Sorry - don't promise a thing if you can't commit. And don't give me that 9/11 BS. We should be able to chew gum and walk at the same time. We should be able to defeat the Islamic horde AND fix our own domestic problems at the same time. Its not an either/or option. We have/had the money and the resources, then. We screwed up. Now social security isn't fixed.
Defund the UN? Bravo! But Wait, its a Texan that's speaking. So maybe ...
Big problem! Where is the money coming from. I will say that Perry has asked Obama for boots on the ground, drones, and aviation to fight the drug cartels and keep out the illegals. Obama has refused all the requests repeatedly. Perry has had multi-discipline teams on the border for a long time, but there is only so much that can be done. TX catches them and Ice lets them go. Futile.
Nothing happened on SS because Congress wouldn’t pass it. Presidents can’t simply decree legislation to happen - unless you are Obamalini (then everything is up for grabs).
I am no fan of Bush, but, even though I didn’t like his proposal (SS and Medicare need to end), he made a serious effort. Unfortunately the Congress AND a majority of Americans opposed “tampering” with that rotten program.
I don't know if he would or not, but I started by saying I'm not a perry guy.
My guy is Cain, and if he says it, I'll believe him.
He did step on his crank tonight in an interview with blitzer, but later on said he screwed up and misspoke re: the prisoner release vs American hostage. Dumb mistake.
So, you think that Texans in general are liars who can't be taken at their word. Such a comment says more about you than it does about Texans.
Seriously... can't you come up with a more sophisticated retort than that?
