The open border is one of Bush's last remaining vulnerabilities, which could result in him losing the election.

If AQ terrorists came over the open border and pulled a Beslan, it would be blamed 100% on Bush and his open border policy. And for once, the media would be right.

(Not that Gore would have done any better, that's not the point. The 'rat media would crucify Bush for "sending the military to Iraq, and leaving the border wide open."

I firmly believe that, should a major terrorist attack happen inside the US and the perps entered illegally over the north or south border, the sitting President, whether Kerry or Bush, will be impeached at the insistence of the American people. And most of Congress will be replaced by the American people.

The politicians still are asleep or are too busy with their under-the-table placating and pandering and business dealings. But I believe the American people are more aware than the politicians know and Americans will clean house of the elected.

That said, GWB is walking a thin line by not putting more border controls in place. It will be HIS failing if the next major terrorist attack happens by illegals slipping in.

Al Qaida must be like a football team on offense just noticing, that while the defensive line are the biggest mothers they've ever seen, both safeties are parapalegic.

We are all being put at risk for the sake of the almighty dollar. close the borders now.

There is such a thing as issue by issue "loyal opposition." I have come to respect President Bush a great deal. But we need to make sure we're heard on this issue, even if we support 9 out of 10 of his other policies. First we are Americans. Our first loyalty should be for America. The Founding Fathers never expected us to trust any leader blindly.

That's true, the media would hammer on him, but it's not as though he's left the border unmanned. The news media just isn't giving him credit for what he's done, either.
