do you believe Kyl or Obama

[Guest 6.8 AR]

The plot thickens. Now (yesterday) Obama has asked for funding to increase border security. What took so long?

We have a much larger problem on our hands. Sorry politicians... ALL of them, put their own worthless hides in front of our needs every time. If we find one that's not scumbag, we give them a four year scholarship to scumbag college. How do we deal with that?

Always has to increase funding, not! He can allocate

Funding from his stimulus funding if he really wants

to do what he says. That's all this guy wants to do:

Spend money

Not all he wants to do, but it seems to be his top priority. Fact is, plugging the holes in the fence ain't gonna be free. It's also real similar to trying to keep mice out of a barn. Ain't gonna happen without the help of cats and some d-con.

And him and his cronies are great at spending money we don't have

Yep, but they don't have the exclusive on that. It was going on before they showed up, and my money sez, it will be going on when they're long gone.

I have a feeling that after the health care bill is repealed, we'll have quite a bit less deficit than we have now. they can always put some of that money towards securing our borders.

Last military appropriation extension bill was for 88 billion. Of that, some 30 billion was for the military, the rest was pork and vote-buying BS. So "more funding for border security" doesn't impress me, until I see where it actually goes. A fence that isn't watched isn't a barrier - at most, it is a nuisance.

Obama cut Border Patrol funding 5 times in the first 3 months of this year. He nationalized the AZ guard so that Governor Brewer couldn't put them on the border. Citizens or groups that dare to do something about it get hammered (remember the rancher who caught and held a group of 50 or so that were trespassing his ranch? He lost home and ranch for "violating their civil rights").

Obama has no interest in securing the border. Further, he won't allow it to be secured. Of course he's lying.
