Brian Kennedy Iowa Repub 4 congress: Iris and Thumb Prints for Immigrants
http://www.briankennedy.com/issues_immigration.asp?tr=y&auid=1185018

"And the first step on that path is to provide the INS with a thumb print and iris scan so there is an identity record of every immigrant who has entered the country."

And can the rest of us be far behind?

"The number one question I receive on the campaign trail is, “do you have a plan to do something about illegal immigration?” When running for office, if you have a frequently asked question, you best have a good answer. My answer: “Yes, I have a plan, and here it is.” – Brian Kennedy"

Riiiiight...that's the number one question in Iowa's 1st district with health care, the war, the economy, gas prices all far back in the pack. Yeah, that's the ticket.

2. Thank God Brian Kennedy is keeping us safe from THEM!
Now, who's gonna save us from Brian Kennedy?

When a person becomes a naturalized citizen do we erase their Iris and Thumbprint from the system? :eyes:

Let's ask Brian about his continued support of and indicted criminal, Tom Delay, he's worried about immigrants coming in to this country, I'm worried about criminals walking around free in this country.

4. But don't you know...it's the liberals who are attacking poor Tom!
This is from back in April, I wonder if little Brian regrets this given whats happened in the last few weeks:

Brian Kennedy's Defense of DeLay Gets National Notice

"Defense of DeLay has been taken up by Brian Kennedy, a former Iowa Republican chairman seeking his party's nomination in Iowa. Kennedy's campaign blog last week blasted a television ad that attacked DeLay, saying: 'The liberals have started the negative advertising all over again.'"

3. I am so sick and tired of wingers that exploit fear!!!!!!
And really am pissed that our good citizens are so scared by this drivel that they vote these assholes into office. Each election cycle we have a contest among the right who can be the most fear- mongering and religious-appearing.
In my half-century plus of life I have watched quiet little Iowa go from a fairly open and tolerant society (in certain locations) to a people who fear their own shadows. And that is for little reason, but is blown way out of proportion by ugly little politicians interested only in getting elected and then bilking the public whn they get in office!
What did that one guy say - all we have to fear is fear itself. Oh yeah that guy lead us out of a depression and won a world war.

6. Yes, and Iowans will be lining up to take all the meat-packing jobs that
will open up, once we close up shop on illegal immigration. Uh huh.

They'll be happy to reclaim the crappy wages, long hours, nonexistent bennies, implorable low-rent housing, and dangerous working conditions that these ungrateful funny-tawkin' im'grunts have taken from them.

Sad thing is, there's people that actually believe this shit.
