A lot of FReepers and others have a fantasy in mind that would equate to justice, but there’s nobody to ever enforce that so it will never happen. But the fantasy takes on a life of its own...never mind there’s nobody in charge to make it happen.

A good example is a post advocating that “Obama be arrested and put in jail” right out of the WH.

Oh yeah? Who’s gonna do THAT??

Another is massive deportation. Who’s gonna do THAT??

You didn’t say whether you thought Perry should’ve been destroyed, just that Romney did that over the issue of illegal immigration but went on to lose.

I went through the “destroy Perry” wars. I have the scars to prove it. Let me once more put forward this truth: The Texas legislature passed the bill, overwhelmingly with overwhelmingly veto-proof margins, to provide in-state tuition rates to the children who were brought here by adults, if they met certain listed requirements. Perry thought that was reasonable since they HAD to be educated in our schools by federal law, anyways, through high school.

HOWEVER.

Perry’s actual position on illegal immigration is that the feds are refusing to secure the border and that the border must be secured, period, period, PERIOD, before he will entertain talk about what to do next.

YOu will note, this push for “reform” pays lip service to that, but is pushing all sorts of final solutions in the same breath as mentioning border security.

Rick Perry has the position that you don’t even talk about any of that now. You just focus on securing the border. Until it is secured. I submit to you that is NOVEL. And I submit he has so much to offer and has been sufficiently mischaracterized on illegal immigration, that he did not deserve to be destroyed.

So Mr RomneyCare was right to destroy Rick Perry over immigration? What about RomneyCare/Obamacare as a worthy issue to destroy somebody over???

This morning Gov. Perry was on with Beck. I missed most of it but heard Perry’s response about Texas having its own gold that it has so far not been allowed to see and inventory, just as others have not been allowed to. Beck said, but Governor, you (TX) might not have the final say as to whether you get access to inventory your state’s gold...what then?

Perry chuckled. He chuckled for some time, There was an ironic, hard-edge to his laugh. Finally he drawled, “Since it’s OUR gold, we won’t face a situation where others have the say over it”. Or something like that. I’ve paraphrased.

I love Rick Perry. I understand “TEXAN”.

Is he perfect? Nobody is. What are we having to face right now about Rand Paul. And I submit to you that Rand is so far to the left of Perry on illegal immigration, it isn’t even funny. In this ridiculous speech, Rand even talks about a “bipartisan” Congress running his immigration plan.

Bipartisan Congress???
