"Look idiot......the immigration policy didn’t have a damned thing to do with 9-11"

That, is one of the funniest things I've ever read here. Probably had nothing to do with the first WTC attack either……..LOL!!!!

I support Cruz but had resigned myself to voting for big government populist Trump should he win the nomination. But his embrace of Michael Moore style moonbat hucksterism is chasing me away quickly. The guy is poison. He should start playing Dixie Chicks when he storms the stage in front of his crowds of fawning, confused former conservatives.

ha...I feel you bros. On the money. And what demonstrates to me that the country is gone is not Trump per se - I love some of what he does....and it's not his reasonable supporters - and there are some. What is proof of a dead Republic are all the zombies on our side now who project, twist, and ignore his liberalism.....OR WORSE - justify it by suddenly loving Michael Moore talking points and suddenly loving Kelo and suddenly loving cronyism - because their matinee idol hero does.

When the smartest half of the population becomes just as dumb as the other half, there's no one intelligent left to vote. I'll vote Trump over any Democrat. I'll vote him over many of the republicans. But I have no delusions - he is a dangerous liberal wolf in sheeps clothing that will have to be monitored carefully. And I will stand by my point that many have jettisoned all they used to believe in and all they used to really think about in a slavish bot type devotion. Those people bother me a helluva lot more than Trump does himself.

Well if by immigration policy one is referring to who is allowed to stay in the country as I think moehoward does then yes Bushes open borders policies were at the least, not helpful in protecting the country. Most of those involved in the attack were here illegally. Things might have been different if USA had aggressive enforcement of immigration laws.

If Trump says the moon landings were faked, more than half of these knuckleheads will start “educating” us on the deadly and impenetrable van Allen belts.

oh give me a break....Bush wasnn’t into his open border policies for 5 effen years LATER...and you hadn’t ever uttered the phrase yourself. Your 20-20 hindsight bullshit does not wash.

Trump said in response to Jeb saying “W kept us safe” (Please note the LACK of a 911 qualifier) that 911 happened on W watch. Is that not true? He also said that agressive enforcement of immigration laws “might” have prevented the attack. Since most of the attackers were here illegally (over stayed VISAs) he might have a point.

"Yup, and a big one."

I understand why you would think that.

"Reign", indeed...I guess some of us do desire a king. I wouldn't want to be caught expressing such a notion, either.

Of course they were here.
The question is after the first attack in 93 why weren’t applications from Muslim “tourists” and “students” given serious scrutiny?

We know nearly all of the 9/11 Islamists were here on visas that were rubber stamped despite questionable applications. Had Bush been a wee bit more concerned about the border and immigration, he could have toughened up such lax policies when he took office.

We also know Bush had been briefed on possible/probable attack plans.

Maybe, just maybe, it would have been a good idea to take a look see at recently processed Muslim visa applications.

Nah. You’re right. That would have been “STOOOOOooPID”.

Not true. Bush ran on his "compassionate conservatism", the usual talk (and only talk) of border enforcement, while speeding up and easing restrictions on entries and family unification.

Really, it’s hard to say Bush was president for 8 months. As most of us remember, the Left wouldn’t concede that Bush had won the election.

Agreed. Thats exactly how is was. I remember the incident with our intel plane that got rammed and had to land in China. There also was a great satire revision piece about how Bush implemented security measures to stop 911 and the democrats promptly brought up impeachment charges.

And I like Trump too, but he bought into too much anti-Bush stuff to where he almost endorsed Obama.

You’re so silly. And attempting to make a mountain out of a molehill. I use picturesque speech; you don’t seem to know how to or understand it. No longer wanting to be part of your drama and/or fixation, buzz off. I’m not fond of annoying gnats.
