John McCain rates slightly to the right of the Rockefeller Republicans. Are these ratings accurate? Is Ron Paul, who was frequently accused of being a liberal during his run for president, actually the most conservative member of Congress since WWII? Might Republican primary voters have simply confused the true conservative in the race for a liberal and as a result thought that there was no true conservative in the race?

    Answer:
    The man has consistently voted NO on almost every piece of legislation, even the bills he loads with pork that he knows will pass. I would call him irresponsible.

    Sould Arizona and New Mexico merging together as one state a good idea?
    Question:
    I belive it would simplfy things at least my life anyhow.Both are southwest desert states generally speaking.New Mexico is a democratic state,and Arizona is becoming slowely,but more surely more politically blue each year.I believe New Mexico would benift because Arizona is the richer state and could use the tax money to udgrade infatracture.Also we would have a more powerful voice in congress as well due to the increase number of electrial votes as well.It could help us become more competitive economically with California as well.What do U guys think?

    Answer:
    As a citizen of New Mexico ....NO!!!!!!!!!!!! We do not play well with others.

    You want to see something surprising about Border state congress members? Check this link out.?
    Question:
    http://www.kristv.com/global/story.asp?s=5410014 As you can see with the border towns Texas, California, and Arizona, 95% of the congress members with hispanic last names voted against builing a fence. And they even seemed to influence the other members of the congress in there states (border towns). And most of the Hispanic last names in non border states also voted against the fence while other races voted for it. And Most of the hispanic congress members are from border towns. Does anyone else find these statistics a bit odd? Besides that i noticed the democrats are mostly against it and the republicans for it. Anyone think La Raza has influence on voting in border towns?

    Answer:
    This is a great post! La Raza, Ford, Bank of America, and...via grants from OUR OWN COUNTRY, they are indeed pouring money into this. Some of this is tax dollars given to MENCHA, La Raza, and other organizations via Federal Grants... WE ARE ACTUALLY PAYING FOR OUR OWN OVERTHROW! May be we should check out the "freezers" of the Congressmen who voted against the fence and see if they have any money "hidden" there. I firmly believe that these subversive organizations are lining the pockets of many faithless elected leaders.

    Who is willing to vote for Congress & President to cut the annual deficit?
    Question:
    In 1992, a Democrat (Bill Clinton) promised middle class tax cuts but then got massive tax hikes for everyone but the poor through the House and Senate, each by one vote. Our national security suffered, it was only the first two years of the Republican Congress (1995-1996) where spending was cut. Then, a Republican (George W. Bush) ran to cut taxes and did, but a Republican Congress did not subsequently cut spending. I can understand this short-term after the 9-11 attacks, but our national debt and annual deficit continue to spiral out of control. Americans realized that Republicans, too, spend too much; Democrats were wise and picked up Senate seats where the Republican spent too much and/or was allegedly corrupt. American voters, however, are too slow in firing their Congressmen. Unless your Congressman is Jeff Flake (Arizona), I think ALL of Congress should be fired. (Jeff is the only advocate for fighting wasteful earmarks.)

    Answer:
    I will vote for the one that Secures our borders, stops foreign aide at $480 billion a year, increases our military budget so our troops can make more than poverty level wages, closes out our defunked welfare system, and opens up off shore dilling and the ANWR for drilling!

    Why aren't there more politicians like Arizona's Governor?
    Question:
    Arizona's governor signed a bill Monday that prohibits people from hiring illegal immigrants and requires businesses to verify applicants' employment eligibility. "Immigration is a federal responsibility, but ... it is now abundantly clear that Congress finds itself incapable of coping with the comprehensive immigration reforms our country needs," the governor said in a statement.

    Answer:
    Thats great, as long as they can enforce the measure. Saw a documentary a few months back that shows how illegal immigrants can usually come up with "proof" of citizenship when they have to. Plus you cannot discriminate based upon a person's ethnic background, meaning the employer has to verify the backgrounds of all employees, putting an additional burden on the employer.

