Rick Perry Says Drug War ‘May Require Our Military in Mexico’

The biggest farce the GOP has tried to convince people is that they want small government…. It’s more like, small government (preferably none) for the issues the don’t like, BIG (HUGE) government for the issues they do like…

Boots on the ground in Mexico? Huh? Before this guy gets the job he’s designing a war for us? There were rumors George Bush had one (a war) in mind before he too was elected. Hmmmm, v_e_r_y interesting.

What the Deuce: Precisely!!!

Here’s a novel idea. How about controlling the gun flow that goes from the United States to Mexico. Does the gun manufacturing lobby (NRA) have too much power? Because you gotta know they have made hundreds of millions of dollars by selling guns to people that sell guns to Mexican drug cartels. How about NOT going into another war and just cut off the supply of weapons! Ohh, now I understand. The same people that make guns that end up in the hands of the bad guys make guns for our military. I guess this is the Tea Party way for government to stimulate the economy. We’ve always known the GOP would rather spend money on bombs and bullets than hospitals and doctors.

There they go again. War..War…War…and more War , as if that’s what we need now, while millions are out of work. Guys, this is not about fighting drug trafficking, or its all about starting another war and making profit out of it. plain and simple. Thats the GOP agenda. Make war, cuz its the easiest way to rip billions from the government to fund it. This is the GOP mentality that has screwed this country and is crippling america right now. Greed, greed and more greed….and Perry WILL lead us directly into another war in Mexico. BEWARE!

Saaay! This is the perfect opportunity for all those wingers who’re so quick tell everyone how THEY – the “real” patriots – would handle drug dealers and guarding the border. Join up, you guys, the line forms on the right.

This guy is worse than George Bush. Scary!

This is the most dangerous guy in America today. If he became president, America’s credit rating would sink to junk bond status within his first 100 days in office. He’s Bush 43 with better clothes and looser lips. I believe he thinks it’s a sign of weakness to think before you speak. He’s the epitome of the loose cannon. He has the hubris to accuse the US Government of committing criminal fraud for 75 years; he thinks he knows more that the thousands of professionals who have worked on or with the Social Security Administration, who never picked up on the fact that Social Security is a Ponzi scheme: what do they know? They are only forensic accountants, attorneys, judges, and other like dopes. but he, an Ag school graduate, figured it out.

A combination of hubris, stupidity, ignorance, and one dimensional thinking would make for the worst possible president in our history. I bet that he doesn’t even know the legal definition of “Ponzi Scheme”. If he did, he never would have made his headline seeking statement about Social Security. Bachman is bad, but this guy would be the worst news for America since the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor. The tragedy of 9/11 would pale in comparison with the country-wide damage this man could do, if elected president. I’m 77, flew for 11 years as a Navy pilot, work as a volunteer at my local VA Medical Center, but I think I’d move to Canada if he were elected. Shame on the RNC for letting him run with their endorsement.

He doesn’t believe that all the [bleep] we’ve put into the atmosphere has an impact on the planet. And he won’t believe it as long as he and his buddies are making money off poluting industries. THAT’S science to the wealthy.

Just tell ATF to stop running leaky gun “stings” and legalize marijuana here. Let people grow the stuff on their lanais or in their own yards: make it of no or at least very little commercial value. That – all by itself – will cut far into the drug cartels’ pockets, and so reduce the violence. It is the very same lesson we already learned (or should have learned) in 1933.

The old saying “They make em bigger in Texas” no longer applies. The new saying ” they make em DUMB (George W. Bush) and DUMBER (Rick Perry) in Texas has now been chosen.

Its coming…

mr. perry is a punk with a mountain lion mouth and a gooney bird brain… the only way to stop the drug war here in the USA and in mexico is to stop people like rush limbaugh from spending billions of dollars on illegal drugs south of the border.

I want a war on drug CARTELS — not on DRUGS. Legalize drugs and attack the real problem.

The ‘ol cowboy ain’t lookin’ too good is he? Check out that picture. Without the makeup he looks like an unmade bed. It”s OK, he’s got a brain to match. Yeah I think that’s a great idea too, sending our soldiers down to Mexico to get killed by drug dealers. After all, it’s what they signed up for isn’t it?

The more you know about him the less you will like him.

