Some have asked.. Hey! how about children of convicted felons serving time and unable to provide: Don't the children deserve some of that heart stuff? The kids didn't have anything to do with the parents crimes.

No college for them?

Maybe, instead of calling it the "Dream Act", they should have called it the "Sins of the Father Act".

The "Dream Act" does not provide free college. It allows a student that grew up in Texas during his high school years (through no fault of his own) to pay the in-state tuition rate.

The children, that grew up in Texas during their high school years, of the most despicable murder on Death Row in Texas pay ..... Guess what?

The in-state tuition rate.

As Governor Perry pointed out, "Out of 181 members of the Texas legislature when this issue came up [there were] only four dissenting votes. This was a state issue."

In a conservative state like Texas, when 98% of the State Legislature supports something, there must be some reasoning behind it. One of Perry's big problems is that, like George W. Bush, Perry does not bother to explain the facts and reasoning behind his actions.

As I have written from the beginning, Perry is the worst conservative candidate we have .... except for all the others. Other than Perry, there is no another single GOP candidate that has any realistic chance of beating Romney.

Those are the realistic choices for the GOP nomination: Perry or Romney.

Everything else is merely "Christine O'Donnell Will Kick Butt" thinking.

Oh, I forgot. There are also those that are expecting the Great Pumpkin to fly in some time in late October, enter the race and then magically coast all the way to the White House.
