Rick Perry thinks Ciudad Juarez is located in the USA (health care, Obama)

[zoomba]

SF and this (along with all of his threads), is a perfect example of the obamatron troll and trolling I brought up in my topic on the subject.

Huge difference.

Just as North America is different than Central & South America.

You don't seriously think the OP cares about facts?

Mexico City is located in America, you don't need a college degree to know these basic facts but of course the OP doesn't care... if they did they wouldn't have lied in the thread title.

America - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

He didn't say the USA or United States of America, he said America and technically Mexico is in America just like the rest of the countries in North America. Now I know you'll simply dismiss the facts I just posted and will claim that what Perry said might have been correct but you know for a fact that he meant something else that you also assume is wrong therefore you'll continue to attack him for a mistake that's only found in your own head.

So do you consider the people of Mexico to be Americans? When the GOP had the slogan, "America first" they were including Mexico?

We all know that many Republicans use America synonymous with USA. I've seen arguments on here , mainly by right wingers arguing that point.

It seems Texas isn’t big enough for Rick Perry.

During a sit down with reporters on Monday, the Texas governor incorrectly identified Juarez — located across the Rio Grande, and border, from El Paso — as “the most dangerous city in America.”



The misstatement came in the middle of an impassioned assault on the administration’s record of enforcing the border.

“How many more American citizens are going to have to die?” Perry asked.

The border state governor then turned to the chaos created by Mexico’s drug wars.

“There have been 34,000 Mexicans killed directly attributable to the drug wars. It is a very dangerous place,” he said.

Perry then pointed out that “Juarez is reported to be the most dangerous city in America.”

After an aide informed the governor of his mistake, Perry clarified that Juarez indeed belongs to Mexico, not Texas.

You don't? They live in America, why wouldn't they be Americans?

I don't pay attention to GOP slogans but that really doesn't have anything whatsoever to do with the FACT that you were WRONG and now you're desperately trying to spin your way out of it.

Just admit it so we can move on to you trolling some more, Rick Perry thinks Juarez is in America and he's RIGHT and you were WRONG.

El Paso = America (United States of America)

Jaurez = America (Mexico)

I'm glad you agree that Rick Perry was right. I don't even like the guy but don't try to lie and spin what he said.

I asked you a question, nice way of skirting the issue.

I didn't ask if they were wrong, I asked if the GOP included Mexico when the choose the slogan "America first"

The tea party often says "Take back America" According to your point, they mean Mexico as well.

I guess Mr. Greenwood should re-write "Gold Bless the USA" (Proud to be an American) to suit you?



Artist: Lee Greenwood
Song: Proud To Be An American

If tomorrow all the things were gone,
I’d worked for all my life.
And I had to start again,
with just my children and my wife.

I’d thank my lucky stars,
to be livin here today.
‘ Cause the flag still stands for freedom,
and they can’t take that away.

And I’m proud to be an American,
where at least I know I’m free.
And I wont forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.

And I gladly stand up,
next to you and defend her still today.
‘ Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land,
God bless the USA.

From the lakes of Minnesota,
to the hills of Tennessee.
Across the plains of Texas,
From sea to shining sea.

From Detroit down to Houston,
and New York to L.A.
Well there's pride in every American heart,
and its time we stand and say.

That I’m proud to be an American,
where at least I know I’m free.
And I wont forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.

And I gladly stand up,
next to you and defend her still today.
‘ Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land,
God bless the USA.

And I’m proud to be and American,
where at least I know I’m free.
And I wont forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.

And I gladly stand up,
next to you and defend her still today.
‘ Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land,
God bless the USA.
