States Rights? What a load of crap! I thought it was the feds job to protect us from illegals? So which is it?
I will continue to spit on any state and any politician that puts illegals before American citizens. You don't like it? Tough.
“Those who pretend they support the Constitution and then try to say the 10th amendment doesn’t matter are LIARS.f you don’t support the Constitution then YOU belong in Mexico.”
Well let’s see now, Rick Perry was Ok with same sex marriage and Romney care before he was against them, ala 10th amendment. I find it amusing that you think it’s ok for Texas to charge more for an Arizonan to attend a Texas college or university than an illegal alien who is breaking our laws. Sort of a warped mentality making that a 10th amendment issue. You probably agree with CA and IL gun control laws too because that’s a 10th amendment issue.
Your governor has a better sense of the illegal issue than Rick does and she’s just trying to enforce federal laws already on the books, not evade them. It’s a sad state of affairs when Romney is better on the wetback issue than Perry is.
Oh heck! I didn’t know there was a debate last night. I was out for the evening. Is there a link to a replay today
“..Then I hit your comment, and it just knocked me off-kilter.. instead of voicing thier dissapproval, they feel it necessary to make up some cute, infantile name for the candidate..”
I’m sorry, I should have called him Goodhair like I’ve done in numerous posts in the past. But next time focus on the substance of what I said regarding his performance on the gardasil issue. Also, if that knocked you off kilter, you either don’t participate on here very often, or you are too invested in Rick Perry.
If you follow the threads, you may note that I’ve recently said Perry was my second choice after Palin. I’m having second thoughts about that after his performance last nite on several issues.
Surely, you have seen people taking shots at Palin. Wake up!
His admitting that he couldnt be bought for a measly $5k was maybe a mite too telling.
His response to Bachmann was meant to be that he was offended by her assertions that he was paid by Merck to try to help prevent HVP by vaccinating kids who were hopefully pre-sexually active. .....As an earlier poster here indicated, Alaska has also recommended the Guardasil.
That kiss was very strange.
Huntsman is a girly man. In this debate, he looked so much like the kid who worked hard on a snappy comeback and was dying to use it in class in front of the guys who never let him hang out with them.
Paul just seems crazier and crazier. And, no, his most rabid supporters don’t have jobs, but they have fun getting stoned in mom’s basement.
“OMFG”? Please think about what you typed there. Very offensive to the name of the Lord.
Actually, I thought Little Wolfie — Dang! He’s as short as Bachman — did a pretty good job, considering his bias.
This was so much better than last week’s debate. Not really ‘gotcha’ questions, IMO. Nice touch, too, with the National Anthem as an opener.
I guess that depends on what you place in the “f’ and “g” spots, if I were speaking I would of said freaking gosh
Simple fact is, Texans decided they wanted this, if they decide they don't want it they'll reverse it.
You may have already been infected by a brain eating amoeba judging by the logic and bad-mouthing of that post. HPV causes warts, finger warts, nose warts, genital warts. HPV rarely causes cancer, nor does anything you posted say otherwise.
Almost all cervical cancer is associated with warts, yes, just as nearly of a few deadly skin cancers initiate at skin warts elsewhere on the body.
Of you get a wart does that mean you are dieing of cancer? NO! Because cancers rarely form from warts, most warts — caused by HPV — are benign.
Does it make you a “shitty” (your word) parent for NOT knowing that? Maybe.

Stop the spinning.
The granting of in-state tuition is only given to the illegals that have attended at least three years of public schooling and graduated from high school. Those people, if eligible to enter a college or university by their grades, STILL have to pay their tuition.
Look the closest one to Ronmey is Perry. Sarah marches to her own drummer. If she does not run...I don’t have a 2nd choice yet. I like Cain & Bachmann but they are both weak politically. I gave a hard time believing we can’t find better conservatives who are not all talk no action.
It’s been posted on here (repeatedly) that she won’t make it past Iowa. At this rate she won’t make it TO Iowa.
Her aides told him "we have no money to hire you". He said, "I will work for free."
The aid said, "in that case come on down!"
The rest as they say, is history.
He presided over the Fla Senate where he made his reputation as a super hard worker and consensus builder while maintaining conservative values.
His fight against Metro charlie Crist is legendary and almost Reaganesque. He knocked a sitting Governor out of the box and is now our proud Senator from Fla.
Being around the guy was awe inspiring for me. We(The Republican Executive Committee for the Keys) introduced him as the future President of the U.S. for his speech and it too was awesome.
That's just a little about Marco.
Gave me the creeps. ATD? His handlers should do something about that.
