Thanks for confirming what I had heard...
No fence on A RIVER.
Newt continues to demonstrate an understanding about world affairs and national security that the others on the panel won’t achieve for years.

Might be. Santorum is out of his league with the others tonight. He sounds like a whiney adolescent.
Great point and true.
Ugh.... is Gary Johnson gay??
Guess where perry went with his friend aga khan.......
This thread looks like it has some great topics to start threads with to debate after this debate.
A bridge is not a fence. Boats go under the bridge every day.
It is not “free”, they pay in-state tuition rates.
“Gee someone just had to bring up W. They may walk the sam. They both ARE ‘MEN’. Other then that they are nothing alike.”
Both were cheerleaders. Both were Texas governors. Both are RINOs and worthless on illegal immigration. Both flew planes in the military.
There are many similarities.
“Time for Sarah to enter this race.”
... and a half dozen or so of these people to drop out.
Perry’s Texas is a far better place to live than Scott’s Florida.
My income and quality of life is so much better here than in Florida, although I do miss the Gulf Coast beaches.
Florida from 1998-2007; Texas 2007-present.
More jobs, more opportunities, bigger better houses...
Seriously, what do you expect the kids of illegals to do after they’ve lived in Texas for years? Just like any other kids, they learn to call Texas ‘home’...so do you really expect them to graduate high school or turn 18 and take themselves back from where they came??
Sound byte solutions don’t work for real life problems.
They do at SDan Ysidro (where Duncan Hunter got his fence built)
They are losing control. Bachman buts in and now someone else is yapping
Because Bachmann has been fading away with her statements of the last couple of weeks.
Her star IMO is fading.
D... Technology. We can do any damn thing we WANT to.
