Anchor rage, I’ll ask ya.

Maybe the boat spotted the horizon and was afraid Bush would steer it over the edge of the earth.

The Republicans are racists. They want their country back, meaning they want to beat the Democrats again. They screwed themselves in a million ways.

I think they realize their party is fractured just now and so they’re trying to really stir up the racist elements (the famous Southern Strategy of Nixon). If Dems react well they can bury that strategy and that part of the Republican party in the desert of Arizona. Immigration reform will destroy the Republican coalition of racists, non-racist Christians and Western Libertarians.

And the republican Supremes just helped out the democrats big time too.

I cannot believe they undid Brown.

Did they forget there’s ALREADY a t.v. ad campaign asking “What can Brown do for you?”

Dems should take this momentary focus on immigration and ram a great piece of legislation through the pipes so all the bigoted Repubs look like the morons they are.

Separate border protection from immigration and open the way for more people to come in to work — in the classic American tradition of emigrating to find the good life!

“I think Putin makes Georgie nervous” – MM

I thought Poppy and Bar were going to chaperon…
