I agree that Sarah Palin is better on immigration than Perry is. I’m not sure she’s better on all the issues, but she’s better on that one.
In any event, I would definitely support Palin for President.
Perry/Palin, Palin/Perry, Perry, Palin... any order, any running mate.
Although I have criticized Palin on her support for McCain in 2010 (which I thought was over-the-top) I have NEVER attacked her. EVER.
I don’t feel the need to.
Why you and the other Perry-haters have such a vicious streak on the subject of Perry is honestly beyond me. Really, really beyond me.
I hate Ron Paul. But I don’t work 24/7 looking for Ron Paul threads to jump on and crap all over with Mexican-style graffiti.
I just don’t see the point of that.
No hate here I will vote for whomever is the nominee but for sure I have a preference.
I hope to fight for my candidate and then turn all attention to Obama and taking the Senate and many more House seats.
I will always try to “Keep It Classy.”
Sarah Palin was never in charge of a border state.
I don't see how you could know. She's been asked a couple of times about it, but afterwards, we got into arguments over what she actually said, and there is still disagreement on what her real position is.
NumbersUsa gave her a "D" grade. That IS slightly better than Perry's "D-", but mostly because they said Perry needed to write down his plan for Border Security before they gave him an "excellent" on that issue. Also, he does have that one big thing they hade -- the texas dream act.
If she announces for President, she'll have to explain exactly what she wants to do with illegals, she'll explain her plan for border security, she'll comment on sanctuary cities, on guest worker programs, and on legal immigration and how to make it work.
Her record in Alaska isn't revealing. She never stopped "sanctuary cities" in Alaska, but they hardly have a problem with illegals. And her borders don't have walls, but they are with Canada, not Mexico.
So we know more about how Perry reacted as a state leader in a state with a large LEGAL hispanic population, on a border that is critical to the economic success of the state. That doesn't inform us as to how he'd act as President, although we can see some of it in what, as Governor, he has asked for the feds to do.
And everything he has asked from the federal government has been strongly against illegal immigration. He has called for border security, for the feds to pay for housing the illegals that are arrested, for the feds to deport the illegals texas is holding. He has called for rejecting the federal dream act, he is against giving a path to citizenship for illegals, and filed an amicus brief in SUPPORT of the Arizona law that the feds were attacking.
