I once went into the Metro station to hide from the heat and mugginess - forget the subsidies, I was really suffering, LOL. I'd have grabbed a cab back to the hotel if I wasn't waiting around for a bunch of other people.

Still, I don't see the hypocrisy in either Congressman's comments, nor any racism, nor any grammatical error.
As usual you have your head buried in the sand, I never mentioned salaries.

There have been literally scores of "amnesties" over the years. Most of them simply recognized the de facto situation on the ground.

Native Americans used to move freely across both borders and who knew if they were "Mexicans," "Canadians" or "Americans." Today, they are considered citizens of wherever their descendants happened to have landed.

And Reagen was right (he usually was). Not too bad for the offspring of a bunch of Mick immigrants.
No, I didn't. I merely said that you act as if Obama's mention of amnesty was the first time it was brought up.

Actually it is only $1.75 or in non rush hour 1.35. However if I take the metro from my house to there it is $3.85 each way plus $4.25 for parking. It really isn't a fair comparison since the metro runs without traffic and transports hundreds between those locations on each trip. The problem isn't what metro charges to ride. The problem is the waste and the thug unions that pay drivers in excess of 100 grand a year.

Neither you nor your sock puppet have an answer. You're just spinning your wheels. Or are you the sock puppet?

At the end of the day - Obama lied. And now we know the reason he lied was because he didn't want to uncork the bottle with the "amnesty" genii in it just yet.

Answered what? I did not see a question directed towards myself.

Try "answers" at m-w.com. Read down the list. Expand your mind and understand the wonders of a vocabulary devoid of a fundamentalist mindset.

No, the rules of the Congress during a Presidential address are that you cannot make an "outburst" or "disrupt." The "Congress" itself may respond audibly, and noisily! That's why you have to get "crowd noise" and not a lone voice.

It seems nit picky - and any offense gets a slap on the wrist at most. In fact, Wilson is the first Congressman to ever be "punished" for this.

And if you have evidence of criminal activity by the President - bring it forward. What are you waiting on? ... oh yeah, the "evidence."

Again, look up the word "answer" in the dictionary.

And wipe your chin, again.
