“When Newt called the illegals “citizens”...even though they might have been law-abiding....just lost ME!”

Wake up, people.
If anybody thinks we are EVER going to deport 11-20 million people, many of whom are registered Democrat voters, you need to step away from the meth pipe...

The answer is now, as it has always been.
CONTROL THE BORDER FIRST. Then, and ONLY then, are other “solutions” even possible.

Mittens giving Perry ‘the look’ again. It’s kinda like the Church LAdy.

LOL. Great line! All he needs to do is put his hand on his hip and then do the little dance afterward.

Perry said on Letterman that the look was kind of creepy.

EVER got to be a leader. I’m not EVEN talking about him being
president!

Should I be happy to be dead if my corpse is “free?”

So you really think your personal well being is more important than our freedom? Going to have to disagree with you. I have children and grandchildren and I want them to grow up in a free society. We have too many politicians pushing us down the road to socialism and who see our liberties as an inconvenience.

Good answer by Cain on Syria. We don’t need to be policing Syria’s internal conflict! A no fly zone is a prelude to another Libya scenario.

Consider, though, that if there was one place in the Middle East that was worth intervening, it was Syria.

Iran is the primary enemy. And Syria is an ally of Iran.

Libya, Egypt, Tunisia...were all under control -- with Western-friendly leaders. And no threat to anybody...ut the Muslim Brotherhood.

Syria is an enemy. And a threat to Israel. And the uprising appears to be a popular affair -- with no affinity for Islamists.

If you're going to intervene anywhere, in an attempt to replace the regime, it is in Syria.

Not in Libya...

No, Newt said Americans are not heartless, thus most Americans agree with him.

Newt will allow deportations, BTW. Just not a mass deportation of every single one of the millions of illegals, and you’re deluding yourself if you think there’s 1 candidate on that stage who would do so.

Perry is right. Put it on the table. That does not mean we do it.

Perry is making it up as he goes. Last week it was “half time gummint” now it’s “no fly zones”. Pulling idea out of his butt?

We’ve all seen the videos of illegals coming in...for years and years....and with that nobody willing to address or act on it....so now they are here in millions...it’s called “invasion” not immigration and that with the support of our govenment and congress who by not stopping it have supported and continues to support it.

So with that in mind...there is no “fix” to this..there just isn’t. Their numbers now are enough to stop or threaten any deportations...it’s never going to happen...too late.

No it wasn't. He answered it right off the bat with a definite no to the no fly zone.

Then he stated what he would do.

You hear only half of what is being said.
