Bill Clinton said that Ohio and Texas were the Senator’s only hope in getting the nomination. This is not a guarantee for the nom, but it would justify her staying in the race. What do you think the chances are of Senator Clinton getting the nomination at this point?
Rand Paul, Sharron Angle, Christine O’Donnell, Joe Miller, Ken Buck, Marco Rubio, Carly Fiorina, and Linda McMahon?
Also, are Carl Paladino, Jan Brewer, and Meg Whitman going to be elected governors?
And Allen West, Rich Iott, and that person in Texas. Are they going to enter the congress?
Mike Bloom: That preacher. The one who talked about overthrowing the government.
McSame’s bff Phil Gramm was a senator from Texas. But he was abusing his position, giving money to his wife. So he resigned under less than honorable circumstances. McSame promissed him an ambassadorship. So he donates to his campaign n he repays him by putting him on th payroll n sticking taxpayers with him.
County hospitals in texas are paying for care of illegal that is not allowed by law. The law states they can only pay for non-emergency care if its done with money from the fed’s only. Not with local money. Parkland hospital in Dallas doesnt ask ones legal status and gives free care to illegals. Here is a letter from a senator in Texas who says its illegal. Anyone a lawyer? I want to sue!
Dear
Thank you for contacting me regarding recent federal legislation and its impact on local entities administering non-emergency health care to illegal immigrants.
The federal Deficit Reduction Act, passed earlier this year by Congress, requires states to verify the citizenship of applicants for Medicaid benefits. Prior to the Act, illegal immigrants were not eligible for Medicaid benefits. Illegal immigrants remain ineligible for Medicaid benefits under the new provisions; however, the number of illegal immigrants unlawfully receiving benefits could now conceivably decrease because of the more stringent verification requirements.
The federal Personal Responsibility Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 provides that illegal immigrants are ineligible for state and local public benefits unless a state enacts a law affirmatively providing that they are eligible for certain benefits. In Texas, local hospitals are permitted, but not required, to provide non-emergency public health services to illegal immigrants who are otherwise ineligible under federal law. However, the local entity may only use local funds for this purpose and is prohibited from using state or federal funds. The federal Deficit Reduction Act does not impact a local entity’s right to provide non-emergency benefits to illegal immigrants since no state or federal funds may be utilized and the hospitals are not receiving Medicaid reimbursements.
I would encourage you to share your concerns regarding local hospitals’ decisions to offer non-emergency health services with those that have chosen to do so, and will also remain mindful of your inquiry as I continue to closely monitor this issue. In the meantime, please do not hesitate to contact me again regarding any matter of importance to you.
Very truly yours,
Senator Jane Nelson
You know, the Radical Republican Party of Lincoln, the Progressive Republican Party of Theodore Roosevelt, and even the Liberal Republican Party of Nelson Rockefeller.
When did it all start going down hill?
And to those who say the same thing of Dems, what changed? We got rid of our racist southern CONSERVATIVE wing. Good riddance! Yup Repubs can keep them!
“Southern Bloc”
The name given to a group of conservative southern Democratic Senators, and one Republican Senator (John Tower of Texas), who opposed passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The southern bloc was led by Senator Richard Russell of Georgia.

hirony,
FDR, Truman, and JFK were all self-described LIBERALS and for social programs to get Americans back to work.
Easy question, easy answers. The whole Ron Paul movement actually believes that Ron has a legitimate at the Presidency. What the Hell. Realistically speaking, he doesn’t even have enough support in Texas to become a US Senator.
Texas won’t give up a bunch of Neo-Conservative Extremists in favor of a Libertarian kinda guy, thus almost certainly casting doubt as to whether he had a good shot at the Presidency.
Trump is quite right actually, it’s sad seeing him never becoming President. IMO, what is supposed to be a Free Country, America will always reject the Idea of Libertarianism. Don’t even get Rand Paul involved… One can hardly compare him to his daddy.
“Senate votes to block funds for Mexican trucks; FMCSA says it will continue to work with Congress — The Senate Tuesday voted to ban Mexican trucks from American roadways, but the FMCSA says it will continue to work with Congress “through the conference process” get the project funded.”
The following is a big fat lie. There will be no new opportunities for American truckers after Mexican truckers take over except to look for new jobs on their own.
Melissa Delaney, director of communications for the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, said, “What we are doing is continuing to work with Congress through the conference process as we believe strongly in the demonstration project’s benefits, including safe highways, consumer savings and new opportunities for American truckers.”
My own senators are wrong too. Quote.

Opps! That last part didn’t make it on.
Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, who drafted a Republican alternative to Dorgan’s amendment, said the attempt to block the trucks appeared to be about limiting competition and may amount to discrimination against Mexico.
I appreciate the explanation.
Bushfraud is now flirting with the poll numbers of Congress. Why aren’t we rioting like the Pakistanis?
Three senators who met with Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf after opposition parties won a governing majority last week urged a “graceful exit” from power for the close Bush terror-fighting ally.
“Were I their political adviser, that’s what I would advise,” Sen. Joe Biden, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said Sunday. Also endorsing a negotiated exit rather than a push from power was Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, R-Texas.”
I send a picture of The Che and the Cuban Flag in Obama’s Central Office in Texas and my niece send me some news about Republicans diminishing Puerto Ricans because off lack of speaking English. So does it means , the Mexicans are next and them any other Hispanic, them maybe the Jews and the Italians and the Irish and the British in the USA?

Lynn Forester de Rothschild, a prominent Hillary Clinton supporter and member of the Democratic National Committee’s Platform Committee … WOW!
“In an election as important as this, we must choose the candidate who has a proven record of bipartisanship and reforming government, and that’s John McCain,” Rothschild said in a press release coinciding with the Wednesday announcement from Arlington, Virginia.
“We can’t afford a president who lacks experience and judgment and has never crossed party lines to work for meaningful reform,” continued Rothschild. “Amid tough economic times and foreign policy concerns, we need someone who is ready to lead. Although I am a Democrat, I recognize that it’s more important to put country ahead of party and that’s why I support John McCain.”
