What a Freak. Could the Dims do anymore damage to the party? If this keeps up, they'll be making excuses for Hitler being simply misunderstood.


LAS VEGAS (AP) — Democratic presidential candidate Amy Klobuchar says she no longer believes English should be the national language of the U.S., disavowing a vote she took more than a decade ago as she tries to build support in a state where Hispanics make up a critical constituency.

Campaigning in Las Vegas, the three-term Minnesota senator said Friday that she has changed her stance since voting for an English-language amendment in 2007 and has "taken a strong position against" it. She also blasted President Donald Trump for using immigrants as "wedges" and said as president she would work with Republicans to achieve comprehensive immigration reform.

Klobuchar's record on immigration is under scrutiny after her third-place finish in the New Hampshire primary this week revived her campaign and sent her on to Nevada's Feb. 22 caucuses with fresh momentum. After focusing much of her campaign on the first two voting states — Iowa and New Hampshire, both predominantly white — she's now navigating a much more diverse electorate, where some of her moderate positions and willingness to vote with her Republican colleagues could be a liability.

Klobuchar was one of 17 Democrats to support a 2007 amendment that would have reversed President Bill Clinton's executive order requiring federal agencies to provide materials in languages other than English. It passed 64-33, but the larger immigration bill died.

The amendment's sponsor, Oklahoma Republican Sen. Jim Inhofe, said after the June 2007 vote that the amendment was about "preserving our culture and heritage" and would "send a message to all those who have come to our country and all those who will immigrate here in the future that English is the language of our land."

Holy crap. She just gave us the reason to not vote for her and it's not the language thing. It's because she is an idiot. She is now doing the exact same thing that torpedoed Apache Pantsuit's campaign. Insufferable wokeness.

People sleep peacefully at night because there are a few tough men prepared to do violence on their behalf.

A foolish man complains about his torn pockets.

A wise man uses it to scratch his balls.

WE DON'T NEED A GOVERNMENT REFERENDUM TO SAY THAT THE USA IS A ENGLISH SPEAKING COUNTRY! IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN AN ENGLISH SPEAKING COUNTRY!

:cursing:
With all these lawyers with cameras on the street i'm shocked we have so much crime in the world.

There is constitutional law and there is law and order. This challenge to law and order is always the start to loosing our constitutional rights.

Frauditors are a waste of life.

I probably should have posted this here instead of on the thread about who would be the least damaging Democrat.

Here's a sample

Eliminate the Electoral College
Slash the Defense Budget
Tax, tax, tax

The article outlines more and raising taxes seems to be a solution she favors to solve more than a few issues.

...and like all the rest, they deny basic science.  Trump branded her "snow woman" from her announcement event:

I probably couldn't either off the top of my head but a candidate who doesn't believe English should be the national language and who advocates amnesty would.

Hopefully, soon people will be saying, "What's an Amy Klobuchar?"
Only when they're referencing mental disorders. :biggrin:

So did she just pull this out of her ass? Orrrr, was she being pushed by the DNC to create a point of division in hopes of Trump taking the bait and calling for a law regarding language?
This is just too odd, no one was even talking about it....
