Negroblocking? When the Democrats tried to stop Clarence Thomas, were they "negroblocking"? It's despicable when Leftists use the race card.

I reallly hope that some of those Libertarian candidates that seem to be getting 2-3% of the votes in red-leaning states end up splitting the vote, and give Democrats a victory.

He can veto it, and after that is much harder for a repeal to pass. After a veto you need two thirds of the Senate to vote override.

Well the current quota system needs to change, as do the requirement for citizenship.
However, lolamnesty is not the answer.

Keep in mind most people on the right aren't against immigration, just illegal immigration.

Illegal immigration is out of the power of the government to stop.

They can curb it, but they can't completely stop it unless you make a wall greater than the wall of China (hahahhahah right)

Yes, nobody has anything against immigration only illegal one. But over 90% of Latinos are the results of the illegal one.

It wouldbe ok if anybody without a college degree cannot migrate to the US.

Source please?

I don't believe that to be true at all, unless you are only referring to straight-up Spanish/Haitan Creole speaking immigrants fresh over the border/off the boat.

There's actually a lot of people who are against amnesty and more for an actual path to immigration for illegal immigrants already residing in the country.

In other words, many people are even against handing out citizenship just cause they're here and more into giving them permanent residency

Excellent. This will at least help to prevent Obama from implementing his socialist policies.


Socialistic, not socialist. Fortunately, Obama doesn't want to establish a proletarian dictatorship.

Libertarians also draw from Democrats, and some Democrats had switched to the Libertarian Party. See: Mike Gravel.

Also you are evil. Good day.

Yeah, why would Democrats want to vote for Libertarians?

Libertarians are against wars. And Democrats have not been against wars since the 2008 campaign.

But they are pro civil rights. I was going to vote libertarian in the last elections, but Obama - all that despite my.. errr.. 'socialist' leanings.

but part of me wanted to vote in Libertarians, just so we can see how badly a libertarian run economy would mess up and discredit the ideology entirely. c:
