What are your thoughts when we hear sang ware city proponents are more likely ive reviewed a lot of literature on this. And there is no evidence that immigrants are any more or less likely to commit crimes than anyone else. Thats not the relevant question.

Anholm. I know im not going out on a limb by saying that Senate Minority leader Mitch Mcconnell is a very conservative republican. Lets take a look at his voting record. He has repeatedly voted against a womens right to choose. He thinks there should be a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage. He wants to overturn obamacare. He voted for banning affirmative action hiring and he has received an a rating with the nra because of his progun stance.

Jennifer im jennifer granholm. Tonight in the war room, a day of firsts and lasts for women in america. [ theme music ] jennifer today was a big day for women in combat. First, female members of the military finally broke the Glass Ceiling which keeps them from serving on the front lines alongside their male colleagues. The 1994 ban on women in combat gone. With defense secretary leon panetta announcing he is going to eliminate the ban. And one of the most powerful women in the world, secretary of state Hillary Clinton took fire as she answered questions about the attacks in benghazi that killed four americans, including ambassador Chris Stevens and she not only exhibited strength she also displayed raw emotion. For me this is not just a matter of policy. Its personal. I stood next to president obama as the marines care rid those flagdraped caskets off of the plane at andrews. I put my arms around the mothers and fathers, the sister and brothers, the sons and daughters, and the wives l
