What does Bush have to do with anything?
agreed
I would really like some time from Gary Johnson
But he is to be ignored, apparently.
Bachmann does very well when she gets a chance to speak.
Perry and Romney are stumbling badly. They are getting bloodied and Palin is going to look like a genius for waiting. If she gets in, she will have a significant advantage because these nine will have exposed to weaknesses of each other without her having to do it herself.
Oh you’re just being ‘heartless’. ;)
Good on you.
Unfortunately, there's tomorrow, and the day after, etc. Crazy Ron will be back. :)
Exxactly...and they know more about state laws regarding immigration than most Americans....Perry's in with Fox on "joining" his southern border with Fox's Northern Boder as one "community
I am not for feeding stray dogs, makes them stick around, but if the guy across town wants to feed him, fine by me.
You didnt vote for your state rep or senator?
If Santorum had the balls to say that, I might have some respect for him
In-state tuition is not a free ride and I certainly missed where Perry said he wanted other states to pay for anyone's tuition in Texas.
>These kids MUST SHOW thathey are working toward citizenship to have the privilege of PAYING in state tuition rates.
They must SHOW that they have been residents for 3 years.
That is the only requirement that a US citizen must show if they also wish to participate.<
It’s too bad Perry didn’t point out the above in the debate.
I have been told that on a number of occasions ;)
You don't need to be a Texan to understand that.
It's inordinately clear.
I did not know his cancer had spread to the liver.
That response will prove to be the beginning of his decline. Some of his true colors were just exposed.
Wish Perry would've asked that.
