  1. Okay.........deep subject........

    I encounter this scenario on almost a weekly basis at work. Someone gets arrested for a criminal offense and gets deported by Border Patrol. Most often, they have been "voluntarily returned" before. Then they show up to their Court date a month later. I try to track down BP again when they get to me so I can have them sent back again, thus starting the whole fun little game over again. Because there are no real penalties for most people who cross illegally there is no real risk to doing it. I grew up on the border and its always been this way. Most of them are working, have fake social security numbers and as a result pay FICA and SS into the system, but claim so many deductions that they aren't taxed. I'm all for deporting permanently the criminal element, and finding some legalization process for those who remain law abiding while here. Now if only we could also remove some of our own criminals.....then we could have an exchange program maybe??? We'll take ten hard workers for every scum bag they take of ours?????

  2. Good point. Both parties need to cut this recorded phone message crap out though. Laura Bush called my mom three times last week to remind her to vote.......phone calls to a woman whos going through chemo and a bone marrow transplant and has already voted by absentee ballot FTL

  3. It was pretty neat to see how the RNC's grassroots efforts work - definately more effective than the Democrats methods.

    Remember.......Dean was the king of grassroots. On a side note.....my brother deploys in a couple days for Afganistan. I'm glad the Dems one so many spots so maybe..just maybe he can get his ass back here sometime in the near future. That's a purely selfish statement and yes.........entirely wrong way to look at winning this war but he's the only one I got so I'm allowed.

  4. That would certainly be nice wouldn't it. I think it was Colin Powell that said if you break it, you've gotta fix it. It's kinda the same situation as post WWII Europe with the Marshall plan. If we pump the money and effort into it we can ensure that a government friendly to US will survive.

    Rebuilding now is really our only choice. When people are starving/homeless/terrified they naturally turn to idealogical "saviors" for inspiration and relief from their woes. If we fix the damn place then at least there is some chance that the countries won't completely turn to fanatacism. While I personally don't like the fact that our men and women are dying/being maimed over there....now that we're in we're in

  5. 91 is all I use in my NA and have heard the same is "strongly reccomended" others say it doesn't matter. I would say this...when I first bought the green machine last year the first thing my dad said was to run premium unless I just really liked engine knock...and he hadn't owned a Volvo for 20 years!

    forgot......... pm me once you put the ECU in and tell me if it was worth it..

  6. Bump for a cool dude and some sweet deals.

    I can't believe this stuff hasn't all sold yet.....

    You can also PM me for information about it, or if you want to buy the stuff....I can personally make the deal....I've seen everything listed in person....no bs here....just good prices.

    Okay...I'll bite cuz I get paid in a week. What's left that will fit on my 1995 850? (I was saving for the black Turbo in Texas, but since he hasn't posted anything definite....maybe I can buy some nice stuff for the current ride.)
