This is typical libtard tactics....so we know what types we’re dealing with...
Any mention of the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders requires a picture of them as part of your post. It’s Freeper rules, you must obey.
Yeah, well over.
"There has always been an agenda with this perverted, powerful leftist movement with various names but same agenda."
It's actually not 'leftist', it's satanic. Genesis is true and so is Revelation. And everything in between.
"Being a Christian...I do not put my hope in man completely, but every hundred years or so some brilliant mind/saint appears. I don’t suppose Perry is that guy though."
All I want from Perry is a t-shirt that says "Perry for President" with a picture of Perry the Platypus. :-)
Your’s,saxxxonwoods, is the most logical post on the thread;contains no vitriol, no adulation, just commonsense.
Reagan would never have spoken to me as you have done. Unfortunately too many FReepers have not learned that you catch more flies with honey than you do with vinegar! Incidentally, I worked very hard in two of his campaigns to get Ronald Wilson Reagan elected in my precinct, and the city where I lived in those days was, and still is, extremely left wing.
So I repeat, give me substance every time. President Reagan had both real star quality AND genuine substance, but very few people do. Shame on you.
No, they don't. Everyone has to earn their way in, whether legal or illegal.
Yup. Just like rino rick. :(
No, it just means that there are now more kids competing for the same number of seats in the classrooms. And by not paying out of state tuition rates, they’re receiving an incentive that was normally reserved for the children of taxpaying residents of the state(s).
That’s my problem with these “DREAM” Acts (CA & TX). A larger pool of applicants means less kids accepted.
Which kids do you think are going to get the “sympathy” acceptance letters? The white Americans or the brown illegals?
In CA, the taxpayers are soon to be on the hook to pay for those illegals to bump our kids out of college, if Gov. moonbeam signs that pos legislation.
First you infer that star power among GOP candidates is not worth remembering because in your opinion, its a non factor. Now you agree with me about Reagan and his star power being formidable. So which is it? You can't have it both ways.
We know you don't like Perry. And you said, you're "leaning toward Bachmann, Santorum and Cain" but I have my doubts. Besides, none of them can win. IIRC, the last time around you supported the liberal, Myth Romney. Would you consider supporting him in 2012?
It sounds to me like Perry jumped the shark then. If a Oklahoma citizen wants into a Texas school he is slammed with an out of state tuition in Texas but not an illegal from Texas. That, to me, is criminal and Perry should be embarrassed instead of proud. This kind of stuff really irks me. CA is about to do the same.
That is a state issue. The Texas Legislature passed it with flying colors - only 4 nays. Perry would not be able to change that even if he wanted to.
This Act was only for Texas.
It involves approx 8,000 to 12,000 kids per year and only gives them approx $500-1000 off tuition fees. They have to pay their tuition and there is nothing else to it.
I don’t have to vote for him even though it is a Texas only issue. It is the same nasty act that they are doing here in CA. It is the same issue. Illegals pay less (from mexico or whereever) than a citizen child from another state. It makes you want to scream. We have a “flying colors”
Assembly and Senate here in CA. They are certifiable.
>Get over yourself already. You’ve beren actin like a prima donna for too long. Ect, ect,c.<
Reagan man, how old are you 17? Did your high school education ream out a;; common sense, and who is responsible for your utter lack of good manners? My opinion is as valid as anyone else’s on Free Republic. I do not personally attack my fellow FReepers. But neither do I roll over for them.
Ronald Reagan had a record to stand on, first as a clean cut screen personality, and later as governor of California for several terms. He was pretty much a known entity when he decided first to run for the presidency.
Until recently, I had never heard of Rick Perry. I am trying to learn about him, but rather than supplying the facts about him, his FReeper supporters can only stoop to the same old name calling insults as did those of you who jumped like fleas that complete globolist, RINO, Freddi Dalton Thompson.
I am not a Mormon. I have never supported Mitt Romney. In fact, I coined the phrase “Malibu Ken” to describe the man i8n 2008! So stick that in your pipe asnd smoke itk, little man. And for heaven/’s sake, get over yourself!
Okla does not offer in state tuition to Texas students either.
There are some who are offered in-state tuition from a few other states - read below.
Residency Requirements for In-State Tuition in Texas has exceptions:
A non-resident may qualify to pay in-state tuition if:
The student or student’s spouse or parent is a member of the Armed Forces or a commissioned officer of the Public Health Service and is stationed in Texas. (Military and Public Health Service personnel who maintain their official home of record as Texas or who meet the criteria for establishing a domicile in Texas are considered to be Texas residents. Contact the Office of Undergraduate Admissions for specific requirements.)
The student or student’s spouse or parent is employed at least half-time as a teaching or research assistant in a position related to the assistant’s degree program at a Texas public institution of higher education.
The student or student’s spouse or parent is employed at least half-time on a regular monthly salaried basis as a teacher or professor at a Texas public institution of higher education.
The student holds an approved competitive scholarship from Texas State of at least $1000 for the academic year or summer awarded by an official Texas State scholarship committee.
The student or student’s spouse or parent has located in Texas as an employee of a business or organization that became established in this state as part of the state economic development and diversification program.
The student is a New Mexico resident who resides in a county bordering Texas.
The student is a Louisiana resident who resides in a parish bordering Texas.
Regardless of what these morons think, in 20/20, GWB was the most conservative Domestic agenda President ever elected.
His HONESTY (on Social(ist In)Security), is the reason Perry is palatable.
(and does anyone even recognize that Obama is governing according to the Bush Doctrine? I missed that acknowledgment)
Here’s the deal
Perry Is PREFERABLE, for one reason only.
‘If you cross Perry, he will get even.’
No regrets, Coyote
I just get off up aways
You just picked up a hitcher

I was told that Perry had virtually no choice in the matter, it was veto proof. Yet, if Perry is as conservative and anti-illegal immigration as we’re being told, he would have forced the legislature to over ride his veto of this legislation.
Instead, it appears he’s since endorsed it and embraced it.
I’m still reading up on this, but the crux of the matter for me is that another pool of bodies has now been entered into the mix for applications to state schools that doesn’t deserve to be there.
But then again, it’s Texas’ burden and soon to be CA’s.
I just don’t want to see this become the USA’s burden if he becomes President and decides something like this would be “the right thing to do” for the USA.
In another thread, it was brought up that, there is a provision that the illegals have to sign papers showing they “intend” to apply for legal status or actually apply at some point.
But I haven’t seen anything yet that indicates an enforcement provision, meaning they could sign a piece of paper yet not follow through with the provisions.
But mayhap I should just shut my yap and quit asking questions about this. It appears to be a bit of a touchy subject amongst many of those who have already made themselves known as Perry supporters.
My replies to you have been focused on conservative politics and the GOP candidates running in 2012. Specifically, Myth Romney v Rick Perry. Nothing more, nothing less. I was not ill mannered. Discussing politics is not for the faint of heart. You took it personal.
>>>>>I am not a Mormon. I have never supported Mitt Romney.
Unless they are a zealot, or cultist I don't much care about a persons religion. I just wanted to know if you supported Romney in 2008 and if you support him for 2012. You FINALLY answered that simple question. Thanks.
>>>>>Until recently, I had never heard of Rick Perry. I am trying to learn about him..
I follow politics closely. If you wanted to know about Perry you could have asked. Imo, Fred Thompson was a good candidate until he realized Gentleman Jack and the good life couldn't accompany him on the campaign trail.
You do realize that the primary audience he was writing to is far larger than this site.
That’s fine. I’m not pressing you to vote for him.
I just wanted you to know the facts especially that he did not initiate the bill. Could not have stopped it in any way and he is not a dictator.
