Oh, but Saint Sarah pretty got much the same grade. People don’t agree with Gov. Perry on one issue and they are determined to smear and beat him into the ground. Sick.
CORRECTION: ***got pretty much***
All I can say is Obama is stuck at -22 in the Rasmussen daily tracking poll 4 days in a row!
Some of them are more about candidates not yet having a record, and not having made a lot of comments about it, especially how they will handle it at a national level.
For example, Sarah Palin has a “D”. Let’s face it, you don’t deal with a lot of immigration issues as Governor of Alaska, so there’s not much to go on with her record. She’s made some statements, but she hasn’t put together a campaign platform yet.
I presume that if she enters, she’ll have a page on her web site where she details her intentions, and then it will be easier to rank her.
On the other hand, I have to wonder exactly how much this particular group is pushing for, when the BEST score for any possible presidential candidate is Bachman’s B-. They have set a pretty high bar, I think.
Figures someone who idolizes big spending amnesty loving GWB enough to put him in his handle would also support Perry.
Oh I love how they lump illegal immigration with legal immigration. That’s grand.
The problem is that issue will determine the fate of this country more than any other, because of its impact on elections.
I almost forgot that not only is Ron Paul fine with Iran getting a nuke, but he is open borders.
D- for Perry
D for Palin
C+ for Pawlenty (who’s gone now)
B- for Bachmann
(Bachmann WINS!!!)
Looks to me like they’re lumping ALL immigration into their grading system? Also looks like a candidate not saying anything about a particular issue (such as tackling refugee fraud) is counted against them.
Palin has said that immigrants should stand in line and follow the law. If someone could come up with a stance like that by Perry......
Did grade did Reagan, the greatest President of the 20th century get?
Legal immigration is actually a bigger problem than illegal immigration in terms of its long term impact on this country.
Time for a separate forum section called
“Rick Perry wants to give back the Alamo and build mosques”
The issue is where that line begins. Palin has supported an amnesty in the past.
what we were talking about....borders and Texas
but on Texas...it’s a weird place politically...yes extremely Mexercan
but a few do not go Left...I don’t think TexMexercans vote like blacks ...but at least 2/3rds do...maybe more..GOP there tend to hype the numbers
But what impressed me is aside from Austin, Texans seem a lot like me ideologically...much more so than here in Nashville which is just like Austin.
I spent 3 days in June in Dallas...lotsa eating and shopping in Highland Park, lower McKinney , NorthPark etc and seeing kinfolks...we were astounding that most of the white folks we were talking to were at least culturally like we were...God, hunting, pissed at Obama and not keen on multiculturalism...even on hyper rich Turtle Creek
now in Nashville...no way...the tony areas are eat up with libs...a high roller GOP family here and there like the Ingrams or Frists but many are rich lib Californians and other outsiders and a lot of young and old formerly yellow and now blue dogs locally reared
I can say that Dallas is the most culturally conservative big city I have been in around whites...maybe even more so than Salt Lake
problem is the minorities dilute that but here in 28% black Nashville, the whites are majority libs...and not very Southern anymore....I heard my accent more often than not in Dallas amongst whites...in Nashville I notice when folks speak like me
I found that interesting...some big D folks here might explain I’m wrong..and I will listen...I lived in Dallas in late 50s as a child in an apt off Preston...and went there several times a year growing up (from Jackson MS)...it was my big city...and was extremely conservative then...the good ol days
Allowing amnesty for illegal immigrants to happen will succeed in turning the entire U.S. into a third world country, possibly forever. Amnesty for illegal immigrants, just by itself and with all of its problems, will ruin the U.S., as a country.
No wonder the grades are low. This outfit has an agenda.
NumbersUSA is an immigration reduction organization whose intent is to reduce the United States’ annual immigration to pre-1965 levels, without country of origin quotas as established in the Immigration Act of 1924.
