assistant: You folks are right on target.  With sooo many of Slick Willies friends
committing suicide, and dying in airplane crashes leaves the impression
what the heck is going on here?  There are too many concidences for
there not to be questions about all the deaths.  At the last count
there was 56 associates of Clinton pushing up daises. Hope Jim
Mcdougal's body had an autopsy as he was fixin tp sing for Starr. Know
he was in poor health, but time was close for hin to sing his song.
Hee, what they didn't know was Jim Mcdougal was fixing to publish his
book. Just found out 3 days ago that Ron Brown's lawyer commited
suicide 3 days after Ron was murdered. Yep, Clinton is head of an
organized crime syndicate.  Susan Mcdougal understands that I am sure,
and she has found a safe place to ride out the storm.

assistant: David, you are correct in your anylasis.  Reagan spent the Soviets into
bankruptcy by forcing them to try and keep up with the arms race. Down
came the curtain, and it has taken about 8 years for those nations to
be able to join in the purchasing of foreign goods. Clinton is riding
the coat tail of Reagan's efforts and claiming credit for the good
economy we are now experiencing. Clinton has done absolutely nothing to
improve the economy other than NAFTA, and we all know what that cost
the American taxpayer, not to mention the lost jobs to Mexico.

assistant: until he, too, got caught with his pants down, calls this the
vindication of "the Silent Plurality," the 35 percent made up
mostly of Generation X-ers who, like the French, don't care what
you do exactly as long as they don't have to tell the 7-year-olds
what oral sex is exactly.
Mr. Morris recalls another client, who reminds him a lot of Bill
Clinton. Bill Allain was once his candidate for governor of
Mississippi.
"Four weeks before election day, the Republicans announced that
they were holding three black gay transvestite prostitutes in a
Louisiana motel room who swore that they had had sex with Allain.
They passed lie-detector tests. Overnight his 30-point lead
metastasized into a 30-point deficit.
"As we battled back against the allegations, our polls showed
more and more voters saying that they refused to have an opinion
on them. They refused to discuss them or consider them in voting.
They were the Silent Plurality. When we changed the subject, they
sighed with relief. When the Republicans wouldn't let the matter
drop, these voters switched to Allain in droves, boosting him to
a 15-point victory."
But salvation may be on the way. That asteroid could be coming
straight at us.

assistant: The quota system, as I wrote earlier, is a flat number equally applied to
EACH country. Furthermore, we've had, until recently, the "diversity" visa
which is a lottery of sorts for people from various parts of the world.
Excluded from this visa process is all of Northern Europe, Canada, Mexico
and a couple of other countries.
And no, I'm not confusing you with Mike Angwin. Mike and I have very
profound differences when it comes to this subject. He has some personal

assistant: With the latest revelation about Katherine Willey and the 60
Minutes interview scheduled to air in about an hour and change,
and El Presidente and La Primera Mujer running for cover at
Camp David, I have this perverse idea that Boy Clinton may have
finally crossed the line.
Even Patricia Ireland and Maureen Dowd are coming out against
El Schmucko. FINALLY.
Willey has the credibility that can't be attacked. She was a Clinton
supporter, a Democrat, and has no known political baggage. As for
her "friend" who said she asked her to lie for her, wanna bet she's
been "coached" to say that by someone in the Clintonista camp?
Ms. Dowd finally came out and said if Clinton tried to throw Betty
Currie under the bus and use her as a sacrafice, it would blow up
in his face.
One thing more about Willey. IF she says during her interview with
Ed Bradley tonight that she had spoke with her now deceased husband
AFTER the "incident", someone might make a connection between her
being sexually ASSAULTED by Boy Clinton and her husband comitting
suicide. If THAT happens, Katie bar the door.
And we haven't even gotten to the Paula Jones trial yet. Oh boy.
THIS will be a fun year.
See my next post however regarding what I've read in "Unlimited
Access".

Write your reply.

assistant: Mike:
If you truly read my posting, you saw that this mass migration
took a period of years and that I specifically said that there
are SOME countries in which 4th preference visas are no longer
available because the backlog is so great that a petition filed
today won't have a visa availability number in anyone's lifetime.
I specifically took pains to mention several times that chain
migration occurs over a period of years and not an instant
process.
As for your wife and you going through the "maze" at INS, you
and I, and everyone else should know, that there is a certain
amount of "bureaucratic lag time" ie. processing time.
However, once again, I took specific pains to make the distinction
between Non Preference categories in which I stated a visa was
"immediately" available but that there was processing time involved.
The context it was given was that in comparrison to preference visas,
non preference visas were relatively quick in processing and that there
was no numerical limitation.
