Wonderful. And I've been carrying this sig around for the last few months. Going to get rid of it later today.
I don't think you're going to see any of the GOP candidates really support a fence. They may look at their shoes and mumble some pretty words about controlling our borders, but the strategy is going to be to wait out the grassroots activists and hope they lose interest.
The GOP is up to it's neck in "looking the other way" as far as illegal immigration is concerned, and I don't see that changing anytime soon.
I don't think there's a particularly good chance of either the Republicans or the Democrats fielding a bona fide opponent of illegal immigration in 2008. Although I think the Democrats have a somewhat better chance of doing so; the political calculus favors it more on the Democratic side than the GOP.
It'll be interesting to see whether she-who-must-not-be-named decides to jump in front of the parade on this.
Do we have the engineering ability?? LOL thats funny. And he had to think about it?
Tell him to drive around the beltway and look at those multi million dollar fences we put in Virginia to keep the sound down for his constituents there. They are 30 feet high and run for miles and cost a ton of money. Damned right we have the engineering ability. What we need is some politicians with balls, Unfortunately the engineers cant supply those.
Allen is squishy...period.
Ping...
Very disturbing!
My support for Allen just dropped 70-percent.
I don't know who "Senator Allen Squishy" is, but it sounds like a good generic name for most of them. ;)
"Let’s assume we wanted to build the Great Wall of America, which can be done, it would take years and years. I’m watching the Woodrow Wilson Bridge being built here, which is a much more difficult task than building a wall. It’s not over a river." He's also a little shaky on his geography. What does he think the Rio Grande is, a lake?
"Let’s assume we wanted to build the Great Wall of America, which can be done, it would take years and years."
Not really. We just hire the company that built the Israeli wall.
Kiss my butt goodbye Allen. You're another border wussie.
Pretty lame.
Well, I'm now not calling them RINOS anymore...
They are officially "Brokeback Republicans"!
Not one of them seems to have a spine outside the honest-to-goodness Conservatives (Pence, Tancredo...)!
If some enterprising Conservative FReeper who has photoshop skills (Devolve, I'm looking at you!) could please 'shop some Cowboy Hats on the following pic...
Now about that pudding they serve at R(I)N(O)C HQ and La Hacienda Blanco....
