When the issue is properly explained 99% of the people agree with Perry’s possition.

You have to remember that this passed the Texas legislature (one of the most conservative in the country) with all but 4 votes out of 150 voting for it. You couldn’t pass hardly anything with that kind of support anywhere much less Texas.

If you're looking for rational posters who want to discuss factual issues, this isn't the site. There is a thread titled "Rick Perry Lied About Cancer Victim", and in the thread it is repeatedly pointed out that he didn't lie about meeting the woman who died from cervical cancer. I even pinged the Admins about it, and instead of changing the thread title, I was lectured about how Perry lied. I then replied to the Admin asking him to point out the lie that Perry told. I've yet to hear back, but the false thread title still holds.

FR seems to be an anti-Perry site these day, and I feel like I'm fighting a losing battle, which is going to lead to pro-choice Romney as the nominee. When the Admins allow blatant falsehoods to be posted about Rick Perry, and do nothing about it except lie themselves, it's obvious.

You continue to provide very valuable information to non-border state residents about why it is NOT in the interest of the rest of the US to have presidents, and other politicians from border states, making decision about immigration for the nation as a whole.

Examples: George W.Bush. John McCain, John Kyl, Kay Bailey Hutchinson, and Rick Perry.

Border state politicians transfer their pandering and inability to deal with the illegal alien problem to the rest of the nation if allowed to do so.
