#1 At $100k per 10 mile stretch, that would be $20 million for the entire border. So why is our government saying that it would cost billions??

#2 Cost overruns, you know, the usual reasons.

#3 If they complete the 10 mile stretch, it will embarrass the border Govs and the congress. It will be both impossible to ignore and impossible to easily explain away. The MSM wil cover it because they'll spin to lay it solely at Bush's feet, though it was definitely a group clusterfuck that led to this moment.

This is the seed that will get it done. Thank you, Chris.

#4 Now, if we cover that fence with a few snipers, that will be the end of border crossings there.

#5 I think this is the group I sent some fence money to a few weeks ago.

Money well spent.

#6 This is so cool. I really wish these guys well. Surely there's some oil guy in Texas that's got $20 million burning a hole in his pocket...

#7 *slaps forehead*

Damn! Thank you, Tony. I know some of those guys - we go hunting ever so often. Never shot one cuz they aren't lawyers, lol. Hmmmm... I need to think about this - they're all old hard-bitten nasty bastards, kinda like me, lol. Real wildcatters with not a namby-pamby Daddy's Money or Petrofizzicist in the lot, so only facts will talk, not fluffy-bunny shit. This could be great, lol. Thanks! God RB is great! Rantburgahu Akbar!

#9 Gracious, boy! Are you always so disparaging and abusive to people you don't know and so cynical about matters of which you have no actual knowledge? Son, every word I said was true and you need to relax. What a nasty piece of work.
