Geeze David. Your knowledge of politics is about as in depth as your knowledge of "luxury" hotels. Quit giving conservatives a bad name.

My business was thriving as were most everyone else's until after the democrats took control of congress in Jan., 2007. Congress controls the budget,
but Bush was still president for 2 more years... as planned, with media help, Bush got the blame. Barney Frank and his crew blackmailed banks into
lending money to people who couldn't pay back the loans... there is a lot more to this, but what's the use, as facts aren't as dramatic as name
calling and blaming Bush. I wish Obama would get a backbone and accept that his socialist/ communist theories on governemnt control and dividing the
people against each other are failed ideas and harmful to everyone (except the few party members at the top... and the union bosses that deliver
votes).
At least Clinton had enough brains to see what the people wanted, changed his path, dropped socialized medicine (Hillarycare), accepted welfair reform
and other Republican ideas created by Newt and the new congress of 1994.. and even made them his own for credit, and it got him re-elected.

This is a very Interesting Thread with some very Interesting Information.
Let us Stop Blaming Bush and the Republicans for everything that has happened in the Past and get down to some real time changes that will help this
Country get back on "A Respectful Road".
It will be many years before the Immigration problem will be solved. My idea is close the Border and start Deporting all Criminal s of Mexican Descent
that do not have Legal Papers
RACISIM
I still have not had anyone give me a definition of Racisim.
Racist I assume is one person who does not Like another person because he./She is of a different Skin Color.
Nowdays the Liberal Bellys of the left have adopted the Word and use it regulary aganist anyone that {In their Minds } maybe being a Racist.
I think maybe it is more for the "Name Caller" than the one being singled out.
The Whites in the United States of America will never be Black!
The Blacks in the United States of America will never be White.
The Chinese of the United States of America will always have Slant Eyes
I grew up in this country and was raised up to Respect sll people and not to make Judgements on their Words but look to their Actions !!
Rick Perry is going to be the nest president of this Country and you had better beleive it! One of the basic reasons is his Character. How stupid it
is to think that a name on a Rock would change a persons Vote !If so Stupid Person.

Everyone around the world that wants the US to tank is betting he or another republican wins. I on the other hand would like to see the US back on its
feet, and thus the last thing you need is another republican dumb ass in the white house.

Actually it was Phil Gramm's(R) " Leach-Bliley" act that is most to blame for the subprime mortgage crisis. It lead to repealing major portions of the
Glass-Steagall Act. Although Clinton signed the bill. There was no problems when Clinton was in office. The whole housing meltdown happened during
Bush's watch. The puck always stops with the President.
It also didn't help with Gramm's support of the " Commodity Futures Modernization Act of 2000, which lead to all the derivative transactions and
things like credit default swaps and other highly leveraged derivatives.
However, if you ask a typical GOP, aka Tea Party member. They will blame Barney Frank, the gay guy. The GOP members especially like to blame the
Blacks and other minorities. They also blame Jimmy Carter's " Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) he signed in office. Of course the CRA loans were only
a small percentage of the total amount of loans that failed. But hey, " lets blame the Blacks and Mexicans anyway," seems to be he message from the
GOP.
GOP hostility towards minorities has actually got worst since Obama got in the office. It's no wonder Blacks vote democrat 90 percent strong even
when there is a white democrat running. It's no wonder why Latinos vote almost 70 strong for democrats. The democrats also have most of the Jewish
and Asian vote. I'm sure the Democrats have the Muslim vote too, but I don't actually have the numbers. If it's anything less than 80 percent I would
be surprise.
Islamophobia is off the charts in the USA espeically in the GOP circle. Sharia Law? Really? Is there a need for Sharia Law in the USA? Well apparently
many racist southern red states that always vote Republican think so.

Dey B Havin All Dem Der Votes ?
With SO many Votes going for the Donkey party and a record turnout, B.O. could only beat Crazy Old Johnny Mac by Three percent.
A repeat of that Hawaiian Punch is unlikely given the probable economic numbers.

Ken Cooke, Go ahead and vote for Obama again. Perry called Cain "brother". Oh yea! With all the real questions to be asked; to name a few, "Fast and
Furious", the loans to defunct energy companies, auto company bailouts etc. Perry called Cain "brother". Hang your hat on that! And vote for Obama.
Good God in heaven! Ignore how incompetent the whole crew is and put 'em back in for another disasterous term. But I see! Perry called Cain "brother".

What is wrong with loaning Chrysler and GM money? They paid the money back, didn't they? 
The 'incompetent' phrase is what the Republicans use against Obama, but they don't have any clear ideas of their own at the moment. So, they make
stuff up.

@Joe - Why do Cuban-Americans vote primarily Rupublican? I know that many of the Cubans here were not all wealthy. As for African-American voters, I
get irritated by Republican logic to the point of turning off to their simplistic opinions and their world-view. To each his own.

Simplicity is the essence of life, Ken. The most progress is normally made when it is simple, and therefore understandable. When complications are
introduced it is then that things come to a standstill.
Embrace simplicity-----------it is so invigorating!!!

I have friends that are Nicaraguan-Americans, and while I understand their disdain for Daniel Ortega, I don't "get it" regarding the whole
conservative line of thinking. Sorry, just me.

You, Ken, and about 50% of the population-------I guess that is what makes the
world go around.
Love the pics of your vehicle on that "other" thread. Beautiful, and I am envious.

Actually, any Latin musician will speak out publicly in support of illegals because they realize that as the majority minority, Mexicans, legal and
illegal, buy their music. Univision and Telemundo are forever praising illegals on the air but ask them how many Mexicans are in upper management at
their stations in Miami and L.A.......zilch.

Very easy to solve this immigration issue----Whatever the immigration laws are towards Americans of another Country, then the same immigration laws
apply to their citizens trying to get into the United States. Easy, Fair and Stops all of the name calling, as if it is not good enough for our United
States citizens it won't be good for others from other Countries too!!
See simple and sweet takes, as it takes all the name calling and finger pointing out. The same goes for investments, buying of land, etc. Make a
level field for United States citizens before doing anything else for any other Country!! Ok, problem solved and maybe just maybe we can all just
open a cold one and enjoy it together,LOL. Take Care & Travel Safe--- "No Hurry, No Worry, Just FUN" bajafun777

Mexican Latinos will vote for their best interests. Their best interests are the same as the majority of US citizens. The 2012 election will be a
landslide victory for the GOP.