Sending our troops into Mexico is a bad idea. It would be disrepectful and likely waste a lot of money. Perhaps he thought his comments would deflect attention from the beating he took from Republicans in Florida for his position on immigration, a position I generally agree with him on. Perry is quite clueless on foreign policy. I believe we need to be giving aid to Mexico to support their government and their troops and law enforcement for battling against the drug gangs. And we need to crack down on our side for the weapons shipments since these drug gangs are buying firearms in the US and shipping them into Mexico. I think Perry overall is a rather poor candidate for President and I will vote for Obama rather than him. I think the only potential chance Republicans have against Obama is Mitt Romney, and even then Mitt Romney may end up being a sacrificial candidate. Republicans overall are rather insecure and prone to get the US involved in military conflicts that have little strategic significance other than they waste a lot of government taxpayer money.

America does not need to send troops into Mexico. For starters the Mexican people woulld roit in the streets of every city in Mexico if U.S. Armed Forces entered the country. I live in El Paso and work in one of the public school districts which has many recently relocated Mexican children whose families have fled the violence of the drug war. I can tell you first hand that American troops would not be welcomed! What would end the war on drugs and stop the violence in Mexico is a dramatic change in U.S. policy by ending the war on drugs here in the United States. Unless you can stop the demand for drugs you will never stop the the flow of drugs into this country. The military efforts in Coloumbia only drove the cartels north into Mexico. America Dr. Ron Paul has the solution to the drug war. RON PAUL 2012

great idea, american troops in Mexico to stop the drug trade and mexican troops in the United States to kill all the drug users, problem solved I agree with DJS, except it might be dumb and dumbest

Is this guy on drugs?

Rick has a gun, why doesn’t he just go shoot all the bad guys is Mexico instead of using US Troops.

Is anyone surprised by this. GOP solutions almost always involves the military. I can see it now: If Perry gets elected troops are sent to Mexico. Of course, Perry will not raise taxes to pay for this so, in typical GOP fashion when it comes to the military, it will be a case of spend and owe. After it turns into a fiasco and Perry’s term in office is finished, a Democrat will be elected and have to deal with cleaning the mess up. The GOP will resist all efforts to do so and blame the whole mess on the Democrats.

Great idea Rick…let’s attach Canada first for a little pre Mexican war practice. Rick Perry is pathetic and bankruped of ideas.

What we need is to bring the troops home, and place them on our border with Mexico, to fight the invaders we have bringing drugs and crime here. We do not need to safeguard Rick Perry’s friends in Mexico, because despite what he said, Juarez is not part of America or Texas.

He also told us he wanted to secede. I tell you what-why doesn’t he go down there and fight himself? Instead of risking our boys’ neck, he can fight for his constituents down there, and leave America like he said he wanted to do so.

America-Love it or Leave, freeloader! From the lone wolf state, eh?

I live in Texas and get news reports from mexico constantly. Don’t send more resources and troops there, they are already getting drones. If Mexico doesn’t want to have a death penalty for crimes that scream for it, let them get what they want and have criminals live long in their countries. Don’t send troops there, we don’t need to babysit Mexico further.

War with Mexico’s criminal elements? I think Americans are use to war overseas, it never touches them or affect their day to day. War with Mexico’s criminal elements would mean war at home. These brutal people would terrorize american citizens are do horrible mass murders. If they do it to their own, they would do it to us. But, in the end, I think our federal gov’t has to do more to protect us. The problem I foresee is how will the rules of war engagement be enacted here on our soil? Would the president target and kill an american without due process in Texas or Arizona like Obama did in Yemen? I think helping Mexico is good, but I’m not sure I want our military patrolling our neighborhoods to protect us from cartels.

INVADE!

Governor Perry knows a lot more about the violence down there than most of us do. And it’s a lot worse thanks to the thousands of weapons that the ATF sold to the drug cartels via Obama/Holder’s Fast and Furious Operation. If the drug cartels threaten Americans, we have to stop the cartels.

Of course, ABC pounced on this particular comment to paint Perry as a war monger. Which he isn’t. But he does love America and will protect us if need be.

If we would have made Mexico a state back in 1840s we wouldn’t be having this problem now. Go in all the way to panama and annex them. Its a win win from them and us. Our border will be narrower and we won’t illegal problems. We’ll also have more resources and beaches!!!

Stupidity at it’s finest!

