I do not understand the GOP reluctance to embrace the fence, border security, and the illegal alien issue. It is a huge winner among the GOP base and all but the most rabid, anti-American liberal. All it would take is for one attack to take place like this and that wall would be up post-haste and any politician who had equivocated or been against it would face the end of his career.

The Council wants their community, no matter what it cost us citizens.

I don't like it, but it makes perfect sense to me.

The GOP doesn't want to publicly take the position that President Bush has been, at best, neglectful of American security.

If Bush was at all interested in sealing the border, or if we had a Democrat in the White House, the GOP would be all over this.

Weak-kneed sissies afraid of everything and desperate to hold their seat of power. That is their reluctance. We elect spineless weak people and this is what we get.
