I quoted then-candidate Bush from his campaign in 2000. He didn't say terrorists, and the topic was illegal immigration, (not terrorism). As evidenced by recordings, he said, "we've got to protect our borders!"
Just how many terrrorists have gotten through our borders to do an attack on the American people since Bush said he would protect our borders?
We don't know, and the government doesn't, either, because they are unwilling/unable to prevent unknown aliens entering unofficial border crossings.
If our borders are not safe then why aren't the terrorists killing those of those us in America like they are killing Americans in Iraq? The truth is Bush has made our borders safe.
Many violent crimes are committed by illegal aliens, not all of whom belong to MS-13 or known terrorist organizations, and many people may feel terrorized by these criminals. Terrorists may enter illegally or legally, but they might not commit crimes the first day after they enter.
Is Miers less qualified than Justice Goldberg appointed by John F. Kennedy. Goldbergs entire experience in the law was as an employee of the AFL/CIO.
I was referring to some of President Bush's nominees to lower courts whom Senate Democrats threatened to filibuster. Several of these nominees were never confirmed, and some took years to confirm. Some may have been better qualified than Miers, and hopefully some voters will see that.
Do you think selling a supremec court position to a Union lawyer Embarrassed Teddy or Jack Kennedy? Get a Clue!!!!
I never said anything about Democrats being embarassed (if that's even possible).
If you think Democrats were embarrassed ... you are a lot dumber than I think you are.
Thank you for your high regard.
Don't try to feed me garbage about embarrassed Democrats. Only people as ignorant of the past and Democrats as you are, would believe you.
I didn't. Why do you bring up straw men arguments?
embarassed = embarrassed
