Chris Wallace sucks
______________
Huge understatement....!


I rated the candidates +/- on their replies and I also rated the moderators on their questions.

Chris Wallace came up as 0 + and -8. Every question he asked was snarky and smarmy. He’s just like his dispicable dad and always trys to blind-side whoever he is interviewing. Chris is nothing but slime and would fit right in on MSNBC.

Here's another that goes to 2011

Now if so many was immigration in general decreased, you can bet they are more adamant about illegal migration.

This is from 2010 - Seems to be a pretty big issue

http://www.mcclatchydc.com/2010/05/12/94050/most-americans-approve-of-arizonas.html

WASHINGTON — A strong majority of Americans support Arizona’s controversial new immigration law and would back similar laws in their own states, a new McClatchy-Ipsos poll found.

Sixty-one percent of Americans — and 64 percent of registered voters — said they favored the law in a survey of 1,016 adults conducted May 6-9.

Strikingly, nearly half of Democrats like the law, under which local law enforcement officers are tasked with verifying people’s immigration status if they suspect them of being in the country illegally. While the Democratic Party generally is regarded as more sympathetic to illegal immigrants’ plights, 46 percent of Democrats said they favored the law for Arizona and 49 percent said they’d favor the law’s passage in their own states.

More than 8 in 10 Republicans and 54 percent of independents favor the law.

In addition, about 69 percent of Americans said they wouldn’t mind if police officers stopped them to ask for proof of their citizenship or legal rights to be in the country; about 29 percent would mind, considering it a violation of their rights; and about 3 percent were unsure.

I think he was going to say the question about Pakistan and the nukes. But he got flustered. I wish Perry had answered that one, too.

No I’m saying there are a ton of grants out there provided by the government that they qualify for because of who they are and not necessarily by merit. The different grants available from the government for various groups is mind boggling. Besides, we are a nation of laws not of men. That is the great equalizer. When we become a nation where we raise people above our laws it raises the “needs” of one group over the rest of the country.

The main argument seems to be “but it’s not their fault!” If my father is a great guy & a hard worker but he drives drunk and kills 3 people that action is going to affect me for the rest of my life. That clearly isn’t my fault, it’s his. We bend over more for these children than we do for children of our military whose parents die fighting for their country. Those college education dollars for these young people come from private foundations. Why not offer in state tuition to these kids in any state they want to live in?

Oh, and even without the grants (and let’s not forget government loans), yes the people do pay for children of illegals even if they don’t get financial aid. There are usually thousands of dollars different between in state and out of state tuition. Who absorbs that cost difference?

Looked like about half were Romney supporters in the before and about 2/3 after. I can’t stand the Luntz panels, they are sorted and contrived. Any thinking person who listens to this claptrap needs their head examined.

Don’t tell us the Federal Government isn’t throwing money your way to stop illegals....Perry won’t disperse that which he is given and you wonder why the gov. says no to his recent requests....so where’s the money going?????

An average of $125 million...’ annually’... in Department of Homeland Security funding has gone to the state since 2006. ....

Perry has consistently sent LESS THAN 10% of those funds to border law enforcement agencies, where they are most needed.

http://www.texasinsider.org/?p=26695

No boots on the ground? Huh?

Of those more than 20,000 agents in 2010, more than 17,000 worked along the southweatern border, much of which is Texas.

Perry’s own office has a Homeland Security Stragtegic Plan that notes......: “ that local and state law enforcement officials PARTNER WITH federal agencies like the U.S. Border Patrol”.... and also notes that part of Texas’ $200 million investment since 2005 to fill border security gaps ...”came from federal grants.”

I know all about those preferential grants. They existed back in the 1970’s when I was in college and they exist today. When I started college, there were grants yes... but they were based on merit.. performance, i.e., grades.

I agree that that was the intent. That was how I understood it so I was surprised to find that he met her AFTER.

Why do you say that? I watched maybe half of the thing, didn’t seem like a big “Romney win” to me. The (somewhat) less lousy Perry is the one ahead in the polls.

Whether I like it or not, the winners IMHO thus far are Cain & Romney. Losers are Perry and Bachmann. Newt and Santorum do better than most give them credit. Huntsman has been more tolerable this time, but is still intolerable. Johnson is one and done. Ron Paul remains half-genius and half-madman.

I thought Santorum did the best job tonight. The guy is highly intelligent and articulate... I just wish he could gain more traction in this race.

If I had to rank what I think the Top 3 best debate performances tonight, I’d say:

1) Santorum
2) Cain
3) Gingrich

I think there are solutions much better than putting prison walls around our country.

Well with that attitude that these are "prison walls" it's understandable why you would not understand the need to secure our country.

If my neighbor has a trash hole to live in and cares not to keep up his own yard, rather comes into mine and drops his trash here where I've worked my butt off to maintain my property ,then you can be certain a fence will go up to keep them off and secure my property.

Has nothing to do with Prison walls....nobody in the USA is running to Mexico to live....

That's why I asked. I was curious if my son would qualify for that scholarship since he is the first in our family to go to college.

In-State Freshmen
Tuition and fees (15 credits/semester): $11,722

Non-Michigan Freshmen
Tuition and fees (15 credits/semester): $29,160

And these don't have housing added yet.

“Bachman on HANNITY is saying that Perry lied about the cancer suffering lobbyist because she didn’t appear before Perry until AFTER he introduced it.”

Bachman is right on this one. She met with him because he had introduced the bill and the girl offered to help on this issue as she herself had the disease. It is also true that from that point on Perry went out of his way to be kind to the girl and indeed befriended her and went to her funeral when she died. However, Bachman is accurate in saying that it was after he had already introduced the bill that he met this girl.


I don’t recall Perry saying in the debate that he had met with this woman BEFORE he proposed the vaccine. He only said described her as a “lobbyist” for the MPV vaccine because she was already ill. The term “lobbyist” was used in response to Bachmann’s false claim that he only pursued the vaccine due to lobbyists. ...Stop spinning or you’ll get real dizzy.
