It WASN'T ME!! I always tell! ;-)
Cain’s my first choice at the moment. Then Bachmann.
I think you just got your answer on Ron Paul. What a jerk.
If the muzzies had two nickels to rub together, they’d use it to build a bomb and strap it to little Fatima and send her into Times Square. Then they’d slap each other on the back because they now had extra food for the goat so they can have a ‘choice’.
The goat humpers want to kill us because they want a caliphate, not because of anything we did.
I guess Huntsman has been running for VP. But even that looks like along shot at this point.He sounds way too scripted/artificial.
kids who were brought here by their parents at no fault of their own
___________________________________________
But they are now 18+ adults
it is now their fault if they stay
they are now illegal aliens in their own right
and no longer because of their parents...
if they are so fit for bennies why dont they do the right thing and leave and prove it ???
Anyone have a question count? Stuntsman seems to be getting lots of CNN attention... Good debate? Not!!! CNN in the tank. Huntsman is a not tea party nor a republican. Probably a dem plant.
I have a very close hispanic, 2nd generation Texan friend who’s kid applied for a hispanic grant here in Texas. She was turned down and told that the hispanic grants (at that college) were for illegals.
” The TX Dream Act only gives tuition to someone who graduated from a TX high school and has been here for 3 years. IOW, kids who were brought here by their parents at no fault of their own. Perry wasn’t clear enough on that.”
There you go. Exactly correct. Wish he had time, of course, to detail. I think he is stringing beads, one at a time, but eventually he will get it done and put the clasp on which usually closes the subject. Perry is methodical.
He gives great answers every time. I’ve had no problems, so far, with anything he’s said.
I’ve wanted him to run for POTUS since the first time I heard him on the radio and my feelings for him haven’t changed. I’m proudly a Honky For Herman, Cracker For Cain. Either one works for me. LOL!
I think everyone understands in-state is “subsidized” tuition, where out-of-state is not.
It was not an opt in because it would have raised the price of the vaccine to $360 a dose.
Pizza man’s hot!
It WASN'T ME!! I always tell! ;-)
Me too and she ain't ever close to being like Palin.
LOL!!! lo9ve it.
You’re right. Perry may have lost the battle in this debate..but he won the War with Latinos..he cares about their kids and isn’t “afraid’ of Mexicans..that came across.
That’s exactly what he said.
I’ll be honest, after Perry’s performance, something like that is needed.
Trending down...Perry, Bachmann
Trending up..no-one
Treading water...everybody else.
Wolf succeeds in protecting Obama.
The display of shock and disbelief over Paul’s views on foreign policy is itself idiotic.
If she doesn't run, who are we gonna vote for? The only one I could, in good conscience vote for is Cain and I just don't think he'll be around much longer
