I heard they mentioned and discussed Egypt, health care, Iran, meals on wheels, law suites, Africa, Tax cuts, Iraq, Social Security, Israel, Aids, open heart surgery, teachers, Korea, public schools, their voting records, who cares more about the troops, Medicare, Halliburton, etc etc..
Did they even mention the millions pouring into our country illegally, during war time yet? What is it now? 3 million a year?
Are we kidding ourselves? Is the joke on us?
We have a Presidential debate, a VP debate, and a speech today from the President of the United States, yet has either side even mentioned one of the biggest, most threatening issues facing this nation?
Has this issue grown so large that the MSM, and all the politicos running as fast as they can from it? Did they agree not to mention it?
Is the king naked? Are we stupid? Do they have a hidden agenda? Are they stupid? Should we even bring this up? Are they really on the same team? Am I stepping out of line? Will this thread be sent to the corn field?

Yes

Yes
I guess so
No
No
The BIG question is "WHY WON'T KERRY SIGN A 180 FORM. We could end up with a DISHONORABLE DISCHARGED president.
It's not an issue. Buchanan proved that. It doesn't register on any polls of what voters are concerned about.
Joe,
One day, when economic collapse comes to fruition, and that day is coming, (I don't know when) then we will all collectively decide that we've all hadenuf.
When the day comes, many of us will fret over how tough times are, and in doing so we will find someone else to blame. Jews will get blamed for hoarding money (forget that they actually earned it with hard work and competence, emotion will trump reason), the welfare class will get blamed for siphoning off money, and this will be somewhat deserved, and if things get really bad, many will start to wish that the elderly would just die quicker.
Trust me, it'll be ugly. But it seems it's our nature not to do anything about our various problems until the problem has got us up to our eyeballs.
I hope I don't live to see the "day" I refer to above.

Surely it matters as much as school vouchers or gay marriage.
LOL Why do you want to write in Jeff Flake?
Buchanan's candidacy is an eon ago.
The 'water cooler' talk at my Georgia office indicates people are paing more attention. About taxes, overflowing ERs, Latino B&E/rape gangs, drugs/prostitution, vanishing low-end job oportunities...you bet people are noticing what's going on.
Like Tom Tancredo, Jeff Flake is an AZ House Rep who is serious about dealing with border security & illegal immigration issues.
LOL No he isn't. Google search Jeff Flake and Jim Kolbe as well as guet workers.
You probably will, I don't expect it's that far off.
However, I do expect [or hope] that with the help of the new media [you're looking at it rignt now], that the public will get it right and finger the perps as the Illegals themselves and DC politicians that greased the skids to help their various K Street-connected donors.
Time for a guy that must be at work eight hours from now to sign off.
Will check back later.
Whoops, looks like this has been sent to the corn field..
I agree that it's an important issue, but regretably the election campaign is not the best place to bring it up. It's a no-win proposition. If Bush comes out in favor of admitting more illegal aliens, he angers his base. If he comes out in favor of enforcing tougher immigration laws, he gives the Democrats a terrific opportunity to pander for the Hispanic vote.
I wish he would tighten up after the election. But it would be disastrous to raise the issue now. It's a political third rail.
From a post: " It doesn't register on any polls of what voters are concerned about -
Last I heard, around 70+% were against illegals. The problem is - the majority of the "illegals" end up going to chosen locations - in a few states - and this is how the people in government (and media) keep this well below radar - (isolate them and keep the areas from communicating with each other and with the rest of America)
If we had a "free" media - they would be reporting on the cries of those being harmed by all the illegals - but as we all know - that just isn't the case and the issue of the illegals points to that in a big way -
You never see a story(get national attention) that mentioned the crimes or anything else connected to "illegals" - just as during the Clinton years, the media under reported or failed to mention crimes increasing by African Americans against Whites -
Not only are Mexicans increasing in large numbers, but so are Muslims - how do you think that would go over if the people realized the truth - ?
The agenda is set - and no one is about to mess with it - some because they are unsure of the outcome(no backbone) and some because it is part of their plan to bring in all the illegals - the nation will stay divided. The culture of America will fall - along with the nation itself. Defeated from within - as predicted
just my thoughts -
Hugh and series.
I thought the same thing myself. We hear candidates constantly repeating themselves in debates that are far too long. Why didn't one of the moderators have the balls to even ask the question about it and put it in play? Dems and repubs both have no sack when it comes to the invasion. Our leaders seldom lead.
Oh, thanks for that Iowa comment. I can see, you're on the case, cutting edge comment.
Say hi to Boxer and Feinstein, your "representatives," for me.
