by Doug MataconisA great video from Reason.tv.
Excerpt:
“The biggest immigration problem we got in America is a government that’s not doing its job,” says Armey. “I don’t like illegal immigration, but I’ll tell you something: I don’t run stop lights. But you put me out on the road at two o’clock in the morning on the way to the all-night drugstore to get medicine for my babies, and you give me a stop light that is stuck on red, and no traffic in sight, and I’m gonna go through that red light.”
Why is it that politicians always make more sense after they leave office ?
The GOP of today would never elect a guy like this to a House leadership position.

Sadly I think you are right.
The GOP is close to becoming the Know-Nothing Party of the 21st Century.

Heh, heh…”Dick Armey”. :)

It’s something in the water…
