Glad E-Verify and immigration is coming up.
The laws on the books would send all illegals back home and she admitted in the first debate she wouldn’t do that.
Perry is doing well - he has learned some techniques from the last two debates.
Yup. That is a big IF.
Perry, don’t forget, was for tuition for students of illegals - wasn’t he?
heee it comes/ illegals taking our jobs....
Newt is scoring some points with that answer.
She doesn’t know “squat”, eh? Man, that is a great rebuttal. NOT.
Newt says what I want to hear on illegals!
E-verify would never work without FED enforcement and deportation of those caught by it.
Ew!
He didn’t veto letting children of illegals pay for their own in-state tuition.
Si.
And our local, new school supe wants to get rid of NCLB so it must be doing some good...
I agree 100% and wish that they'd give him more time. He is the whole package....experience, common sense and non career politician......
Michelle Bachman ought to pack it in, she comes off as not very knowledgeable and will never make it. Huntsman and Santorum and Newt will never make it either
I also heard that John Kerry was in Vietnam. :)
Thanks.
I’m not settling for second best. I just think that it is counter productive for Republicans to make their case for their candidate by attacking the front runner. If the candidate can’t make it on their own, they don’t deserve to make it.
Your methods will simply play right into the hands of the Democrats and help them pick our candidate for us.
Ron Paul is a nut and his promoters aren’t much better.
“President Fox’s vision for an open border is a vision I embrace, as long as we demonstrate the will to address the obstacles to it.”

You had better know your facts before calling someone a liar. Anyone can go and see the transcript of his speech and see how open boarders he is.
