Understood...yet both of my senators from Texas ignored the will of the people.

Frustrating isn't it? My lone Republican Senator, Allard, also climbed into the gutter voting to let the Mexican trucks in. But still, we won.

And here's the interesting part; this will, in effect, kill the TTC/NAFTA Superhighway project. After all, what good is a brand new smuggling corridor right through the center of our country if the smugglers aren't allowed to use it?

I heard on the radio this morning that Bush has threatened to veto the transportation bill if it shows up with the Dorgan Amendment attached. This should be interesting.

Visualize this: They remind me of serpents in a foggy stinking gutter that are dragging the entire party into the sewer.....

We need to make some changes; we need to elect Americans. No more globalists!

Absolutely.......Robert Frost had it right, "good fences make good neighbors."

MENDING WALL Robert Frost

Something there is that doesn't love a wall,

That sends the frozen-ground-swell under it,

And spills the upper boulders in the sun,

And makes gaps even two can pass abreast.

The work of hunters is another thing:

I have come after them and made repair

Where they have left not one stone on a stone,

But they would have the rabbit out of hiding,

To please the yelping dogs. The gaps I mean,

No one has seen them made or heard them made,

But at spring mending-time we find them there.

I let my neighbor know beyond the hill;

And on a day we meet to walk the line

And set the wall between us once again.

We keep the wall between us as we go.

To each the boulders that have fallen to each.

And some are loaves and some so nearly balls

We have to use a spell to make them balance:

'Stay where you are until our backs are turned!'

We wear our fingers rough with handling them.

Oh, just another kind of out-door game,

One on a side. It comes to little more:

There where it is we do not need the wall:

He is all pine and I am apple orchard.

My apple trees will never get across

And eat the cones under his pines, I tell him.

He only says, 'Good fences make good neighbors'.

Spring is the mischief in me, and I wonder

If I could put a notion in his head:

'Why do they make good neighbors? Isn't it

Where there are cows?

But here there are no cows.

Before I built a wall I'd ask to know

What I was walling in or walling out,

And to whom I was like to give offence.

Something there is that doesn't love a wall,

That wants it down.' I could say 'Elves' to him,

But it's not elves exactly, and I'd rather

He said it for himself. I see him there

Bringing a stone grasped firmly by the top

In each hand, like an old-stone savage armed.

He moves in darkness as it seems to me~

Not of woods only and the shade of trees.

He will not go behind his father's saying,

And he likes having thought of it so well

He says again, "Good fences make good neighbors."

I would be LIVID. Sometimes I wonder why I even register with & vote for Republicans anymore.
