Then they are not looking at the state of our country and what's happening on the International scene either. This isn't a popularity contest as you know... OoOps Bee Bee is speaking...got to hear...
Illegals may have been in Texas for 3 years, but they are there illegally, so therefore are not legal residents.
Except in Rick Perry's mind; and perhaps in the minds of some other RINOS.
So you’re for educating and giving tuition breaks to illegals?
I’m asking a question, no words in your mouth? Are you approving of Perry’s illegal immigrant actions???
Wow. Spin much?
This was A single report from the scene. It might have been true; it might have been bull. I'm not the reporter, I wasn't on the scene and neither were you.
If you believe everything you read, from ANY source or camp, that's your problem, not mine.
You see, it is a residency requirement that you forfeited when you moved.
Nice spin. I never said you said it. I’m asking you again. Are you for Perry’s illegal immigration actions in his state or not?
But you wasted no time in putting it out here with no real disclaimers.
Just like that thread about Ron Paul encouraging Sarah Palin to run. You put that in your headline and yet, there was no such mention of Palin or of Paul encouraging her to run in the Ron Paul article you linked.
That's Paul-spinning and Paulbots excel at that.
But I'll call 'em on it when I catch 'em.
If you believe everything you read, from ANY source or camp, that's your problem, not mine.
LOL - you clearly don't know me well at all. And there are posts going waaay back to dispute your silly little accusation.
But again, that's another classic Paulbot tactic. Well done! The Ron Paul Forums people will be proud of you. :-)
Listen, miss ‘evasive loop hole’....I have you figured out. If Obama were against abortion and continued his stance on every other issue taking this country into an isalmic, sharia law,socialist or communist state, and Romney were our Repub nominee..you would have no problem voting for Obama. To hell with our country ..it’s all about my one selfish issue.
Then the GOP establishment better think long and hard before they pass out the clothespins and ask us to hold our nose again.
General concensus from friends I know who are only marginally paying attention: Romney is too slick. Car Salesman in Chief is not what they’re looking for. (No offense to car salesman.)
Ding, ding, ding...earth to Allegra. The title of the thread was the exact title of the article as it was published in US News. Want to retitle it or rewrite it, send your gripes to US News -- or someone actually who gives a damn. Your schoolyard name-calling doesn't impress.
Bibi kicked butt.
“Then the GOP establishment better think long and hard before they pass out the clothespins and ask us to hold our nose again.”
I hope they do...but I’m not going to vote for Hussein to try to teach them some kind of “lesson”.
I never said anything about teaching them a lesson.
Is abortion your main issue? Are you for Perry’s illegal immigration actions in his state?
