With a communist dictator in North Korea and an Islamic fascist in Iran threatening the world with programs to build nuclear weapons, we do not need Senator Clinton's appeasement. She plays politics with our national security. She has opposed bunker busting bombs that would stop these nuclear threats. She has flip-flopped on border security.

Senator Clinton's desire to satisfy the radical anti-war left puts all of us at risk.

I won't play politics with our national security.

Bouchard Statement on Uncovered Terror Plot in Britain

Oakland County, MI -- Oakland County Sheriff and U.S. Senate candidate Michael Bouchard released a statement following the announcement that British authorities disrupted a terrorist plot to detonate bombs on multiple planes bound for the U.S.

“I commend the British authorities for uncovering this terrorist plot and saving hundreds of lives. After working at Ground Zero following 9-11, I joined with law enforcement officers across the country in recommending measures to strengthen airline security and our relationships with our allies to protect our freedoms.

“It's been nearly five years since terrorists struck the Pentagon and the World Trade Center and today's announcement shows our enemies remain relentless in their efforts to target us. We must stay ever vigilant against their threat. The war on terror is one we can't afford to lose our focus on

We must continue our commitment to security to protect innocent civilians and preserve our way of life.”

In politics, there are turning points that can define a political party for decades to come. Yesterday's defeat of Senator Joe Lieberman in the Democrat primary in Connecticut is such a moment. Because he stood for a strong national defense and victory in Iraq, Joe Lieberman was successfully targeted for defeat.

For a political party to reject a respected Senator who just six years ago was its candidate for Vice President is virtually without precedent. It speaks volumes about the new Democrat Party: if you stand for a strong defense and victory in the War on Terror, you have no place in the party and you must be purged.

Watch the video and get the facts about what this means about the decline of the Democrat Party - from leadership that would "pay any price, bear any burden" to defend freedom to leaders who want to cut and run from the War on Terror, and surrender other tools needed to keep America safe.

The message from Connecticut is clear, and Ned Lamont isn't alone. He is joined by Rep. John Murtha, architect of the Democrats' position on Iraq and the man who wants to be the next House Majority Leader, who claims America is more dangerous than Iran and North Korea and says, "We've become the enemy." And by Howard Dean, who calls the idea of victory in Iraq "just plain wrong." Watch how the new Democrat Party always chooses weakness over strength, blaming America first.

With 90 days to go before the election, National Democrat leaders have made their choice in favor of defeatism, isolationism, and blaming America first. Where do you stand?

The Bottom Line
Rep. Ted Poe (TX-02)

The debate over illegal immigration has turned into a typical political tug-of-war with every bit of common sense checked at the door and the Administration trying to appease both sides of the aisle. Leave it to bureaucrats to complicate a simple issue of right and wrong. It is illegal to enter our country without permission from the United States government no matter which way you try to sell it. Bottom line: it is it is illegal to be here illegally.

While not all people entering our country are from Mexico, quiet frankly I am tired of hearing Mexico’s President, Vicente Fox, weighing in on American law and policy. I think his country, and ours for that matter, would be much better served if he spent more time weighing in on Mexico’s problems. He is not an American citizen, he does not have any more say as to how we protect our country than do the millions living here illegally. The American people find this and most of the debate on illegal immigration complete nonsense.

Let’s start with the ridiculous notion of the ‘Catch and Release’ program. What happens is Border Agents arrest illegals for entering the country illegally, and then release them with an order to return for a deportation hearing. If the suspect in question knowingly broke the law by entering our country illegally, what makes anyone think that he would obey a court order to return? Even fisherman who coined the ‘Catch and Release’ phrase, tag their catch before releasing it. There is no reason that we should allow this to continue. There are several simple solutions to housing illegals, the best one is called jail. Jail is not supposed to be a luxury hotel, it is to serve as a deterrent for future illegal behavior. Tent cities will work for quick and swift deportation, as will the 10,000 FEMA trailers sitting in Arkansas.

Let’s be honest, this new guest worker program is not for “guest” workers, it is for “illegal” workers. We don’t need another program, we already have the most generous guest worker program in the world and it has done nothing to slow the tide of illegals entering our country. This new worker is being touted a as path way to citizenship for those who have established roots here. They will be expected to pay back taxes, learn English and get at the back of the line for citizenship. It begs the question, if they have been here so long and never made the effort to legitimize their status, what makes anyone think they care to become American citizens now? If they live in a cash economy, how do we know what their back taxes are? And what is going to happen to them if they don’t learn English, pay back taxes or become Americans? Nothing, and they know it. A worker program that leads to citizenship for illegal immigrants by any other name is amnesty and I will not support amnesty in any form.

The debate over illegal immigration has many facets, but we must not lose sight over the main issue. While the debate the social and moral implications of what to do with those already illegally here continues, we as a sovereign nation must secure our borders and insist on ending incentives for people to come to our country illegally. Businesses and individuals must be held accountable. Social services, including education, must be for American citizens. If people in our country illegally don’t have the rights and privileges of citizenship they will finally be forced to abide by our laws or return to their own country. That is just the way it is.

McKinney, Cynthia GA-4th

Cynthia posted a letter of regret for her assault on a Capital Hill Police officer. This is the same woman that wanted to spend Federal dollars, as well as wasting the people's time, to investigate the death of Tupac Shukar.

McDermott, Jim WA-7th

Jim lost his appeal for a 1999 ruling punishing him for traficking an illegally taped conversation of other House Representatives. One of the decisions handed down referred to Jim violating the privacy rights of a fellow Congressman.
