33 Senators Voted Against English as America 'S Official Language June 6, 2007

Senators:
Your vote against an amendment to the Immigration Bill 1348, to make English America 'S official language is astounding. On D-Day no less when we honor those that sacrificed in order to secure the bedrock character and principles of America .
I can only surmise your vote reflects a loyalty to illegal aliens.
I don't much care where you come from, what your religion is, whether you're black, white or some other color, male or female, democrat, republican or independent, but I do care when you're a United States Senator, representing citizens of America and vote against English as the official language of the United States
Your vote reflects betrayal, political surrender, violates your pledge of allegiance, dishonors historical principle, rejects patriotism, borders on traitorous action and, in my opinion, makes you unfit to serve as a United States Senator... impeachment, recall, or other appropriate action is warranted.
Worse, 4 of you voting against English as America 'S official language are presidential candidates: Senator Biden, Senator Clinton, Senator Dodd, and Senator Obama.
Those 4 Senators vying to lead America but won't or don't have the courage to cast a vote in favor of English as America's official language when 91% of American citizens want English officially designated as our language.
This is the second time in the last several months this list of Senators have disgraced themselves as political hacks... unworthy as Senators and certainly unqualified to serve as President of the United States.
If America is as angry as I am, you will realize a back-lash so stunning it will literally rock you out of your panties... and preferably, totally out of the United States Senate.
The entire immigration bill is a farce... your action only confirms this really isn't about America ; it's about self-serving politics...despicable at best.

That's some of the stupidest shit I have ever read. I am so utterly saddened to know that I can't have the last minute of my life back from reading that backwards ass cowboy bullshit. My goodness. What a ridiculous load of garbage. We have real problems facing us and this kind of crap floats aroun to impugn the intgrity of decent Senators. Maybe the nut cases who send this stuff around should support funding for Education. If we want people spaking proer English we have a long way to go, and it would start in the schols.

Not to mention that it isn't even correct in stating that it was voting against "English as the official language". It had to do with whether the government would provide access to services in languages other than English. http://www.snopes.com/politics/immigration/englishvote.asp And now if you excuse me, I have to write a check to advance some funds to the Nigerian Ambassador that emailed me too.

Kly, I always find those mock elections fun. I wish they'd do one at my school. It doesn't prove anything of course, but you get a general feel because students usually are influenced by what ever way their parents vote.  The swiftboating/dirty politics has been more low-down the last two election cycles if you ask me. I heard yesterday on the news that South Carolina is especially good at "dirty politics". To take a veteran/war hero and try to strip him of his honors is dispicable. I am not a McCain supporter, but I hated it when they did it to Kerry and I hate that they are doing it to him. No hero/veteran should have to prove his braveness/heroism IMHO  TIS

DT, I don't know if you've been watching MSNBC or CNN but yesterday they said S.C. residents are receiving calls from what they call "push polls" (recorded messages) asking questions such as: Did you know John McCain gave in to the enemy and told them government secrets?" "Would you vote for John McCain?" Can you imagine???? Some people (a lot I think) are really gullible and will buy into this crap. TIS

And remember when they devised a push poll against John McCain? South Carolina voters were asked "Would you be more likely or less likely to vote for John McCain for president if you knew he had fathered an illegitimate black child?". Ha. I have no clue why McCain continued to support Bush. I would have had more respect for McCain if he had kept Bush's feet to the fire for the 2000 campaign deceit.
Lawdy, it would be so funny if it wasn't sad. You referenced the most deceitful and shameful example of politics in recent memory. Rove later defended this tactic by saying that they never directly accused McCain of fathering an illegitimate black child, but stressed the "if" he fathered a black child illegitimately, would they vote for him. Not only was it unscrupulous and hishonest, but it reinforced racial prejudices. A shock coming from anyone Bush-administration related?
Hey, how's it going?

I received the email today, which is circulating across the country about Obama. In short, it falsely states that Obama went to radical Islamic schools in Asia throughout his youth, sympathizes with Muslim terrorists in the U.S., and refuses to pledge allegiance to the flag. The email repeatedly emphasizes his last name in an attempt to discredit him while playing upon fears and prejudices.
What struck me about this wasn't the content of the email, but its source. It was forwarded to me by the guy, who manages a 401k fund of mine. I would expect someone in his positionto be more educated and wise, and his naivete is giving me concern. The distribution of his email was pretty big, which makes it embarrassing.
Is he next going to use my investments to pay a lawyer in Nigeria to release big money to him that he inherited from an unknown relative killed in a car crash?

The ability of some Americans to swallow the most implausible nonsense is a constant source of amazement to me, but politicians of all stripes count on it. Not sure I'd trust a guy so gullible with my money.

I received the email today, which is circulating across the country about Obama.... I got the same email forwarded to me almost 2 weeks ago (from a dumbass, though  ) I like how it started with this: We checked this out on " snopes.com". It is factual. Check for yourself. Seems they never actually VISIT Snopes to see for themselves... 
I studied Italian for 2 semesters. Not once was a "C" pronounced as a "G", and never was a trailing "I" ignored! And I'm from Jersey! lol Whaddaya want me to do? Whack a guy? Off a guy? Whack off a guy? --Peter Griffin My DVDs | Facebook | Godfather Filming Locations
