I agree. Romney may be a flip flopper, but he is not a blowhard phony like Perry. That said, any of the candidates would be better than what we have now. But whoever wins the support of Independents will win the election, and that person will not be Perry.

Independents are irrelevant ~ most of the time and especially so in this election.

THREAD HIJACK ALERT (cue Perrynistas foaming at the mouth):

"No Ma'am," Perry replied the other day when asked whether he signed on to support Obama's $800 Bill TARP giveaway.......even as the letter w/ Perry's signature goes viral.

================================================

Sucking up to illegals is a HUGE game-changer for Perry. Fox news clip showed Frank Luntz's responders as resoundingly pro-Perry UNTIL amnesty raised its ugly head. The responders suggested that Perry's sucking up to illegals disqualifies him for the presidency. Perry was cheered UNTIL the amnesty question surfaced---that's when he was loudly booed by the Tea Party debate audience.

"Captain Gardasil" addresses La Raza.

"Come on down. You get in-state tuition at any Texas college, government
checks made out to all your identities, and 'raza studies' in every school."

RAZA STUDIES: Anti-Americanism Disguised as Ethnic Studies

The Tucson Unified School District (TUSD) is in a contentious fight with the state of Arizona over its controversial Mexican-American Studies program---known as “raza studies,”---- agit-prop of the far left La Raza, coming to a school near you. A state law went into effect in Arizona on January 1, 2011, banning the teaching of ethnic studies in K-12 schools. It was prompted by an investigation into TUSD’s ethnic studies curriculum by Arizona Attorney General Tom Horne when he was State Superintendent of Schools.

The program is known as “raza studies,” which means race studies, championed by organizations like the far left organization National Council of La Raza. The course does not simply teach Latino youth about their heritage, it goes well beyond that. The textbooks teach Latino youth that they are mistreated by America, training them to become radical anti-American activists.

Textbooks include “The Pedagogy of the Oppressed” and “Occupied America.” Another text "gloats over the difficulties our country is having at enforcing its immigration laws." Benjamin Franklin is vilified as a racist. White people are referred to as “gringos” and “oppressors” of Latino people. “Privilege” is described as related to a person’s ethnicity.

At a TUSD school board meeting on May 10, one upset mother read excerpts from the textbook An Epic Poem: " My land is lost and stolen, My culture has been raped......we have to destroy capitalism…overthrow a government that has committed abuses….to the bloodsuckers, the parasites, the vampires who are the capitalists of the world: The schools are tools of the power structure that blind and sentence our youth to a life of confusion, and hypocrisy, one that preaches assimilation and practices institutional racism."--SNIP--
