I think we should evaluate this from an objective perspective, and not one of emotion or partisanship. For quite some time, we have seen a number of articles posted on FR about the lack of control/security at the border and warning of a possible attack by terrorists coming into the US posing as Mexicans. This argument should not be new.
The only thing new is that the leftists are picking up the argument and salivating over it at the prospect of regaining POWER!! Nothing else. We have complained bitterly about the prospect of a terrorist attack and the detrimental affect that it could have on the current crop of Republicans in POWER.
So, basically, what the HuffPo has done is reveal the level of power that terrorists, who might be planning an attack this fall, wield. It is, potentially, in their hands as to how the elections turn out. If you were a terrorist, what would you be thinking right about now? Were it me, I'd be thinking "Do I want the Republicans who will fight us everywhere they can back in control, or do I want the Democrats who will run every chance they get?" Then, I'd start firing up the bomb-making factory and crank'em out as fast as I could.
A LOT of conservatives are angry at what passes for conservative "leadership" in Washington and plan to "send a message" by voting for their conservative representative's opponents. Well, I'm angry, too. But let me ask a question, if we're not happy with the Republicans (yes, even the RINOs) in Congress, how will voting for Democrats and, potentially, shifting the POWER structure on Captol Hill, going to make things better? What improvements will they make? Are higher taxes, cut and run, government health care, a ban on home schooling, etc., etc., ad nauseum, the policies we really want? Are these going to make life in the US any better; get the borders closed any faster?
I suggest that we are better off to stay with "the ones what brung us" and hope that the sheer volume of our numbers is sufficient to get their attention. If not, there is always Hillary and '08.
I've already heard that from the politicians, so if we are 'hit' again, I for one will place the blame squarely on DC
Now excuse me, but if I think 'more' about what the politicians are telling the citizens of the US, I may become ill.
