Comments on Like a Rolling Stone

Is Rolling Stone still that annoying big size?

I'm glad you're glad that Schmader linked the Rolling Stone story on Britney Spears and linked to it.

Seeing as how I consider Rolling Stone to be the worst magazine of all time, it's difficult for me to find merit in something they printed. But I do, I do.

Yeah, Norquist is a real genius for realizing that spitting and shrieking that the Republican Party wants to exterminate the Messicans might cost them the Hispanic vote.

@4 Not a genius, but impressive for his willingness to put electoral logic ahead of ideological purity, which is something Grover fucking Norquist is not well known for.

But I agree that it's very disorienting to agree with W on a major policy issue.

One thing you also forgot is how Mccain took a hit from his party when he helped draft the Kennedy Mccain bill which was by far the best and most progressive immigration bill to come out of both houses. Obama and Clinton were no where in these fights, except to vote for border fences, but old man Mccain was in the forefront, and actually wanted a path to citizenship for all immigrants.

Obama and Clinton were the conservatives on immigration. Mccain has since backtracked but he has been WAYYYY better than Obama on immigration. Hopefully this will not hurt senator Obama in the general election, but I think it might.

@1 - yeah, still too big.

It's not like walls every worked, anyway.

Bear in mind that Bush takes his marching orders from the corporatocracy - and corporate America does not actually want illegal immigration stopped. It gives them a never-ending pool of desperate people willing to work for slave wages and unable to organize or protest lest they be deported.

If corporate America really wanted illegal immigration stopped, they'd have stopped it. They don't. They just want to use it as a wedge issue to keep us all hot and bothered and at each other's throats so we don't notice them picking our pockets for more tax cuts for the wealthy and more corporate welfare.

The American people are concerned about job loss and making more money. Until the Democrats have a program that addresses this is a solid and convincing way -- providing real Hope -- the people and the politicans will engage in mutual pandering and scapegoating.

Democrats will blame trade, GOPsters immigrants, anything to avoid facing the fact we are the change we seek and we have to spend more and tax more to make ourselves more productive and healthy.

The solutions are socialized health care, college education for all, more studying, more r and d, more engineers, infrastructure development, and higher taxes on the rich, and lower taxes on the poor. Those solutions would create real hope, real unity, and real change, by actually solving the problem.

Good final para, unPC.
