I've been saying all along that the fence is priority one for the Republicans. Between that and some actual fiscal restraint, the poll numbers would likely jump up quickly. I agree, Black Jack.

He asked for $92 billion to support the troops in Afghanistan and Iraq. The House passed the necessary legislation, but the Senate loaded it up with porky earmarks, and boosted the price tag to $109 billion. That's unacceptable. If GWB shows some backbone and demonstrates a willingness to restrain gratuitous spending, the Conservatives will stand up and cheer. Next, GWB should announce that he supports a fence along the border with Mexico. He should explain that once the flood of illegals has been halted, we can then consider other measures. Opinions differ, and we need a national debate before we can reach a consensus, and we can't have real debate while millions of illegals march in the streets and mock our laws as thousands more invade our nation every day. If GWB would do those two things, the GOP would win the midterms in November and the general election in 2008. Victory is knocking on the GOP's door, and all that needs to be done is what any Administration worth it's salt would do anyway. It's a no-brainer.
