I found this interesting.

FACT: Under the Clinton Administration, Border Patrol manpower increased by more agents before 9-ll than Bush has added since 9-11.

The question, I suppose, is "what does it take to get Americans to wake up to their responsibilities in self government". Personally, I've become quite the pessimist. I see little in the Republican party that is actually helping this nation remain a nation. They talk a good line come election time, but the rest of the time they pretty much do the same thing Democrats do, albeit less precipitously. Bush and his ilk will destroy us with his illegal immigration insanity. Republicans can't even pass real tax reform, which was once one of their main rallying causes. Every day I see more spanish and less English, and at every construction site the workers are sun blackened little people who don't speak English. I stop at a gas station in the morning and have to wait behind lines of them getting their quick burrito breakfasts before hopping in the back of a pickup truck and being ferried off to the day's job, and Walmart's video adverts blare at me in spanish. Our current crop of Republicans suck. Having held both houses and the Executive for so long, now, their pitiful performance indicates that their one and only concern is for a long, cushy, corrupt career with great health insurance and retirement bennies at yours and mine expense, not the general welfare of citizens they represent. Tancredo is one of the very few who still stands for an honest to gosh sovereign America and how much influence does he have? Are there any real leaders left in this nation? Are Americans capable of finding them?

Until voters realize that the 'letter' after the name doesn't necessarily give them the desired result, We will continue to get cloned politicians who are absorbed into the Beltway monotony. Our *Representative Republic* is no more.

Bush is not misspeaking. He has lost touch as have a lot of Republicans with our more conservative members of the electorate - I being one of those rare individuals. Bush has slipped, he has never thought about shutting down the border, or he would have done so by now.

If anyone thinks Senior Bush would support us has not watched the man closely. The rats are leaving the ship.

dear, have you seen my life preserver.
