Yeah. I would say Iowans need a real education on the candidate with the most backbone concerning illegal immigration and that is Tom Tancredo. Huckabee is an illegal immigration apologist and garnered money for the Mexican Consulate in Arkansas and paved the way for illegals to be hired and used at Tyson Chicken plants in Iowa. Romney will flip flop 'til the day is long. He has no immigration policy other than allowing for more HB-1 visas. Better research these guys before you give them all your votes. I would think you would want someone honest and forthright like Tom Tancredo. This guy is bending over backwards to try to get the message out that illegal immigration and political correctness are going to doom us as a sovereign nation. If you want open borders the NAU and a NAFTA Superhighway running through the middle of the country go for it. Don't whine and cry when you don't like what you get. The only reason Romney is running has got to be because he is power hungry. He has got so much money he doesn't know what else to do and Huckabee is going to save the third world with your money. He doesn't care about American citizens. Research--research. I don't know why anyone who is fed up with illegal immigration and border security would support Mitt Romney! I challenge Romney supporters to present information and facts that prove Gov. Romney has in the past been tough on illegal immigration! Illegal immigration is an issue that affects this nation's education healthcare jobs economy crime AND future of our great nation!This family of five voters supports TOM TANCREDO who has fought against illegal immigration for NINE years with very little support from colleagues on Capitol Hill. Iowans - if you're really paying attention to what's happening in your neighborhoods cities and state you've seen the effects of illegal immigration! Greedy and powerful corporations do not want our borders shut down and they certainly don't want to stop the flow of cheap labor from the south. Here in Arizona taxpayers are paying millions of dollars to educate children of illegal immigrants. Currently there are a quarter of a MILLION non-English speakers in our schools - siphoning money from our schools that should be spent on legal students! I'm sure the number of non-English speakers in Iowa's schools is rising rapidly too. Why is it that illegal immigrants can enter our emergency rooms and receive medical treatment for FREE when not one member of my family receives free medical treatment? My insurance premiums continue to rise dramatically on a yearly basis yet my healthcare coverage shrinks year after year. Those of us who HAVE health coverage pay for the illegal immigrants who get it for free!I don't know about Iowa's Home Depots. Lowes and WalMarts - but here in Arizona the store signs and labels are in two languages - large and bold! Since when did the U. S. A become a bilingual nation? English is our official language. If a business wants to cater to other languages it should cater to ALL languages spoken by citizens of this country - NOT just Spanish! I'd vote for Mitt Romney if this were a beauty contest but it's not. I want our next president to put the United States and it's citizens FIRST! I want a president who will stand up for our rights and freedoms! I want a president who will tell Mexican President Calderon to take care of his own country's problems and fight his own drug wars! I want a president who will tell China that our children and pets will no longer be poisoned by their products! I want a president who will help keep America safe by making sure a three-tier fence is built across the entire border - to keep out terrorists drugs illegal immigrants gang members and Mexico's drug cartel!Tom Tancredo is the only candidate who has proven he is ready and willing to do all those things for the America people and for the future of our country! I am a Tom Tancredo supporter because I believe he is best for America. He entered this campaign April 2. 2007 because none of the other candidates were talking about border security and illegal immigration. He came to Washington in January 1999 because Washington was not doing enough about the issues. He has been focused and unwavering while all of the other candidates have been flip flopping all over the place. Tom Tancredo's message is not border security and illegal immigration it is preserving American culture and sovereignty. All of the Democrat candidates except Dennis Kucinich are connected to the Council on Foreign Relations. Rudy Giuliani. John McCain. Fred Thompson and MITT ROMNEY are connected to the CFR. The CFR has an admitted goal of forming a North American Union by the year 2010. Anyone who votes for any of these candidates will be voting to shred our Constitution and Bill of Rights and throw Old Glory in the trash. You do not have to believe me look it up. There is plenty of informatioin available but you won't hear it admitted on the LATE SHOW. Start here:http://www wnd com/news/article asp?ARTICLE_ID=58778 Anonymous & Tancredo4Prez:If you have not noticed your man is dead last; does that have any meaning? Value? Single issue candidates have never been President -- ever. Tancredo cannot even look at the camera in the debates; half the time he is looking at his feet. You think he could stare down the Mexican President? Tancredo seems like a nice man - he really does and I think he probably is a nice man. You