Hey Governor: why is it that “There’s only so much that a state can do?"

when the federal govt says this: “The bottom line is we know how to stop it and it’s not going to spread widely in the U.S.,” Center for Disease Control Dr. Thomas Frieden said Sunday.

IT IS NOT BELIEVABLE.

Governor, you were hired to protect the citizens of this state. I suggest you begin NOW. You can seal the borders if you want to. I also suggest airports. You have the power. If the feds interfere, there are a 100k armed Texans who will have the back of state officers.

Perry has done more to stop Ebola than Obama, the CDC and the rest of the idiots at Fedzilla.

God Bless Rick Perry.

Grandstanding...but still a heck of a lot more than what Øbola is doing.

I saw this guy on Fox this morning, and he looks and acts like a bureaucrat spouting the party line and in lock step with his master, Baraq.

Are you willing to bet YOUR life and the lives of your family that this guy is telling the truth, or really even has a clue?

Can’t have Mexico become angry at the political class, don’t you know. No one in the power seat cares what happens as long as they come out looking non damaged politically. I will be so glad when the revolt begins and people move from their comfort zones. The ballot box is rigged. The aristocrats are dividing the people and conquering more control. Everything comes back to believers and non believers. Something should had been done long ago with the open borders situation and the powerful leaders should have helped to educate the poor nations from these horrific diseases before this became such a loss of many lives. And, the liberals boast they are the righteous. Give me a break.

They keep saying they can control it by taking temps before flying.

That is BULL.

Many cases in Africa and the Dallas case show that even AFTER the victim is actually sick with fever AND vomiting and diarrhea - the initial tests show negative...and they are sent home with an antibiotic.

It seems only when the ebola is full blown and the patient debilitated, that the tests come in positive.

Add to that they are doing little to nothing to quarantine people who have been exposed - not even keeping track of them!

PERRY ECHOES OBAMA: NO TRAVEL RESTRICTIONS FROM EBOLA NATIONS

http://www.breitbart.com/Breitbart-Texas/2014/10/06/Perry-Echoes-Obama-No-Travel-Restrictions-from-Ebola-Nations

From the article....

...Where Perry announced the creation of a new task force to combat deadly viruses, the governor refused to accept that a travel ban would be in the best interest of the United States. Rather, he advocated for various screening methods.

Perry argued that travelers should have their temperatures taken, and advocated for “staffing quarantine stations” at points of entry.


Never mind that these Ebola folks are taking Advil to reduce their fever and lying on their departure forms, Gov Perry.

Perry talks a good game, but what has he done to stop the illegals?

With close to 4,000 documented cases of Ebola worldwide recorded as of this weekend, according to the CDC

Where is MSNBC Getting their numbers? Even the recent (and admitted grossly undercounted) October 3rd Roadmap Situation Report is twice their numbers.

Their parroting of the government crisis messaging is getting old.
