Democrats to 'revisit' law creating border fence

Look again. It won't be Lou Dobbs who will be signing any open borders/amnesty legislation into law. It will be George W. Bush who will be doing this damage.

Thank you. It took 28 posts for someone to point out the obvious. I'm sure Bush will veto this .LOLOLOLOLOLOL.

[GulfBreeze]

I hope not. It's a stupid thing. It will never happen and it promotes the barefoot hillbilly stereo type.

[AD from SpringBay]

The dems don't have a veto-proof majority, not that we have much precedent that Bush will use it. But there's always hope.

[Dane]

The only bright spot would be that the newly elected Dems would have to go on the record against the fence. I doubt that this will come up.

Of course not, these new dems are going to tow the pelosi line.

It is up to us in the new media to show these new dems hypocrisy.

[ImpBill]

You have the last word!

It would be devastating in time of war. I'm already resigned to the possibility that we'll get hit again. Soon. It won't be another 9/11--it'll be another Hiroshima. America is not serious about this fight. Too many Americans just don't even want to think about it or deal with it. They just want to go right on with their little Disneyland lives and hope it goes away. It's much easier to say it's Bush fault or think global warming is a greater threat.

Perhaps when New York disappears we'll wise up. Perhaps.

They were listening to Michael Weiner...

The Dems will not impeach Bush. The leadership knows that this will redound against them and threaten their newly made gains. They want to consolidate and add to them. They will have plenty of investigations to sully the President and GOP in preparation for 2008.

Someone should ask Harry Reid if it is a good idea to have a Dem President in 2008 since the Dems now control Congress. No checks and balances and one party control.

[ImpBill]

What, you don't think for a minute he wouldn't change is opinion on that statement of his? /sarc

Are you coming to this?

It is imaging burnishing time for the times. They will set the new tone of bipartisan government and the MSM will extoll how well everything is going now that the Dems have control over Congress. The lead article in today's WP was all about Rangel and the Dems addressing important issues like AMT, which would have had to be addressed no matter what party was in power. The problem is if they reduce the impact of AMT, they also cut revenue.

I hope the Reps hold the Dems to pay-go, i.e., no new spending without reductions elsewhere to cover it. Let's see how the Dems fund their new social programs.

[RoadTest]

Come, Lord Jesus.

I hope not. It's a stupid thing.

It appears to be a stupid thing to those that do not live on the border and can't allow the kids to play outside without an armed adult guard....

There is no one to protect Texas soil and sovereignty but those directly affected....Eventually all Texans will be directly affected...along with those in other states that will look back and wish they had acted, when action would have worked....

If the terrorists are smart, they will hold off on any major attacks on the US. They can achieve their objectives with a Dem congress and presidency. Iraq will drop into their laps like ripe fruit falling off the vine.

[Puppage]

Thanks Lou Dobbs, you have no idea the damage you have caused.

Thanks, Dobbs? How 'bout we thank GW & the soon to be previous congress.

They had a majority AND DID ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!

[ustanker]

Exactly,The Dem's will fight the war with hugs and Talking real nice.

[brushcop]

"This election has altered this nation so much it is scary to even think about it..."

Yep, here's what I see happening early on:

1)Impeachment/investigative proceedings of Rumsfeld/Bush (to chill any opposition).
2) Arrest of pastors/preachers/priests for "hate speech".
3) Gun restrictions/confiscations

That puts them squarely and comfortably in power, then the real oppression begins.

Many of you seem to be betting on "blue dog" Dems, ain't gonna happen, just like all political Dems, they hide what they really are about, they will gladly follow party rules because they enjoy power, very simple.

Now, figure out how to combat this effectively. I see no strong conservative leaders yet, the rest of the Repubs are still running into hiding and whimpering, meanwhile our military has been betrayed and sold down the river and they are my NUMBER ONE CONCERN, not scumbag congresscritters.

[snowsislander]

The Dem's can do more damage in 2 years than the GOP can fix in 10.

Yes. All of those people who are praising the election of the Democrats as some sort of great way for us to win in 2008 seem to be forgetting just how bad it was the last time the Democrats ran the House of Representatives.

If we hadn't managed to get a sunset provision, the dead-stupid Assault Weapons Bill would still be the law of the land. We then squandered our chances of revoking any federal gun control when we had all three branches of government and accomplished nothing.

This time around, in addition to more gun control, we are going to see a general amnesty for illegal aliens and no fence built.

They had a majority AND DID ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!

Look at the bright side. Now we have a party in power that will get something done and quickly! /s

WASHINGTON - No sooner did Congress authorize construction of a 700-mile fence on the U.S.-Mexico border last week than lawmakers rushed to approve separate legislation that ensures it will never be built, at least not as advertised, according to Republican lawmakers and immigration experts.
...
This case reflects political calculations by GOP strategists that voters do not mind the details, and that key players -- including the administration, local leaders and the Mexican government -- oppose a fence-only approach, analysts said.

You think I'd post something untrue? STFU!