ask about Romney. Gov. Romney's reputation in every endeavor he has pursued in business volunteer work (Olympics) or government leadership he has delivered what he promised. That is a fact on top of the fact that he has not failed at any significant venture. So what has he promised on immigration?1. Tamper-proof ID cards.2. Any business that employs an illegal alien will receive the same penalty as the business who does not pay its taxes.3. He will finish building the border wall.4. He will build up border enforcement big time. I have to run to take my daughter. I may be missing something. Just remember this: Romney ALWAYS executes against his plans and promises. ALWAYS. I believe illegal immigration is the most serious issue that we face. It is obvious that Rudy. Mitt. Fred and John have not displayed a committment to address the illegal immigration problem. All four of them have been caught vascillating on their views on this issue. The other major problem that our country faces is that we are on the pathway towards global governance. It appears we are well on the road with the emergence of the SPP. NAU. NAFTA and the NAFTA superhighway (which will be built very close to Des Moines). As members of the CFR promote these issues we need a candidate who has not been bought and paid for by big business and special interestgroups. That candidate is TOM TANCREDO. He stands for Americans and America. He has never changed his stance of illegal immigration or the unpopular things that must be done to contol it--build the fence secure the borders eliminate benefits to illegals grant 'no amnesty' and prosecute employers who hire illegals. In other words he would enforce our laws!!! Tom is the only candidate that my conscience will allow me to vote for. We are talking about the very survival of America!! Anonymous:You did not answer any points made before your last post. Again:1) Tancredo is dead last. He cannot win the nomination let alone the presidency. No single-issue candidate has ever been President. When will Tancredo begin to compete against the other candidates in real terms (polls money endorsements.....)?2) Romney has not vacillated one bit on immigration. What you listed just above for Tancredo is precisely what Romney has proposed IN ADDITION to 50 other major detailed domestic and foreign policies compared to Tancredo's what?3) I read everything on the URL you left. There is nothing new there outside of all the conspiracy theories floating around that surface now and again on talk shows. On world government and super-highways: Just think about it for a second. This will never happen unless Americans allow it. Two examples: There is all kinds of evidence that it is in our best interest to drill for oil in Alaska in a major/huge way. Not going to happen; the people and environmentalists are against it. Second it is in our best interest to build nuclear plants all across America and today nobody wants that. Oil prices will have to go to $15 a barrel before we will have the collective will to build nuclear. So there is no way Americans are going to want a super-highway for the purposes you think and it will never happen unless they do want it. Period. It is all tin-foil head conspiracy stuff. Of all the candidates that have a chance to actually be nominated on the GOP ticket. Romney is by far the strongest on immigration. All the wrangling about Tancredo or any other candidate is just a waste of time. Last which of the primary states is Tancredo planning to win? Which of the primary states is Tancredo likely to win? How many of the primary states is Tancredo expected to win? Let's say I concede everything you have stated about Tancredo --- in what way does any of what you state matter if you cannot answer these three simple questions (let alone all the others above)?Romney is dead-set on running as a hawk on immigration. He just is not a single-issue candidate. And remember this: WHATEVER ROMNEY PLANS AND PROMISES he executes accordingly. Always. That is precisely his reputation. Romney always delivers to his promises. No other candidate can say that. I've missed some of "the fray" here but wanted to chime in still. Romney has a VERY solid RECORD on illegal immigration. And he's been consistently better on it than everybody in the race (except Tancredo and Hunter's good too). This record is sinking in with voters as he is capturing the lion's share of voters who list Immigration as their #1 or #2 issue (look through the crosstabs in the most recent Iowa and NH polls if you don't believe me). Here's from the campaign's press release a few weeks back (note the dates and that his record spans over the last 5 years):FACT: As Governor Of Massachusetts. Governor Romney Took Action To Enforce Immigration Laws. ENFORCEMENT: In December 2006. Governor Romney Signed A Memorandum Of Agreement With The Federal Government To Allow State Troopers To Enforce Federal Immigration Laws. "Governor Mitt Romney and U. S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Assistant Secretary Julie L. Myers today announced the signing of a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) between the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and ICE which will give specially trained Massachusetts State Troopers the authority to administer and enforce federal immigration laws in the Commonwealth. " (Office Of The Governor. "Governor Romney. ICE Sign Immigration Enforcement Pact," Press Release. 