Your post if offensive. Rick Perry has worked hard to combat illegal immigration. What Reagan Revolution? You mean the man who gave amnesty to all illegal aliens. You mean the man who also used to be a Democrat. It’s okay for Ronald Reagan to give amnesty, but if Rick Perry gives instate tuition to a limited number of illegals it discredits his over ten years of experience.

You are like the people who support and have supported Barack Obama. Facts are elastic and you stretch them to suit your concept of how it should be. Either Reagan and Perry are Communists, or they are patriots. I think they patriots.

It's blasphemous to compare Rick Perry to Ronald Reagan. Reagan was an intelligent man who majored in economics, and read and studied about history all his life. He made a fortune in the private sector, and only entered politics when he saw how the Demonrat Party was ruining America with socialism. Perry is a man of mediocre intelligence who would never have gone anywhere until he discovered the racket of politics, where a loud-mouthed con artist can attain prominence and power. Herman Cain is the one who is really like Reagan. Again, a man of high intelligence who studied math and computer science (while Perry was being a male cheerleader), made his fortune, and turned to politics late in life.

Without politics, Perry would be nothing. He has no technical skills and has never run a business. Career politicians like Rick have been the ruination of America. He is the answer to the question no conservative ever asked: "How can we get another 'compassionate liberal'...oops, I mean 'compassionate conservative,' in the White House? I so miss George Bush."

This is not 1986. The world has changed a LOT over the last 25 years.

Great post Essie. Well said.

The Perry-Myths continue, unabated I see. Rick Perry did not “just” give in state tuition subsidies to “some” illegals.

He rejected E-verify for ALL ILLEGALS. He rejected the Secure Fence Act for ALL ILLEGALS. He refused local law enforcement agencies to check for immigration status for ALL ILLEGALS. He supported the McCain Amnesty plan for ALL ILLEGALS. He kept the Texas HHS from verifying legal status before dishing out bennies for ALL ILLEGALS. He ran a sanctuary state for 10 years for ALL ILLEGALS.
