Perry: “I don’t think you have a heart,” he told Romney. ”We need to be educating these children, because they will become a drag on our society.”
So the insinuation you make is that once Perry is President he would no longer have a heart because he would change if elected. That quote alone should tell us what he would do if elected.
I realize they’re subtle, but there are differences between giving children of illegals a tuition break which is, or should be, a states right issue, and granting amnesty, which is a federal issue.
Personally, I’m not in favor of either, but then I don’t live in TX, am not familiar with its culture, and believe Texans should decide what works there when it comes to states rights. In the same vein, if MA likes a state-mandated health care program for its citizens, it’s their choice. Neither shouldn’t be foisted on AL/MI/NJ/VA/WI, or any other state.
One problem with this race so far is the total lack of value in the debates, other than the forum conducted by Sen. DeMint over Labor Day. With 7-9 candidates each given a minute to answer complex (or gotcha) questions, and the candidate next to him jumping down his throat, you won’t get informative answers. In time, hopefully, the final 3-4 will have more time to expound on their positions and = assuming Perry and Romney are among the finalists = explain how laws they enacted as governors their states relate, or not, to the nation.
The ‘don’t have a heart’ did, in fact, sour me some on Perry, but he IS still in the race, and I have not written him off because there is much to be said for his candidacy. I don’t have to cast a vote for five months, and am trying to gather all the information I can, pro and con, on each of the candidates, and am trying to do it with as much objectivity as I can muster. There are three I’ve ‘written off’ for my primary vote, but beyond that find pro and con arguments for each. Alas, no one (but for me and thee) is perfect. Whoever gets the GOP nomination will have my support and my vote.
If looking into Perry, among others, makes me a “Perrywinkle” or “quisling,” or infects me with “PDS” of either variety, I could care less. The name calling around here has become more than a little tedious, it’s become repulsive.
You conveniently forget that the vote was veto proof, what did he have to gain besides posturing to veto the bill? Spend more tax payer money having them override his veto.
