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.

Sounds like Perry bowed to the feds.
Identity politics is for the Left.
Conservatives of all stripes will not be voting for Obama.
That is kinda the way the Gov works.
I am sure it was Perrys fault. /s
The Democrats must be pretty afraid the conservative vote will be too strong for an Obama win this time, indicating why they would be trying to shift the conservative Latino vote all around and all over the place.
I just don’t think it’s going to happen as easily as they think it will. We know now that it is OK to stand for conservatism and for a conservative candidate and that we can make a difference by standing firm in those things.
Latino citizens who vote as conservatives won’t be moved by those Democrat activists, and that must scare Obama.
Your boy?
Or are they just double-agents trying to help Perry build some anti-illegal credentials after his near disasterous defense of the Texas Dream Act?
Would it matter if you were told the opposite?
For a FReeper you are one uninformed dude.
A serial BS poster, if you will.
And YOUR state has given us......?
Charlie Crist?
Debbie Blabbermouth Wasserman?

Could you post a link to his transcripts, so we can look at his education?
Also, if you could provide links for any of the legislation he has passed, or conservative policies he has implemented, that would be great. Acheivements are what we should judge people on. Rick Perry has a record of acheivements on a host of conservative issues; multiple items on the pro-life agenda, several solid pro-gun policies, several good anti-illegal-immigrant policies, a solid record of acheivement on keeping taxes low, on spurring economic growth, and on balancing budgets.
But I am willing to look at Cain's relevant acheivements as well. I mean, I know he turned Godfather's pizza from the 5th largest pizza company to the 11th largest pizza company, which doesn't seem like a good thing to me, but moreso has nothing to do with running a country, unless we can fix America by giving 10 states back to Mexico (the equivalent of closing 20% of the stores).
And I know he was a corporate lobbyist president for the restaurant industry, where he praised Clinton for trying to "fix" health care but complained that Clinton's plan would hurt restaurants. And he was a fed chair for a while -- not sure what they actually do.
And he has a solid record of acheivement as a small-time talk-show host.
He also had a wonderfully unsuccessful campaign for the senate once.
You DO write good comments.
People who are bad at math are astounded that Cain could do it. People who aren’t don’t see that as so much of a crowning acheivement as a sign that he has a good, logical mind.
I’m amazed at how many people are actually scared of math. I am curious though to see his education history, so if someone has a link to his college transcripts that would be great.
Cain was polling in single digits for the first half year of his campaign. I’m guessing you didn’t think he was a loser then.
And there it is, the record against perry, in 10 words. ONE actual policy, two things that never happened, and a speech to constituents by a Governor.
Ouch!
And all illegals have to do is illegally live and illegally work in Texas to be given the SAME rights as US citizens.
Polls are not a cause, they are an effect. If Perry WINS the nomination, it will be because when people got serious about the race, they looked at him and decided he was the best choice.
If that doesn’t happen, you don’t have to worry about him being the Nominee. If that DOES happen, it will mean he has regained his stride and will be a fine candidate in the general election.
You could say the same thing about Cain, if Cain actually gets vetted. At the moment he’s the flavor of the month, the guy who got all the good buzz for a month while Perry was attacked. A good number of Cain supporters were checking the “Perry” box a month ago. You clearly think they’d never go back, but a month ago people weren’t thinking they would decide to check the 4% Cain box.
At this point in 2008, Giuliani was somewhere around 40%, and McCain was in single digits (and McCain had previously been near front-runner status). Polls show how people feel at this moment, they don’t show what will be in 2 months, or 6 months. As a Palin supporter, I’ve lived by that rule for the past 2 years.
Titanic.
Not Quite.
