Thread: Does George W. Bush Even Remember 9/11?

By John W. Lillpop

Seems a rather rude question, I admit. But think about it.

In the name of full disclosure, I confess to voting for George W. Bush in 2000.

To my discredit, I was unaware of his pro-illegal immigration position. I bought the ‘conservative’ label and just assumed that, if elected, President Bush would be reasonable on immigration.

If nothing else, I expected a Republican President from the deep south to enforce existing laws.

Wrong on both counts, as it turns out. Bush is neither reasonable on immigration nor has he even intended to enforce existing laws.

My mistake in voting for Bush was, or should have been, rendered moot by the events of 9/11. Indeed, who would imagine that our very own borders would remain unprotected nearly six full years after that awful day?

Who would imagine that America would send 150,000 troops to Iraq and Afghanistan, but leave our own borders open to anyone wishing to invade America, for whatever purpose? Including those dedicated to killing millions, of innocent Americans?

Who would imagine that the precious lives of more than 3,600 innocent Americans would be lost 8,000 miles from home--sacrifices that will be in vain if a terrorist(s) gains access to America via our unsecured border with Mexico?

Who would imagine that our commander-in-chief would spend $500 billion of taxpayer treasure to fight wars in the Middle East, while refusing to fill border patrol positions authorized by congress?

The deliberate and protracted neglect of border security and immigration enforcement leads one to an inescapable conclusion:

George W. Bush no longer even remembers the events of 9/11!

I think we all regret voting for this Traitor.

if we didn't vote for jorge we would have gotten kerry.... the countries other village idiot.

George Bush never looks back!

If he had he might have learned something from our past history.

I'm sorry I voted for him also.

LOL!
You are so right Lone Patriot!!!!!

I wish I could take my vote back, but as LP says, we would have been stuck with Mr. Ketchup man Kerry. I used to think that between mr. ketchup man, the global warming freak (Gore) and BOOSH, that Boosh was the lesser of the three evils.
Right now I'd say they are all the same.

How can anyone possibly say that our country is safe when SIX years after 9/11 our borders are still not secure?

Aside from the immigration dilema, this argument alone should be enough to wake people up. How can we possibly make our nation safe if we don't know who's coming and going?

I'm looking forward to ALIPAC's campaign to call for a congressional inquiry as to why and who is responsible for not securing our borders and enforcing our current immigration laws. Just waiting for the word and direction to take from William.