I’d like to see drones on the boarder and start shooting when they see illegals with guns and/or dope on our soil. Also like to see this administration put on trial for selling guns to the Mexican cartel and criminals that have killed hundreds of people.

Shoot ‘em up Perry would be a joke if he wasn’t so frightening.

The Republican Party has run off their rails! No money to create jobs here in the US, but let’s spend on privatized prisons and “sending troops to Mexico”. You know, “small government”. Unbelievable.

Is he out of his mind are not in enough wars in other countries that we have no right being there and now he wants to put in another war that we created by buying the drugs the grow?

If we took care of our drugies in our own Country they would go broke because nobody would buy what they growing and the killings would end.

Boots on the ground in Mexico? Huh? —– How about boots on the ground on our borders. Seems much more effective and would cost less and would not allow our money to go to some corrupt people., We just spent 23 billion in Pakinstan over the years. But we can’t spend anything here and we can’t use our troops more wisely…. It is just getting insane.

How about we use our troops to flush out the growers that are growing in our national parks and other remote land areas. It is a big problem.

overandover, BIG problem? What a joke.. Yeah, it’s a WEED, real problem alright. Legalize it instead and vote for RON PAUL.

(R) 2012 RICK PERRY Presidential White House: If you (like New Hampshire) think you disagree with Gov. PERRY, you just have to learn how being citizens to live with a large rally of street mice population together. Because the Democrats coverup, American taxpayers are suffering to burden on a large prison bill to keep Obama’s fans in jails. There are quite differences between Texas’ and Alabama’ state Immigration law, since 1970s, different Republican Texan governors had discussed the same issue of the farm (seasonal) Hispanic workers, their families and children education, NO Texan governor(s) could ignore to offer at least something to settle the Hispanic affairs. Pretty soon, we’ll afraid Alabama’s farmers may run out of business to close their farms because the shortage of illegal Hispanic farm workers are running away to avoid arrested and deportation, our American grocery may go upper again …

Rick Perry is providing us with the comic relief that we all could use so let him keep yammering. I’ll just say no comment.

Put the troops on our border if you want to get serious about the drugs and illegals! How could he even entertain the thought of sending our military into Mexico! Loser!

Tariffs not Troops. Tax the crap out of the drugs and make them so bloody expensive folks will be content with made in the USA beer. Same goes for solar panels, ipods, IT H1B job stealers……you want jobs and education in the USA for folks of the USA, let Perry step up and do his job rather than spout redneck talking point crap. Make it profitable and it will get done. We are the only country on earth that does not have enough sense in it’s government to derive funding from importers. China is going to own us without ever firing a shot.

Perry has no chance because he’s dumber than George Bush, Ron Paul complained about killing a terrorist, Mitt Romney supports creating jobs overseas at the expense of American jobs, Newt never even gets mentioned in the media, Herman Cain’s only plan is 999 which will would require congress to stand on their heads to deal with it (ah oh, 666) Michelle Bachmann is dumber than Perry, wow, not much there yet. I know, let’s get the big guy from Jersey. Nope he supported the “ground zero” mosque. I guess only one god available is Rush Limbaugh. Damn, he’d have to give up his $400m contract with Mitt Romney’s Bain Capital subsidiary Clear Channel. : – )

What makes you people out there think any candidate that is running, if elected could do what they say they can without the Congress working with them? They are promising you pie in the sky.

I heard somewhere that Rick Perry’s campaign is considering the slogan “Yee Haw!”

I couldn’t bring myself to vote for Obama. No way could I vote for someone as stupid as Rick Perry. If Perry gets the Republican nomination I’ll just stay home on election day. I’ve got some moonshine I haven’t opened yet. Maybe that will dull the pain.
We need to close our military bases in other countries and bring those troops home. We need to secure our border. Ron Paul wants to do just that. No one else is even talking about it.

Right, because we’ve stopped all the drug cartels in Columbia….This dude is a joke. The corruption in our political system is becoming pretty blatant. It’s like these people don’t care enough and Americans have accepted it. I don’t even want to vote for ANYONE is this election, everyone is a joke.

We need to put the drug cartels out of business the same way we put Al Capone out of business. End Prohibition! Only one candidate believes in the Free Market to cure this disease-Dr. Ron Paul.

Just when I think this idiot can’t make a bigger fool of himself – he opens his mouth again.
