Of these 4 bozos, I would go for Perry. He seems to backtracked a bit in his handling of illegal immigration and at least he is not pushing newtonian amnesty. Newt is the most unacceptable because of his amnesty fanatics.

I hope Bachmann or Santorum would be the surprise finisher though.

I am tending to agree on Perry (although here in Texas, we do not get to vote until April, at the earliest!).

I love Ron Paul’s proposed domestic budget—it should be the starting point for any true conservative; but he is way too loony on about 20 percent of the issues, even when I think he means well. Newt is a great debater, and very good at getting bills passed, but he has a history of working power angles in lieu of conservative principles, Santorum (who is probably the one with positions most identical to mine) and Bachmann are, frankly, long shots and may be out of the race by March.

That leaves Perry, a B+ candidate. One thing about Perry, he has an A+ as far as second amendment rights go. And to be clear—I am no Perry-bot. I have a long history of being very annoyed at many Perry decisions, including for example Perry’s decision to attack one of our most conservative Texas Supreme Court justices and back a moderate candidate during a primary.

So many criticize Perry for not doing Obama’s job.
If they want Perry to do Obama’s job for him then they need to vote him into Obama’s position.

Perry as the Governor of Texas cannot completely secure an international border between United States and Mexico as Texas Gov and with only Texas resources.

Perry as the Governor of Texas cannot deport any illegals.

Perry as the Governor of Texas is forced by Federal Law to educate and medically treat illegals.

Perry has done more on the border than Obama has and it is not his job to do so. He has done it with as much Texas Taxpayers money as possible and with as much Texas resources as possible.

If people want Perry to do Obama’s job of securing the border, getting drug cartels (and the guns away from them that Obama gave them) and fix the illegal problem we have......
then they should vote for Perry to give him the job, responsibilities and the resources to do so.

I’m not picking on you and I know you are favorable to Perry. It is just that Perry is getting a bad rap for the illegal and border issues that are not entirely his fault.

Have you seen this?

THIS IS GREAT....LOOK WHAT TEXAS IS DOING ON THE BORDER...

TEXAS NOW HAS ITS OWN NAVY! The Department of Public Safety, Thursday, announced the launched of a Tactical Marine Unit.

{This is TEXAS not U.S. doing this}

He hasn't changed his stripes. Last month Perry was pushing a a visa program to let illegal immigrants come and go freely.

If Perry can support a plan that would identify and give visas to criminals, I mean illegal immigrants, so they can come and go freely across our borders, then he can support a plan that would identify and deport those very same criminals, I mean illegal immigrants, I mean guest workers.
