How about a new poll?

Fla and Ga results, maybe?

Has a Nazi that became an eye doctor in the US and stayed on the right side of US law proven his worth?

Or is he always worthless, having been a Nazi?

While I was attending the AADA, which was in Pasadena at the time, I lived in an old motel, it was the Astro Motel on Colorado Blvd, it was a real cheap dive then, and the place was full of prostitutes and drug dealers, etc, and in the three months that I lived at that motel four people died, suicides and over-doses.

There was this old German guy who was my neighbor at the motel. He drank cognac everyday and he had sex with hookers, and he just gave up on life. He was a general contractor in the construction industry, so he could have been wealthy, he did not need to live at that cheap motel, but he just gave up on life.

So, I used to play chess with him, and drink cognac, he was not a drug addict or anything, and for an old drunk he was very polite and gentlemanly. And over time we got to know each other. I found out that he was from Germany, and that he had been there when Hitler was in power, and he felt guilty and ashamed at what Hitler did, and he hated himself for being German at the time of Hitler. But, here was the kicker, he was just a powerless little kid. He was carrying around all of this guilt, and he was just a little child. I told him, you were just a little kid, you need to let that stuff go, it was not your fault, stop carrying that guilt around with you. I got through to him, and he began the process of forgiving himself.

The last time I saw him, he had cut back on the drinking, and he met a woman from Colombia, and she wanted to get married and have children, and so he was going to marry her and buy a home and start a family.

Life is not always pretty, but it was nice to see him redeemed and grateful to be alive, he went from being very sad to being happy.

Salute,

Tony V.

Hasn't Governor Scott proclaimed exactly what Ms Snipes is guilty of?

What is this "where's the evidence" all about?  None of it is in question.

My son,  who has not much followed national politics,  did mention in passing the senatorial contest in Arizona as "the one with the hot blonde. "  Baby steps,  I guess.

The argument is not about lawful immigration it is about illegal aliens and ignoring the laws. Asylum does not mean escape from economic distress. Italy and the UK are not third world countries.
There is nothing in your argument that you 'Still do not understand the benefit, if any, of welcoming violent primitives from third world societies. Violence breeds violence?" that makes any reference to the legality of entry. In fact, you have made it clear that you oppose the legal entry of those you refer to as "violent primitives" as well.

And just as Italians have proven their worth despite the involvement of a narrow sliver of their people in violent.organized crime, Latinos and Muslims have proven their worth here as well, through their hard work, their peaceful assimilation into society, and their civic involvement.

No more mi3 no more bombathons or shootumups, please.  Lets hear the two wrongs make a right argument? Rightwingers kill people so its OK. Yes you should be able to understand the constitution and be willing to assimilate. Just an unneccesary burden to the economy and social safety net. Somehow this became added to the democratic agenda under HRC to lock in the latino vote. Boy did it hit a negative nerve with middle America. Biggest political upset in history.

Luee, if we don't figure out how to solve the bigger problem, the smaller one becomes increasingly irrelevant.

Focus on the bigger picture, because it is America's appetite for drugs that drives the drug trade, not the gangs or the cartels.

There is no evidence of voter fraud. Scott has not presented any. Scott has claimed technical violation of.election law, but nothing that constitutes fraud or any irregularuty in the vote counts. None.

McSally may be Senator before.Sinema. Kyle's appointment was only to the end of the year.

Two percent of the US Senate are named "Kyrsten".

I would normally think 13k votes could not be overcome in a recount, but Scott sure seems to think it is possible.

The Krysten caucus will be fun to watch. Much better than the Willards and the Lindseys.

Scott is having an awfully hard time criming his way into another office. He should give up now before things get worse for him.

Spelling guide to the K caucus and one cabinet Trump zombiette:

Kristen Gillibrand
Kyrsten Sinema
Kirstjen Nielsen

Kyrsten will become the first woman elected to Senate in AZ,  and the first bisexual (openly) in the Senate.   Good to see the continued shift away from an old men's club.

She will also be the Second Senator to wear a pink tutu.

If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you.
