So, what do you think? Did coming out for military might on the border seal Senator Lott's fate, particularly after making that dumb arsed statement at Senator Thurmond's birthday bash?

I think Lott's statements supporting the use of the military on the borders was THE defining event that put him on the outs with Bush's Open Borders Cabal. Whether or not Lott would have pushed hard for this as SML is doubtful at best. It didn't matter though. The fact that Lott brought up an issue that underscores Bush's dereliction of duty as commander and chief was enough for Bush to put him in his Black Book.

IMO, Bush's vanity is nearing Bill Clinton levels. The Photo-Op Presidency is alive and well. A quick glance at the daily Dose threads on FR is ample evidence of this.

But will we keep the republic? As George Washington said.

Excellent post!

What do you think the primary reason is for the administration's adamant open-borders policy? Is it about securing cheap labor for companies that donate heavily to the GOP? Is it about attempting to buy votes? Is it about political correctness? Is it about some NWO fantasy? Whatever the reason, this (and past) administrations have thought open-borders to be important enough to actual risk a terrorist attack on our nations that could simultaneously destroy our economy and kill millions of citizens. One would think that watching a 747 fly directly over the WH and minutes later smash into the Pentagon would've set their priorites straight, but alas, their resolve to keep the status quo actually seems to have strenghened!
