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.
IMO Perry is little better than Romney. Slick. Disingenuous. And not (very) conservative, or at seems to play at being one when he needs to. Did you see that letter he wrote to Hitlery about Hitlery Care??
Gack.
What’s is his objection to stimulating the ladder business? Or doesn’t he have any friends or donors in that line of work?
Seriously, there are real problems with Perry. He’s talking like a conservative now on most issues, but so did McCain last fall. Talk means nothing. Just look at his record. If Perry ever got into the White House, he would immediately move back left like all the other insiders.
I heard him say the same thing on levins show the other night.I called BULLFEATHERS then and I do now as well.We put a man on the moon we can build a damn fence all the way to tembuctoo if we have the will and WE do have the will.

Any fence that can keep Mexicans out can be used to keep Americans in.
Please remember the Soviet Union and their border fences. We have a communist literally occupying the White House. You trust him or any one in the Democrat-Commie Party? I don't!
