Because it is cost effective to do so. There are different levels and types of fencing for military installations based on the function of the base.
Did Santorum just say he thinks any kind of sexuality has no place in the military? I know what he means, but he didnt say what he meant.
Don’t waste your breath on the Perry-Haters.
Yep! She is an awesome debator, at least was in Alaska.
Of course all illegal aliens should be sent back to where ever they came from. If we let the everyone remain here (such as these people who by their action show they are willing to break laws) then the USA will no longer be USA. And we will become a Third World country.
Drat! FOX wussed out and didn’t ask RuPaul anything about foreign policy.
Since they won’t do it, I will.
“Congressman Paul, why do you hate Israel ? Why did you appear on Islamo-Nazi Iran’s state run television station nd criticize them ? Also, please explain, in a coherent fashion, why you think Iran deserves nuclear weapons.”
Take that, Wallace!
Perry didn’t a foreign policy question.
Ron Paul?
Santorum just did a Roy Hobbs to that baseball.
I’m giving Santorum several points on the DOMA question.
He got handed an obvious GOTCHA!, and dealt with it well.
She hit that question out of the park.
Now the queer in the military... barf. He should be discharged.
The Texas law makes no mention of illegal aliens or those applying for citizenship, which is done in their home country. We have 4 million intending legal aliens who have gone thru all of the background checks and physical exams and are awaiting their turn to enter this country overseas legally. Why should anyone who entered illegally get to the head of the line?
How did your elected representative vote on the issue?
So, no...it's not my fault.
If three million people were outside with shovels, ladders, ultralight aircraft, sling shot devices for drugs, we would all have to be border guards. How do you prevent packets of drugs from being launched over?
VERY good post, GRRRRR!
Probably because it is his 1st debate. His responses have been pretty good so far. As far as answering questions, the top 4 I have seen are Johnson, Cain, Newt, and Paul.
Ron Paul sounds less crazy and more coherent tonight.
“Don’t waste your breath on the Perry-Haters.”
God we wouldn’t want his excellency questioned...get over yourself. Perry can be a big boy and address the issues.
