'Republicans can't have it both ways' says a Republican
Monday, February 14, 2011 - 12:57 PM
Not a bad interviewer, that former Governor David Paterson, who was guest-hosting on the John Gambling Show this morning. GOP Rep. Peter King was a guest, and took a swipe at members of his GOP House colleagues for not putting their budget priorities where their rhetoric was:
Peter King: They're cutting very heavily in the border patrol.
David Paterson: Now that's surprising.
Peter King: Republicans can't have it both ways. You can't be banging against illegal immigration and then cutting back on the customs and border protection.
