This time the Texas cowboy came riding hard — with guns blazing, aimed squarely at the flip-flopping maestro, the multiple-choice liar, Mr. Massachusetts — Willard Mitt Romney. The “Texian” came close to stepping over that fine line separating measured aggression and unchecked aggression….but stopped short of punching Willard.

The hot issue this time: IMMIGRANT BASHING! …and of course, the usual dose of venom aimed at that DARKIE occupying THEIR White House!

   [ ENLARGE ]

Bashing helpless people (immigrants) is a Republican staple:

“Mitt, you lose all of your standing from my perspective because you hired illegals in your home,” Mr. Perry said. “And you knew for — about it for a year.”

He went on, “And the idea that you stand here before us and talk about that you’re strong on immigration is, on its face, the height of hypocrisy.”

Mr. Romney at first sought to deflect Mr. Perry’s attack by giving a stage laugh and saying: “Rick, I don’t think that I’ve ever hired an illegal in my life. And so I’m — I’m looking forward to finding your facts on that.” Mr. Perry snapped back, “It’s time for you to tell the truth.”

As the two continued to speak over each other and Mr. Perry kept pressing his attack, Mr. Romney turned to his opponent and said sharply, “This has been a tough couple of debates for Rick, and I understand that, and so you’re going to get — you’re going to get testy.”

Mr. Perry’s eyes narrowed and he licked his lips, before yielding the floor to Mr. Romney.

The exchange drew from a Boston Globe report in 2006 that found that illegal immigrants were among the members of a crew hired by a company working on Mr. Romney’s lawn. A year later, the newspaper found that the yard workers still included illegal immigrants. At the debate, Mr. Romney said the company had hired the workers and that he had eventually stopped using it because of the lapses.

Riding along, with a roll of quarters tucked in his pants, buoyed by contender poll numbers — was uncle ruckus, the pizza-man Herman Cain.

Nigger came to the “lynching” swinging a 9-9-9 RUNGU, and frothing FRAUD in the mouth.

Alligator Moat!!…That’s an Apple!!…That’s an Orange!!…Electric Fence!!…Kill Immigrants!!…9-9-9!!…Obama The Kenyan!!…To Hell With The Jobless!!…There is No Racism in America!!…9-9-9!!…9-9-9!!…, sung nigger Herman, while sambo-dancing.

Peering from the far end of the podium, cuckoo doodle Michele Bachmann pooped in her thong, while scam artist Newton Leroy Gingrich bounced his fat belly like a weight on a trampoline — as the racist tea-bagger audience cheered enthusiastically, biting and sucking in the ugliness — with the gusto of a hungry lactating hyena.

FactChecking The Las Vegas Smackdown:

Summary: Republican candidates hammered each other for 2 hours in a lively Nevada confrontation — and often strayed from the facts. •   Cain denied that his tax plan would boost taxes for 84 percent of Americans, or fall heavily on those with lower incomes. A new study by the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center says just that. •   Santorum and Bachmann denounced Cain’s 9 percent “business flat tax” as a European-style “value-added” tax, which Cain also denied. The TPC study agrees with Santorum and Bachmann. •   Romney claimed his Massachusetts health care plan “[doesn't] have a government insurance plan” and relies on private insurance. Actually, his plan expanded Medicaid, and relies on that state-federal government program to cover many of the state’s previously uninsured. •   Perry and Romney clashed on job creation. Perry was mostly right in claiming Texas saw a greater number of jobs created than Massachusetts. But he was wrong that his state created more jobs in the last two months than Massachusetts did in four years under Romney. •   Romney relied on a disputed study from an anti-immigration group when he said “almost half” the jobs created under Perry were for illegal immigrants. Perry called that “an absolute falsehood.” But more neutral estimates support the idea that some portion of the Texas job gains were due to illegal immigration. •   Perry accused Romney of hiring illegal immigrants, to which Romney said, “I don’t think I’ve ever hired an illegal in my life.” In fact, there’s no evidence that Romney knowingly hired illegal immigrants — but he hired a lawn service that did, and was slow to fire the contractor. •   Santorum and Perry were both off base in claiming that Romney once touted his Massachusetts plan as a model for the nation. He didn’t. He said it wasn’t necessarily right for all states. Note: This is a summary only.

