#2 I can only suppose that some of our politicians really, really want to be voted out of office with all possible haste. So be it.

#5 You CAN'T vote them out of office - vote out the Donk and you get an interchangable Trunk, and v.v.
Third party? Forget about it - who's counting the votes?

#6 Oh, they can be forced out. Either at the ballot box or by gunpoint. Whichever they choose.

Bush needs to look at the Rasmussen poll and ask himself if he really wants to keep the wallets of RNC donors closed.

Secure the damn border first, Georgie.

Primary day is coming. Hagel is in trouble. Graham is next.

#8 "requiring that some $4 billion be spent on border security and workplace enforcement." When I did my morning stroll around the capital two full buses pulled up and began disgorging pasengers all wearing UFW and LaRaza t-shirts and carrying immigration signs. It just made me ill to see. We are doomed if we don't get a handle on this and I mean as a nation and not a state.

#9 "...$4 billion be spent on border security..."

Before you suck this ball of chum off the river bottom you may want to ask the question; Is this dedicated money or more of that vapor-funding. Ya know, just like the stuff that built the vapor-fence? UhYeah...thought so.

#10 Bush to Lock Funds for Border Security
Money Shot:
The White House did not have an estimate of how much money the provision would generate yearly toward border security. It also could not say whether the money would be in addition to currently planned border security funding levels or just a way to dedicate funds to that purpose. And it wasn't clear what budget account would be drawn down to pay for the initial $4.4 billion.
