The Open Borders Democratic leaders pull border funds from defense spending bill and endanger military families. By Mike Moseley 11-8-07 What is it about Democratic Senators Harry Reid (NE) and Dick Durbin (IL) and House speaker Nancy Pelosi (CA) that makes you want to just clean house in Washington. If ever their was a time that the Democratic party should change direction to more main stream America, it is now. The absolute failure of Democrat leadership is stunning to see, literally day after day. Two of the most important legislations that would protect America at home and in the war on terror have been blocked by Democrat leaders.
The Senate voted 95-1 on Oct. 3 to include Republican Sen. Lindsay Graham’s border-security
measure in a broader bill providing $648 billion to the Pentagon,
including $196 billion for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. The Senate
passed the overall defense spending bill by a 92-3 vote later the same
day. In a show of great bi-partisan support of border security and the recent military successes the Democrats have rejected both of America's most important legislation.
Sen. Lindsey Graham, a Republican from South Carolina,
said Tuesday that Democrats had stripped from a defense spending bill a
$3 billion border-security amendment that the Senate passed
overwhelmingly last month.
Graham said Democrats also attached conditions to the Iraq war
funding, leading all Republican senators on a conference committee to
refuse to sign the panel’s report.
“I’m incredibly disappointed,” Graham said in an interview.
“Congress would serve itself well if we funded border security as my
amendment proposes, and it would help us move the immigration debate
further down the road.”
The Democrats plan to give Illegal aliens and their families citizenship, jobs, and welfare have been clear to all since the "Dream Act" fiasco.
Not only is the Democratic party attempting to circumvent the absolute will of the American voter on border security but senators Reid, Durbin and House speaker Pelosi are grasping for defeat on the battlefield that is Iraq at the same time. The Democrat leadership is stuck in the 1970's and can't get out. Today's New York Times explains:
American forces have routed Al Qaeda in Mesopotamia, the
Iraqi militant network, from every neighborhood of Baghdad, a top
American general said today, allowing American troops involved in the
“surge” to depart as planned.
Maj. Gen. Joseph F. Fil Jr., commander of United States forces in
Baghdad, also said that American troops had yet to clear some 13
percent of the city, including Sadr City and several other areas
controlled by Shiite militias. But, he said, “there’s just no question”
that violence had declined since a spike in June.
“Murder victims are down 80 percent from where they were at the
peak,” and attacks involving improvised bombs are down 70 percent, he
said.
As total victory is within the grasp of Iraq and American forces:
(AP) - Speaker Nancy Pelosi says the House will vote as
early as Friday on legislation that would pay $50 billion for the war
in Iraq but require that President Bush start bringing troops home.
The money is about a quarter of the $196 billion requested by Bush.
It would finance about four months of combat in Iraq, Pelosi told
reporters on Thursday.
“There will be no blank check for the president,” she said at a Capitol Hill news conference.
The bill would set the requirement that troop withdrawals begin immediately.
The measure also sets a goal that combat end by December
2008. After that, troops left behind should be restricted to a narrow
sets of missions, namely counterterrorism, training Iraqi security
forces and protecting U.S. assets.
Bush rejected a similar measure in May, and Democrats lacked the votes to override the veto.
Can you imagine a more dangerous situation than defeat in Iraq, terrorist victory, no borders security, and the possible give away of American sovereignty. America can't stand leadership like this! Clearly, the Democrat party is an enemy to every American.
As a citizen of the United States of America, I publicly call on law enforcement to put these three complete morons behind bars before they give China nuclear hardware and technology. Give the Chinese military 77 supercomputers that design nuclear weapons along with satellite technology . Give communist North Korea nuclear reactors. But these things have already been done by Democrat President Bill Clinton. It is inconceivable that the Democrat party could possibly have any credibility with leadership like this.
