Can we PLEASE all agree once and for all that this guy is an idiot? PLEASE!! Because he is. There is no way that the Perry lovers can give this a pass. I just don’t see that happening. Even they know this is a stupid move on Perry’s part.
That is an idiotic thing to state with all due respect.
You mean it was OK for Sarah Palin to say it, it didn’t diminish conservatives worshipping her, but if Perry says it, he is “an idiot”? Consistency is not your strong suit, is is?

Q: Should undocumented immigrants all should be deported?
A: There is no way that in the US we would roundup every illegal immigrant - there are about 12 million of the illegal immigrants - not only economically is that just an impossibility but that’s not a humane way anyway to deal with the issue.
Q: Do you then favor an amnesty for the 12 million undocumented immigrants?
A: No, I do not. Not total amnesty. You know, people have got to follow the rules. We have got to make sure that there is equal opportunity and those who are here legally should be first in line for services being provided and those opportunities that this great country provides.
Q: So you support a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants?
A: I do because I understand why people would want to be in America. To seek the safety and prosperity, the opportunities, the health that is here. It is so important that yes, people follow the rules so that people can be treated equally and fairly in this country.
Uh, no he’s not an idiot. He’s a realist who actually has to deal with these PEOPLE. Unlike you and the gang here, he sees the people. That’s a good thing for a leader. Too bad those are few and far between here.
Any candidate who wants to actually win the general election will never say that they must round up all illegals and ship them out. It’s NEVER going to happen.
However, simply making them legal enough to pay taxes we identify them and start some form of discussion in dealing with the problem in a way that will not make the GOP a minority party for a long time. Face it, the hispanic demographic is the fastest growing one because they actually have children instead of aborting them. There are real consequences to aborting the next generation. We are just starting to reap it now.
No argument from me.
Most perry supporters on FR are also for amnesty. Like Bush and Perry they claim it’s not amnesty if the illegals have to pay a fine first.
But I’m with you, Perry is an idiot!!
Bingo, bingo, bingo!
