God save us from more 'compassionate conservatism'!!
Bingo!
crap... I just agreed with Ron Paul.....I need a drink....
I don’t know how they pay, maybe loans, maybe some get scholarships. I am not from Texas. Loans have to be paid back, regardless.
We need more IMO than I am seeing on this stage.
Granted all are stronger than Obama, but we a need John Wayne, not more weak leaders.
oh the illegal lovers know how....they just play dumb to shill for senor ricarrdo perry.
I only know of one jerk who thinks that!
The Minutemen tried something on a smaller scale and were called "vigilantes" by former Pres. Bush.
Agree with your assertion on the “illegal” part. But, they’re here and why not get their money for tuition?
That’s is a dumb question. Megyn. Why can’t Perry compare and contrast himself to Obama? Why Bush? Is Bush running in 2012?
I think I just saw Sarah Palin in one of the crowd shots. It was a woman with black hair and glasses. Does anybody know if Sarah is in attendance tonight at the debates?
“For Sara Palin fans. Sorry folks. Her heart seems to be in the right place, but her I.Q. leaves a lot to be desired. She would be like having another George W. Standing in line recently with other folks at a theater premiere, 28 people out of 28 agreed Palin is not presidential material.”
As opposed to the nine geniuses on the stage right now, of course...
Ask D who redid her roof...
In one form or another. He's for guest workers, just has never detailed how he would make sure those guest workers made it back to their country of origin.
I had to look at the tv, Perry's voice sounded a bit like Gore's.
Uh-oh! Ron Paul just outed himself as soft on abortion....
Oh, he’s Conservative all right. Yesssssir!
Yeah, definitely not liking Perry right now.
Ridiculous. So the state subsidizes every single Texas resident’s tuition? NO. It doesn’t. No matter how much you lie about it.
Asking Perry about Bush certainly addresses the important issues...NOT.
