We would send the National Guard to the border to do what, exactly?

One of the more puzzling things about Texas Gov. Rick Perry's demands that the National Guard be sent to the Texas border is that nobody can quite clarify why, exactly, that would help.
[I]n an interview today, the head of the National Guard under George W. Bush said he had not yet heard a clear rationale for sending in the Guard and suggested it might not be the appropriate response to the problems at the core of the current crisis, though he did say he could envision the Guard playing some sort of part in a broader solution.
You and me both, buddy. You would think that at least Rick Perry himself would be able to state why he wants the National Guard, but he seems to be of the general (very Republican) opinion that merely sending troops somewhere to do something will solve the original something.
[E]ven Perry has struggled to articulate what the Guard should do in this case. When Brit Hume recently pointed out to Perry that kids are merely turning themselves over to law enforcement already, and asked how the Guard would change this, Perry argued that the “visual” showing them at the border might serve as a deterrent.

have you notice the republican suit on Pres. like their 2012 vaudeville extravaganza they started to early giving the morons too much time when they had no game in the first place so they were left with Perry can't remember three things, Richie Romney betting 10,000 dollars and so on, now it's repeating same players in their first comedy of errors play too much time and mouths with ffeet in them are all we're seeing from them.

That's as far as Perry's gotten. His recent border trip with Sean Hannity was mostly a series of photo ops with guns. America's Dumbest Congressman Louie Gohmert went farther, saying Texas had the right to dispatch "ships of war" to the Rio Grande if that's what it took to something-something refugees. Fox News has been a huge peddler of the something-something part: as Bill O'Reilly so tersely put it, "you can stabilize the southern border by militarizing it."

ships of war for kids one thing you can say about republicans they are equal war mongering party no matter who you are how old you are "we'll get you".  save the fetus kill and discard the kid, you got to love 'em because we know they are all going to hell with bells on in a little row boat.
