Just what we need. Another Arizona politician weighing in on those damn YMCA campers with iphones.

They were sad alright. Those campers were on a field trip.

Can we at least leave kids alone? It takes really cowardly politicians to go after kids.

Let’s let kids get settled in facilities. Let’s encourage our federal legislators to fund money for extra judges, social workers, intake officers etc. so we can facilitate a quick resolution of this issue.

We obviously can’t provide permanent homes for kids without parents. Each kid has his or her own story. Let’s cut the politics and get on with it.

As an aside, Youth for Tomorrow has hired off-duty police to guard their entrance. Good for them. Is this what its come to, folks? A Christian organization feels its necessary to have additional security because of hot heads in the community. I wonder if they have a donation fund for this initiative?

9 Thoughts to “Another Dumb Ass: YMCA camper bus mistaken for immigrant children”

  1. Scout

    The kids “looked sad” because of the antics of the “adults” out there. Somehow, even the dimmest of the children has to sense that their welfare is very much at risk when they are dependent for almost two decades on people like that candidate. That would scare the hell out of me if I were five or six years old.

  2. Wolve

    I believe I heard on the video that the YMCA kids on the yellow bus were seen by reporters laughing and taking pictures on their cell phones.

    1. You heard right. I put up a new video that tells and shows more.

  3. Starry flights

    No doubt he will get lots of votes from the ignorant, low information teahadis.

  4. Scout

    Wolve – I heard the same thing and that sounds more likely. I was playing with the lunkhead candidate’s statement when he talked about how sad the children were (I think he was trying to make us suspect that he had some empathy for them). When confronted with the reality that the kids were Yankee-Doodle Dandies on a YMCA field trip, he (give him credit, he didn’t miss a beat), said that they seemed sad also.

  5. Lyssa

    He’ll win and we’ll lose a little more. Maybe we’re beginning of The History of the Decline and Fall of the American Empire. Short lived as well, we’re closing in on the 500 year mark. Our political, social and economic institutions are disintegrating.

  6. Scout

    We soared high for a while though, Lyssa, and there were things back then in which we can take national pride. In statistics there’s a phenomenon called “regressing to the mean.” Somehow, our culture seems to be possessed of a regression to the mean. Pun is very much intended.

  7. Pat.Herve

    If he is this much of an idiot, there must be other things that he says/does that should make him unelectable. But that is not the way all the time – there are plenty of elected officials who should be unelectable.
