ADVERTISEMENT "There are 3 million people every year coming across our borders illegally. We don't know who they are; we don't know what their intentions are. We absolutely must address it," said Frist, R-Tenn. "I hope by Friday that we will have a bill on the floor that is comprehensive." news.yahoo.com

"Does that mean replacing incompetence is wrong?" No. Expecting it in elected officials is idealistic. In the bureaucracy, that is a different issue because the checks and balances mean the merely incompetent are contained. But for the elected officials, it assumes the electorate is aware enough to minimize the damage. That is an idealistic assumption. For the left or the right. Assuming a binary choice is the only one... Politics have changed since I was young, much less you. What is right isn't the issue. Or even good for the country, as in the 1950s. It has degenerated to the point that what is good for a small group is the measure of importance.
