Are Ya Fer It, Or Agin it?

Oh George, you've done it again. You went and signed a bill TODAY - just before the midterm elections, authorizing 700 miles of new fencing along the U.S.-Mexico border. Amd leaves roughly 1400 miles without a fence. Hey, if you're going to do it badly, do it right!

It would be quite a fence, though. Let's put this into perspective. A 700 mile fence is the equivalent in distance from New York to Chicago! In his trademarked repeitive style, Bush said, “We have a responsibility to enforce our laws. We have a responsibility to secure our borders. We take this responsibility serious.”

(Should be "seriously", but, then again, it's George W. Bush, President and Wordmeister. The Dr. Seuss of political speak.)

The measure Bush put into law Thursday before heading for campaign stops in Iowa and Michigan offers no money for the fence project covering one-third of the 2,100-mile border. The remaining two-thirds would be wide open. Yea! That'll keep those illegal immigrants from coming into the country from THAT part of the border.

Hey, George, do the words "Berlin Wall" mean anything to you? Oh, how about "The Great Wall of China." Both failures.

Oh, I forgot, you do fail at everything you do - even trying to influence elections with stupid, made up projects with no budget.

Sens. John Cornyn and Kay Bailey Hutchison, both Texas Republicans, had wanted to amend the fence bill to give local governments more say about where fencing is erected. They lost that battle, but Republican leaders assured them the Homeland Security Department would have flexibility to choose other options instead of fencing, if needed. Like, maybe, a great big ass moat!

Cornyn said he voted for the fence because he wanted to help demonstrate that Congress was serious about border security.

“The choice we were presented was: Are we going to vote to enhance border security, or against it?” Cornyn said. “I think that’s how the vote was viewed.”

Fer it, or agin it?

Sound familiar?
