If you oppose Perry because he is for amnesty how can you support Newt? Given his contradicting comments below one could say he is all over the map on the issue. But we know now that he is 100% for amnesty as he has said as much.

This I agree with:

Anything less than requiring people who are working here illegally to return home to apply for a worker visa is amnesty.

This I don't agree with.

I am for a path to legality for those people whose ties are so deeply into America that it would truly be tragic to try and rip their family apart."
~Newt Gingrich 2011

And this I do agree with.

It should also be mentioned that advocates of amnesty should not be taken seriously if they claim to be also in favor of tougher border control. It is simply not credible that advocates of amnesty will be reliably tough on controlling the borders. ~Newt Gingrich 2006

Read what oldeconomybuyer said in his #94 post to me. That is it EXACTLY. I could forgive Perry his stance but I can't his flaccid brain and grasp of simple facts in a debate. Newt will never make the stumbles and missteps that Perry has. Yeah, Newts got a lot of baggage. So what? Anybody who's been rocking around DC since the 1970s is bound to! He is an old "In-the-trenches" warrior and that is exactly what's needed. He did help build the Reagan revolution and he did balance the budget and he's got a mind like a steel trap, unlike Perry who's just trapped.
