Huckabee is a HUGE government fan. He might be a social conservative, but he’s a giant economic liberal. If Huck’s in charge with a Democrat Congress, we’ll see government expand more than even Clinton did.

I’m evil — but I don’t think illegals should get free schooling, citizenship, or health care, either.

Joe, I do agree with you on NAFTA being a detriment but the War on Terror is way too complicated an issue to debate. I am with Ogre on illegals, if you are here and by being here disrespecting our laws, our government should not be your benefactor in any way.

No, this also gave illegals in-state rates — which are taxpayer-paid subsidies. These people are breaking the law and getting rewarded with cash from people who work and earn it. That’s plain wrong.

The law simply stated that ‘illegal immigrants’ could not be denied access to education and federal aid, just the same as everyone else. It is an extension of a law that was passed (rather challenged) during 1985 (Reagan) stating that public schools could not deny access to public services enjoyed by citizens to any person happen to be living here (legally or non-legally)

Furthermore, all people pay taxes in a manner of ways – sales tax, property tax, income tax. Therefore, if that person has a job, rents, or buys one item, they have ‘contributed’ in some form to the economy.

Just because they are not citizens does not strip them of their humanity and needs that arise out of the frailty we all suffer from.

Besides, a bigger detriment to the economy of the United States would be NAFTA or perhaps the ‘War on Terror’.

Just a thought.

And there’s no sign it will end. Democrats in North Carolina literally select their voters so they simply cannot lose control of the state. Gerrymandering rules North Carolina politics.

That is sad. The south has produced some of the strongest patriots in the history of our country and now they have been overwhelmed by the leftest agenda, which is quit insane.

We have been ruled by Democrats for over 100 years. Seriously. They used to be conservative Democrats, but no longer.

I have ya’ll in my prayers… maybe common sense and outrage will prevail on this one. Indiana has traditionally been a Republican state… and we had about 16 years or so of Democrat Governors and then we got a Republican.
Unfortunately, he’s not demonstrated true conservative game play so I don’t have much use for ole Mitch. Hopefully they will run someone who can do a better job in the next election for Governor. When I was growing up, Indiana only managed to get a Democrat governor about 3% of the time… but that has changed since the farming and industrial base has erroded. We just can’t seem to get people with real leadership and common sense to run here.
The system is probably too corrupt to attract that kind of candidate.
