If we are saddled with a typical establishment republican in 2012 our country is as good as gone...just like if Obama is reelected.
Focus on getting a conservative nominated...crawl over broken glass to see that it gets done.
Our time as a free nation is quickly running out, there is no more time to wait 2 more years. If we don’t get the leader we need right here and right now all is lost.
Chris Wallace sucks
______________
Huge understatement....!
And therein lies the irony of this sad "in-state tuition for illegals" issue.
If he moves to TX for one year and establishes residency he does get in-state tuition. Illegals have to be residents for 3 years and graduate from a TX high school. Your nephew’s residency requirement is much easier to meet than that of the illegal TX residents.
Oh for heaven’s sake. Yeah right, some kid is going to move to TX without his parents who work in another state in order to establish residency to get in-state tuition? You’ve got to be joking. What a stretch you just made to justify Perry’s stance on in-state tuition. If he moves to TX for one year and establishes residency he does get in-state tuition. Illegals have to be residents for 3 years and graduate from a TX high school. Your nephew’s residency requirement is much easier to meet than that of the illegal TX residents. Give it up, Perry is going down the tubes fast.
Romney is better than Mcain was.
I think palin will need addl foreign policy help so I’d lean to newt or the walrus (always forget his name) with Cain as secretary of commerce.
Actually, not born here. They have been here the last 3 years of their school and must have graduated from a Texas high school - where the Feds refuse to allow us to identify and deport them.
Legal aliens and citizens of other States just need to live here one year - regardless of where they graduated.
[I stand corrected on the affidavit.]
Thank you.
Obama is doing nothing to help - as is his due responsibility. All those who rant against this need to tell us WHO is going to make these people ‘go back across the border’. Who?
Obama Halts Automatic Deportation of Illegals

I just don’t think many Americans will vote for another black man, not now. Obama has scared the sh*t out of too many people.
This debate was loaded with phoney BS
You may not understand this, but most voters do and the number who will make a decision based on anything Perry says about illegals is vanishingly small. Perry's fate won't turn on his attitudes toward illegal immigration, or on his decision to require gardasil injections or on his aggressive fund raising practices. He isn't going to rise or fall based on how well (or poorly) he debates. All of this is much ado about nothing.
The successful Governor of Texas will beat the one and done former Governor of Massachusetts hands down in a Republican Presidential primary. Barring a late entry, Perry's the nominee.
Perry himself confirmed this, as well as one of the Texas papers. He went to give a presentation on US Federalism and how state’s rights worked together or something along those lines.
He is a mulatto.
Herman Cain is black.
Not that this is a major point, but it is the facts. Cannot be refuted.
Bet you would not go now!!
I live close to Mexico and I miss going to Mexico and eating their wonderful food. I feel so sorry for our friends in Mexico. They are so scared for their families.
I guess the question to ask in regards to presidents and abortion is, do presidents have anything to do with it?
Reagan and Bush were both very pro-life, but did they get abortions outlawed or even moved to being a state’s decision? Would Johnson or Paul veto anti-abortion legislation? That to me would be the important question. But I doubt it would ever get to them, even if we had both houses. It is a topic that politicians use on the trail, but dont put much effort into in office.
Headline is up on Drudge and the story has been bouncing around Twitter for the past 45 minutes.
“I can’t say I’d vote Romney just to keep Obama out.”
In which case I assume you would not be posting anything critical of Obama during his second term?
Bachman needs to move on from the Gardisal issue....and how many kids she’s raised etc. She needs a better focus then that...and she wasn’t really on the mark tonight. She’s coming across as a mother running for office now...and trying hard to say the right things..and it’s noticable. She’s better then what we keep seeing...sorry to see her flounder.
Not the first time that's happened. After criticizing Obama for not taking action in Libya and repeating over and over that Gadaffi needs to go... Once the bombing started there was a disappearing act until just before the start of the first GOP debates.
I hope that you are right. I really like Herman Cain and he is my pick out of all of them, I just don’t know if he can win the nomination.
