If Bush doesn't do something about our southern border, he's a fool and a failure.

How can you convince the public to suck it up, spend money and have troops die in Iraq because we don't close it's borders with terrorists sponsors like Syria and Iran (while we treat Saudi Arabia like friends...even my idiot, left wing, Clinton loving mother brings up the Saudis while she's spewing the latest DNC talking points to me on the phone!).

I don't understand why we can't put 5,000 or so National Guard or real Army soldiers along our border with Mexico. Heck, I'm cranky enough to give shoot to kill orders.

This stuff is an act of war. But our elected leaders don't care about defending the country any longer. All they care about is getting their $100,000 for a Bee Museum named after them in their dinky hometown in some backwater city no one gives a hoot about.

I once thought Republicans had principles. I once thought the third party folks were crazy when they said, "the GOP and the Dems are no different" when I hear the crap coming from the Dems and some logic from the GOP. I no longer think they were crazy.

So now, when I hear someone tell me that not voting or voting a third party is a "waste of my vote", I finally disagree. If I vote, as is my right, it's never wasted.

And if working my tail off for almost 30 years to get more GOP candidates elected gets me Dem-lite (1980's) and Dem-PLUS (expanded bureaucracy and "entitlements" in 2000's), then what's the point?

Never again will I vote for anyone who expands government power, encourages dependency, refuses to enforce the 2nd Amendment, or refuses to defend our borders.

I will vote third party before I vote for a socialist in republican clothing.
