“The republicans as well as the democrats have refused to shut down the borders”
False. 90% of Democrats voted FOR amnesty. Amensty failed because conservative Republicans opposed it.
It s was Republicans in the House and Senate who DID force the issue of securing the borders.
“The republicans a few years ago had it all” Not since November 2006.
“I beg to differ, the republicans (with the exception of a few) are just as guilty as the democrats in driving our country toward bankruptcy.”
BS. Every single GOP member of Congress vorted against the Obama budget. Every single GOP House member voted NO on the trillion dollar stimulus. THE BANKRUPTING OF AMERICA IS HAPPENING ONLY WITH DEMOCRAT VOTES IN THE PELOSI/REID CONGRESS. To say the Republicans are ‘just as guilty’ is plain ignorance.
You are guilty of letting the socialists off scot-free by spreading the blame to the innocent. This is something liberals are inclined to do. It’s flabby and false thinking based on a distortion of facts.
The republicans could have passed whatever they wanted prior to Nov. 2006, and they pissed it away. No balanced budget, no secure borders, practically the same crap the democrats are passing. Sure, they’re for “balanced budgets” now that they’re powerless and have no chance of passing anything. It’s easy to take a stand when you know your vote doesn’t matter anyway.
Please don't forget who championed the bill.....McCain and Bush.
Last I heard, they were republicans.
Then, they attempted to push amnesty through a second time.
Not to be stopped there, Bush attempted to get the bill segmented off into other bills to get some of it passed.
Then there's the REPUBLICAN governor of Texas, Rick Perry which has done nothing on the border.
The republicans in the house and senate bowed to the pressure of the American OUTCRY...if ya remember correctly.
In fact, right before the congressional elections, it was republicans and democrats that passed a bill to build hundreds of miles of fence.
Lo and behold, after the election, our legislators on both sides of the isle began talking down legislation appropriating the funds for the fence.
Congress with the help of republicans voted to PASS Bush's stimulus.
Distortion of the facts???? We are in the shape we are in as a nation because the republican leadership lacked backbone and core conservative values.
Sorry, that's fact......sorry if it hurts.
