I think both have good points.
Tell these dopes about the fence, Perry. DO IT.
1,200 mile border he has patrolled, supported AZ bill, and only 3 reps vote no on the bill. He will not back down that they should get in-state tuition to educate these children.
AND TAKE ROMNEY WITH YOU!!!!
Wallace has a thrill run up his leg when Mitt speaks.
Even if he HAD vetoed it, the bill was passed with such a huge percentage of the texas legislature that he would have been overturned.
I’m watching Scarface. That being said, if “His Rickness” is cracking skulls, it’s a prime example of “His Rickness” unleashing his mojo!
Perry is toast.
He is done.
“They” — the dang moderators — are pushing Romney, Huntsman and bringing in Perry for chance to kick him.
Give MORE time to Bachmann, Cain, Gingrich, Santorum — THEY have the true solid conservative ideas.
Who woke Santorum up?
Newt does come off well in these debates.
This Johnson dude presents himself as a strange flake . . . .
Now PERRY is being an arrogant, condescending jerk, he is screwing himself
I think both have good points.
Shut up, Santorum!!!
RomneyBOT Wallace has at it vs. Gingrich,
asking him a complex question about E-card
and immigration reform.
He does well in a conservative response, even
suggesting E-card be run by a private company
and gets a few cheers to that, too.
He wants English as the official language in
government and gets LOUD CHEERS.
RomneyBOT Wallace continues the Perry Romney argument
and Wallace gives Romney a nuanced out.
Romney admits he cannot follow anything
which he has not memorized. He gives his
prepared response to something else.
RomneyBOT Wallace ignores the irrelevant response.
RomneyBOT Wallace turns to Perry and goes for the jugular
on immigration blaming him for the illegals, and bringing up
the DREAM acts. Perry brushes it off and purports
he is big on border security.
RINO Perry says he has a
"heart" and will support taxpayers' subsidizing
education and other supports for illegals.
About what??
Perry.....giving AWAY our nation one student at a time. What a joke. GWB-lite.
They’re all ganging up on Perry and the border’s issue.