    How do you feel Mexico is ready to file a complaint with the International fences damage environment?
    Question:
    Mexico has urged the US to alter its plans for expanded fences along their shared border, saying they would damage the environment and harm wildlife. The fences threaten unique ecosystems, Mexican environment officials warned. Mexico was ready to file a complaint with the International Court of Justice over the matter if the US did not respond, the environment minister said. The planned barriers aim to curb illegal immigration, a highly divisive and controversial issue in the US. The fences, planned along a possible 700 miles (1,125km) of the border, are to be equipped with hi-tech surveillance equipment, including sensors and strong lights. "The eventual construction of this barrier would place at risk the various ecosystems that we share," Mexico's Environment Minister Juan Rafael Elvira told a news conference. Those areas include Baja California, Sonora and Arizona, home to one of the world's most important desert ecosystems - the Sonora Desert. Cactus fences Officials said Mexico was prepared to file a complaint with the International Court of Justice but wanted to explore alternatives first. US Army personnel install sections of the US-Mexico border fence July 2007 near Puerto Palomas Mexico. Most of the illegal immigrants enter the US via the Mexico border A report prepared for the Mexican government by experts and environmental activists from Mexico and the US said the barriers could isolate border animals into smaller groups, affecting their genetic diversity. These include jaguars, Mexican black bears and the endangered antelope-like Sonora Pronghorn. The use of intense lights and radar could also affect nocturnal species, they said. The report suggested ways of minimising environmental damage, including "green corridors" of wilderness without roads. These would allow wildlife to remain connected but not provide an easy route for people trying to cross. Another proposal was "live" fences of cactuses, or permeable barriers to allow water, insects and pollen to cross the border. The US Homeland Security Secretary, Michael Chertoff, has said that the fencing is needed. He has rejected arguments that the Rio Grande provides an adequate barrier as water levels in the river often drop, allowing people to wade across. An estimated 12 million illegal immigrants are in the US, where attempts at a comprehensive overhaul of immigration law have repeatedly stalled in Congress.http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/6924475.stm I’m sure the animals will adjust. The birds can fly over, the rodents and lizards can burrow under, and the rest of them will just have to make do with whatever piece of that desert they find themselves in after the fence is finished. They make it sound as if the poor things will need conjugal visits. The fences threaten unique ecosystems, Right. The mexican raw sewage deoes not “threaten unique ecosystems” The hundreds of mexican trash piles in national forests located on the mexican border does not threaten unique ecosystems. The foot trails that go through restricted wildlife areas do not threaten unique ecosystems The border industries that have little to no pollution control do not threaten unique ecosystems. I bet our fellow Americans can post photos of various Mexican items not threatening unique ecosystems. But, of course, a stainless steel/galvanized steel professionally installed fencing system will cause immediate, extensive, catastrophic, irreversible harm to those very same unique ecosystems It couldn’t be as harmful as hundreds of thousands of people throwing trash everywhere and stomping down fragile vegetation.

    Answer:
    Their abuse of our eco system really bothers me a lot. Have you seen the videos and such? I was so appalled at the sight, they were saying how much it stank! I don't think they have any regard for our eco system. I'd be happy to bring in the photos and videos as evidence for the Mexican government! This may be my pet peeve!

    So who is really to blame for high gas prices, environmental wacko's, Congress, or the oil companies?
    Question:
    Well I've heard here lately that it's the environmental wacko's who refused to allow refinieries to be built, since there is a lack of refineries the poor oil companies can't be held liable, also that Congress hasn't granted permission for new refineries, then low and behold on Fox news of all places (Neil Cavuto's business show actually) I learned an astounding piece of info, since 1976 there has only been ONE application by an oil company to build a new refinery and that was in Maricopa County, Arizona. That request was vetted and approved within a year. So you tell me who's really screwing who, the oil companies arguements fall apart when you realize the (expletive deleted) haven't even tried to add capacity, they're also turning a $36.00 per barrel profit as opposed to the $9.00 that was the original target for good profitability, we're getting shafted folks and NOW you know why and WHO to blame so save me all the BS That Girl can you even freaking read What proof can ANYONE offer that environmetalists won't let us build, you can't have any since there have been any applications to challenge Hey TAp what part of the facts don't you like they HAVEN'T APPLIED, Gold some people Latest Greates can read and rationalize smart individual for these boards

