Some people on here are going to be disappointed that Gov Perry called Amnesty assinine since they berate him all the time as being a liberal.

This doesn’t look the least bit liberal to me.

Beginning to wonder about some posters that keep attacking all our elected officials with giving them little to no credit.

BTW, I really like Rick Perry.

It is all about the TTC- they look at that as giving in to some NWO, thus, pro-amnesty by default.

Perry took some heat for his “required” immunization for cervical cancer for young teenage girls, and rightly so.

He is quite easy on the eyes and the ears. Has he made any statements about Ramos & Compean? If he isn’t for clemency for these men, that will tell me a lot.

There were two things he tries to jam down the throats
of Texans that stick in a lot of our craws.

The big one is the trans Texas Tollway.

The other was the attempt to force the Gardasil vaccinations.

I’ll admit I’ve given Perry hell and honestly have never liked him. (from when he was Lt. Gov) (and he’s an Aggie)

As the late Ann Richards use to say, “He’ll do fine, he’s got nice hair”

I agree. I fled a democRAT state to come to Texas for a reason. Texas is what America used to be, and has jobs galore. I wonder if that has anything to do with the fact that Texas is run entirely by the GOP? < /rhetorical >

Anyone who thinks that Rick Perry is a liberal has issues with reality.

To be sure, Rick Perry has definitely made a few missteps as governor of Texas (I know of no one in public life who hasn't made a few somewhere along the line.) but he isn't making one by taking this stance!

I know there are those in Texas who will disagree but I wouldn't have a problem supporting him should he decide to seek a higher office in the future.

The problem with Perry is that he talks out of both sides of his mouth.

I would argue that ones actions speak louder than words and one need not look any further than the programs he's promoted on colonias to understand what's going on.

And don't misunderstand, all the colonia programs are Perry's babies, lock, stock and barrel.

Okay, I like what I hear so far, but have to wonder how long he’ll survive in such a hostile 'national' environment. I lived in Texas for over 7 years and know it is populated by a people not to be trifled with, but how long can they endure?

[achilles2000]

As a Texan, I detest Rick Perry. He is a spender, a taxer, and a liar. He does, however, have good hair.

[rlferny]

For some republicans - no candidate is ever good enough or conservative as them.

It’s the Michael Savage Syndrome.

Will Perry say to illegals, “Adios, Mofo!”

[kabar]

It depends on what Perry means by the word “amnesty.” McCain said his plan wasn’t an amnesty. Obama is against amnesty. Has Perry said specifically how he will treat the 12 to 20 million illegals already here? That is the real litmus test. If he says they must get to the back of the line, pay a fine, and learn English, this is an amnesty. Anything that allows the illegals to stay and work here is an amnesty.
