Let us not forget that the census has always been about citizens of the United States and people of other lands possessed by the U.S. I have census papers on my relatives dating back into the 1800’s and each form has a “citizenship” column on them. No check marks were ever put in these columns because all my relatives were born in the U.S. or came through Ellis Island and gained their citizenships. So once their place of birth was listed on the census, nothing else was recorded in the citizenship column.
But with millions of illegals now in our country, we must make sure they are not listed as citizens so political lines are not drawn based on these illegals, not to mention the cost to social security, the health system, etc.

Your fascination and infatuation with Sen. Landrieu is a wonderful thing to see, but don't you think for one minute that maybe she's counting on those folks that "can't do for themselves" to stay poor and keep voting her in because she's quick to give a handout? Most of the ones that "can't do for themselves" sit at home, collect a check and are too lazy to get a job.
Democrats remain in power because of the masses that are dependent upon gov't entitlements. That's the truth..... "

Mr. Frith attacks Senator Landrieu as not being good for the state, yet she's been able to help citizens who can't help themselves! Since your recent governors were Republicans, why is that?
The Republican mantra of making personal attacks on President Obama and his leaders is juvenile.
FYI, I am not,never been on ANY government assistance, don't need it! Been blessed enough to maintain my health, a job, insurance and take care of family. "

It's ingenious to blame the housing situation on the Democrats because, I guess, you are a Republican. ALL sectors of home financing was involved with bad loans;from the realtor, home inspector, lending institutions, etc. and they were not all Democrats! "

Barney Frank and Christopher Dodd were in charge of committees overseeing these loans. Democrats.
The country has tripled our debt in a little over 10 months of, a Democrat, being elected President.
Exactly 0 jobs have been saved since all of the Democrats voted for this crap "stimulus package".
Yea, it's all the Republican's fault. Get a clue. "

The reason that Landrieu was elected because she BOUGHT the vote and blinded the RINO's in this state w/ her "moderate" line of BS. "

Please remember who was in charge of the Congress for the past several years - your beloved Democrats.
Sen. Landrieu has political interests in New York, California, Massachussetts and other liberal states and not with Louisiana. "
Democrat wrote on Nov 2, 2009 1:37 PM:
My beloved Louisiana voted for McCain/Palin!!! It is time to reevaluate the facts. Bush/Cheney tied us up in two wars and very nearly collapsed our entire economic system.
Let's support the democratic party so that we can undo the damage already created... And be patient!! "
