I can only hope that governor Perry disagrees with her. With democRAT govs in Arizona and New Mexico coming out for increased border defense, this is all the Republicans need. Sheesh!

"I sympathize with those coming over who want to put a roof over their heads," Strayhorn told the Greater Houston Pachyderm Club.

Illegal aliens had roofs over their heads in their home countries before they came to the United States.

Immigrants, legal or otherwise, come to Texas to "put a roof over their heads" and Texas has a responsibility to provide them education and health care once they are here, Republican gubernatorial candidate Carole Keeton Strayhorn told a conservative GOP group today.

Gee Dane...I guess Strayhorn and Fox must REALLY make you damp!

Let's try a little experiment...let's see if a few words changed can make this gobbledygook more sensible...

ImmigrantsBank Robbers/Rapists/Murderers/Drug Dealers, legal or otherwise, come to Texas to "put a roof over their heads" and Texas has a responsibility to provide them education and health care once they are here, Republican gubernatorial candidate Carole Keeton Strayhorn told a conservative GOP group today.

Yup...still makes PERFECT sense...better stop locking your doors, Dane...some Immigrant, legal or otherwise, might just want some of what you have in your home...can't deny them that, right?

Wow. Kiss that sick scumbag Strayhorn "goodbye".

[cpdiii]

Bye Bye Carol Strayhorns political future, it is over baby! :)

[Abcdefg]

What is Kinky's opinion?

[wardaddy]

Moonbat for Governor.

Did she just crap in her campaigin' pants or what?

"I sympathize with those coming over who want to put a roof over their heads," Strayhorn told the Greater Houston Pachyderm Club. "We can't turn them away from the hospital steps."

So, Ms. Strayhorn, you're saying you sympathize with criminals? How about the guy that robbed the convenience store the other evening? He a criminal just like the invaders from Mexico. Do you sympathize with him, too?

[brytlea]

I have a fabulous idea. Any of us who just need a roof over our heads etc should just show up at Strayhorn's home. I'm sure she will let us squat there!
Sheesh, this is getting totally ridiculous. Is there not a single politician who is not willing to sell out for a few votes?
susie

[Sen Jack S. Fogbound]

She is way to the LEFT RINO! I'm not real thrilled with Perry but I will vote for him in a heartbeat over Strayhorn!

We DO NOT OWE then ANYTHING who comes into our country ILLEGALLY!

Now GROW UP, Strayhorn! This is Texas, dammit!

[devane617]

Holy crap Carole! This is a joke right?

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

Statement: "Strayhorn says state has responsibility to immigrants"

Response: Translation. "You suckers pay, I'll play!"(At your expense)

[devane617]

There are huge articles in todays, Dallas Morning News about II, as well as another big article in today's Miami Hearld about giving drivers license ti II's.

Is the Republican party really this much out of touch?

[Bigun]

Immigrants, legal or otherwise, come to Texas to "put a roof over their heads" and Texas has a responsibility to provide them education and health care once they are here, Republican gubernatorial candidate Carole Keeton Strayhorn told a conservative GOP group today.

If there was any possibility (there wasn't) that this fast talking idiot would get my vote it just went up in smoke with that statement!

[America's Resolve]

Strayhorn, in taking a welcoming tone to immigrants from Mexico, is trying to find voters outside the traditional Republican primary-voting base, which is made up of conservative voters, said Bob Stein, political scientist at Rice University.

In what way is this different from Galloway and Chirac pimping from Muslim votes?

I don't want the Repubs to pander to the illegal base anymore. They do this country harm, even if they do themselves good.

"Immigrants, legal or otherwise, come to Texas to "put a roof over their heads" and Texas has a responsibility to provide them education and health care once they are here, Republican gubernatorial candidate Carole Keeton Strayhorn told a conservative GOP group today."

She may be a Republican, but she's obviously not a conservative. First, Carole, baby, government has no RESPONSIBILITY to provide education and health care even to its own citizens. To claim it has a responsibility to do so to people who have illegally invaded our country is insane.

This woman should not be merely voted down, she should be ridden on a rail out of Texas into Narco Laredo.

[Happy2BMe]

Crazy and stray as a loon - and wanting to join the ever-growing OBL Governor's Club . .

You can only imagine what these people discuss in their hidden round table meetings before they go public with this stuff.

Here is a yet another champion of the 'New and Improved' Compassionate Republican . .

==============================================

Immigrants, legal or otherwise, come to Texas to "put a roof over their heads" and Texas has a responsibility to provide them education and health care once they are here, Republican gubernatorial candidate Carole Keeton Strayhorn told a conservative GOP group today.

In a week when the governors of Arizona and New Mexico declared states of emergency for counties along their border with Mexico, citing the "ravages and terror" caused by illegal immigration, Strayhorn took a conciliatory tone on the same issue. But she also said the state needs help from the federal government.

[Puddleglum]

Maybe our old friend jveritas can weigh in and opine on this, the fruit of Republican ascendancy.

[hispanarepublicana]

After having watched Strayhorn for a few months, I'm convinced she's being paid by Gov. Perry to run a really bad campaign, shoot her mouth off every chance she gets, and keep anyone else from running against him in the upcoming Republican gubernatorial primary. < /tinfoil >

[Sloth]

Strayhorn said, noting that federal law requires states to provide education and health care to immigrants.

Illegal immigrants? What federal law is this?
