You know this is touching

A right wing religious leader supports Obama on his immigration policy.

Why?? because the Hispanic tithe to church's is dropping like a rock as they all go home.

The sincerity makes me want to puke.

That's pretty cynical.

A less partisan analysis would be that a (presumed) Conservative Republican actually had a moment of clarity.

"They didn't do anything wrong."

Seems like a reason to back non deportation to me.

Are you saying that legal hispanics dont tithe? And how many legals are there? I dont know, as that isnt my top priotities to know.


Perhaps it also means that legal hispanics have fewer dollars to give because of obamas stnace on energy, and the over all economy of the US. Which is negative in all regards? Tax the shit out of who does well. And they cant higher more people to expand. The small business people always want to expand. so they can make more money.

Dont you want to expand your company so you can make your income grow?


Prove it. Small business folks. Vote with your business at stake.

Once again you're wrong. How about the rich and businesses large and small pay their fair share? It's time for the middle class to stop carrying them IMO.

It's on you to prove your assertions not us Bud.

I thought businesses only expand when the demand for their service/product warrants it? Show me the business owner who just arbitrarily hires more people that he has no need for, because he has the "extra" money.....

Small clue; If I'm running a business and I don't need more employees, I'm not hiring anyone. If I have "extra" money, I'm paying off debt, banking it, reinvesting in the business in other ways (Better equipment, streamilned operations, etc.) or taking a nice cruise.

If things actually worked the way you think they do, all of those "1%ers" would be "creating" jobs hand over fist. But, they're not. They're out on that cruise and bitching about paying for unemployment.

I'll leave hiring people to stand around with their thumbs up their asses to geniuses like you.

I can't help but suspect that Land's proclamation was part of the Romney campaign's damage control.

It is going to be difficult to support for any length of time the deportation of decent kids who came here with their parents.

I agree this pastor might be trying to find a way out for the Repubs.

Next thing you know, it'll be all their idea.
