Erick Erickson is a Rick Perry hack who only supports candidates that will give his site, Redstate, the time of day. Notice he’s started to warm up to Huntsman now that he gave Redstate an interview.

Rick Perry is a sanctuary city loving doofus and the only candidate we have that could not beat Obama in a debate.

Erickson has not been consistently on board with Perry. I read his blogs so I know.

Regarding your misinformation about Perry (again) Rick Perry ordered a special session re "sanctuary cities" -- the legislature (who are looking at their viability) dropped the ball and went home. Also, Rick Perry supports E-verify done right -- as of now the database is inaccurate and the procedure is burdensome on small businesses -- it doesn't work.

In his own words:

"“I agree that some kind of electronic verification system is needed so we can make sure employers comply with the law not to hire illegal immigrants. E-Verify is a federal government created and run program, and as a result there have been a number of problems with it so far. The Department of Homeland Security estimated the system could fail to identify more than half of all illegal immigrants.

But just because it has problems doesn’t mean we should throw employee verification out. It means we should make it work. Employee verification needs to be accurate so American citizens aren’t denied jobs based on bad data and undocumented immigrants don’t slip through the system. And it needs to be less cumbersome for employers to use, so it’s not costing them money they could be using to create jobs.

So as president, I’d work to put in place an E-Verify system that’s more accurate, less burdensome and really delivers the results we need it to.”

This is the single most ignorant statement I have seen on Free Republic in months. And that's saying something.

"Erick Erickson is a Rick Perry hack..."

Why did you change the subject?

Rather than resourting to ad hominum attacks --(which means you have already lost the argument) --devote your time to debunking the evidence presented backing up the assertion that "Santorum is a 'pro-life' statist", if you hope to have credibility with intellectually honest people.
