You're a dork, Eric Hahaha. Palin can't necessarily help the whole publicity crap. Her publicists generally choose what she does, PLUS everyone was so intrigued about the soccer-mom-gone-governor-of-Alaska-THEN-VP-candidate that they wanted interviews and information. She can't really help that they used her in SNL and all that stuff. Plus, Glenn Beck is all over and he'd be a FANTASTIC President. Generally, anyone who is in the actual presidential race isn't going to get away from/not be known to the public eye from magazines and books and television. Their lives are no longer private. She did sign up for it, in a way, by becoming McCain's VP, but regardless, she can't help how her "fame" exploded Anyway, Romney is not great. Don't ever vote for him. And Reagan was amazing I think he has to be one of my all-time favorite presidents.

I don't remember who Reagan was.. I liked Clinton, he may not have been good with the economy and all, but he had good values (not including him cheating on his wife)

Ew, Clinton? For real? Ugh, him and his wife are total socialists progressives. Blah. I cannot stand them.
Bush was no better. He's a progressive on the right. He totally screwed over the economy, which Clinton started. Bush's first term was alright, but the second one was so horrible.
Reagan was flippin' amazing.

lol I never said the things Clintion did were good, but I'm not one to judge someone's presidancy by what they do in thier private life.. but as said before I liked his "values".. I don't really know much of what bush did except for sending us into Iraq for no reason.. I know nothing about Reagan..

Can I kindly ask what values Clinton has that you like? Well, Bush didn't send us there for no reason. Darned public schools teaching leftist indoctrination xD He sent us there for a good reason - to do something about the terror in the Middle East that no one else would get involved in. We've helped the Middle East a lot since we've been there. But that doesn't mean that he didn't screw us over in the process with all of those stupid bailouts and spending and crap. Reagan was extremely in-tune with the Founding Fathers His quotes are amazing.

I had said that to make it sound better, he might have not been the best presidant, but he's the one I know most about! I don't think that war is for any good reason..

For how Republican-sided I tend to be when it comes to Presidents, Raegan was pretty the-bomb-dot-com. He and FDR (obviously) are probably the most influential of what I'd consider the "modern" Presidents. I think JFK was headed in the right direction too had he not been assassinated. Hahaha that said, whenever I think of Raegan I always think of this clip (it helps if you know about the Berlin Wall and all).
And there were a lot more reasons besides retaliating to 9/11 for why we're in the Middle East. We would have been there even if Al Qaeda hadn't pulled their little stunt, there's a lot of history with that region.

My Views on Illegal Immigration: Sometimes (Okay, a LOT of times) People just move here to sell drugs and bad stuff like that. I wish they stayed in thier own country. BUT sometimes, people escape from abusive husbands, or someting like that. That is a VERY good reason to hop the border! ^_^ So, you see, it's pretty cool. Also, I know a guy who is an illegal immigrant from Portugal. He's on a mission in Washington right now.

XD lol I love the way you type! It's almost like it's in person ahahah and I agree with that statement, I have really good friends from other countries (sure they are foriegn exchange students, but still) ;D

Just for clarification, missionaries and exchange students are not illegal immigrants. They are not citizens, but they are still certified to be in the country either by a Visa or some other document. I have three friends in Germany and one in Austria that I became pretty good buds with while they were here.
And domestic abuse is definately a reason for a wife to flee her household, but not her country. I don't see what good hopping the border is going to do after you've already left the house. Mexico is globalized enough at this point where there will be a shelter for them to go to.

Agreed with Eric! One of my best friends, the girl that went with me to prom, is an immigrant here. She has a green card and her passport, which she has to renew. She's not a citizen, but she can still live here legally. Why not do that while you wait to become a citizen? I just don't understand it. Haha, I love Reagan And I'd never seen that clip, but that's hilarious! FDR was BADDDD. But yes, he definitely ended up influencing a lot of people, big time. The country started going downhill after him. Blah. JFK was not that great, either... But, I haven't studied him much, so I can't really go into him as a subject Haha. And the War on Terror was pretty much necessary. Like Eric said, we would've ended up there, regardless, because of the history with the Middle East.

being an illegal immigrant was already illegal. What they did was make it so the police could ask for proof of being and citizen which they already do.(license and registration sound familiar anyone?) and if the person cannot produce the proof they can be arrested. Which was also already a law.
So, they really didn't do anything. They just made ANOTHER pointless law. I'm surprised you conservatives weren't angry and more pointless laws being passed. I mean you guys want government to say out of your live when they pass laws to protect minorities(ie hate crime laws) or animals(ie stop torturing them laws) but when they pass laws that where already laws like this your all cool with it. Just an observation.

It wasn't nothing. They made it so the STATE could do it. Before, Arizona police couldn't really do anything. The Feds would have to get involved in order to deal with illegals. Arizona passed the law so that the state could handle it, since the stupid feds were doing nothing about it.
And it depends on the law on whether or not we get upset.