Conservatives jumped and screamed with Joy yesterday when a right-wing federal judge Sharon Blackburn — upheld most of the provisions of the racist, racial profiling immigration law in Alabama. The law, which, among other things, makes it illegal to knowingly give an undocumented immigrant a ride, also requires schools to check students’ immigration status.

Alabama’s H.B. 56, is draconian, worse than those already passed by Apartheid Arizona, Georgia and Indiana. There are also provisions making it a crime for an undocumented immigrant to apply for or perform work, making it a crime to conceal or harbor an undocumented immigrant, and barring employers from failing to hire a U.S. citizen while employing an undocumented worker.

As explained in the video below, the law “drips with racism.”

The lovable Rick Perry: I am beginning to feel about Rick Perry the way Fay Wray felt about King Kong. The big ape is starting to grow on me. First I was shocked and then I was scared but now, the more he gets attacked by those on his right (imagine!), the more a certain sympathy stirs in me. Here and there, the big lug is downright lovable.

A touch of sympathy swells within me when I see him on some debate platform, squinting hard to explain to a conservative audience how, on occasion, he has let his feelings get the better of him. He unaccountably felt a need to protect teenage girls from cervical cancer, and he wanted the children of illegal immigrants to get a good education.

He vainly tried to explain his compassion. But his audience remained cold. His biggest crowd-pleaser came in the Sept. 7 Republican debate when he took credit for 234 executions; “more than any other governor in modern times,” moderator Brian Williams said. The audience cheered.

It was downhill after that. Perry reeled, disoriented, chained to some of the more reckless actions he has taken in his three terms as Texas governor. He was pummeled for wanting to inoculate prepubescent girls against the human papilloma virus. This was the smart, sensible, humane thing to do, since about 6 million Americans get infected every year, and an estimated 12,000 of them will get cervical cancer. Of those, more than 4,000 will die from it.

Perry looked dazed. He virtually pounded his chest and proclaimed his hate for cancer. He acknowledged that he had erred; hatred of cancer can do that to an hombre; and should have left the good fight about HPV to the state legislature, which wouldn’t have passed it anyway. He had been slow to appreciate how conservatives felt that such vaccinations were the immunological equivalent of rape. They believe that vaccinating sixth-graders will somehow make these girls sexually promiscuous. As seventh-grade boys can tell you, there is no evidence for this.

Next came immigration. Once again, the party turned on him for lacking ideological purity. What was happening? All he had done was treat the children of illegal immigrants as ordinary students, but he was excoriated by his fellow Republican presidential candidates. Even Mitt Romney, a virtual Bolshie by GOP standards, came down on Perry as, in effect, not conservative enough. Perry squinted. He smiled. What in Sam Hill was going on?

Rick Perry was being hogtied by a bunch of conservative Lilliputians. He was being lectured by the high-living Newt Gingrich, who was most definitely not still married to his high school sweetheart. He was being pummeled by the shifty Romney. Jon Huntsman was snippy, Rick Santorum was sanctimonious, Herman Cain was verbose, and Ron Paul; well, Paul is beyond adjectives. Michele Bachmann, who sometimes goes days without lying, kept referring to “innocent little 12-year-old girls,” making Perry seem like a guy in a raincoat. My God, what has happened to American conservatism?

Perry stood on the stage and tried to get words out. They clotted in his throat. They came out like spit teeth. His conservatism was being questioned! How was that possible? He had stood his ground on global warming: The science was lousy. Human beings were not responsible. Lots of scientists said so. He’d get the names.

He stood his ground on evolution. It was a theory, sort of like Keynesian economics. He rued the ratification of the 16th and 17th Amendments to the Constitution; the former permitting the federal income tax, the latter calling for the direct election of senators. How can you get more conservative than that? Repeal of both amendments would bring Washington to its knees. And these are not new debating positions. They are laid out; actually, sketched out; in Perry’s book “Fed Up!: Our Fight to Save America from Washington” It must have taken days to write.

Then came the Florida straw poll and Perry lost to — Herman Cain. He almost got beat by Romney. He was being mocked by the pundits, scorned by party activists (who had booed a gay soldier); and held responsible for taking some principled positions. He was right about the HPV inoculation and he was right about the kids of illegal immigrants, and he was being attacked for the sheer decency of his positions. I felt sorry for him. The big lug may not have much of a brain, but he sure has a heart.

