In between ducking shoes being thrown at him and being called a dog, bush tells us things are going well in iraq. Why not send these folks back home. Our country is awash in illegal aliens from central and south america. Our own residents are loosing jobs at a pace not seen since the great depression and our children are facing a decidely dim future. Maine simply cannot be the welfare desination of choice in the US. We have to stop this maddness.report abusespot
