This is amazing news. It will all but secure Republican victories this November and in 2008.
"700 miles of fence
700 miles ain't enough.
80 in favor is much better than I expected. Only 19 opposed.
Rasmussen reported today that this could help the GOP:

I wish it was 2000 miles instead of only 700 miles, but at least it's a start.

Oh well, let's not have actual voting records get in way of people's agenda here. Many freepers will continue to insist Al Gore's running mate and his 90% leftist record is a-okay but Lindsey Graham and his 90% conservative record is unacceptable and ranks on the level of Nelson Rockefeller, and purging him from office should be our number #1 priority. Graham MUST go. But Joe "throw out the overseas milltary vote" Loserman is our best buddy in the WOT.
With some "conservatives" priorities on this board, it's no wonder our "Republican" Congress has record spending levels haven't secured the borders in five years since 9/11.

I generally like President Bush but at times I wish he would just shut up about that "guest worker program"; nobody but the Mexicans, the editorial staff of "The Wall Street Journal" and assorted liberals like it.
