What “path to amnesty?” States can’t deport or give amnesty.

“Perry’s plan calls for using the power of the executive to rein in the EPA”

No, we don’t need the EPA reined in. We need the EPA abolished, but that’s the job of the legislature. And the congress is too cluck-cluck-cluck chicken to fire these fascists at the EPA.

After Rapanos v US, there were piles of evidence showing sedition and extortion by the Nazis at the EPA. And I’ll include the 6th appeals court and the US attorneys in Michigan as in on the illegal plot to rob Rapanos of his money, land and liberty. But the Congess wouldn’t even hold hearings. Our problem isn’t the fascist EPA, it’s the criminals in Congress. That body is infected with jackels and snakes.

And Rapanos happened while Bush was in office. He’s especially culpable.

Really? In 10+ years of governing, you pick these two? Both of which the Governor has said are strictly state’s issues, and absolutely are not Federal issues.

How about his record of promoting abstinence, which would negate the need for the first and his record of tightening border and port control, which, if the Feds would follow through, would end any possibility of anyone qualifying for the second.

Those that bring up really stupid stuff like the in-state tuition thing cannot be reasoned with. I’ve wasted a lot of space trying to do it.

They just hate Perry. I don’t know why. I don’t think they know why.

The hatred for the man is palpable. I just don't get it. I wish he hadn't made the 'heartless' comment but those that hate him and rail against him were doing so for weeks before that unfortunate choice of words.

What I know about governor Perry is that he is a sincere Christian, appears to be a faithful husband and father, is pro-life, pro-second amendment. He's a stong and vocal advocate for smaller government. He is opposed to the over reaching Federal Government and is the only Governor to take on the EPA and TSA! He governs the most economically successful and pro-business state in the union. He's a CONSERVATIVE1 So...why all the hate?

So, no Executive changes at EPA until your perfect plan is carried out?

Jennifer Rubin at Wash. Post has a nice article about how much credit to give to Perry for what has happened in TX in the past 4 years

Brilliant! I know whenever I want an honest assessment of a conservative's record of success I ALWAYS turn to the Washington Post. Dipsh*t!

Cain’s empowerment (entitlement zones) are a deal breaker for me. Along with his being ABC (American first black second and conservative third).

I was wondering why I hadn't seen anyone point that out. Black second and conservative third, huh? We've learned that he supported Romney in the 08 primary season. Has anybody asked him who he voted for in the 08 election?

Why not?

200,000 in your candidates bank account

So, would you predict donations to Cain's campaign in the next 30 days, now that he is leading or tied with Romne in most polls, will be more or less than last month when 30 days ago he was probably fourth or so?

“So, no Executive changes at EPA until your perfect plan is carried out?”

You bet your butt it’s the perfect plan. It’s also the correct and proper constitutional plan. The Congress created the EPA, and Congress must abolish the EPA.

If conservatives had paid attention since the EPA was created by the RINO Nixon, they might understand that the EPA is used by the fascist rats to club property owners over the head. That’s why it needs to be properly destroyed by Congress so the fascist rats can’t use it anymore to kill private property rights.

What Perry might do with EOs to “rein in the EPA,” can be reversed by a rat president. See the Marxist rat obuma as an example.

Get it?

However, in the meantime, is it okay with you if we defund and defang the EPA as much as possible, even if it’s not permanent?

hocndoc and sergeantdave,

I think you are both right. The EPA must be abolished, brick by brick and bureaucrat by bureaucrat. Perry can set the example by beginning that process with Executive power. He must at the same time use the bully pupit to get Congress on board to pass legislation abolishing the agency. The House could move first through defunding legislation followed by abolishing legislation. A Republican contolled Senate will be necessary for the final step.

It’s a two prong approach with both the Executive and Legislature working together. But the President must lead, and Perry’s passion and determination in confronting the EPA make him the best suited for that role.

Part of the Perry In-State Tuition Plan requires the students to start the path to citizenship while they are in school, so that when they graduate they can become citizens and, of course, find employment anywhere in the USA.

Seems like it not only costing taxpayer's to fund illegal education (while many of them can't afford to send their own children to college) and take future jobs away from these same kids.

Have a further look into the Perry In-State Tuition requirements.

Uhhh so if Perry is so great why can't Perry just apologize for giving In-State Tuition for Illegal Aliens? And apologize for the HPV thing?

I mean, does Perry still, to this day, think giving In-State Tuition to Illegals is a great idea???

More than a few folks need to read a wider range of news in order to know that Jenifer is a great defender of REAL conservative ideas.

Geez you folks so in love with Perry should look at his debate performance and see that that is the best he has. He is all politican and not much else. Anyone that thinks it is OK to support a Baptist minister that calls Catholics and Mormon members of a cult and not real Crhistians, is thinking you can win an election by lossing 30% of the voting public. No Republican has ever won without Catholic support.

Here is Rubin take on perry - Moreover, it’s important to note the difference in style between Perry and Republican Govs. Mitch Daniels of Indiana and John Kasich of Ohio. The latter two embarked on bold reform plans to enhance service, improve efficiency, channel education funds to the classroom and away from bureaucracy, and remodel health care at the state level. Perry’s aim, on the other hand, was to give the appearance of fiscal reform. He or his successor will have to clean up the mess in future years.
