We are nearly 500 days away from Election Day but last Thursday we got a good look at what the Democrats will be running on: opening borders, ignoring terrorists, raising taxes and counting by race.

The cloture vote on immigration reform last Thursday revealed that each and every Democratic Senator running for President favored the Bush immigration reform plan. However they dress it up and however they explain their votes a year from now we have recorded votes from Hillary Clinton, Barak Obama, Joe Biden and Chris Dodd in favor of granting immediate legal status to 12-20 million illegal aliens with only the flimsiest and most unrealistic plan for border enforcement. Unless John McCain rises from the political grave, the Republican nominee will be assured of a powerful issue on which the vast majority of the American people agree with him and strongly oppose the Bush plan endorsed by the Democratic Gang of 4.

Thursday was also memorable for yet another Democratic candidate debate in which no mention was made of terrorism or Islamic fundamentalism. Apparently having convinced themselves that talk of terrorist threats is passé, not a single candidate thought to raise the issue. Perhaps convinced that Americans have “moved on” from 9-11 or are indifferent to domestic terror plots like JFK Airport or Fort Dix, they see no reason to demonstrate their determination to protect Americans. It is simply not their issue.
