LeRue Tactical is in Leander? I guess I need to check them out when I have time. That is less than 25 miles from home!
Thank you for the insightful reply.
WRT Perry, one of the predominant complaints that many here in Texas who are notoriously hard to please have about him is exactly what you ask - that he veers right at election time then veers back towards the center after he wins.
I have not noticed that. I think it’s just that a lot more policy items come up during the 3 1/2 years of governing than are spoken about in the 1/2 year of campaigning for Governor. Some of those items the notoriously hard to please disagree with strongly, and those items are what these folk remember.
I don’t agree with Perry on a number of things, but I do find him consistent and conservative, overall.
IF you'd rather NOT be pinged FReepmail me.
IF you'd like to be added FReepmail me. Thanks.
ROTFLMAO!!!
Like Pavlovs’ pooches they will come slobbering....I haven’t even read the thread yet. Call it intuition.
Out of Huckabee, Romney or McCain.....it’s a wash.
But Perry is also well aware that strident anti-illegal immigration rhetoric will also be resented--and opposed--by many Hispanic voters, because ethnicity can be seen as the focus, instead of illegality. And THAT is why he has to be slow and deliberate when he takes aim at the issue of illegal immigration, and not end up shooting himself in the foot during his "race to the White House".
And thanks for sharing your thoughts: they are well-reasoned and refreshingly sane!
I’m trying to retrain myself to ask “What is the time?” rather than “What time is it?”.
It’s slow going, but I’m making some progress!
OOPS! Grammatical correctness would require me to rephrase that:
"...steering our great 'ship of state' away from the 'iceberg' INTO which the Left seems so hell-bent on sending it."
But that just sounds weird! And Strunk and White's ELEMENTS OF STYLE--my "bible" for grammar and proper wording of phrases--prepositional and otherwise--would probably agree.
What? In 2004?
How about this, since the thrust of the argument is that Perry should have predicted the financial crisis of 2008 as much as you should have... why didn’t you do anything to let the Texas Republican party know about the upcoming disaster?
Why did you keep your mouth shut about this? How many Americans did you callously leave open to losing their retirements? By staying quiet, you let the collapse happen... which let Obama into power.
Not so much fun is it when the logic of the argument is pointed at you...
Remove illegals access to the free government bennies that make America more beneficial to live in as opposed to their home country. So no bilingual education for their children, no Medicare/Medicaid, no welfare, no low-income housing, etc, etc, etc.
And they will buy their own bus/train/plane/boat tickets home. Those that stay are here to make a better life for themselves and their children. They are the one’s working and contributing to America. And they are the one’s we want to keep.
>>What? In 2004?
That’s right genius.
2004 — 3 years AFTER the Obama National Finance Chairwoman Penny Pritzker’s Chicago Family-owned bank went bankrupt from doing Sub-prime loans in 2001.
So much for Fithcal Conthervatism.
If he comes out and says he will secure our borders and deport the ILLEGALS then maybe I will vote for him.
Otherwise no deal.
Not hitting what I aim at is a result up with which I shall not put.
vs
I won’t put up with not hitting what I aim at.
How’s that for construction? English is difficult; it’s easier in Texan.
Absolutely LOVE IT!!
Better than an OKIE . . . Hitting not the target for I have exhausted putting up with that which I shan’t. No, that’s not Okie!
Yours I will instead use.
Well, then... he’s halfway towards getting your support. As he has long called for securing the border with more surveillance plus the needed boots on the ground to actually intercept the illegals.
He hasn’t come out yet in favor of deportation. Something I don’t support as that’ll cost a ton of Federal dollars. The post you replied to has my view on what to do. Get the illegals to deport *THEMSELVES*.
Not keep the bennies in place that attract ‘em, then pay to deport them. For they’ll just try again.
