Sadly, this is a big "IF." If the American people elect the Democrats in November, they are opting to surrender to the car bombers in Iraq and put PC concern for the "rights" of our terrorist enemies over our very survival. The stakes are high. And the Foley affair is providing the Democrats with a useful distraction. A vote for the democrats is, in effect, a vote for Bin Laden. Republicans need to pound this theme home relentlessly over the coming weeks.

I hear you. I hope that Republicans show up and vote.

Problem is, a lot of us are disheartened by the border situation. Token gestures to bust businesses, token gestures of small amounts of troops, and a token gesture to build a small fence (compared to the length of the border)has not satisfied a lot of people. And we are ignoring the Northern border, were terrorist will most likely come from Canada.

It has been five years since 911 and the border situation has a lot to do with National Security. We have controlled the House, Senate and White House and we have chosen not to secure our borders. I believe in a strong offense as the best defense, but I also was a Combat Engineer in the US Army. I understand the value of protecting your turf. Setting up obstacles to slow the enemy down. Allowing you to set up ambushes to pounce on your enemy. I think we could do more to protect the American people. I know the Demorats won't protect us. I know I will vote Republican, but I sure would like to see the Republicans being the Champion of Border Security.

I think the border security issue alone will do the most damage to our Party. People will disregard Foley. The rats have their own issues (see the Congressman who took boys to Brazil and Barney Frank and Ted Kennedy and Robert Byrd and the other drunk Kennedy and Bill Clinton and Coward Dean and Hack Murtha and Nancy Peloser and I could keep going but I have to stop somewhere). Nobody asked Tip O'Neal to step down when the pervert to boys to Brazil. National Security very important in the voters mind not Foley and the like. And again the problem is, some people have lost faith in the Republican Party because of the border.
