Media forget what Villaraigosa did to California
Transcript -- Face the Nation -- CBS News -- June 24
Villaraigosa says Romney has amnesia
Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa (D-Los Angeles / Democratic National Convention Chairman): Well, let me just say, I'm not governor, I'm a mayor. But, look, I think it's pretty clear that he has amnesia, and this is why two hundred and eight Democrats passed the Dream Act in the Congress with the President's support. Fifty-one Democrats in the Senate supported it. There were only eight Republicans in the House and four Republicans in the Senate. In fact, they worked to prevent cloture in the Senate so that we couldn't pass the Dream Act. The fact is the President has done what we should do, and that is addressed the fact that these kids have been living here for most of their lives. They know no other country but this one. They want to contribute mightily to the nation. They want to serve in the military. The President's deferring action on deportation. If Mister Romney wants to come clean with what he's going to do, he ought to do it.

Constitution shredded... but GOP doing little to stop the insanity
 Like most Americans, this writer has a certain amount of sympathy for young people whose parents put them in the "illegal alien" category. But not to the extent that I am willing to silently watch any panicked president run the Constitution of United States through the White House shredder or openly convert the remains of the republic of our founders into a third-world dictatorship because of fading re-election numbers... |
