I LOVE Savage but he changes his mind like a person (besides the Wall St. protestors, change underwear). His latest candidate is Herman Cain.
You are from Texas, Rick Perry is your God, you love him, worship him and think he is the best thing since Jesus Christ. I understand that.
I'm from Illinois. I met Barack Obama, I got his autograph and I voted for John McCain, so I'm not blinded by statehood. But I do understand that SOME Texans are STATISTS, meaning if Hutchinson was running you'd vote for her over Ronald Reagan.
You have a great state, you have a Governor who LOVES illegals. One of my best friends what shot in the head and killed instantly getting off a simple train commute from work by an illegal alien FROM MEXICO (THAT PLACE THAT BORDERS YOUR STATE!!!) and YOUR WONDERFUL GOVERNOR SAINT PERRY says I'm heartless.
TexMom7, I pray you and the Perrybots get what happened to the Rudybots and Romneybots. If it happened I'd contribute my life savings to Free Republic to see you all purged.
An illegal alien killed my best friend and YOUR GOVERNOR says I'm heartless for not supporting illegal aliens. So yeah, bash abuse if you want. But when you hear your best friend got a bullet in his head because he was white and you are told by a pompous politician that you are HEARTLESS for opposing illegals?
How DARE you!!! When you lose a friend come back to me and tell me how wonderful your ILLEGAL PANDERING GOVERNOR IS!!!
And you can bash abuse but guess what, people my age know how to make multiple avatars to fight you monsters... I would sacrifice my 10 years on FR to defeat your disgusting, illegal pandering, BASTARD, Governor who I would link directly to the murder of my best friend for his sanctuary policies!!!
So screw Savage and screw anyone who supports illegal aliens you can all rot for all I care. I lost a best friend you lost nothing...
If anything I lost almost all respect for many Texas FReepers who are blind by faith to an illegal panderer! I live in Illinois and live in CROOK COUNTY! HOME OF OBAMA! And I fight! You support a man who says myself and everyone I've pinged is heartless because we want illegals to go home!!!
PS: Maybe Fieldmarshaldj can share his experience in Tennessee about the illegals your wonderful Governor loves so much!!!
Rick Perry is not my God.
He’s my Governor.
I don’t support Hutchinson at all - never have and never voted for her ever.
Ron Paul is my congressman. Voted for him many times but not for President.
I voted for Reagan and he gave illegals amnesty.
I’m very sorry you lost your friend. I really am.
However, your anger should be put toward the Federal Government not Perry.
You call me names and want to pray for me yet you are in a rage.
You have become bitter and I will no longer discuss this with you.
You should be THANKFUL Governor Perry has done so much to keep illegal aliens out of our country and to protect us all!

Gov. Perry works with the 16-member Texas Border Sheriff’s Association to deter illegal immigration and prevent border-related crime - Creates ‘Operation Linebacker” - Awards $6 Million to Border Counties for Border Security (2005)
http://governor.state.tx.us/news/press-release/2558/
Gov. Rick Perry today announced the award of $6 million in grants to strengthen security along the Texas-Mexico border. The funds will support Operation Linebacker, an initiative developed by the 16-member Texas Border Sheriff’s Association to deter illegal immigration and prevent border-related crime.
(snip)
“There can be no homeland security without border security,” Perry said. “Operation Linebacker makes sense because it gives new tools and resources to local law enforcement, the experts in the unique security challenges of the border.” The Texas Border Sheriff’s Coalition, which will receive $120,000 in grant funds, will coordinate the effort and develop specialized security plans for the unique needs of each county.
(snip)
In October Perry released a comprehensive, six-point border security plan that featured Operation Linebacker and also called for expedited efforts to achieve radio communications interoperability in the region, improved information technology, bilateral emergency response exercises, and legislative measures to enhance border security.

Gov. Perry Implements and Leads Operation Border Star
http://www.texastribune.org/texas-mexico-border-news/operation-border-star/about/
Operation Border Star is the most current iteration of Gov. Rick Perry’s state-led border security operations.
Perry began awarding grants to border sheriffs in 2006 to help them buy equipment and pay officers overtime to patrol rural areas of the Texas-Mexico border between ports of entry. The goal of the program is to increase law enforcement presence and deter crime on the border.
The first effort was called Operation Linebacker, and border deputies were assigned to serve as a second line of defense for U.S. Border Patrol agents on the Rio Grande.
(snip)
Operation Border Star was launched in 2007. Local and state agencies were provided grant funds to pay officers overtime to beef up border patrols and to coordinate intelligence gathering about crime on the border. The local and state agencies also coordinate and share information with federal agencies.

Gov. Perry Expanding Operation Border Star – Sends Rangers, Guard to the Border (2009)
Gov. Rick Perry is expanding Operation Border Star, a multi-agency border security effort he launched in 2007, sending teams of Texas Rangers and National Guard troops to curb border crime and prevent spillover violence from Mexico.
“This is the latest in a series of aggressive actions we’ve taken to fill the gap left by the federal government’s ongoing failure to adequately secure our international border,” Perry announced in Houston.
He also reissued his call for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to send more National Guard troops to the border and said he has sunk another $2 million into his border Web camera program.
(snip)
Perry also briefly noted that he had awarded another $2 million grant to operate surveillance cameras on the border.
The Tribune reported yesterday that Perry had made the $2 million award to the Texas Border Sheriffs Coalition despite documents that showed the camera program failed to meet nearly all of its law enforcement goals during the first full year it was operational.
Perry’s office argues that the camera program didn’t miss its goals but that the targets were improperly set at the outset of the first $2 million grant. The targets were revised after the first year; after the changes, they closely match that year’s actual results
