This chump, Perry, thinks the taxpayers of Texas should give ILLEGAL ALIENS ‘in state tuition’ rates. They’ve already broken the law, he wants taxpayers to subsidize them,. NEVER MIND that AMERICAN BORN students who live in other states would pay FULL WHACK!!!! He did this to pander to the Mexican illegal alien voters and gimme, gimme crowd.
The fact that he saw NOTHING wrong with this (among other things) stops him dead in his tracks in my book.
Nice spinning. Dizzy yet?
Here are the facts:
They didn’t actually break the law if they were brought here by their parents when they were children.
And out-of-state Americans get a better deal than the illegals: they only have to live in Texas one year, whereas illegals have to live there three years, plus meet other criteria.
Perry is tough on border control. He has been dealing in his state with a situation created by others before he became governor. The Texas legislature made that decision, based on the wishes of their constituents, with only four dissenting votes. What was Perry supposed to do, veto it? It only would have gone back and been overriden. It just might have been the right decision when all the facts are considered.
I don’t know how often this stuff has to be repeated before people stop bashing him on this one issue.
Here’s the deal. mitt romney has played so down and so dirty throughout this entire process that his campaign has literally destroyed its opponents into oblivion. Rick Perry stepped out on the wrong foot, but his ideas are fantasric and should not be ignored. No one else could withstand the withering lies and underhanded rumors and insinuations fed to the media by romney’s opposition research, so what have we left?
We have Gingrich who I think is going to go out as a weapon aimed squarely at taking romney out knowing it will take himself out as well. (And if it DOESN’T take him out, then HE is the man.)
Perry still has a warchest and can afford to try again. Santorum is a very principled man and will also stand for us AS A CONSERVATIVE.
So from my point of view, let them have their shot. Trashing any of them only helps romney.
If Rick Perry can’t break out in SC, he will fold. That is just the way it is. But I ain’t going to trash him regardless. I would hope that someone else picks up on some of his better ideas and builds on them if he can’t do it himself.
IF he stays low as he is right now in the polls without making a good showing in SC and keeps going anyway, THEN I might be tempted to see him as a spoiler. But right now, it is ron paul and mitt romney who scare the bejeezus out of me and anyone who can take either one or both of them out gets my vote because beating romney is beating obama. Period.

At least TX is flush enough to create programs like the tuition assistance. Bet MA couldn’t swing it and I know PA couldn’t because I live here.
