re: border security.

I cringe every time I see that Perry ad — that he called on Obama to secure the border, and when Obama didn’t, he called in the NG. If elected, he would secure the border.

Perry just doesn’t have much credibility on that subject. He went into a tirade at the debates in 2012 about heartless people not having compassion for illegals.

Nearly every contender since 2008 has latched on the ‘secure the border’ canard.

Trustworthiness is not just an issue on the Dem side. Many of the Pubbie contenders have the same problem.

Trust Perry with border issues?

Trust Rubio with border issues?

Trust JBush with border issues?

Trust Huckabee with border issues?

etc.

Many of them have a history of supporting illegals over citizens.

Perry deserves that crack Trump made about him wearing glasses to look smart. I haven't heard much about Perry's decisive success in securing the Tex-Mex border until he became a born-again candidate.
