Why don’t we just bring the troops home from overseas and let them police the border? We need to get the hell out of the ME and every other place on the planet. And kick the U.N. out of the U.S. We need to start looking out for #1.
Perry thinks the polls that show him way out in front are real...LOL
He believes the MSM headlines to the point that he thinks he can start moving to the middle.
Boy is he in for a rude awakening when Sarah gets in the race.
I suspect he will start to feel her presence even before she is in...like by this Tuesday
And I say to You aree a RINO. He will never get the Tea Party vote with that position. Ergo, he’s unelectable as a Pubbie RINO. Perrybots need a serious reality check. This isn’t rocket science nor clever posturing. It’s a fact. Anyone who claims to be a Tea Partier and buys into Perry’s BS is either lying about being conservative or is not Tea Party material in the first place.
It is truly funny how people act like this is the first time they’ve heard Perry say this. He’s been a RINO all along and people believe he’s all of a suddent going to change now?
Michele Bachmann is our only true conservative running. Too bad so many Republicans can’t get past the fact she’s a woman.
Told ya.
"Don't worry Perry. Just get a couple pics taken of you clearing out brush on a ranch and the Daily Dose folks will swoon and cover for your amnesty schnanigans."
Looks like ole Ricardo Perrito is keeping his options open for a potential Obama/Perry 2012 ticket...
Protecting the states from invasion is one of the primary duties of the office.
If he won’t keep his oath to protect the life, liberty and property of the American people, he’s disqualified himself right out of the gate.
Republican presidential candidate Rick Perry says he opposes a fence along the U.S. border with Mexico.
Speaking to hundreds of New Hampshire voters at a private reception Saturday afternoon, the Texas governor says a fence would be ineffective and take too long to build.
The comments, which produced one angry shout, expose a rift with some conservative voters over Perry's immigration record. Tea party activists in Texas have been particularly upset by his steady opposition to the fence. He also signed a law giving illegal immigrants in-state tuition for Texas universities.
. . . . Remember, if we tell the truth about Perry, (or any candidate) we will be labeled trolls, or RINOs by certain groups of freepers.
“Rick Perry says he opposes a fence along the U.S. border with Mexico.”
SharpRightTurn says he opposes another open-border Republican nominee.
Get lost, Gov. GoodHair.
We don’t need you.
I’ll believe that fences don’t work when they remove the one around the White House.
New Hampshire ought to focus on building a fence on its border with Massachusetts.
Maybe landmines, too
He's right, of course and anyone who gives this subject more than just a knee-jerk thought will understand why. A fence is a stupid idea. It would cost billions of dollars to build something that could be defeated by ladders, snips and, at most, a battery-powered sawzall.
I've seen the fences along Arizona and California. They're jokes. In some places they're only chain-link. Think a fence is going to stop illegals? Sure, maybe if you build it two hundred feet high, fifty feet wide and have it patrolled by armed guards, alligators, grizzly bears and laser beams. Really think it's going to look like that? Building a fence is nothing more than a "feel-good" response to a very complex issue. Perry understands this and I'll give him props for speaking honestly as opposed to spouting "I'll build the biggest darned fence ever!!!" nonsense just to please voters.
While I agree with Perry that a fence in and of itself would be a waste of time, money and effort; in conjunction with other measures, it would be useful.
B.F.L.
Funny how both the Romans and the Chinese were able to build walls and defend their boarders, yet it is not technically feasible for us.
Perry is a traitor to the nation, not fit for dog catcher, much less POTUS.
Huge problem for Perry. Huge problem for me.
>It would be totally useless.
Tell that to Israel.
