So do I Peach, but we're not the only people out here. There are many people who are incredibly angry about the border issue. They are also really angry about the doubling of the Department of Education's budget, despite it's impact on "UNION" membership in our education system.

I'm not happy about those things either. And I really detest the Medicare prescription plan.

But no person or party is perfect and so I make my selections based on what I told you. Other people just stay home and don't vote when they're disappointed but I try to be more pragmatic.

" There are many people who are incredibly angry about the border issue."

My friend's sister-in-law, a lifelong GOP voter, sat out the vote because she is so angry at the illegal aliens flooding this nation.

I see it here in Oregon, construction sites and restaurants are almost entirely 100% native Mexican workers that cannot speak English. I don't think any of them are legal, and no one seems to care.

Firefighting crews, too, are almost entirely Mexican. There's no way that that native-born Anglos are that unqualified for fire-fighting, construction and restaurant work that they are never hired, so it has to be that the Latinos are being paid substandard wages, or wages under the table.

I'm sick at heart at the way this country is headed...