Road To 2012 — The Republican Debates

   By: Roberto Dr. Cintli Rodriguez
John McCain said there was ‘substantial evidence‘ linking wildfires in Arizona to illegal immigrants. The Arizona senator accuses Mexican immigrants of starting wildfires, but he is fanning the flames himself – of prejudice.

Does it surprise anyone that Arizona Senator John McCain has blamed undocumented immigrants for the wildfires in his state?

Hard economic times drives desperate people to do desperate things. Throw in the subject of immigration and a little bit of xenophobia … and shazzam! You have the recipe for a political ideology: blame the Mexicans! Send that recipe into Arizona and you have the perfect storm:

•   Uneducated and unable to find a [high-paying] job? Blame the Mexicans.

•   Social security and Medicare going broke? Yup, it’s the Mexicans.

•   Terrorism in the Middle East has you up at night? Blame the Mexicans for your insomnia, send troops and wall the US-Mexico border.

•   Crime, drug usage and communicable diseases on the rise? You know the answer.

Blaming Mexicans, or “illegal aliens”, is a tradition here; and in Georgia and Alabama, too … the whole country, really. Last year, McCain claimed that “illegal aliens” were intentionally causing accidents on freeways.

McCain’s charges read like comedy but here in Arizona, immigration is serious business – and so is scapegoating. It is [Sheriff Joe] Arpaio country, where racial profiling is American as apple pie. It is this state that gave us SB 1070 – based in large part on the unproven allegation that Arizona rancher Robert Krentz was killed by “illegal aliens”. Amazingly, another whopper was conjured up one week after SB 1070 was signed – that a Pinal County sheriff’s deputy had been shot by Mexican drug smugglers (the incident was self-inflicted). And two weeks before SB 1070 was set to go into effect, Governor Jan Brewer began to warn people about finding headless bodies in the Arizona desert. But the fantastical tales don’t end there: in this state, it’s not even that Mexican migrants are falsely blamed for real problems; they are also blamed for invented problems. Dana Milbank from the Washington Post writes about this:

“Border violence on the rise? Phoenix becoming the world’s No 2 kidnapping capital? Illegal immigrants responsible for most police killings? The majority of those crossing the border are drug mules? All wrong.”

Per the FBI, we know that the border region is safer than it was a decade ago, and that many of the safest US cities are along the US-Mexico border. But when it comes to fueling xenophobia in this country, facts never get in the way.

For example, Tucson’s highly successful Mexican American Studies programme is on the verge of being eliminated because our current attorney general, Tom Horne, has long maintained that the classes foment revolution (“Viva Che!”). A recent independent audit found all the charges against the programme to be false.

“Illegal aliens” causing Arizona wildfires? While the US Forest Service has made no such claim, McCain and his ideological supporters would have us accept his speculation as fact. What’s next? Blaming Mexicans for increased sun spot activity?

Aliens vs. Senator: Puppet John McCain blames illegal immigrants for starting the wildfires in Arizona, hiding his remote and taking his reading glasses.

“Sen. John McCain said today that he’s ‘not sure what all this controversy is about’ surrounding his unsubstantiated claim that illegal immigrants caused some of the wildfires raging across eastern Arizona.

Cochise Co. ‘Sheriff Larry Dever will tell you that the Monument Fire was started when the park, the forest was closed. So anyone who was in there is illegal,’ McCain said in an interview on ‘Good Morning America.’” — ABC.News

Racists have blamed undocumented workers for increasing crime rates, drug trafficking and crowded schools, but this is the first time anyone, let alone a respected politician, has blamed immigrants for wildfires.

McCain attempted to glibly dismiss the controversy by saying “The fire was started when the forest was closed. So anyone who was in there is illegal.” McCain is being disingenuous, he knows that he was referring to undocumented workers, and not to citizens who were camping illegally.

Pardon the pun, but McCain’s words are inflammatory and reprehensible. As a political leader McCain should be focusing his energy on helping the victims of the fire, instead of scapegoating hardworking and law-abiding undocumented workers.

I have my opinion, but I will leave it to my readers to decide if McCain is senile or a racist.
