I take Perry at his word on this, though I believe that 12 months is a long time. It seems like with the aviation assets he talks about, that a major change could be effected in a month or less.
But ok, he’s talking about the time to build a fence, 12 months is reasonable.
And I do take him at his word on this. The anti-Perry fanatics completely misrepresent Perry on this issue, in my opinion. How many of them have ever been governor of a border state? Answer: zero.
The problem is, however, Perry will not be president.
Perry can’t win the Republican nomination.
Perry can’t win the general election (even if by some miracle he became the nominee).
He can’t debate; he can’t win. Period.
After he loses Iowa, NH and SC, I’m going to start posting in FR that it’s time for Perry to drop out.
I already believe it’s time for Santorum and Huntsman to drop out.
Even if, heaven forbid, Governor Perry loses his very first election, at least he’s taught Newt Gingrich and Herman Cain how to talk about securing the border. They are now using Perry’s plan in their points.
