At least we know where the Democrats stand on border security and national sovereignty - they have no use for either.
President Barack Obama's Democratic allies in the Senate have repelled a move by presidential rival John McCain to send an additional 6,000 National Guard troops to the U.S-Mexico border.
The Arizona Republican says the security situation along the order has deteriorated so badly that 3,000 guard troops are needed just to help protect his state. But McCain failed to muster the required 60 votes for his plan as the Senate continued debate on an a war funding bill.
Obama on Tuesday promised to send 1,200 Guard troops to the border to support efforts to block drug trafficking and temporarily supplement Border Patrol agents until more agents can be trained.
Oh, those 1200 NG troops being sent to the border have their hands tied, most will be doing admin tasks and some construction tasks. Its kabuki theater nothing more.

And Bush also went against his own party on protecting the border and amnesty as well.
But that's a globalist for ya, sell out national sovereignty at the drop of a hat.

McAmnesty knew this before he even tried, it's an election stunt. I'm voting for JD Hayworth, fucker.

hmmmm. I wonder if JD Hayworth was offered "something of value" to drop out of the primary race with McCain. ;D
