It’s now a “9999” plan: 9 percent personal income tax, 9 percent national sales tax, 9 percent business tax, and a 9 amp jolt if you try to illegally cross into the US.
Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain said Saturday that part of his immigration policy would be to build an electrified fence on the country’s border with Mexico that could kill people trying to enter the country illegally.
The remarks, which came at two campaign rallies in Tennessee as part of a barnstorming bus tour across the state, drew loud cheers from crowds of several hundred people at each rally. At the second stop, in Harriman, Tenn., Mr. Cain added that he also would consider using military troops “with real guns and real bullets” on the border to stop illegal immigration.
[...]
It is not the first time that Mr. Cain has floated the idea of an electrified fence. He has told the story many times of a caller to his former radio show who chastised him for talking about building a border fence, saying that such an idea was impractical. Mr. Cain often says he told the caller that he had recently returned from China, and if the Chinese could build the Great Wall then America could build a border fence.
Before we assume that Herman Cain’s suggestion will cause Democrats or even select Republicans to throw even more scorn in his direction, I’d suggest this: Cain could win over many of them simply by saying that in his border plan, the fence would be electrified with power provided by solar panels the government purchased from stimulus-backed green energy companies.
Cain the TALKER has no governing record to judge him with on any issue therefore he must be judged based on every word he says and said in the past and the present. You cannot just dismiss his insane idea of electrifying the fence and killing unarmed citizens as he does not mean it.
KILLING CITIZENS?
LOL! Your own uncertainty of the strength of your positions was revealed right there.
Always has been. Which is precisely the reason he's taken hits from the right and the left from day one.
Those pictures are incredible and thank you for posting them. The fence is just a stupid idea and when someone like Cain the TALKER is saying to electrify it and kill unarmed civilians then it is called political suicide and most importantly anti-American. We do not kill unarmed civilians in America including illegal immigrants.
I meant unarmed civilians.
Sorry, when someone is running for President he must not joke with electrifying a fence and killing unarmed civilians. Cain the TALKER shows that he is not ready for President, not at all.
What is your position on Cain’s earlier proposal to build a moat with alligators around the electrified fence?
Why do you say that? I kind of liked it even though I preferred it when I thought he was serious.
What you meant, but were afraid to put into words was ‘unarmed invaders’.
Come-on be brave, call them what they are...unarmed invaders responding to Perrys financial invitation to invade our country.
That is such an amazing graphic.
Thanks so much jgge. I post them to those who say Perry has done 'nothing' about the border. Strangely I seldom get a reply back from them, lol.
Keep on posting those pics!!
Thank you CW!
So many lies from you.
Sounds like the same kind of “punish” as Obama’s “I don’t want to see women punished with a baby.”
