Perry is not having a good speaking night.
yep.
LOL. Nice.
Wow, that was one meandering reply by Perry.
Perry needs to take a 5-hour energy at the break.
We'd count the number of Mexicans here illegally. Take a factor related to "square foot per Mexican" based on how big Mexico is and how many Mexicans there are and then multiply that number against the number of Mexicans inside the US.
Anybody living on that territory now would be EVACUATED SOUTH and the fence would be built to enclose and secure that land from the Gulf of California to the Gulf of Mexico.
Mexico can reduce the amount of space by taking back their people.
Did anyone follow that last Perry answer??
Perry should really avoid trying to be clever.
It’s embarrassing.
Perry is embarassing himself....we need someone who can debate Obama....
D is a true believer. She discounts anything that shows Perry in a bad light. Including facts. Read her post history.
From what you heard? Sources please or did you bother to check out the rumors?
Did anyone say that the children of illegals were getting FREE TUITION??
As far as I know, being charged in-state tuition is not a free ride.
My family gets charged in-state tuition and it certainly is NOT a free ride!
Romney
“Im a conservative”
Compared to what ???
It’s obvious to me that Fox is in the tank with Romney.
****************
Yes, I’ve been noticing that this past week or two.
Perry and Romney both come off as two smarmy, lying immature teenagers.
Both of them are a joke.
The Texas law makes no mention of illegal aliens or those applying for citizenship, which is done in their home country. We have 4 million intending legal aliens who have gone thru all of the background checks and physical exams and are awaiting their turn to enter this country overseas legally. Why should anyone who entered illegally get to the head of the line?
Perry kinda stammers and grasps for words at times. Romney on the other hand just spews words whether they mean anything or not.
I agree with your post, FTDS. I respect her and actually really like her - but not as the ‘answer’.
Romney says he has spent his life in business....
but he has spent nearly 20 years running for various political officies.
Fantastic point about Israel. Thanks.