    Answer:
    Refineries have gotten hundreds of permits to expand refineries and expand existing capacity since Nixon established the EPA so that premise is yet another right-wing fairy tale. They could get permits to build new refineries if they applied for them, but the fact is they don't want to actually increase the supply of gasoline since that would reduce their profit margins. The only reason they expand capacity at all is to increase their market share. The big oil companies have taken the record profits they've made to put the independents out of business long ago and block legislation to develop alternatives to oil and gas.

    If North American Union is a myth as some people claim, why is the Arizona Senate trying to stop it?
    Question:
    see http://www.thenewamerican.com/node/7748 QUOTE: "Last year the Arizona Senate passed a resolution asking Congress to withdraw the United States from the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America and block any activity that seeks to create a North American Union. In contrast, this year the Arizona House has taken the lead by passing a similar resolution on March 18 by a vote of 37 to 22. In another piece of good news, the Kansas House passed an excellent anti-NAU, anti-NAFTA Superhighway, anti-NAFTA resolution by a vote of 93 to 28 on April 4." See also State of Arizona, House of Representatives, Forty-eighth Legislature Second Regular Session, 2008, HCM 2003 http://www.azleg.gov/FormatDocument.asp?inDoc=/legtext/48le g/2r/bills/hcm2003p.htm And why is Snopes.Com still claiming this is myth. What is their interest in lying? Are all of the candidates supporting this?

    Answer:
    I only have one thing to say after reading these answers... Why believe representatives of our own government when Snopes has all the right answers? Snopes for Prez 2008!!

    Is there more early political background information on Cindy McCain?
    Question:
    I just read this and found it interesting: "Cindy who is 18 years younger than Gramps McCain and she paid for McCain's first campaign for Congress in 1982 with loans from her well-endowed trust fund. Her father's business and political contacts helped gain her husband a foothold into Arizona politics. I wonder how much of her trust fund that she used and how the political strategy worked to get McCain into Arizona politics? Real answers please and I'm not interested in Obama.

    Answer:
    unfortunately Cindy has made it clear. When the candidates were asked to release their tax forms she said thanks but there is nothing you can do to make me. She later released a summary with things on it like $500,000 from some small investment. Yes it was that vague. She also stated, I am not running for President and whatever John does is his business and what I do is mine! That pretty much ends conversation or research on her! Let's focus on those who are running.

    AH...I get it now - Did Congress hire illegal immigrants to write the Immigration bill?
    Question:
    In an attempt to break the nagging logjam over immigration, congressional leaders announced today that they were hiring illegal immigrants to write the nation’s new immigration bill. While some observers criticized the decision to employ illegals to draft the very bill that would regulate themselves, Sen. John Kyl (R-Arizona) said that the move was a “win-win” for the American people. “No one understands the thorny issue of immigration better than the people who have been sneaking into our country,” Mr. Kyl said. “Plus, these folks work cheap.” One outspoken critic of the plan was CNN’s Lou Dobbs, who blasted Congress for putting illegal immigrants in charge of the nation’s immigration laws. “This would be the equivalent of CNN outsourcing my xenophobic rants to Bangalore,” Mr. Dobbs said. According to the plan, which went into effect at midnight, the U.S. will bus illegal aliens across the border to work as “guest congressmen” to draft the nation’s new immigration laws. The illegals will remain in the country long enough to write the new immigration laws, after which they will be permitted to run for election for permanent congressman status. Juan Carmelo Gutierrez, 35, a former migrant worker who is taking advantage of the “guest congressman” program, says that while drafting the nation’s immigration’s laws is arduous work, he still prefers it to his previous job. “Being a congressman is definitely easier than picking fruit,” says Mr. Gutierrez. “Plus, you get most of the year off.” Elsewhere, the New England Journal of Medicine reports that people who play excessive amounts of Nintendo Wii may experience shoulder pain and may also never lose their virginity. http://politicalhumor.about.com/gi/dynamic/offsite.htm ?site=http://www.borowitzreport.com/archive%5Frpt.asp%3Frec=6750% 26amp%3Bsrch=

    I'm titling this, "Political satire falls on deaf ears." Everyone who answered this question must have just finished paying their back taxes or child support payments!

