Remember in the waining days of the 2006 elections when Bush was so desperately trying to appeal to his base and people were screaming to close the borders to block that route so terrorists couldn't just walk into this country?

How is that border fence along the entire border coming along. They done yet?

Or was it just another last minuit desperate promise made by a sinking Republican?

It was a diversionary tactic and it didn't work. Dems were overwhelmingly elected to the Senate and House.

Fast-forward to 2008. GWB doesn't have enough pull with even the GOP base to help and McCain's attempts at diverting attention from the issues and problems has fallen flat. 2006 all over again????

Here ya go:

Fence completed as of August 13, 2008:

• 184.2 miles of pedestrian fence
• 153.8 miles of vehicle fence

Proposed fence to be completed by December 31, 2008:

• 370 miles of pedestrian fence
• 300 miles of vehicle fence

The fence works great where completed although behind schedule. Liberals and lawyers have been bogging construction down.

Running to appease the base..Palin is McCain's Border fence..Empty hopes, empty ambitions, incomplete corrupt promises.

Nothings changed.

You think Bush will let to Obama's in to measure for curtians in the Whitehouse?

so all they have managed with all of their empty promises to their Base and the country is to rebuild a small portions of the already existing fence which was falling down and tunneled through. Bush and the Republicans were harping how a fence was going to be built along the entire border. To put a halt to the influx of terrorists coming across our borders. Bush even signed some glamorous bill stating such.

Were these just more Republicans empty promises?

Sure do!

This ones my favorite!

Really is that right? Here's a list of alternate energy bills, most introduced right after the Democrats took over congress in 2007.

You know why they couldn't do it? Because they were going to hack up people's land here in Texas. Farmers were going to have their cattle separated from grazing land by these nutso Republicans. But, because of the homestead act in Texas (the ONLY good thing I think they have done here), the Repubs couldn't just come in and take the land by Federal order.

Again, not thinking. Lets use national security as an excuse to run roughshod over people's liberties. All with rhetoric of protection... sounds like ye ol Caesars are back to play.

Bush never proposed a complete fence along the entire border. It was a combination of cameras, more border control, fences, etc. Show me a quote where Bush ever said he would implement a fence along the entire border. The fence they are working on is the fence bill that Bush signed into law, but Congress keeps attacking the funding for.

You just make stuff up.

Wait wait. Are you saying that people who lost aren't keeping their campaign promises? In case you didn't notice the house and senate went Democrat in 2006.