12/13/06) IN-STATE TUITION: Governor Romney Vetoed In-State Tuition For Illegal Immigrants. "Romney also vetoed a number of outside sections of the budget including:... A plan that would have permitted illegal aliens to pay the same in-state tuition rate at our public colleges and universities as Massachusetts citizens." (Office Of The Governor. "Romney Signs $22.402B Fiscal Year 2005 'No New Tax' Budget," Press Release. 6/25/04) ENGLISH IMMERSION: Governor Romney Fought Efforts To Weaken Massachusetts' English Immersion Law. "But yesterday. Romney press secretary Shawn Feddeman said the governor will fight all attempts to slow the implementation of English immersion known on the ballot as Question 2. ... 'He will veto anything that weakens or delays English immersion,' Feddeman said." (Anand Vaishnav. "Romney Firm On English Timetable," The Boston Globe. 1/24/03) - In June 2002. Mitt Romney Said "The Approach Of English Immersion Is One That I Support. ... I Would Make English Immersion The Educational Norm For All Non-Native English Speakers." (John McElhenny. "Mitt Romney Endorses 'English Immersion' Education Plan," The Associated Press. 6/4/02) DRIVER'S LICENCES: Governor Romney Opposed Efforts To Give Driver's Licenses To Illegal Immigrants. "'Those who are here illegally should not receive tacit support from our government that gives an indication of legitimacy,' the governor said echoing arguments that opponents have voiced in the Commonwealth and in other states considering similar license measures. 'If they are here illegally they should not get driver's licenses,' he said." (Scott S. Greenberger. "Romney Stand Dims Chances Of License For Undocumented," The Boston Globe. 10/28/03) FACT: Governor Romney Would Take Action To Secure The Borders Through Physical And Virtual Fences. Governor Romney: "In my view there are several principles that need to be part of our immigration plan. First to secure the border..." (Governor Mitt Romney. Interview On The Northern Alliance Radio Network. 1/27/07) Governor Romney: "You've got to have a wall or fence or electronic surveillance. You have got to make sure we secure our border that's first." (Fox News' "The O'Reilly Factor," 9/19/06) FACT: Governor Romney Supports Strong Reforms To Stop Illegal Immigration And Encourage Legal Immigration. Governor Romney: "The current system puts up a concrete wall to the best and brightest yet those without skill or education are able to walk across the border. We must reform the current immigration laws so we can secure our borders implement a mandatory biometrically-enabled and tamper-proof documentation and employment-verification system and increase legal immigration into America." (David Yepsen. Op-Ed. "So Far. Romney's Been Most Impressive Republican," Des Moines Register. 7/11/06) FACT: Governor Romney Opposes The McCain-Kennedy Bill And Any Form Of Amnesty For Illegal Immigrants. Governor Romney: "McCain-Kennedy Isn't The Answer." "Another aspect of American sovereignty is the security of our borders. The current system is a virtual concrete wall against those who have skill and education but it's a wide-open walk across the border for those that have neither. McCain-Kennedy isn't the answer. As governor. I took a very different approach. I authorized our state police to enforce federal immigration laws." (Governor Mitt Romney. Remarks At The Conservative Political Action Conference. Washington. D. C.. 3/2/07) FACT: Governor Romney Supports A Strong Employer-Verification System That Includes A Tamper Proof Worker Verification Card. Governor Romney: "First to secure the border number two have an employment verification system. This would be a card - a biometric card - that people who are not citizens would have and before an employer hires a non citizen they would have to look at the card type in a number on a computer and get verification from the federal government that this person is eligible for work in the U. S. If they hired someone not so eligible that company would be fined just like not paying taxes." (Governor Mitt Romney. Interview On The Northern Alliance Radio Network. 1/27/07) FACT: Governor Romney Supports Empowering Local And State Authorities To Enforce Federal Immigration Laws. Governor Romney Believes More State And Local Police Agencies Should Work With The Federal Government To Enforce Immigration Laws. "Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney said Tuesday that more state and local police agencies ought to consider making deals with the federal government to have their officers trained in enforcing elements of federal immigration law. ... 'I think it's a good idea for us to communicate that we intend to enforce our laws,' Romney said." (Jacques Billeaud. "Romney: More State. Local Police Should Get Immigration Training," The Associated Press. 