OK, you anti-Perry types, he isn't perfect, but you gotta like this.

Get back to me when he quits with the symbolism and actually supports effective means of enforcement, you know, like:

1. A Texas AZ1070(Which he was against)
2. Using E-Verify to deny employment in Texas(Which he is against)
3. A Border Fence/Wall(Which he is against)

Get back to me when Mr. Symbolism gets serious about ending Illegal Immigration.

Mr. Symbolism, as you call him may very well be the last, great hope of the republican, ie. conservative party. Who's your favorite nominee?

Bottom line, anyone but 0bama!

It would be a lot more impressive if he had been protecting the border and billing the feds for that.

Get back to us when your candidate announces she ‘may be interested in becoming a presidential candidate for the election to be held in 2012’. We’ll wait but will not hold our collective breath.

His first term he was pretty hard nosed. He proposed two major initiatives- Operation Linebacker and Operation Rio Grande. They would have authorized State law enforcement to crack down on illegals and put the Texas National Guard on the border. In both cases, he was shot down by the Feds (Bush Administration sadly) as being out of the State’s jurisdiction.

He isn’t a Tom Tancredo or Duncan Hunter on border issues, but he isn’t a Bush either.

Sr El Perrista receives a blanket from Mexican Gov Enrique Martinez of Coahuila, as a token of appreciation for enacting the Texican Dream Act.

We must elect him first to find out exactly where he stands.!

Hey, it worked for the Budget too!

I'm sick of all this second guessing on Conservatism.
Conservatism is what it is, and there isn't RINO in Conservatism.
