The idiot author of this piece neglects to mention that the Republican legislators flipped because we the Texas voters fired a lot of the RINOs and indeed a lot of the Democrats who were for this and scared the crap out of the remainder.

Yes! We did the same in Louisiana! Immigration is just one of the issues but we started taking Pelosi’s advice and are “draining the swamp”. The last “illustrious political leader” to go will be Mary Landrieu in 2014 (I believe). Louisiana, a notorious blue state has become scarlet! Other than her all our state rep including our governer are conservative republicans.
However, the author lists a group of men and women who are our most conservative and who are still in office, sometimes in higher office.
Yeah! That's why they immediately revoked it, right? Oh wait.........
What was going on in 2001?
- we didn’t have 9-11 to think about. Illegal immigration was not broadly seen as a national security issue.
- we hadn’t had the debate about ‘compassionate conservationism’ with Bush yet.
- the entire issue of illegal immigration wasn’t in the foreground of public discussion.
Could I forgive Perry for this signature - seeing as how so much of this is Monday Morning Quarterbacking?
Sure. If he asked for forgiveness. If he really believed that it was a bad decision.
But he defends himself. *After* we’ve had the debate and endured the horrors that were 9-11, he still ends up on the wrong side.
Then he insults those of us who’ve thought this through and decided that the stance was wrong.
