Oh look, Lew Rockwell’s head exploded! Strange how it didn’t make a mess, huh ?
Go Herman!!
He won't back down on subsidizing illegals!.....and the people are FED UP!
I agree and support Perry on this...He defended the attack well.
Try governing a state on the Mexican border and then let everyone know what you would do...Like Santorum yapping about an issue he hasn’t dealt with for 10 yrs!
Love Herman Cain on Israel.
BS
Awesome Cain answer: “If you mess with Israel, you’re messin’ with the United States.”
Really? Ron Paul agrees with Perry on the stupidity of a Fence. Boots on the Ground. Or maybe someone can explain to me how a fence fights C4 and destruction of said walls in the desserted parts of west texas.
The fact that Mike Wallace lied about the tuition issue does not make it Perry’s fault.
In a river.
Ever seen Falcon or Amistad Reservoir? How do you build a fence across a lake?
I agree.
I like him more and more.
and did you see the list of obstacles?
please read the list, and note that the burden is on Mexico.
It is not the same dynamic.
Gee someone just had to bring up W. They may walk the sam. They both ARE ‘MEN’. Other then that they are nothing alike.
Cain has been consistently good, with straight and direct answers.
perry...let’s make friends with pakki stan? WHAT????
Here’s your 50 cents.
Thank you for that answer. I do disagree about the in state tuition given there are many U.S. citizens who are more deserving of tuition discounts, IMO. But Perry has no control over the lack of federal support for border enforcement. Poor Jan Brewer has fought that battle too.
Excellant response!
Agree.
Perry has dealt with the border for 10 years...No one else on that platform has!
