I may be dead wrong, but I bow to a Texas Governor regarding border control,before I bow to someon from massachusetts
???
Michelle is coming across was a witch and a screaming meme.
Agreed!
[Correct. In 2005, the Texas legislature directed a study be done on how to reduce and eliminate cervical cancer and report to the governor. The report came in 2006 and said vaccination met the goal. Perry signed the order in 2007 not only having opt-out per Texas law but making it easier than every to opt-out. The reason it was opt-out, not opt-in, was to ensure coverage by Medicaid and health insurance providers.]
He needs to make that point.
Its pretty easy to verify. Look it up.
I agree He was hurt... should’ve stopped speaking after admitting he made a poor decision...he opened himself up by trying to defend his motives...ouch.
The illegal alien issue is not something anyone on stage can speak to from consistent experience like Perry.
Way back in John Wayne’s day, we were used to the Tex-Mex connotation.
I want all the illegals thrown out, yes. But I also know that the goal is not to overcome but to overwhelm.
I also want illegals to go back and fix their own countries, including Kenya, Somalia, etc.
“IF YOU ARE WORKING TOWARD CITIZENSHIP”
Huntsman—just proved he is a gian a-hole with snarky comment on Perry’s handling of the border. Crowd not pleased with comment.
Huntsman needs to go back to Salt Lake City and stay there.
He is a Mormon with one extra “m”.
Huntsman’s jokes go over like dirty jokes at a church picnic
Perry being beat like a drum by most on stage regarding our lawless borders.
Not from Texas. That so-called mandate was never enacted. Doh!
We can build a bridge connecting the Florida Keys, we can build a dam to hold back millions of gallons of water, and we can build a bridge to connect two peninsulas in Michigan... but we CAN’T build a fence in the middle of a damn river?!?!?!?!
Check your facts out.
You’re wrong
4000 women dies from cervical cancer. Adult women. Not children in 6th grade.

Good idea. Now all we need is an executive order. LOL!
STFU, Huntsman! Someone get the damned hook and drag him offstage now.
Ever been to Big Bend National Park? Been watching the National Geographic border patrol shows where they are now using ultralight aircraft to fly the drugs over? The person to get rich with a ten foot fence is the eleven foot ladder salesman.
Maybe 11 or 12 million illegals?
Is wolf joking?
Wolf meant: 11 million in Texas, 12 million in California...
Can someone please show Huntsman the exit door!! What a jerk.
