Do you know that Specter is asking for hearings about the NSA wiretapping???
THAT is something that President Bush did immediately after 9/11 to help our "security problems"...and now look at the "thanks he gets"...
Do you really believe, that him slamming the borders closed, like you say...would have happened without a HUGH backlash, already the ACLU calls him a racist just for wanting a guest worker program...
Do you also remember that none of the terrorists of 9/11 came from over the southern border...one did try to come from the northern border, bud a border control agent did her job...and stopped him. THAT might be one reason why he has concentrated what security measures he has been ALLOWED to do on other areas..for the time being..
Remember. Bush is NOT a KING....he can't order anything done...and this is one reason his OWN PARTY is questioning his every move.
I really wish so much of the vitriol WAS placed on named Congressweinies...because to blame Bush for everything is wrong and tiresome.
I said, "by contrast, the border simply is not [taken seriously]" if you compare it to action taken at the airports. When someone says "this is serious" and follows it up with actions, I believe them. If it is followed up with window-dressing, I don't. I don't lay all the blame on Bush, the majority we supposedly have in the Senate shares it. But they also don't publicly state what the "agenda" is for the nation. BTW, this poll is about electing congress/senate, not about a presidential election.
