Gay navy hacks are not her target
DNC Chair Wasserman Schultz Has No Clue....exactly like the rest of the Democrats.
Put blame where it belongs
ATF decided it could not regulate bump stocks during the Obama administration.
It that time," the NRA wrote in a statement. "The NRA believes that devices designed to allow semiautomatic rifles to function like fully-automatic rifles should be subject to additional regulations."
The ATF and Obama admin. ignored the NRA recommendations.

Bravo, you are truly clueless, but it is not frightening. We know you are harmless.

Her job is to get money, they do that through fear. The idea that Bush wanted to export every illegal alien is retarded. That anybody is suggesting we "arrest them all" and send them all home, make it a "crime", etc. is flat inane. Can she show even one piece of legislation produced by any serious contender (not like Kucinich or some other insane legislator) that suggests that? Of course she can't. But scaring people into sending money is the job of the DNC Chair, if she gets people to donate their cash she's done her job. She doesn't set policy, she can't pick candidates, her only real job is to get people to send money, to do that she will do and say almost anything.

Other than the "drive" to "arrest them all and send them back" it could almost be considered accurate. It is hyperbole based on something that didn't, and they knew wouldn't, ever become law. It is again, hyperbole aimed at scaring people into sending money. Tell me, where is the Eisenhower style "round them up and send them all home" portion of the legislation? And again, can you point to one serious legislator that suggests passing anything that "rounds them all up and sends them back"? If you can't, what she is doing is exactly what I stated she is doing. She mixes a portion of truth into an exaggeration so people can suggest it is all "accurate", but it really isn't, it is cynical fear mongering nonsense.

Quote from Cypress:
"Scientists don't use "averages". Maybe armchair supertools on message boards ascribe some meaning to "averages" between two random data points. And maybe clueless amatuers "draw a straight line" through two random end data points to define a "trend". Experts don't.
They use mean annual and five year means in trend analysis. Don't tell me I have to explain the difference to you. "

You mean 2005, the one that made employers check for verification before hiring and attempted to increase the penalty for illegal entry. I know the legislation, there is zero in it about running them all down and sending them all home, that is utter hyperbolic nonsense. When it was passed we held conversations about the fact that it would never become law, and how Bush was utterly against the legislation. The reality is, there was nothing in it about running all these people down and sending them home, it's an utter falsehood.

Yeah, it was 2005. I was off by 16 days or so. Sue me. But your description isn't accurate. You seemingly forgot the part that turned every unlawful alien into a felon overnight and you seem not to understand the impact of that. You may not like what Ms. Wasserman Schultz has to say about the bill, but her statement is accurate, whether you agree with it or not.
And I don't give a shit whether the bill had a chance of becoming law.
I didn't, I mentioned that they sought to increase the penalty for illegal entry. But I accurately mentioned that there was zero provision in there for the "hunting them down and sending them home" portion. It's flat incorrect, inaccurate and hyperbolic fear mongering to suggest it is there. The legislation absolutely does not do what she said is "their goal"...
It isn't, it didn't, and if you are using that legislation to support her hyperbolic fear mongering it is solely because you are in agreement that the "unwashed masses" need to be scared into supporting your party.
And again, can you bring up even one serious legislator supporting any legislation to "round them up"? Please point them out. I'd like to see that.

You keep misquoting her. She accurately described the legislation and its potential impact concerning making unlawful presence (not entry, as you have said) a felony.
You mean other than every legislator that voted for this bill?
So you are supporting the hyperbole. And no, I am not "inaccurately quoting her". She flat states that it is "their solution" to "pack them all up and send them all home". It's total garbage, fear mongering BS a cynical attempt to scare people into sending money.
There are zero legislators currently suggesting we should round up anybody in some pogrom. It's flat utter BS. None of the legislators that voted for that bill suggested we start a "pack them up" program. Nothing in the legislation called for it.
