Frist "Republicans are the party of physical punishment."

[pstans]

Frist was just on Hannity and ws asked about why the Republicans have not done anything about securing our borders. Frist said that "Republicans are the party of physical punishment" and "this is an important issue to Republicans as well as independents."

The first quote is so true. The Republicans are the party of torture, pre-epmtive wars, and abuse (James Dobson wrestling his little terrier when it is defiant and then him saying kids should be treated the same comes to mind).

The second quote just pisses me off. Who in the last election was saying that our borders need to be more secure? Every Democrat candidate and he is calling this a Republican issue?

1. He actually said "the party of physical punishment"?

Blech. He's really NOT going to run for office, is he? That's not a very good campaign line.....

[stillcool]

4. That's what his people like to hear...

Death and Destruction are coveted values, except when it comes to a fetus.

20. I don't think he could get elected

He isn't rightwing enough for them.

2. Freudian slip, maybe?

Methinks dear Dr. Frist may have some twisted thoughts on his mind. Paging Gannon/Guckert.

3. What was he actually trying to say there? It can't be what it looks like.

5. Did Hannity have an ounce of integrity to ask...

about Frist's FEC troubles?

6. Maybe Frist Should Invest in Ex-lax

All that pain... ya know?

7. imprisoning drug addicts, death penalty even for those who might be....

innocent (opposition to reopening cases with new DNA evidence)...

Yes, it is true, but not something to be proud of, Frist.

Someone's got a problem with drugs? Treatment? Hell no, put them in prison! That's what the republicans say.

Someone's poor? Insult them! That's what the republicans say.

11. And we have the nerve to think we should tell other countries how to live?

disgusting.

We should not only be calling ourselves the progressives, we should be calling them the regressives.

8. So... They Like Spanking?

Okay, if the Dems are the party of blowjobs, this must mean that the Repugs are the party of BDSM. From what I understand from my friends in the DC area "scene", there are several Bushies that frequent the clubs. Hmmmm....

Whatever happened to that dominatrix that was going to write a tell-all book?

12. The problems come when we talk about solutions...

From a practical standpoint we cannot seal the borders, that's simply impossible. Short of putting up a 100 ft tall stone wall that's 3 ft thick, and who is going to pay for that? Even then a $20 pipe bomb will demolish a section easily enough, so that won't help. We need checkpoints, we need watchers, etc. but there are other solutions that are possible from a practical standpoint that will work. The first thing we should do is look at who the employers are that don't ask questions, and put them out of business, simple as that. Deporting the illegals is all fine and dandy, till they try again next year, and the year after that, and the year after that. Throwing them in jail for years is no solution either, for it is an unfair punishment on desperate people, plus we the taxpayers will pay for room and board.

No, solutions will not come easy, its easy enough to look at sound bites that look good, but they will not accomplish anything. Another thing that will help is this, instead of free trade agreements, which force poverty on already impoverished people, we can actually LEAVE their countries alone for once. Let them build up local economies that are sustainable and trade with us as partners rather than as slaves to corporations. This will give rise to a larger middle class in their countries, more stable governments, and therefore less illegal immigration into this country.
