Do you reckon Frist might finally be getting the message?
To: Aussie Dasher
I think they had to keep putting this kind of thing off until closer to the election.

How did this get in the Aussie news, and not here in CONUS?

Now the only problem will be the leeches who will find ways to grab money for their own pet projects.

This better be a real, Israeli-style fence, and not the fence found in suburban home backyards.

I think they had to keep putting this kind of thing off until closer to the election. I think they didn't want to do it at all but are now BECAUSE of the election.

Let's hope so. I'm sure I'm not the only one calling and emailing he & his cohorts.

When they start passing or enforcing laws against the illegals currently here I just might start to believe them.....a itty bitty bit.
Til then.......................

It appears that he got the message. However, I still think the price of gasoline is weighing heavily on the minds of voters, and unless there is some sort of miracle there, it is going to hurt the Republicans.

One has to wonder what took so long. It is almost as if the Congress was trying to sabotage the President by letting him take the heat for unfunded directives.
Now, I wonder how contracts are going to be handled.

About time! Lets get going. Since it was appropriated as an "emergency", let's see if construction is done as if it's an emergency.

It is almost as if the Congress was trying to sabotage the President by letting him take the heat for unfunded directives.The Bush administration wanted no part of a border fence, it's been Congress that has pushed it. Congress put a mandate for a fence in an earlier bill, but the Senate a couple weeks ago voted not to fund its actual construction. It's a measure of the kind of heat they've been getting after that that this new funding amendment passed, I think, 94 to 6.
