Republicans Ignoring Immigration Issue

Why is it that Democrats are speaking out on illegal immigration and not the Republicans. Isn't it a Republican issue?:
The tough border security message is carried mostly by Democrats in the South and the Midwest, where a surge of Hispanic immigration is transforming small towns and cities. In such communities, some candidates are deriding legalization as amnesty, proclaiming border security as their priority or criticizing Republican challengers as failing to stem the tide of illegal immigration.

Only 34% of Americans support war -- a new low:
A poll conducted for CNN over the weekend suggests support among Americans for the war in Iraq is dwindling to an all-time low. Just 34 percent of those polled say they support the war, while 64 percent say they oppose it.

What's Bush's response to these poor poll numbers: stay the losing course:
President Bush told Iraq's prime minister on Monday he has no plans to pull U.S. forces out of the war-torn country, in a conversation that underscored Iraqi worries that the president is being pressured to curtail America's role in the widely unpopular war.

China could stop North Korea's recklessness if they wanted to. The Koreans are totally dependant upon on the Chinese for their survival:
Customs officials examined trucks at the North Korean border Monday as China complied with new U.N. sanctions on Pyongyang for its nuclear test. But China's U.N. ambassador indicated its inspectors will not board ships to search for suspicious equipment or material.

Maybe Democrats should be counting on the Foley scandal for their chances in the fall, especially with 3 weeks to go:
Only about a quarter of Americans say the scandal over former Rep. Mark Foley will be "extremely important" in how they vote in November's congressional elections, according to a CNN poll released Tuesday.

The Press isn't too interested in scandals involving Democratic with the election coming soon:
The news that Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) failed to disclose a land deal that earned him $700,000 -- three years after he sold the land to a friend's company -- isn't "sexy" enough for front page news, according to one political analyst.

I hope al Qaeda isn't listening:
Security has been so lax at a government-run nuclear weapons facility that investigators from a private watchdog group were able to loiter unchallenged in front of the laboratory last fall, the Project on Government Oversight said on Monday.

And probably the terrorists are preparing for an attack on plant over the Internet:
Disaffected people living in the United States may develop radical ideologies and potentially violent skills over the Internet and that could present the next major U.S. security threat, U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff said on Monday.
