Ignorant,selfish bigots make the loudest noise, but fortunately they don’t represent the most people.

As a staunch Romney Republican, I believe the children who have been here the longest should be put to work deporting other children before being deported themselves. No free rides.

How could one be a staunch Romney republican, given that you have to chance your stance on every issue multiple times a day? Perhaps “a changing with the wind Romney republican” might be more descriptive?
(I understand your comment was snark, but I just couldn’t resist…staunch and Romney are just two words that should never go together)

Poll: Majority Says Don’t Deport Children
In other words, majority are not heartless d-bags.

But the news media tells me we ought to deport those kids so they can die in a hail of gunfire, carry drugs for the cartels or be sold into the sex trade. I mean their calves are the size of cantalopes.

Sort of like the Jewish folks carrying bodies out of the gas chambers in the death camps. I guess that is the classic Republican demand. Remember work will make them free.
you can always count on the 30 to 35% against things like this typical republicon voters…they would vote against medicare and an end to SS …oh wait they do cause thats socialism unless they get those benifits then its get the keep the govt’s hands off my medicare or SS…I dont get it either but who can get backaswards thinking

Speaking of words that shouldn’t be used together, Sahil should have a little chat with the headline writer and inform him/her that “Contra” and “Obama” should not be used in juxtaposition. “Contra” and “Reagan” go together nicely – in fact, it’s a natural – but “Contra” and “Obama” is a no-no.

Yeah, that jumped out at me too. It wouldn’t have been my choice of words (“despite” would have worked much better, for one example). The use of “contra” there doesn’t even really fit.
But unfortunately, their wishes seem a lot more likely to become both MSM CW and policy than the will of the majority.
Because that’s how it goes in modern America: a minority with a view it holds with white-hot, extreme intensely always beats a majority with a contravening view it holds with a normal, non-insane, degree of intensity.
And if the more money the members of that intense minority have, the smaller the minority can be and still see its views become policy.
I don’t want to send kids back into the situations they came from but with an already strained foster care system what do you folks think we should do with all of these children?
Any guesses if that 32% who want endangered kids deported overlap with the GOP base?
I wish Democratic politicians tip-toeing around this issue could figure out that not only is the current Democratic base pro-immigrant, but young voters (or really, young people eligible to vote if they can turned out), immigrants, the children of immigrants, basically the voters of the near future are pro-immigrant. The Republicans have handed us the chance to win over new voters for a generation if only current politicians would be smart enough to grab them.
Yeah right, it’s like they’ve been waiting to use the word and it never worked out, so it just got tossed in.
The term, hack journalism, finds a home much easier.
The silent majority is getting louder and louder. The mind numbingly loud minority’s new tendency to bitch about everything has reawoken the human spirit. Teabagging is a heartless cause and will die a worthless death.
Liberalism is caring and vice versa. That is why Liberalism ideas always win in the end.
