---What issue is more important than the security of the nation? ---
Keeping Republicans in the majority, according to many here.
I want them in the majority because they promised to do certain things when campaigning. Not for the sake of being i nthe majority.
"Between a rock and a hard place" describes the position of many conservatives today, I would guess. If some Republicans in office, e.g. Bush, Hagel, and Martinez are willing to bestow U.S. citizenship upon millions of immigrants and illegal aliens, we have to ask why.
If their hidden agenda is to court these people to add to their voter ranks, we will never hear them say it.
Whether or not that is the goal, it amounts to pure stupidity, IMO.
As wiser people than I have said, the end result will be a United States that we and those before us would not recognize anymore. It will be for the worse, not the better. This is the mess we will leave to our progeny.
George W. Bush was the only acceptable candidate I could vote for in the last two presidential elections. Frankly, he has disappointed me; I think he should have been wiser. Maybe he doesn't have it in him.
