The Obama administration canceled Friday the troubled, billion-dollar "virtual fence" project along the U.S. border with Mexico and said it will turn to other security measures to better guard the desert region.

If you remember, this virtual fence was one of McCain's major platform planks in the 2008 election.



But now what does skippy say?

Isn't this classic? A right winger neat idea proven to be a complete and utter failure...

Boy are we lucky McCain didn't win...

3. The Virtual Fense

Was a bad idea to begin with and this should have been clear even back in 2008. It showed two things, ACE McCain didn't understand what caused the immigration problem and it showed he didn't have a clue on how to fix it. It clearly demonstrated he was unfit to be a Senator let alone a president.

Too bad we wasted billions of dollars on it chasing ACE McCain's stupidity.

2. Privatization of the project created the disgrace. But I bet McCain still

votes to privatize government projects. Its outrageous how the GOP continues to allow private companies to rip off the taxpayers.

5. Privitization Is Another Example

Of Right wing tomfoolery...it didn't work in Iraq and Afghanistan and it certainly would not have worked on our southern border.

BTW: Republicans do not look at it as "ripping" off the taxpayers. They look at it as an opportunity to make profits where there was none before...

4. McGramps should have fenced himself

and Palin away from sane human beings. McGramps's desperation which led to Palin crawling out of her hole from hell has done nothing but harm to civility.

6. That's Callled Republican "Neat Ideas."

They are ideas that "sound" neat but invariably fail.

The virtual fence, tax cuts for the wealthy, deregulation of banks, privatization and so on are all examples of "neat ideas."

Palin herself was a neat idea...and she is indeed a world class failure.
