Because Governor Rick Perry has backed some especially harsh anti-illegal immigrant legislation (like a bill that would outlaw sanctuary cities) Latino rights activists want Hispanics to switch over to the republican party and vote Perry out of the G.O.P race for the presidential nomination during the upcoming primary season.

In the United States, yeomen were identified in the 18th and 19th centuries as non-slaveholding, small landowning, family farmers. In Southern areas where land was poor, like East Tennessee,[4] the landowning yeomen were typically subsistence farmers, but some managed to grow some crops for market. Whether they engaged in subsistence or commercial agriculture, they controlled far more modest landholdings than those of the planters, typically in the range of 50-200 acres. In the North, practically all the farms were operated by yeoman farmers as family farms.
Thomas Jefferson was a leading advocate of the yeomen, arguing that the independent farmers formed the basis of republican values.[5] Indeed, Jeffersonian Democracy as a political force was largely built around the yeomen.[6] After the Civil War, organizations of farmers, especially the Grange, formed to organize and enhance the status of the yeoman farmers.[7]

Your boy is toast because of his own history and stupidity {"heartless") but also because we're sick of Texans with a sense of entitlement.
Your state has given us three presidents: two who were total disasters and one who was mediocre and only rose to that level thanks to his superior VP.
I was born and raised in Ohio, Bub.
Back when Ohio was a great place.
So what? You’re in Texas now.
LoL! Yeah right!
Wow.
If you think I’m wrong, explain your post.
You know anything of Grant, Garfield? Taft? Harrison? Hayes? McKinney?
McKinnley
Don’t know who “McKinney” was, but the rest were all better presidents than the ones from Texas.
Look pal, Ohio used to be the frontier, The great Connecticut Western Reserve.
Now Texas is La Frontera.
I think Perry is doing things that none of the other candidates have to deal with and I think he is getting a bad rap
bttt
You are sharp as a tack.
I give up!
Runaway! Runaway!
Then you must love illegals.
Yup! That’s the patent response from your ilk.
That's a load.
Another Texan idiot. You people need to learn that there are 49 other states. Your boy is in the single digits. Give it up.
