Texas Gov. Rick Perry is taking seriously his preparation for a possible presidential run, meeting with domestic and foreign policy experts. He is also campaigning for governors. In Iowa, for example, he said, Im not worried about [GOP Gov.] Terry Branstad. But we have an important Senate race there. Branstad, whos at the top of the ticket, will raise the tide for everyone.
Perry is more at ease, less forced in conversation than he was four years ago. He even looks and sounds different. Gone is the Texas swagger (and much of the twang). In his distinctive black eyeglasses, he looks more like a middle-aged businessman than a Texas pol. But that doesnt mean he is without controversy. He got himself in hot water last week by comparing homosexuality to alcoholism. But unlike in 2012, he quickly corrected course at a GOP gathering in D.C.:

"Instead of halting people at the border, walls have redirected desperate migrants toward perilous desert routes, leading to the tragic deaths of thousands of men, women, and children..
Wasn’t something mentioned earlier about ‘honor’? Because if thats the case things speak for themselves. And copping data from LaRaza groupies buddies ain’t it.
But that group shares a position with La Raza Rick. So that makes what they say acceptable.
Well OF COURSE it does. How foolish of me. No. Not foolish.
Heartless.
But those opposed to defending our borders will always try to rationalize their positions. As I said earlier, I know the border fencing is effective, I don't need government statistics, that was for the benefit of others. The traffic that once traipsed through my yard no longer does. And that has happened only SINCE the fences have been erected.
Even the pro-ILLEGAL alien group our friend cited says the Instead of halting people at the border, walls have redirected desperate migrants toward perilous desert routes,
If the fences are so ineffective as our friend and his pro-ILLEGAL alien source insist they are, why then, have they pushed the ILLEGAL crossers further east into the desert where there is no fencing?
If I learned anything from the past time around it is that the Perry crowd will never admit they are wrong because doing so requires they also admit their hero is wrong, and that is something they can never do. As a result, they employ the circular argument, something I have neither the time nor the patience for. We have proved our point in this thread. I am done.
Indeed we have. Keep this thread for reference. Because you can bet our honorable friend will post that bit of propaganda from that pro illegal site again. And again.
And people should be made aware of his actions when he does. Which of course, you don’t need me to tell you. More a tip for the lurkers really ;)
There is another way to read that chart though. Dispite all the increase in BP and the Decrease in numbers. are they apprehending less because there are less to apprehend overall or because of catch and release/mot counting the numbers?
I seem to remember a number of articles about how Obama redefined the way the heads get counted.
Bookmarked. :-)
Which site did that come from? One of ours or one of LaRaza’s?
Probably best for you to stop. your cred is shot.
Just like a liberal. Those numbers are from the U.S. Border Patrol, but the numbers don’t fit your narrative so you can ignore the data and focus on me. Carry on.

And what was liberal like about my point and questions? Exactly?
Youve got to wonder why a Perry supporter who just earlier today claimed Perry was not opposed to border fences is working as hard as he is to try and discredit the effectiveness of border fences. Hmmmm....
btw...border fences aside, my tagline is sufficient to disregard Rick Perry as a serious candidate.
Nah, I don’t wonder. At all. I don’t wonder when two years down the road leftists restart the push for Romney after dragging the party further to the left than Dems under Clinton and I don’t wonder when leftists post invented data from racist websites to assist the GOP on passing Amnesty.
They are birds of a feather.
Perhaps soon, on a pedophilia thread, a different ‘staunch rock Ribbed conservative” will cite NAMBLA articles in support of that or AIDS articles from ACT-Up! or another linked group to promote homosexual blood donations Why not right? . Makes that sort of sense.
Bttt
I don’t even know how to react, in all honesty, to a freeper posting articles from Amnesty supporter websites as ‘fact’ on FR. AND have the poster spaz over ‘honor’.
We really are in 1984 or Idiocracy. Just when it seems one is more likely, the other makes a strong case. But it sure as hell isn’t Reagan’s America.
