Locked and loaded. You are woefully and, apparently, willfully uninformed.

If you truly want to know, stay on Perry links and you will eventually know all.

If you want to snipe, we’ll ignore you.

One, you apparently know nothing whatsoever about the Texas border. Part of it is the Rio Grande River. A fence can’t be built there. Governor Perry is for a multi-faceted approach which would involve some fencing where it would be valuable, troops on the border, surveillance by air and other sophisticated methods. he’s outlined all this.

Debates don’t give one time to explain complicated issues but he has discussed this in many interviews on television and in many speeches.

He is not on record for financially supporting illegal immigrants. If you are talking about the in-state tuition program, gosh, I feel so weary.

That has been explained so many times. It is not financial support. It simply allows US born chldren of illegals to attend Texas colleges at the in-state tuition rate. They pay the same as any other Texan. Even the bastion of liberalism, the Dallas Morning News said this is a benefit to colleges as they get more tuition.

If you mean that native born children of illegals are eligible for certain welfare benefits, that is a national law. I could discuss this more fully with you if you have a genuine interest.

This is a completely ridiculous statement. It can't be build in the river? It can't be build right off of it? What about 100m inland? 200m? A mile? Weak B.S.

It is not financial support. It simply allows US born chldren of illegals to attend Texas colleges at the in-state tuition rate.

These statements are contradictory. I'm a citizen of WA state. Can I get in-state tuition in TX? No? I'm the child of illegal aliens. Can I get in-state tuition now? Hmmm....

Even the bastion of liberalism, the Dallas Morning News said this is a benefit to colleges as they get more tuition.

A liberal newspaper likes taxpayer money being spent to offset the costs of illegal aliens? Color me shocked.

Look, Perry might be a great candidate, but I get really annoyed at the hero worship when he hasn't earned it. For all we know, TX is in great shape b/c it's legislature meets so infrequently. He deserves scrutiny, not cheerleaders, as is true for all of the candidates.

Plus, with the whole Gardasil debacle, can we REALLY trust him to dump ObamaCare? Maybe we can, but I'm not convinced. Romney talks a big game about killing ObamaCare, too, and I don't believe a word he says.
