Legalize Immigration

It seems relatively simple to my simple mind, either legalize immigration or enforce the immigration laws. I have nothing against those immigrants who are not here legally, most of them are hard working good people. In most cases they are simply trying to provide the best they can for their family and themselves. I don’t blame them at all. I blame our government for not keeping pace with the reality. Ignoring small problems almost always leads to big problems. So what is the answer? I say some tough enforcement and changes in the law could solve the issue. Everyone acts like it is so complex an issue that we should do nothing but wait and see, or at least that is how I interprete their actions, or lack there of. It is easy to point out the problem but it takes a little backbone to actually do something about it. Our government is full of spineless wimps who only no how to whine and point their finger at their enemies. It is such a simple problem I am sure a simple solution is in order. And of course it’s all about politics.

2008 Presidential Campaign Starting Way Too Early

Wow here it is March 2007 and the candidates are out there campaigning like crazy. It’s all about the money and they are trying feverishly to get their hands on as many dollars as they can. To me they are all drinking from a poison wel but that is the nature of the beast. It’s too early for me to make any predictions or to support one candidate or the other. They still have to win me over and I am very open minded. Obama seems to have come out of now where or at least I didn’t know who he was several months ago. Al Gore has an Oscar and lots of cool stuff planned for the summer so even though he hasn’t announced I do look for him to get in at the last minute. Running for president gets in your blood so I doubt he will be able to resist the temptation. The Civil War in Iraq is likely to be the biggest campaign issue but if that was to shift to the environment Gore would win hands down. He and all the other Democrats seem to be on the right side of the Iraqi Civil War issue so if they don’t don’t screw it up they should have at least some advantage. Nothing is a given so who knows how it will be when the time comes to make a decision. It should turn out to be an interesting campaign season and once they start spending money I hate to think about how many television commercials we will be bombarded with. This is a good time to own a TV advertising outlet like Clearchannel, or at least that’s my opinion.

Election day 2006

Have your voice heard, don’t forget to vote today. Send a message to the whitehouse. They say they don’t listen to “polls” but today the real polls are open. If you don’t vote then you surrender you right to complain. Let’s make this a record turn-out so that the message is loud and clear.
