It is in Tampa Bay and yes it is during the hurricane season.
I think I saw a little growth in that regard today, but he needs to do even more -- especially since the plan is likely to turn off just as many people as it inspires.
“That was addressed in Plyler vs Doe and when CA Prop 187 was declared unconstitutional in the 1990s.”
Prop 187 has never been declared unconstitutional. Pfaelzer stayed the law contending that only the federal government had authority over immigration.
It has never been adjudicated by anyone other than Carter appointee Judge Marianna Pfaelzer. The Proposition was subverted when Gray Davis conspired with Pfaelzer to not have her stay appealed.
Arnold could have filed the appeal, but RINO that he is he was no more interested in seeing Prop 187 passed than was Pfaelzer and Gray Davis.
I’m talking about these 7.
Bachmann beating up on Cain. She is in the tank for Romney. It’s too obvious.
He can be Speaker of the House without being a member of congress.
Heard about this years ago.
Cruise the Religion Forum...chockful of Mormon haters..

Name names. Show us where anyone hate Mormons.
I find such generalizations offensive. Bush and Perry are two separate people and worlds apart. Perry speaks slower than others. That's his style. You see it as Perry not being smart but that is not necessarily the case. Perry's problem is not that he speaks slow or he is from Texas but that he doesn't come across strong in the debates. Debates aren't his thing. I think Cain and Newt are doing the best IMO.
When one is the Commander in Chief there is no debate.
Like George W. Bush said, “I’m the decider.”
It’s a Texan thing.
My husband has it. He pauses so long while telling a story that I think he’s stopped. Then if I speak, he says, why do you always interrupt me. LOL.
Omg! Perry wants to defund the UN ! Freaking go Perry!!!
With respect to my Texan friends, it’s cultural. Texans value a slower paced speaking style, which sometimes comes across to “Yanks” as slow and plodding. I’ve found many Texans are very different one-on-one than in this kind of public group setting.
If it makes you feel better, I checked on National Review Online. They think Romney pooped rose petals all debate long.
Of course, I’ve come to think of NRO as the enemy within...
Ron Paul just pooped in the punch bowl on que.
True.
Perry calls for defunding the UN! Hell Yeah!
I wish this Rick had been around for the earlier debates, maybe he’s finally ready to rumble!
YICK. I am just so turned off by Perry. As a woman, he sounds to me like like a jerky abusive man in a fight with his wife. Just can’t stand his goofy twang.
I for one have had enough of these Texas politicians.
And Bachman looks like her face is chapped from the wind or something. She also sounds so droning and monotone.
Cain sure is sharp tonight.
How arrogant is that?
