In Iowa, Perry finds voters are like those in Texas

Can we at least please scrap the opposition to a border fence in Texas as being somehow RINO? I hate what illegals are doing but I don't want to fence the Texas border ceding the Rio Grande to the Mexicans. It might work in Arizona but not in Texas.

Well, the reasons given to oppose the border fence, other than asthetic and property rights ones, are right out of the La Raza handbook.

When I see comments about digging under a fence negating its usefulness (not from you), I see someone who is not serious about the border security discussion. The fence is not the only answer - but it is a big part of any overall answer. If a ranch needs their cattle to be able to reach the Rio Grande for water, then design the fence with access points for cattle that are monitored to make sure the two-footed are not coming in the other way. Cattle are smart enought to learn about an water access point 2-3 miles away from their grazing range. Imagine what the Rangers Perry has put on border duty could do with choke points every 3-5 miles along the fence.

other BIG PHARMA forces upon people... Has the tyrant LEARNED?... the government force its control down our throats?

You really couldn't be more disingenuous if you tried. I know you know better because I've seen you on every other Perry thread spouting off about Gardisil order.

The VACCINE WAS ALWAYS OPT-OUT for parents.

Giving parents an ability to easily opt-out with no penalty—specifically in his executive order—is NOT "tyranny," it's NOT "force," it's NOT "control" to any rational, reasonable person.

You hold a ludicrously paranoid position that fails on the basic facts.

The Texas and the U.S. border reaches to the middle of the Rio Grande. If, IF, we build a fence, build it on their side and tell them to do something about it. If we're not willing to go that far then build the fence in New Mexico and Arizona, then militarize the Texas border if that is what it takes but the Rio Grande is ours in my opinion.

Well, I think we could build some kind of fence that addresses the fair issues raised about it - other than the La Raza-type issues. I don’t see the solution as building it in Mexico - build it on the Texas side with sensitity to ranching where needed.

I can't cede the river to the Mexicans and that's what you'd be doing. “It's my river!” (think Braveheart)

You are not truthful again.
The vaccine — imposed by the tyrant RINO Perry
was NOT always OPT OUT.
IT WAS MANDATED.

You are not truthful again.

The vaccine — imposed by the tyrant RINO Perry
was for 6 and 7th graders who do not get cervical
cancer and are not sexually promiscuous.

I’m sorry, the ability to water some cattle is secondary to securing the border. Both can be accomodated.

Aren’s these conservative Iowans only in the Steve King House district and absent from the rest of that liberal state.
