I don't agree with the decisions Perry made here, but I do recognize that as governor he had to make some tough decisions that others might not like. He deserves some credit for showing leadership and taking tough stands.

Cain, on the other hand, has no record of tough decisions in government. I'm not going to give him a pass. He hasn't earned it.

Amen Clarity!

Principle reason Obama is a failed president is because of his inability to use carrots when he had both sticks and carrots in his quiver. The Tea Party took away his quiver now, and no one gives a damn what he says, as evidence his so-called $450 billion “jobs” plan that even the Dems won’t touch with a 10-foot pole.

On the other hand, had Obama been savvy, he’d generated some goodwill with the Republicans when he had the carrots to hand out.

It's not a matter of our "liking" or "disliking" his acts. It's a matter of a political machine in Texas which is facilitating crime, and in the process leading ultimately to TX going the way of CA, and the U.S. going the way of both. So-called "Hispanics" vote 3:1 for Demonrats. Third World immigration lowers the average educational achievement and IQ of the U.S. population, and sets the stage for the kind of ethnic conflicts we see in every single other nation where peoples of different cultures are place in proximity.

Now that statement is simply brilliant!
