Well on that much we agree. Actually, no I disagree. While such non
binding resolutions are a waste of time (and they were when republicans
did them too) they serve the "politically expedient" purpose of shoring
up
the "sheeple" among their constituents. Dems can say "See. We TRIED
to stand up. Vote for us in 2008 because we are the lesser of two
evils".
And both parties do this crap. Symbolic votes that mean nothing except
as fodder for campain commercials.

Did that last year Herb when you brought it up. Totally agreed with
you on
that point but added that republicans controlled all three branches. I
also
called my congressman and complained about the amnesty plan. Do you
want me to send you the saps letter?

I don't think you understand that you are being sold out by both
parties
for the creation of the North American Union. The Hispanic vote is
just icing on the cake. And I no longer support either party. I voted
for
the independent candidate in 2004.

Passing resolutions when you have control is not impressive it is stupid.

And you know that, precisely, how?
They've certainly demonstrated being able to control autonomic functions-

Not while you can't do it, never tried it and have an absolute opinion about
it.

Yes; there are people doing it, in defiance of your absolute opinion that
they can't.
It's just that simple.

How? General Lee clearly did press into Northern terroritory. And
while they may
have argued the right to seceed, it clearly was a "rebellion" against
the federal
government. That said Lincoln overstepped his bounds on that one.

This is what REPUBLICAN Congressman Ted Poe had to say.
==========================================================
Poe repeated that his office was determined to get to the bottom of
these investigative questions. "In the big scheme of things, let's
assume that the Border Patrol agents violated policy. Assume they
didn't file a report even though the law says that they were only
required to file an oral report to the supervisor," he asked. "There
was no requirement in this instance that they file a written report.
Okay, let's discipline the Border Patrol agents, you bet. Let's give
them three-day's suspension like the rules call for."

Mike, it's apparently still not a big deal to you. And when was it NOT
a point against
Bush? Were these agents convicted under Clinton (who's also scum)?
The bottom
line is that a federal prosecutor went to Mexico looking for a drug
dealer not to
prosecute him but to use him as a tool to prosecute others.

No, there's no inflation here to notice.
Just save up your pennies -- they're now worth more in copper than 1
cent per!
> Raw material prices in general have skyrocketed in the last five years, sending copper prices to record highs of $4.16 a pound in May. Copper pennies number 154 to a pound. Prices have since come down from that peak but could still trek higher, Velde said.
I mean, just because the US Mint made it illegal to melt down pennies
for their copper value (! When did the mint get to make law?), now wonks
at the FRB Chicago want to revalue a penny to be 5 cents, since that's
more along with the value of the actual metal therein!
