You are quite correct.
There is no one on the national political landscape who has a conservative border plan.
NO ONE.
Sadly, the border issue is not going to even be addressed in 2012.
Will the border issue destroy America? Damn right it will. But not immediately. We have maybe 8 years or so.
But the problem is that obama is doing much more short term damage to the country. 2014 is the deadline for getting rid of obamacare.
We have to prioritize among emergencies...and ousting obama is the first order of business, then trying to immediately undo what he has done: 1) obamacare, and 2) Dodd Frank.
Everything after that is great...including addressing the border. But that is not realistically on the agenda for the foreseeable future, because the GOP and the Democrats are basically in agreement that the country doesn’t want a border. Moreover, there is a substantial portion of the country - perhaps even a majority - who also believe the border should be non-existent.
The border is like AIDS. It is fatal. But it is not as rapidly fatal as obamacare. obamacare is like advanced brain, lung and liver cancer. We are dead much sooner if we don’t repeal it.
(And even if Palin is the “best” on the border [maybe, maybe not], it is not obvious that she is running...we’ll see what October brings, but it is still very much a question mark, and we can’t forget how many of us were lectured and hectored that it would obviously be August, then obviously be September since that is what she said....and September is winding down....)
We live in treacherous times and it seems like the left is using the chaos to steadily advance.
The border problem is this countries MAIN ISSUE! It must be addressed....otherwise no candidate will change this country around.
