    ... And the worst idea in the world goes to Rick Perry.

    Yeah, let's send the troops to fight a futile war where the enemy are obsessed with capturing, torturing and killing our troops while filming it. Wait, that sounds familiar. Only difference is the cartels have modern weapons.

    Just legalize it already. All of it. This is just ridiculous.

    So... let me get this straight. He wants to send my brothers and sisters in arms into Mexico to fight the "drug war" which is funded and equipped by rogue factions (documented cases of government involvement)... talk about breathing in your own fart. Why not put the military on the border and end the futile war on drugs? The Department of Defense is supposed to be about defense... it's reverted back to the war department....

    That's pretty standard for the evangelical movement. The minority of evangelicals line up with Ron's ideas.

    Just annex Mexico already and start a proper empire.
    In New Zealand:
    The Coastguard is a Charity
    Air Traffic Control is a private company run on user fees
    The DMV is a private non-profit
    Rescue helicopters and ambulances are operated by charities and are plastered with corporate logos
    The agriculture industry has zero subsidies
    5% of the national vote, gets you 5 seats in Parliament
    A tax return has 4 fields
    Business licenses aren't a thing
    Prostitution is legal
    We have a constitutional right to refuse any type of medical care

    If this gets wide public exposure, we should be able to strike through Perry's name on this board soon.

    He's trying to look tough on the border, and on drugs. Both will be a plus with most Republican voters. This wont redeem him for his comments on in-state tuition though. That sunk him.

    Governor perry certainly has a bad idea.

    He's a Texan he should know his history, when the predominately white Texan community who governed Texas in 1836 just after the independence war with Mexico, lost many Texans. Nearly give a few hundred more a 1,000, quite a lot. He shouldn't be so gung ho about war, it's far too painful and disgusting.

    Perry reminds me a little of the former president Lamar, who wasn't necessarily hell bent on war with the American natives, but I believe went a little too far. Not a enough patience for peace. Even though he and many Texans didn't like them at the time, except for the then former president Sam Houston who had grown up with Natives when he was much younger. A man ahead of his time.

    Texas state tried to avoid war, but the Mexicans did everything that would make a group of people eventually rebel against their umbrella government so far away that had instabilities.

    The last time the Mexicans would invade Texas state would be in 1842, with a Texas Army invasion very very briefly. But the problems in Mexico still continued, so a full invasion never could happen.

    In the end, Texas state would eventually be dissolved with the last president, Anson Jones having very little power over the office of president. When Texas came into the American Union.

    Perry is dissapointing, especially his behavior towards Paul last month.

    Doesn't he really mean "send more troops"? I mean, let's be honest here. We've been using our troops to help fight this 'drug war' for years.

    I'm not American, but that was the American government dealing with a historically unstable Mexican state.

    The Texans left for a reason, as for America's actions well they were rather imperialistic.

    Rick Perry also says in his book, trying to sound like Ron Paul, that marijuana should be left for the states to decide.

    This is a huge contradiction, and he ought to be asked about it everywhere he goes.