    How did Sen. Obama manage to rank #2 in Congress in donations from employees of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac ?
    Question:
    According to Yahoo! News: http://news.yahoo.com/s/bloomberg/20080916/pl_bloomberg/ a5ofc20bsi_1 McCain hit back at a rally in Vienna, Ohio, pointing out that Obama ranked second among members of Congress in donations from employees of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the mortgage companies placed into federal conservatorship on Sept. 7. He also reminded the audience that Obama originally put former Fannie Mae Chairman James Johnson in charge of his vice presidential candidate search. ``That's not change, that's what's broken in Washington,'' said McCain, an Arizona senator, said at the afternoon rally. http://news.yahoo.com/s/bloomberg/20080916/pl_bloomberg/a5ofc 20bsi_1 He's only been a Senator for one term

    Answer:
    No lobbyists are backing McCain. They used to be lobbyists. Besides, Obama has Raines and Johnson, the guys that DOOMED Fannie Mae.

    Should McCain be worried that 14 Republican members of Congress have refused to endorse him?
    Question:
    At least 14 Republican members of Congress have refused to endorse or publicly support Sen. John McCain for president, and more than a dozen others declined to answer whether they back the Arizona senator. Many of the recalcitrant GOP members declined to detail their reasons for withholding support, but Rep. John Peterson (R-Pa.) expressed major concerns about McCain’s energy policies and Rep. Walter Jones (R-N.C.) cited the Iraq war. A handful of other Republicans on Capitol Hill made the distinction between “endorsing” and “supporting,” adding that while they have not endorsed, they do support McCain. ********************* Obama is leading McCain in all polls and Hillary supporters are comoing overto his side.

    Answer:
    I think he should be more concerned about the evangicals who will not be voting for him, and the independents and disaffected Republicans who will be voting for Obama.

    Now that the Democrats are in control of congress will the supposed watchdog media investigate a DEMOCRAT!?
    Question:
    In 2002, Harry Reid kicked in $10,000 to pension fund controlled by a longtime friend of his in exchange, Reid got control over 160 acres in Northern Arizona.He introduced legislation 6 months later that would benefit his friend's industry.His gain on the $10,000 investment could range from $50,000 to $290,000.Reid appealed to the Mohave County assessor to lower the land valuation and decrease his taxes, in 2002 presenting a 2001 appraisal that valued the land at $1,000 an acre. The assessor's office made a downward adjustment for 2003 but still places the value at about $1,748 an acre. An adjacent parcel with similar topography sold in April 2004 for $4,260 an acre. If not a mobster himself, how 'bout a monster's best friend! Hey " trovalta_stinks" ---it wasn't the WORST thing Clinton did, go look here: http://answers.yahoo.com/my/profile;_ylt=Auspk1wY5PLhj5f 1owXvVPnY7BR.?show=3c5hQPHSaa woops---copied the wrong link: I meant here: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AjZ4n7Tlw7j 3voKPPq2Xk9Lsy6IX?qid=20070327154943AAR2l2U&show=7#profile-info-9 cca2412f33ab2f8b71315325213c7d8aa

    Answer:
    No, because the MSM are liberal darlings who will try to cover up anything a Democrat does. The only reason they got on Don Imus (who is a bleeding-heart liberal, whether you know it or not) is because he insulted a group of black woman. Democrats count on the 'black vote' to get into office (because my people still have this stupid notion that Democrats actually care about them) and so they can't have any self-proclaimed liberals or Democrats destroying them. If he would have insulted anyone else, he would've stayed.
