Obviously, my being a Christian minister, I believe in the change that comes with conversion, new birth. But, I also believe in giving people a shot at changing behavior. It can be done. Perry seems to be showing a change in what he believes about the border.
What is significant in Texas is that he is not the one who will enforce it. That will be the new governor, probably Abbott, who talks about the NG detaining, even arresting people. (I assume the legal difficulties include both posse commitatus, and the prerogatives of the Border Patrol.) However, Abbott says they can detain, they can refer to Texas security, and they can filter out the cartel, criminal, gang, and terrorist elements. I don’t care who you are, that’s important.
So far as Perry’s next run for the presidency, there are lots of indications that Romney is trying to get back into this again. He has the money to do it.
As a former bushbot, I would GLADLY take the fault-prone GW Bush over Romney, Christie, any day of the week. That means I’d take Perry.
I would like Cruz. But, ‘you can’t always get what you want..”
That's circular firing squad stuff, and one of the many reasons we are perpetual losers.
Cruz is my first choice, we need to do better in the way we further good candidates.
