This has been a bad week for conservatives.
(1) Republicans passed detainee bill that practically give President Bush everything he wants on how to treat terrorists and put them in military tribunals.
(2) Republicans approved 700 miles fence on the US-Mexico borders something was never done before in history of the country.
And you still call it a bad week for conservatives? Do you mean the bitter loser Buchananites and third party voters? In this case I agree with you but those are not real conservatives and they are at odd with 95% of conservatives who are very happy with these two great legislations.
Well, let's see.
Conservatives wanted Bush's bill on military tribunals passed rather then McCain's "get a terrorist out of Jail Free Card" bill passed.
We got Bush's bill.
Conservatives wanted a fence to enforce our soveriegnty as a nation AND try to decrease the avenues for terrorists to sneak through.
We might have just gotten our fence WITH funding to follow shortly.
Bad week for conservatives? O-Kay. I'll take more bad weeks then.
It beats all the damn "great" weeks we had when McCain got his Al Quida Bill of Rights passed and the kennedy/McCain bill sailed through.
Certainly this isn't the end of this. I want to make sure that fence is built, and we need to start enforcing our laws WITHIN the borders as well. But it's a start. And if it is as it appears to be at this moment based on the 19 against and the "concerns" of the mexican government? The GOP just secured my help the next month in retaining and maybe increasing the majority. I'll restrain the cynisism long enough to help build them good momentum in the final stretch.
Only an open border will please you, huh?
