4. Too bad one of the options was not the Bush administration...

That seems to be the greatest threat to about every aspect of our families and our lives at the present point in time.

6. shudn't have lumped illegal immigration and outsourcing

Two totally different issues.

if outsourcing should have been lumped anywhere, it should have been in on the decling family income.

7. Umm, choice one is subordinate to choice two

Declining family income is the end result of corporatists who favor little or no border control and favor outsourcing. Illegal immigration and outsourcing would both lead to real losses in average income. The poorest folks would be hurt most by illegal immigration, and outsourcing would hurt people higher up on the pay scales but not those at the very top who push outsourcing.

The notion of a "fair day's pay for a fair day's labor" is an anachronism with people who are driven by greed and profit.

11. Mexicans! Mexicans! Mexicans!

That illegal immigration choice is just more populist red meat.

Who here really thinks that traditional family values are threatened
by a flood of people who are largely socially conservative Catholics?

Illegal immigration is the "greatest threat to the traditional American family?" ???????????

Well - I take some small solace that gay marriage is only 4% along with out-of-wedlock - but ....
illegal immigration??? what the heck? How is that a "threat"?
