Our southwestern border and illegal aliens problems are a real Gordion’s knot. You probably know how that problem was solved. The thing that concerns most of us is Governor Perry seems to have a `me too’ attitude about it, along with his predecessors. Why don’t the criminals among us have to wait in line like the rest of the world? Why should they be rewarded? You know what happens when you start feeding cats—you get more cats.
But as odd as this may seem, if the election were tomorrow I’d probably vote for Gov. Perry. Or Cain. The man grows to fit the job usually, not this last time.
Our jobs as national rank-and-file conservatives—from all parts of the United States, not just the Lone Star state—is to let his people know what we hope he will do.
That’s a fair mix between Burke’s `vote your conscience’ and `pure’ democracy: `We voted 51-49 for you to do this,” I think.
His supporters need thicker skin and should keep that in mind. Less heat & rhetoric, fewer pictures of the Gov shooting & roping and castrating bulls, and “If you can do it, it ain’t braggin’” and a lot more of, “Here’s what he’s done for Texas, here’s how it’s replicable for the country & here’s what he’ll do.”
As it is we’ve seen a tongue-tied, dyslexic Gary Cooper `ayup’ Marlboro Man Texan—and we’ve seen this movie before.
He should be eating Romney alive, if he’s going to take on the baritoned, empty suit TOTUS.
Tomorrow, Perry. Twice? Who knows. I doubt that he could wrap things any worse around the tractor axle then they already are. Maybe Cain. Ain’t pluralism great?
You are missing the point. Immigration is a federal responsibility. Perry has done all that he can do as a governor. He recently sent a bill to Obama for reimbursement of the care and costs given to illegals because of failure of Obama to do his job. Bet TX doesn’t receive any money.
