Why do we even bother pretending to have borders? We don’t defend them to any real effect.
I’ve said it before... when it comes to the border, no elected official is to be trusted. Not a single one... they’re all for sale.
Hey Norm.
LOL. Now is not the time to fight. In fact, it’s never the right time for the
GOP to fight. We must support the lessor of two evils in 2016.
And we are surprised by this because...???
“I was being sarcastic.”
Ahhhh got it. Kind like “boy we will really get him after we control congress”... Or the next budget we will cut cost ... or.....
of course pertinent is the definition of evil
broadening it to the point of absurdity is intellectual dishonesty a la ISIS
At this point I don’t care anymore. We need someplace to escape from Obama’s impending full-blown dictatorship.
Understand, that lesser-of-two-evil hold-your-nose election voting has been for me and many, a matter of pragmatic compromise.
I did not entirely agree with or appreciate your take and other skeptic’s warning until now.
The country has absolutely been betrayed.
See my tagline.
Something has to be done as border security, amnesty, obolacare, nat’l debt, personal privacy legislation is up for action.
We are at a point of no return or recovery.
That's a nice start (i.e. a heads up) but until you can present an article with an actual named opponent of the bill stating facts about the bill, you got nothing, Just innuendo.
Anyone really surprised?
Well of course! Because it’s purely patriotic to vote for people against everything conservatives believe in!
See, here’s my reasoning. The “D” is on which side of the alphabet? The left. The “R” is on which side? The right.
So even if the candidate the GOP pushes is a screaming leftist with a record of pushing the gay agenda, abortion and hating Reagan (Hi Mitt!!!) He is STILL further to the right than the dem because of alphabetical location alone.
And if you disagree, you hate America and love obama ;)
Yes. All the Flagladys, Whats ups, Logical Me’s and Lakesharks that pushed ‘no matter what crap till their fingers bled.
Then again, that assumes facts not in evidence like them being simply idiots instead of paid plants.
Although fences are nice, the first rule of border security is to have armed men posted. Fences, walls, moats, minefields, and high tech surveillance are all useless without men on the ground. Wouldn’t take much more than two or three brigades of the regular Army, but that would be too sensible for DC!

Do statements from the bill’s supporters warrant concern?
“Extra fencing would be a waste of money, according to Texas Rep. Michael McCaul, chairman of the House Committee on Homeland Security.
“The bill matches resources to needs, putting 27 more miles of fencing where fencing is needed, and technology where technology is needed,” said the statement.
“In our conversations with outside groups, experts and stakeholders, we learned that it would be an inefficient use of taxpayer money to complete the fence. … We are using that money to utilize other technology to create a secure border,” said the statement.”
Very few are even POTUS worthy. Cruz maybe Palin if she ever got serious about it, Lee, and Jeff Sessions. The rest the media has mentioned forget it.
Actually, most borders on the globe are marked by rivers and mountain crests -- and are without fences.
So far as the Rio Grande border is concerned, we can go to school on the nation that absolutely has to have a secure border: Israel.
Their border with Jordan is the Jordan River. And there is no fence. Instead, there are advanced observation posts, technological listening posts and a highly mobile border force.
This approach allows the farmers on both sides of the river access to its waters, while maintaining security.
To the GOP loyalists that scream, “But you HAVE to vote for X, or Y will get in!”....
.....My response is always, “Yes! Because it is MUCH better that X approves illegal amnesty, bans guns, votes for socialism, adopts fringe Greenie positions, cows to every Obama initiative, backs abortion, and elevates gays over heteros. MUCH better!”
In general terms, there is only one most important General Election ever.
It's always less than four years in the future.
I can guarantee you only one thing.
On November 10th, 2016, the most important General Election ever will be less than four years ahead.
Huh? Didn’t we just re elect these people?
