Sue Myrick gets it
I heard a radio ad on the way into work today. Sue Myrick (R-NC9) gets it. I can't find the text of the ad, but it general goes something like this:
Radical muslim jihadists want to kill us. And they are coming across our southern border. I want to stop them. I want to add guards to the southern border and I voted for a border fence.
She gets it, she really does.
Keep in mind when you vote next week, this IS the Republican Congress. Sure, Bush has some serious problems with the border and immigration, but he's not up for election, the Congress is. Vote Republican if you support Sue's position. Vote Democrat if you oppose it.

A nation is like a family. Those who are most likely to harm you already live here.
Again, a politician is pandering to the public's fear of screaming idiots from overseas.

It's not really pandering when those fears are realistic.

Violent crime committed against individual Americans by other Americans does not seriously threaten the interests of wealthy, powerful people in spite of the fact that our national murder rate is between five and six 9/11's every year.
Acts of terrorism do threaten wealthy powerful people and serve as a vehicle to unify voters and focus their attention on a perceived, common threat. Foreign terrorists are not a minor problem, but your children are far more likely to be killed by a family member, neighbor, or classmate.
Guess which threat receives the most attention today.

Guess no one who died in NYC or the Pentagon were "wealthy, powerful people."

I'm sorry, but fear of people who are honestly working their entire life to kill me is a very rational fear.
