If they were trying to fight complacency by skewing the numbers in favor of the Democrat, I might think that's a good idea. <br /><br />On the other hand, RCP/PPP shows generic Republicans ahead of generic Democrats by a little more than 4%. I think that may be low, too.LawHawkRFDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800255923675295515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-47021711173996459872010-09-20T13:05:50.774-04:002010-09-20T13:05:50.774-04:00LawHawk,

It seems the PPP has a new poll that shows Boxer winning by 8%. Fortunately I went to Rasmussen and found that the rolling poll is 47 Fiorina 44 Boxer. The question I have, is that with all the problems that PPP has with it's polling, why does RCP use them?<br /><br />Off topic overJoel Farnhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15856960977033430002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-44488280046844229642010-09-20T13:03:45.836-04:002010-09-20T13:03:45.836-04:00Andrew: You are correct, as I mentioned to Joel. ...Andrew: You are correct, as I mentioned to Joel. There are ways of accelerating citizenship for non-natives who serve honorably in the American armed services. But it is based on their having come to American legally in the first place. Current law makes no provision for illegals to sneak into the military, merely stay out of trouble, then get American citizenship. That's what Reid is proposing. <br /><br />The other thing to keep in mind is that nobody is opposing granting citizenship, even to illegals who have served in the military, on a <i>case by case</i> basis. The objection is to Reid's blanket amnesty and citizenship for illegals who managed to sneak into the military or get a two-year college "education."LawHawkRFDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800255923675295515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-51682378594027835062010-09-20T12:57:51.749-04:002010-09-20T12:57:51.749-04:00LL: I'm not sure we need to be even that drac...LL: I'm not sure we need to be even that draconian. I'd be happy with fast-tracking citizenship for legals who serve honorably in a war-zone for even two years and who can also pass a full-screen security check. Frankly, though, if their illegal arrival in the US was incidental to their subsequent service in the military, I might be looking at your more stringent standards. Even in the French Foreign Legion the purpose for their entry <i>outside</i> the French homeland into French territory had to be solely service in the Legion with French citizenship following only after that specific purpose.LawHawkRFDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800255923675295515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-27670043448274182412010-09-20T12:49:40.532-04:002010-09-20T12:49:40.532-04:00I agree with LL, I think there used to be (could s...I agree with LL, I think there used to be (could still exist) a program that let foreigners service in the military for some period of time. If they served honorably, they could become citizens. I don't object to that at all, because I would assume those people are responsible and have come here to be Americans.<br /><br />The rest is garbage.AndrewPricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11312364467936820986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-17771528517935088792010-09-20T12:41:25.641-04:002010-09-20T12:41:25.641-04:00Foreigners who serve in the French Foreign Legion ...Foreigners who serve in the French Foreign Legion honorably for six years earn the right to French citizenship. It's worked for a couple hundred years. The US has had that policy for time to time in the past, but I think you had to serve honorably for 8 years. Perhaps we put them in the same category as legionnaires, pay them 1/2 as much and they have US officers. Let them slog it out in the hell holes and if they survive and serve, what's wrong with making them citizens? The FFL vets their recruits to keep out riff-raff like Al Qaeda and it works. If anyone is suspected as a fifth columnist, they go on trial and if it's found to be true, they're shot.<br /><br />I'd favor that option. Men could earn their citizenship.<br /><br />Now the rest of it is some sort of leftist wet dream.LLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05538854359365988863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-18640065340945585302010-09-20T12:36:31.479-04:002010-09-20T12:36:31.479-04:00Ah, Patti: Another reason I'll miss San Franc...Ah, Patti: Another reason I'll miss San Francisco.

How are we supposed to keep al Qaeda-affiliated terrorists out of our military and our national security apparatus if we can't even determine the citizenship of military volunteers? I expect huge holes of logic and loyalty at our colleges and universities, but the military?!<br /><br />There is a citizenship fast-track for non-citizen volunteers, but it's supposed to apply only to those legally in the US.
