... Perry’s immigration views just lost my vote.
Damn, Ron Paul is making more sense to me than anyone else I hear tonight.
... and that scares me.
He is letting them get wee wee’d up.
Duncan Hunter got a bill passed to build a fence but.....good ol' Kay Bailey was one that voted not to fund that fence.
BTW, CA built part of the fence and it works!
>I’d like to see that “study”.
‘’Remind me later...
Yep...the immigration issue kills him. He’s dead, Jim...
Yep, I saw that, also that he is engaged to be married and his fiancee lives with him. My sympathy was misplaced.
Perry, I’ve noticed usually starts out weak but gets stronger as the debate continues. He seems to be continuing that pattern tonight.
Yes, he is a treasure...but...and I don’t mean to insult ANYONE...no more white-haired, establishmen candidates. We need NEW blood!
FOX is pimping for Romney, he talks way beyond his time and nobody stops him.
You had better go do some research on the North American Union before you make statements like that.
His illegals tuition will take him down.
Hey, Gov Perry -
the freakin’ Chinese built a humongous wall back in the day so what the hey...
if you build it, THEY won’t come!
I don’t like Mitt, but I agreed with him and Santorum on the education of Illegal Immigrants program in TX. I have educated 3 with no federal help, it really hurts to see certain classes getting a free ride based on being illegal??!?!?! It may have been overwhelmingly supported in TX, but Perry should not be supporting it—especially in a NATIONAL ELECTION.
Paul and Bachmann anted in too...Perry is wrong in supporting this issue.
Eww...I’m agreeing with Ron Paul again.
What’s going on here?
I think I am beginning to understand Sarah’s plan to wait a bit. Holy cow, what a lot of nutty stuff from the front runners and genius from the “soon to out” folks.
Perry got BOOED LOUDLY on illegals tuition discounts,
Wow I totally agree with Ron Paul!!! Hell froze over!!!
Me ,too!
