As I just posted on another thread...
All he really needed to do is reply:
“As Governor of a state, deportation of the parents isn’t an option. I don’t have the authority to make that decision, and the federal government won’t do it. That leaves me and Texans trying to figure out how to deal with the mess the federal government gave us. We decided that if the parents are allowed to stay per the federal government, and the children they have born here are US citizens per the Constitution, then we might as well make education available to the kids who were born prior to the parent’s arrival.
Maybe some don’t like it, but that is the compromise we had to make in a difficult situation, and I still believe that is right for Texas.”
A reply like that wouldn’t make some folks happy, but it isn’t spitting on us or calling us names.
The problem with Perry wasn’t that he disagrees with some of us on policy, but that he called us names - in a true Democrat politician manner. And if he feels free to spit on us and despise us while asking for our votes, what will he do in DC, surrounded by liberals on every side?
Have we become such a whiny bunch here in the U.S. that when a man expresses that he feels you "Don't Have a Heart" if you want to deny education to people allowed in your country? [WHINE TO THE FEDS] Are we, as a nation so totally self absorbed that everything is internalize -- was your self-esteem bruised? Or are you just here to campaign for your candidate?
Grow a spine.
Oh please...that “You don’t have a heart’ thing got blown way out of porportion..The media loved that and jumped on Perry...along with Fox’s “focus group” that the moderator ran that right into the ground and then fox and all the MSM went nuts about it.
Wow, sure is nice to see conservatives just being pulled right along where the media wants you.
It may have been not the best way to say it, but I took it as conservatives DO have a heart.
Remember the name of the game for media, including Fox and even Rush...is to first get ratings and great soundbites!
when it comes to “crowd psychology” conservatives can be led around like sheeple too.
The bigger problem with Perry isn’t the fact he called us names. The bigger problem is that he gave an impassioned defense for Mexican immigration at each of the debates.
That is fine if the big business boys down in Texas want to rationalize that this is a good thing socially while getting their cheap labor. But for the rest of us, it sucks.
Texas is the gateway state for all of this garbage. Texas has had opportunities to solve this and they don’t want to. Rush is 100 percent correct that unless Texas solves this, they will dilute that State into the next California and at that moment those electoral votes will forever go into the D column and we will always have a liberal President and socialist country.
