(Note: Click On Link for Video...It's not on You Tube at this time :()

Sarah Palin gave a great speech tonight, focusing on the topics of what she would say to President Obama if she were given the chance. She focused on an array of issues, including immigration and health care, also paying homage to Ronald Wilson Reagan as her hero. I must say that I think this is one of my favorite speeches by her. She also coined a new phrase tonight: “I can see November from my house!”

Also note that I will be posting the panel with Palin, Prager, and Hewitt that came directly after her speech......(Snip)

[Spang]

...also paying homage to Ronald Wilson Reagan as her hero.

Her hero is a guy who granted amnesty to Mexicans?

[Spang]

Could you imagine the outrage in this country if Barack Obama granted amnesty to Mexicans?

[Spang]

This guy granted amnesty to 1.7 million people in 1986:

[Jim744]

First of all, that is a lot less than 20 million and secondly what were the reasons and conditions?

I agree with Charles Krauthammer's suggestion about amnesty which I posted on another link. Was Reagan's similar? I don't know and that's why I'm asking.

[Spang]

This guy - the hero to most conservatives - granted amnesty to Mexicans in 1986:

Could it be that you and Palin are finding some common ground?

[Spang]

No, Sarah Palin is against granting amnesty to those evil, smelly, lazy Mexicans.

[sojourner]

No, Sarah Palin is against granting amnesty to those evil, smelly, lazy Mexicans.

Palin on immigration
Supports a path to citizenship, but no amnesty for illegals. (Oct 2008)

Never supported Pat Buchanan for president. (Sep 2008)

Has not often expressed views on illegal immigration. (Aug 2008)

OpEd: Palin is sick to death of this immigration nonsense. (Mar 2008)

Supports a path to citizenship, but no amnesty for illegals
Q: Should undocumented immigrants all should be deported?

A: There is no way that in the US we would roundup every illegal immigrant--there are about 12 million of the illegal immigrants--not only economically is that just an impossibility but that's not a humane way anyway to deal with the issue.

Q: Do you then favor an amnesty for the 12 million undocumented immigrants?

A: No, I do not. Not total amnesty. You know, people have got to follow the rules. We have got to make sure that there is equal opportunity and those who are here legally should be first in line for services being provided and those opportunities that this great country provides.

Q: So you support a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants?

A: I do because I understand why people would want to be in America. To seek the safety and prosperity, the opportunities, the health that is here. It is so important that yes, people follow the rules so that people can be treated equally and fairly in this country.Sourc. (http://www.ontheissues.org/sarah_palin.htm#Immigration)

I support amnesty because if that happens, they become Americans and companies can no longer treat them like slaves. So, we either crackdown on the companies who hire Mexicans or we grant them amnesty. It doesn't really matter to me.

They shouldn't be able to treat them like slaves, but this is America.

[Jim744]

I think it's xenophobic, racist and against common courtesy to call Mexicans evil and smelly and whatever else (even if a lame attempt to be sarcastic and supposedly mock people).

[Spang]

I think it's xenophobic, racist and against common courtesy to call Mexicans evil and smelly and whever else (even if a lame attempt to be sarcastic and supposedly mock people).

I think you're a ******* moron. So there.

[Jim744]

I think you're a ******* moron. So there.

More name calling. Do you have about 5,000+ warnings? They don't seem to be doing any good.

(:|(:|(:|(:|(:|

[Spang]

More name calling.

Well, if you'd quit being a ******* moron, among other things...

[sojourner]

Well, if you'd quit being a ******* moron, among other things...

This forum is unbelievable in the way it chooses to enforce its rules. How many get out of jail free cards do you have and where can the rest of us get some.

[Jim744]

I think stopping name calling is the more pertinent issue. I missed the forum rules about being a moron. :laughing:(:|

[Spang]

I missed the forum rules about being a moron. :laughing:(:|

Well, the rules actually stipulate that you can't be xenophobic nor racist, but that hasn't stopped you from being so. I imagine because you're a ******* moron.

Another major SNAP soj. I'm not even going to respond to the thread topic. I tire of the childish bull from him.

I really think Spang is someone else--maybe one of the owners of the forum. Otherwise, it is unbelievable!

I should have known better myself.
