Tue, 07 Aug 2007 18:35:21 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.1 By: Hugh https://hughmcguire.net/2007/08/07/blogs-and-presidential-politics/comment-page-1/#comment-1029 Tue, 07 Aug 2007 17:03:50 +0000 https://hughmcguire.net/2007/08/07/blogs-and-presidential-politics/#comment-1029 I’d argue that any government (and electorate) worth it’s salt should be able to deal with more than 2 issues at once.

And I’d guess that rising unemployment has more to do with more manufacturing moving offshore than anything else…I don’t know any details of the illegal aliens issue.

But if you want to be able to say “America … greatest” again, there’s some work to do (start with, say, Iraq, torture, and finish by actually implementing the Constitution and rule-of-law).

I will admit that the war in Iraq is indeed a topic of concern but isn’t it being used to “quiet” complaints about the rise in unemployment and the almost geometrical increase in the number of illegal aliens in this country? And what EXACTLY is a “guest worker” anyway? (Can you say “ILLEGAL ALIEN by another name”?) Let’s solve the problems here at home before we attempt to solve someone else’s problems. FOCUS on America for a while and let the rest of the world “go hang” until we can say “AMERICA IS THE GREATEST NATION ON THE FACE OF THE EARTH” with a pride and dignity – AGAIN!
