Earlier Oct. 17, 2011: Cain apologizes for comments on border fence "It was a joke," Cain said emphatically. "I apologize if I offended anyone. Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea culpa."

Thank you for posting this.

Mr. CAIN cares about America.

RINO “Open Border” “Freebies for Mexicans” Perry not so much.

Hey Sarah, CBS, and the rest of you socialist-loving, skid mark supporting MSM scum... why don't you take a trip down to the Mexican border with Guatemala and report on the border defenses there. How about we emulate what they have there? Any problems with that?

Cain is the best of those we have running, but he’s still not ready for prime time.

You need to change Perry’s comments to “Snore”, “Snore”, “Snore”.

At least Herman Cain will come out with details. Most other politicians won’t.

How does he plan to run it on the Rio Grande? Our horse fence runs along a creek and between the flooding, fast growing weeds shorting it and burning through and the horses stamping around in the mud making the poles fall down it needs frequent fixing. And THAT’S only 10 acres!

It seems Bachmann didn’t find Herman’s joke too funny, either.

*snip*
But Bachmann wasn’t laughing.

“That was a joke and this is no laughing matter,” she told reporters when asked about Cain’s comment. “It’s important that we take this issue very seriously in dealing with the fence, as all of the individuals in front of me are doing, they’re dealing with it very capably and very seriously.”

I don’t see how this helps—saying something, then saying something is a joke, then turn around and say it is not a joke.

How are people who don’t spend a lot of time investigating candidates supposed to make a decision? One can’t see what the truth/plan is.

He changes his story twice in a couple of days?

Wow... And he wants to be President?

I keep saying it... He’s gonna really embarrass us.. Even if he’s your first choice, don’t slam on the other conservatives on case Cain crashes and burns... Worst thing that happens is we end up with Romney... Unfortunately, Cain wouldn’t be too crushed in that scenario

Is your blind following as a perrywinkle driving you insane?

Knocking mitty for his mittycare and even knocking Cain for his 9-9-9 interim tax plan is fine because both are defined policies; but to go berserk over whether Cain wants the fence to have electricity flowing through it is nutz.

The thing that bothers you so much is the fact that perry is weak on ILLEGAL ALIENS and has protected and promoted them for 10 years.

GWB was the same way, because he came from a state that has five million ILLEGAL ALIENS living and working there and both have compromised their values for votes.

It embarrassed Bush and Perry and you, and you all go hyper to attack any one that contrasts that position.

I’m not sure anymore what he wants, but I think he is saying that he still thinks an electric fence would be good, but doesn’t want it to kill people. I’m guessing the “kill people” part of his speech was the joke.

We had so much fun with this last night, with some Caniacs missing the sound of retreat and bravely soldiering on fighting for the absolute right to kill every illegal that crosses our border. Apparently, the sight of dead bodies piling up by the fence was supposed to be an effective deterrent. I had a blast, it was so much fun I actually stayed up all night just commenting back to them.

The best was when one of them “revealed” the “shocking truth” that I had supported Romney in the 2008 election. They then all started calling me a RINO liberal for supporting a guy like Romney. When I pointed out the hilarity of CAIN supporters attacking a freeper for supporting Romney in the last election, they explained why it was “different”. They couldn’t explain the part about why Cain saying he supported Romney in 2012 wasn’t germaine to the conversation.

I think blaming people for who they decide to support is stupid, but it was just funny. I did get one to admit that while he wanted to shoot illegals crossing the border, he wouldn’t shoot them if they had already made it across safely.

The question of the day — if something happens to Cain, and it comes down to Romney or Perry, who will the Cainiacs support? We know Herman Cain will support Romney over Perry. Will they follow suit? Better yet — will they admit it now?

I don’t know whether I’m supporting Cain, or Perry, or some other candidate, but I know I’ll never choose Romney over any of them that have a chance (thus eliminating Huntsman).

OK, if it’s between Romney and Ron Paul, I may just run down to the border, stand on the mexican side, call up a Cainiac supporter, tell them I’m illegal crossing the border. That way I won’t have to shoot myself.

“After first apologizing for suggesting an electric fence along the border”

BS. He never apologized.

The electrified fence is a winning idea.

Great, that you have come on board to point out that mr Cain wants to secure the boarder. Where as mr perry wants to hug an illegal.
