Ummm - NO. To be eligible for deferral of deportation you may NOT have been convicted of a felony (which both stealing a SS number and tax cheating are). Also not every illegal alien is eligible anyway. You should do some fact-checking from time to time. semantics. Committing a crime is vastly different than being convicted of a crime. The two of you are talking about two different things. -- Rob

Wendy I am not making any comment on the validity of the story posted and a hit piece is a hit piece but, I have yet to see anything close to the 60 minutes (or CBS news for that matter) level of the nuke plant piece or GWB's gaurd records No credibility left I take it you haven't seen the 6 second vine with 50 lies? lol so he says he doesn't trust them, and it was the worst hit piece he'd seen, and in response you tell him fox news lies. I bet it's still the worst hit piece he's seen, and he still doesn't trust CBS as those 2 things are completely unrelated to your post. -- Rob

Incredibly short sighted. Seriously. Yes, it matters. Tell that to Hillary. (yes, I do believe that was a direct callback to Hillary's quote) -- Rob

I think you meant "omniscient". Clearly it pisses you off that I was right when so many were wrong. Here is my post from Feb 16, 2003: Why do you believe every line the administration puts out without the appropriate skepticism, given the historical tendency of all administrations to lie to the American people and even to Congress? The "evidence" so far presented on which you place your belief that everyone "knows" about WMDs, etc. would not be strong enough to convict a shoplifter in a US courtroom (except maybe in Illinois where we routinely sentence innocent people to death), but you are prepared to go to war on the strength of it? Strange. don't hurt your arm patting yourself on the back there. -- Rob

I have a stack-on 8-gun. As was said above (Cabinet vs Safe), I refer to it as my "locking gun cabinet". The primary purpose was to secure firearms from my kids. Stack-on makes good stuff, as long as you're not looking for a "safe". -- Rob

But they won't be as highly desirable once they're legal. True. People will realize some of the Nicaraguan and Dominican sticks that they've been smoking all along are just as good. -- Rob

Start the popcorn. -- Rob

I thought you did is because your left was like a stranger -- Rob

profiling, when based on behavior of the subject, not the experience of the observer, is an effective tool. But when someone mentions behavioral profiling, all anyone hears is racial profiling. -- Rob

Did you know that under Medicaid standards, all communications with a covered individual have to use (no more than) 4th grade level language. Medicare allows 6th grade language. Commercial health insurance may use 8th grade language. Note that these standards long predate ACA so the righties can't blame Obama. The reading level the state of the union address has been written to has been decreasing for a very long time. http://flowingdata.com/2013/02/12/state-of-the-union-address-decreasing-reading-level/ I'm not sure what ACA has to do with it unless you're just stirring things up again. -- Rob

and if it were a black guy dressed in a hoodie, would it be better or worse than a woman? Wendy P. Depends on where he drives it through. Its no better though. Depending on where he stops, someone might toss another body in the back too. "BRING OUT YOUR DEAD!!!" -- Rob

Well That might be but they ask everyone That's just what they tell the shifty looking people. "sorry sir, but we're required to ask everyone." -- Rob

spending too much time on the forums eh? Yeah, it's easier than a "self-imposed" ban. More fun too. -- Rob

I think the police would be quite happy not having to send a message. What would you propose? Convict an innocent man of civil rights violations? -- Rob

You misspelled lopsided -- Rob

There was the "sandwich shooter" in St Louis: Vonderrit Myers. According to his mom, he only had a sandwich, not a handgun as the off duty officer claims. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/vonderrick-myers-shooting-offduty-st-louis-police-officer-kills-black-teenager-sparking-new-hands-up-dont-shoot-fergusonstyle-protests-9783588.html Must have been a hell of a sandwich though to leave gunshot residue on his hand. http://www.cnn.com/2014/10/14/us/st-louis-officer-shooting/index.html -- Rob

I would argue that a denied vote is worse. The Constitution provides for standards that, if met, guarantee one's right to vote. It does not, however, require that these be minimum standards to be allowed to vote. For example, the 26th Amendment does not require one to be eighteen years of age to vote, but rather guarantees that no citizen who reaches the age of eighteen shall be deprived of the right to vote. If a state wanted to allow sixteen and seventeen year-old to vote, the Constitution does not prohibit such a standard. I agree. I also believe that we should find a way to not deprive anyone of their legal right to vote while at the same time securing the voting system. I've not heard one liberal suggest that alternative. That would lead me to believe that they don't want the voting system secured and are ok with the (albeit minimal) fraud that is happening currently. -- Rob

Funny I had to point the same thing out to you yesterday! No, you just claimed an insult because I pointed out some FACTS that you didn't like. You aren't entitled to your own facts. that's ok. you claimed insult and then clipped the part of the post that labeled it as levity. -- Rob

Clearly. You sound like my wife. Now put on your big girl panties and go teach some physics. When my freshman physics prof explained the Cavendish experiment, he made the observation that you get better results if you use really heavy balls. He then queued the music (AC/DC) and got a laugh. There is something to be said about levity. Even when it's not politically correct. -- Rob

Nope, I'm pointing out that I answered his question and in response HE moved the goal posts. Apparently with your approval. no, we just know that picking nits is the only way you can make yourself think your argument holds water. It's ok. We'll let you have that delusion. -- Rob

You made the claim, the onus is on you to provide supporting evidence. there is VERY little ever posted in this forum that ever remotely resembles evidence. I've seen videos of Wendy Davis campaign volunteers discussing using their husband's absentee ballot to vote. I'd go spend time looking for that video, but that wasn't the point of my post (which you didn't read apparently). My point was that before we can secure the voting system, we should find a way to not disenfranchise anyone. You don't seem to think it's required to secure the voting system. You appear to support ignoring voter fraud. You should run for office. I hear that ignoring inconvenient laws is what the popular politicians are doing. You would fit right in. -- Rob

10/10 Irony score. Congratulations! I didn't think it would get a 10/10, but thank you for acknowledging my efforts. -- Rob

That's complete bullshit. So you assert that there do not exist any democrats that support voter fraud? I'll give you credit that you're smart, and your reply was just a kneejerk emotional response. -- Rob

so you're ignoring the context of the discussion to pick nits. Just so we're clear on that. -- Rob
