“Jerry DeLemus, chairman of the Granite State Patriots Liberty PAC, a tea party umbrella group, described the Texas answer as “wrong-headed” and a “big negative” against Perry’s White House hopes. Katrina Pierson, a member of the Dallas Tea Party’s steering committee, said “Governor Perry has not met the standards, for me, to be the President of the United States if he can’t even address the real issues here in Texas.””
If Perry can’t read the tea leaves on his porous border position, then indeed he has not met the standard.
Continued mass third world immigration is not a recipe for success.
I think he can, but considering he has made a career of pandering to ILLEGAL aliens it would hardly be practical or acceptable to his faithful leftist followers to reverse course now.
He has positioned himself as the pro-ILLEGAL alien candidate; that can and will cost him the support of true conservatives and I don't mean these liberal Giuliani retreads who support him here.
Of note; this thread is hours old and not a single liberal Perry supporter has bothered to chime in and defend their pro-ILLEGAL alien hero.
