Pat, Pat, Pat.............................
"The Fence" has been the GOPs baby since Pat Buchanan started babbling about it in the 1980s. They've been cradling it, breast feeding it, tickling its belly ("Goochie, goochie, goo") for so long it doesn't matter whether or not it actually works. They love it. It's their psychological security blanket.
It's just like their fascination with war. If there are no bombs going off for them to see on t.v.----nothing is getting done.
If there is no physical fence for them to see----nothing is keeping the evil brown people out.
Words like "diplomacy", "covert operations" and "deportations" escape them, because you can't show them a picture of it. Even if you could, they would quickly become bored with it because it isn't spectacular enough to hold their attention.
