Great logic.
{I think we can keep him in line if he tries to pass something that smells of amnesty.}
Just like we have kept the won in line, like he hasn’t issued executive orders that all but nullify the current immigration law. I have heard crickets chirp louder than the Republican leadership, on this complete usurpation of the authority of Congress.
There aren’t really two parties, there’s only one. The Washington, DC Party. It’s a big fat two-legged socialist beast. And even it does the Texas two-step for awhile, again, that won’t change the direction it always heads.
BTW, immigration is but one of Perry's glaring conservative shortcomings.
"...Its well known that Perrys record and positions on immigration represent the one glaring area where hes significantly out of step with conservative orthodoxy. ..."
It looks like we are about to find out if Jim DeMint is the real deal. Since if he is as anti-illegal immigrant as he is portrayed, then he and Perry have some serious issues.
Perry might wanna get a stomach virus to excuse himself from this event. Unless of course, he has already made a deal with DeMint. In this case, DeMint will prove himself a fraud.
I’m going with DeMint as the real deal. If he proves me wrong, then I’ll place him right up there with Obama.
Now where is your 'compassion'? s/ What gets real curious is to read what these Perry pushers really think of their illegal cheap labors... Their com'passion' is all about $$$$$ in their own personal bank accounts. They do NOT care about the rest of US forced to fund education and health care. Our 'safety' from the criminals invited in to do their trade is not even on their radar.
Sen. DeMint endorsed Milt Romney last time.

DeMint supported Romney in the last election. I don’t know why anyone would think he would have any problem supporting some other RINO.
I won't hold that against him. I was mostly anyone but McCain. Well, less a few unmentionables. At least he didn't endorse Julie.
I hope they ask the questions, so we can here Perry answer them. They are valid questions.
It ran low during the GWB presidency -- and Obama done taken the rest.
I'm completely tapped out. ;-)
I’m more or less pro-Perry at this point, but I expect him to stand tall and take his licks for this. If he can make the case that his strengths are worth overlooking his weaknesses, then so be it. If not, he deserves to fail. That’s why we have this process.
Ah but in the 'purists'
(love to hate that word since it was birthed by the high minded moderates over amnesty otherwise camouflaged as 'compassionate conservatism')
sense of the word compassion comes from within, cannot be dictated or legislated.
I was accused of being a purist for not supporting Schwarzenegger.
Ah but in the 'purists' sense of the word compassion comes from within, cannot be dictated or legislated.
Agreed. Let's just say I have two kinds of compassion: 1) that available to satisfy government mandates and 2) that generated from within.
I'm tapped out of category 1. Category 2 is almost limitless.
who then. i have the same problem.
“The way I see it, if there’s enough Tea Partiers in The House and Senate to stop President Bamboozle from getting his way (ha!), then there should be enough to stop President Perry from going off the reservation on certain issues.”
Exactly! And Perry would be a damned sight better than BHO because, even though more conservatives in House and Senate could stop BHO on many things, he’s signed many horrific EO’s under the radar and would continue this, he’s appointed two radical, anti-Constitution SC justices (so far!), he’s using czars and cabinet heads to do his bidding by completely bypassing Congress, and his anti-US, anti-Israel, pro-Islamist foreign policy is destroying us with both friends and foes.
Like him or not, Perry, by no stretch, has a goal of taking our country down.
BHO does.
The simple fact is that we MUST have an electable candidate or BHO wins four more years and America’s done.
Yes, Perry’s worth the risk if that’s how it turns out. I think he’d hold his own in debate against BHO, while Romney would get shaken, which I saw him do in the primaries of ‘08.
That’s just how I feel about it.
Unbelievable to me. After so much anger and conservative rhetoric and ‘no more RINO’ talk these last few years, the GOP powers that be and their perfumed money boys are trying to shove another jackass down our throats. Perry is a left wing version of George Bush and one of the few candidates that make old McCain seem conservative.
