    That isn't going to stop 'em from believing that.

    Hurr hurr.

    Suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress. But I repeat myself.

    It's not displacement, but what would you call southern white conservatives fleeing from formerly dominated neighborhoods because they believe mexicans will bring crime, poverty, their illegal families, etc? The best term I could think of for that was white flight.

    Let's hear what you have to say.

    If it's a democrat, it'll be republican obstructionism.

    If it's a republican, it'll be finding another country to invade so as to pump trillions into the military industrial complex and other heavily lobbied special interests. That and coming up with new and exciting ways to fuck the general population (mostly the uneducated base of republicans and poor people) with the support of the uneducated republican base that vote with their bias, not their brain.

    Compared to Congress, this is nothing. Obama hasn't even taken half the days off that Bush did as well.

    Still not sure why we should chain our presidents to their desks in the oval office until they drop dead. Never really understood that mentality. I prefer my country's leader to be as rested and able to handle things as reasonable.
