HUNTER PING!

....Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-Calif., wrote a letter to President Bush noting only 17.9 miles of the 854 miles of fencing called for in the Secure Fence Act had been completed as of Aug. 10, stressing that the Bush administration was falling behind the timetable mandated by Congress in the bill.

Yesterday, Hunter’s office confirmed to WND the importance of building the double-layer fence as originally called for in the bill.

“The Secure Fence Act was clear in that it required two layers of fencing separated by a road and monitored by lights, cameras and sensors,” Joe Kasper, communications director for Hunter, told WND in an e-mail.

Kasper acknowledged the Hutchison amendment will change the definition of the fence required by the Secure Fence Act of 2006.

“This new requirement no longer mandates that fencing be double-layered,” Kasper wrote. “Given that double-layered fencing has worked so well in San Diego County, it is difficult to understand why this design wouldn’t be replicated at other fencing locations along the border.”

There is a reason why I will only vote for Duncan Hunter in the ‘08 elections. He will see to it that the fence is built. I would bet everything I own that none of the other guys would see it built. Now that the other candidates are finally waking up to the political importance of ending illegal invasion, they are all pandering for votes. But they don’t mean a damn word they say. It will be business as usual if the sorry b@st*rds win.

I hope The Department of Homeland Security gets “gutted”. I also hope Texans will retire Kay Bailey and elect someone who cares about securing our borders more than being a Bush lackey.

This is probably the reason Bush and Chertoff have been stalling. They were waiting for a lackey to quietly introduce something that would essentially kill the Secure Fence Act. Gilchrist endorses Huckabee and now this. Eventually the Shamnesty they wanted will be a reality. It may be death by a thousand cuts, but it will happen. Just as I have known for a year now; If Duncan Hunter is not elected you can kiss American Sovereignty goodbye. If the rest cared they would have been doing something about this when they had the opportunity. They don’t care, but what they do care about is getting elected. So tired of, “but, but, the polls, no one knows who Hunter is”, and perhaps they don’t. They, apparently don’t know they are going to be waking up in a third-world, ****-hole in the near future either.

The 4th branch of government strikes again is all. It is an election year and the bureaucracy knows it can drag its feet on the fence. Especially with the help of Jorge, Cherty, and Miss KBH.

The current excuse we call a government isn’t worth one damn.

Hunter authoried it and the Rats in Congress, Jorge El Segundo and Michael Chertoff effectively killed it with a “virtual” fence - GREAT for nabbing “virtual” border sneaks. but not too useful for stopping the real ones.

“Where’s the fence?”

“Gee, I don’t have it. Mike?” Senator “Larry” Hutchison

“I dunno, I thought you had it.” Director of Homeland Security “Moe” Chertoff

So where’s the 3rd Stooge? On first? No, who’s on first . . .
