Perry is a conservative? Mandating vaccines by the state? Paying for illegal aliens and not maintaining borders? Huh? What am I missing here...or what are YOU missing?

Bachmann just said the first thing she will do is repeal ObamaCare. Last debate, she was all screechy a president could not repeal it. It would have to be done through the legislature.

Whole debate was boring. Candidates are boring.
Like Mark Levin, we may end up voting for orange juice can.

What you're missing is that both the vaccine flap and the whole question of what tuition is charged at Texas universities are trivial. Neither subject tells you much of anything meaningful about a candidate and this obsession with both is stupid and self-destructive.

Illegal immigration is important because a wave of unassimilated foreigners from an alien political culture gaining citizenship would swamp our political system. Tuition rates have nothing to do with any path to citizenship which isn't a matter Perry has any influence over. Nothing he has ever advocated threatens to make the risk to our system of illegal immigration even slightly greater. Anyone who thinks that the lure of instate tuition is a big draw for immigrants is a lunatic.

Perry would be neither more nor less likely than any other Republican President to address our illegal immigration problem effectively. He would probably be less hostile to immigration enforcement than either Obama or Bush. There is no reason to believe he would push for “comprehensive immigration reform.” The next President, like the current one, will have much more pressing matters to attend to.

The whole immigration argument is a silly distraction staged for the purpose of promoting Romney's candidacy and the perpetuation of the status quo. It's a shame to see so many conservatives taking the bait.
