The funny thing is if the Republicans had their way and all the “immigrants,” illegal or legal left the US, the US would collapse and that’s real talk. Besides the only real Americans are the Native Americans…and look what happened to them smh!

Gonna add my two cents before he/she responds. Donald Trump and his views on Mexicans, Muslims, etc. I could go on about that and all the other people that were up there. Defunding Planned Parenthood, ripping up the Iran deal, etc. Morons….the lot!

Well, I threw in tea party because our friend Coffee would understand the reference. I frankly don’t give a rat’s arse about them, because I think they’re irrelevent.
The fact is, and the point I was making, is that the PLP’s policies, anti-foreigner, nationalistic, isolationsist – are right-wing.

More lies from you?? I have on every occasion lambasted any OBA member for saying anything remotely complimentary concerning the Democratic Party of the US, anyone that feels they should say anything good about a political party that would cut our income supply at the first chance they could, says it out of total ignorance and I don’t care what local party allegiance they have!!!

Please elaborate with that totally false statement!!!

Zevon, you also are ignorant to US politics!!! The Tea party and the Rubublicans are against ILLEGAL immigration!!!!! When will locals ever actually study and learn the topics they talk about??? The Republicans and the Tea Party splinter group wholeheartedly encourage all,those that can bring something to benefit their country to move there, what they are totally against is, anyone that enters the country ILLEGALLY and bringing nothing and then sponging off their system!!!! The same policies would benefit us right here in Bermuda!!! Once again I will say, the ignorance in Bermuda, has NO boundaries!!!!

The Republicans are a bunch of racist….I could go on. If you watched the Republican Debate, you’d see first hand why people should never ever vote for them! It’s almost laughable…

I wonder if the PLP realise tgat their main platforms – anti-foreigner, nationalistic, isolationist – are regarded as right-wing tea party policies everywhere else.

It’s kind of funny that both local political parties try to come across as Democrat-leaning and tea party-denouncing, and accuse the opposing party of being ‘stodgy right wingers’.

President Obama has nothing to do with this.

No wonder this island is so f..k up.

Get a life folks or a hobby.

But you love the OBA and the leader of the OBA loves the democrats , and the OBA speaks for you .

Coffee, speak for yourself!!! I do not even like Obama or the Democrats!!! The level of obliviance in this island is astounding when it comes to US politics, if Odrama and his democrats had their way, we would not have the IB sector here which only happens to be 85% of our INCOME!!!! If you and the others that choose to live in obliviance actually studied the real facts, you might actually be thanking the Republicans for stopping the Democratic Party agenda!!!!

Bernews I must commend you on your in-depth reporter with our new U.S. Consul, Mary Ellen Koenig. It appears to be a breath of fresh air having now heard her opinion and view/s on our relationship with the American Government.

If your “youthful indiscretion” is driving under the influence (a criminal act) you have absolute immunity from being placed on the “stop list” database of ineligibility. Seems fair.