3/13/07)*****Also shows that Romney isn't just a "Johnny Come Lately" to the cause of combating illegal immigration. The flyer states that he supports "Tougher measures to combat illegal immigration." So that last comment was to convince readers that Romney has a VERY solid record on illegal immigration. As far as where Romney will lead us in this area I wanted to commend Vic's points:1. Tamper-proof ID cards.2. Any business that employs an illegal alien will receive the same penalty as the business who does not pay its taxes.3. He will finish building the border wall.4. He will build up border enforcement big time. In addition Romney as also promised:5) To cut Federal funding to Sanctuary cities who are openly opposing the federal immigration laws.3) To cut relative Federal funding to states who create "magnet" policies like in-state tuition breaks and state-sponsored scholarships for illegal immigrants.4) Opposes Driver's licenses for illegal immigrants in ANY state (would probably seek a Federal statute that would prevent any state from offering such licences)5) Deport all illegal immigrants caught breaking the law6) "Back of the line" (and/or "go back home first") treatment of illegals wanting to become legalized. At 5:38 PM. Vic Lundquist said... Just remember this: Romney ALWAYS executes against his plans and promises. ALWAYS. My my. Tanc does not look at his shoes when he is allowed to speak which is only about 20-25% of the time the CFR controlled media selected "top tier" are allowed to speak. He is far from a single issue candidate. He is not allowed the time to speak about other things in the CFR controlled tv interviews and debates but if you research the man attend one of his events you would know this. Those of us who investigate all of the canadidates and not rely on MSM to tell us what to think know this and know that TOM TANCREDO is the only candidate in either campaign that puts America first. God help us all if sheeple do not wake up to that fact. Jeff Fuller. Mitt Romney is still a free trading globalist affiliate member of the CFR. Me thinks he speaks with forked tongue and considers the $17M he has loaned his own campaign an investment. I think Vic Lundquist said it best: "Romney ALWAYS executes against his plans and promises. ALWAYS. "That is definately a keeper and must be shared. Another thing. Vic. Tanc is 'dead last' among how many people who actually participated in the poll? Anonymous. Mr. Tancredo is a nice man. I have no idea why his campaign has received no traction. But it has not. He is a very nice man and in a different situation. I could see him as a good leader of my district or even state. But he will not receive the nomination. Is Mitt Romney perfect? No he is not. Is he an all-around better and stronger conservative than Giuliani? Yes he is. Also he is not the autocratic/authoritarian that RG is. He has not failed at anything he has embarked upon in any venture or entity. The only failure I know of is when he lost to Ted Kennedy in the senate race but in all the races Teddy ever had in the senate that was the closest ever. That says something. Romney will govern as a strong conservative and in my opinion he will bring greater conservative results on all fronts than even Reagan did. Look carefully at all of his policy plans and promises. He will deliver to them.

Wow the Miami stat really reminds me how good self-evaluation of a aggroup’s talent is. Too often teams fasten with an established former all-pro veteran until an injury demonstrates that he is slowing down and should be replaced by a young guy. 1:Indeed it’s very interesting but let’s not be too quick to anticipate either with only 3 games worth of data.

Seattle has the best defense between the 40 yard lines… That’s just 20% of the handle and isn’t that a little like being the tallest midget in town?

Very quirky stat and I wonder if there’s any rational cause and effect or if it’s just purely random? 5:Probably just purely random but then again.

On the BTR show Jenn's Jungle Republic communicate. I made the observation that the Thompson campaign has said publicly that they were not really putting much effort into Iowa and New Hampshire. I stated that if Thompson could manage a top 3 finish in both states (very doable) then things would be set up for a Romney-Huckabee- Thompson race entering South Carolina. I have always believed that Giuliani would plummet among Southern voters once exceed alternatives rose to the top. Well it turns out (as is the case exceed than 95% of the time). I was alter. According to the latest Rasmussen South Carolina poll. Thompson and Romney are tied for first. Giuliani is third down 7 from the previous poll and Huckabee is 4th up 9 points from the last poll. It's not hard to see where this one is going. First we act down Giuliani then we take down Romney. After that it's between Huckabee and Thompson~Sonlit

Iraqi refugees are returning home in dramatic numbers concluding that security in Baghdad has been transformed. Thousands have left their refuge in Syria in recent months according to some estimates. The Iraqi Embassy is organising a secure crowd convoy from Damascus to Baghdad on Monday for refugees who want to control back. Embassy notices went up around the Syrian capital yesterday offering free bus and train rides home. Saida Zaynab the Damascus neighbourhoods once dominated by many of the 1.5 million Iraqi refugees is almost deserted. Apartment prices are plummeting and once-crowded shops and buses are half alter. The UN High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR) was scrambling to evaluate the transformation last night. An interim report is expected today. “There is a large movement of populate going back to Iraq. We are doing rapid investigate on this,” a spokesman said. Syria has absorbed the lion’s share of Iraqi refugees since the US-led invasion and subsequent insurgency with the be going to Jordan. Egypt and other countries around the region. They too report a growing be of returnees. Hussein Ali Saleh the director of the National Theatre in Baghdad who is staging Iraqi plays for refugees in Damascus said that his audience was disappearing. A month ago the al-Najum theatre near the Syrian central bank building was filled with 400 Iraqis every night. Now barely 50 turn up. “In the measure month. 