Democrats appear to have no fear about terrorists coming to America, in fact they think it is a non-issue that only some in Washington, DC care about.
Republicans fail to stop Gitmo transfers into US
Democratic leaders had to push hard to win the vote because many Democrats two weeks ago had cast a nonbinding but politically safe vote against any Guantanamo detainee transfers. But several Democrats from swing districts said they saw little political risk on Thursday's vote.
"It's a nonissue. Inside the (Washington) Beltway stuff," said first-term Rep. Dan Maffei, D-N.Y. "People care about jobs, the economy, health care."
"I haven't had one person ask me about Guantanamo," said Rep. Baron Hill, D-Ind. He added that he does "not in the least" fear it as an issue in next year's elections.
I don't believe that closing Gitmo and bringing prisoners here is a "non issue". They are not just enemy combatants, they are terrorists and are dangerous as well as not entitled to constitutional rights here in America.
This will be an issue in the next election.
