Yep. FOX is in the tank for Romney big time, but I knew that a long time ago.
Perry is not a good debater, but he is a conservative. Romney is a good debater, but his is a liar and a fraud. Romney will most likely be the nominee.
Not quite... Under the law, any student who has lived in Texas at least three years and graduated from a Texas high school qualifies for in-state tuition. The law also requires noncitizens to apply for citizenship
Perry has stumbled a few times tonight.
Not good.
Unprepared?
That will solve several problems ~ (1) Their presence in the US, (2) The lifetime of crime they would be expected to pursue (3) Their lack of education, and (4) Their deplorable American accents in Spanish ~
Agreed. It seems that he either can't organize his thoughts or can't articulate them concisely.
While none are perfect they all are better than Zero. We’d better get behind whomever gets the nod, even Cheech or Chong who’d be a heck of a step up from Obama.
Man, ole Perry sounded like Boomhower on that last one.
Add to this the 300,000 to 400,000 anchor babies born each year to illegal aliens, most of them receiving Medicaid, food stamps, and welfare as American citizens. The fence would pay for itself many times over in just a year.
Agree.
And Romney knows what he stands for because he’s written it down. Wt???
Herman Cain speaks about his PLANS. He doesn’t attack or complain. And he stands like a professional up there.
Lovin’ Cain!
Not free, only 100,000 discount, since any American citizen from another state would need to pay 100,000 more. Have you got your illegal friend papers yet?
Romney was channeling Glenn Beck when he spoke at our state convention last year, he cried.
Sanctuary cities are also illegal under federal law, but no one is doing anything about it. Do you want to leave it up to the states as well?
Perry had a bad nite!
Your spelling and sentence structure shows you to be eminently qualified to pass judgment on her intelligence.
LOL
Unfortunately you are right. Romney is winning the debate....Perry is coming across as a total doofus....Sarah Palin where are you??????????
The reason this was put in was that 12 of the 13 colonies had specific religious requirements for officeholders (and VA was working on theirs) and they did NOT want the feds to interfere with them. For example, Delaware required belief in the Trinity; others required belief in Christ.
The current interpretation of the First Amendment is a travesty...it is the First Amendment that counts, not what Jefferson wrote to the Baptists of Danbury in 1802.
Game over - In the end it will be Mittens VS Palin. This debate is a joke prop up mittens that is there guy. Enter Sarah.... That is a debate I want to see before Sarah VS Zero!!!