60 per cent of the Iraqis I experience undergo returned,” he said. “The situation has been changed completely. They all want to go approve. Even my own family approve in Baghdad is telling me the situation is much better.”The go of so many Iraqis is a strong choose of confidence in the security situation in Baghdad. However it also reflects the tightening of visa regulations by Syria two months ago making it more difficult for refugees to be and impossible for most to come approve if violence flares up again. The adjoin crossing into Syria is closed for them. Their move to Iraq is one way. “Not everyone is returning voluntarily,” a spokeswoman for the UNHCR said. “It’s a mixed conceive of. Some Iraqis report an improvement in security in Baghdad while others fear their Syrian visas are running out.”Abdel Samad Rahman Sultan the Iraqi Minister of Displacement and Migration said that about 9,000 families had returned from abroad since February. He noted however that 170,000 families were comfort listed as internally displaced populate inside Iraq. Returnees often come back to ethnically cleansed neighbourhoods sometimes finding their abandoned homes looted or even occupied by families who have fled from other parts of Iraq.“It’s better to have a chance at peace than wait here forever,” Haidar Ibrahim a refugee said. Not all Iraqis in Damascus agree. “Before my family refused to let me change surface talk about going approve,” Ahlam Ahmed said. “Now they are calling me every day and saying. ‘Why don’t you come?’. This is a real change. But I don’t yet trust the situation.”Most Iraqis interviewed by though seemed enthusiastic rather than despondent. “Throughout history Baghdad has fallen many times but she always rose up again,” Abu Ibrahim said. “We all know this and that’s why we return. We return to rebuild Baghdad now.”Saida Zaynab on the outskirts of Damascus is known as “Iraq Street” because at least 350,000 Iraqis have lived in the area in the past few years. With them they brought a little bit of home. There is the Bakery Baghdadi selling Iraqi specialty pastries such as sticky-sweet pieces of carrot-pistachio marzipan and the Habayibna Restaurant where guests eat charcoal-grilled fish from the Tigris.“The Syrians were generous with us for a long time,” one diner said. “but they didn’t really like having us here. With so many more populate in the city the prices for everything went up like flour draw vegetables. So it is best to go domiciliate when you can.”Life has been hard for Iraqis in Damascus too with most prevented from working there. It was though the only refuge for poor Iraqis who could not pay to get into Jordan and many of them said that they were grateful. “Thank you. Syria,” one said. “but I am homesick.”In a side street Iraqi families were packing their cars for the jaunt home. Some of the vehicles were decorated with their national flag. “We are not going to Anbar or Basra or Baghdad,” a young man said. “we are going to Iraq.”

Just bought a 32" LCD Toshiba and have been looking at the communicate Strength menu numbers. I'm getting SNR (signal to noise ratio?) of 27.0 to 33.7 on 7 channels received and signal power of 36.3 - 47.9. What do these numbers mean? There seems to be no relationship between SNR and Signal Strength - a low SNR can have a high Signal Power rating. I'm very impressed as the analog stations on an old Hitachi CRT came in rather snowy at times but on this new TV I always get a great HDTV picture. Thanks I'm getting SNR (signal to go ratio?) of 27.0 to 33.7 on 7 channels received and signal power of 36.3 - 47.9. What do these numbers convey? Hm without units I'm not sure what the "signal power" value means but SNR (yes signal-to-noise ratio) is expressed in dB representing the differential between the signal level and the noise floor. 27-34 dB is an excellent SNR range - with OTA digital you be to generally have at least 26 dB. However. I've got a local station that broadcasts on VHF channel 2 for ATSC digital and even with an ~26 dB SNR. I get uncorrectable errors like crazy - I think that's just a side-effect of using low VHF. :/ The be are in UHF frequency lay and tend to do far better. There seems to be no relationship between SNR and Signal Strength - a low SNR can have a high communicate Power rating. Yes that's correct - though an extremely low communicate strength ordain generally not yield good SNR overall SNR is more important as if the SNR is too low the signal can't be reasonably differentiated from the noise causing errors in extracting the signal data. I'm very impressed as the analog stations on an old Hitachi CRT came in rather snowy at times but on this new TV I always get a great HDTV picture. Yes and my OTA NTSC locals look pretty lousy too change surface with my TiVo Series3 HD but the ATSC locals (other than the aforementioned low-VHF broadcaster) come out quite alter. It's just the nature of the transmission method it seems - though the trouble is it's great until you arrive the proverbial advance at which inform you'll get either MPEG garbage or nothing at all.
