I thought I was agreeing with you.
It's too hard to keep up with the dynamics these days. It's why I wasn't posting much on threads about the primaries.
I believe I'll resume that stance. :-)
You people are desperate. You'll even smear Brewer to whitewash Perry.
Palin..Brewer...(what about Arpaio?) .all must be thrown under the bus to support Ricky Ricardo....
A “magnet” that draws people to stay put for 3 years, keep their kids out of trouble with the law and make sure that they attend their last 3 years in and graduate from a Texas high school.
If only the Feds allowed us to identify and deport the families when they first enroll their kids in our grades K-12, or before they attend their last 3 years of high school, we wouldn’t have the problem in the first place.

Is the ONLY way you can defend Perry is to attack someone else? How 5th grade of you.
Yes does strange things to otherwise decent people...sigh...
I'm not in charge of anything and don't have a vote. Of course, on the surface I am not in favor of granting in state tuition to illegals and I don't understand why it's gaining favor in state legislatures, but it is. The bill in TX passed nearly unanimously. Why? I don't know.
I'm asking for all these candidates to be treated equally. While everyone is aiming at Perry, others are not being asked the same tough questions and I dare say that those who are having a fit about Perry signing this have no idea if the others would have done the same thing, or not. I am just asking for the candidates to be treated fairly.
It is clear, we do not have one single candidate who is as pure as we want--not one!!
“She will get in and has an excellent shot on taking the nomination”
I’d be very surprised at that. I love Sarah, too but I think she was waiting to see if a real conservative would move up. She’s got that now in Cain and I think she would work her butt off to get him elected.
“But to set the record straight, it was the state of Texas, and most specifically its lawfully elected legislature that drafted the legislation and passed it with only 4 votes of 181 possible to vote against it. Yes, Governor Perry signed it into law, but it was a definitively bi-partisan initiative that the people of Texas clearly wanted to see become law.”
Horse puckey. The people of Texas were shafted by a gerrymandered legislature and the same RINO crowd that still runs the state in contravention of its conservative population’s wishes. Perry is a member of that RINO crowd, which is why Texans voted for him in far smaller percentages than for other statewide Republican candidates in 2010. The people of Texas are and have been against Perry’s aid to illegals program from the start.
“Additionally, Governor Perry has actual compassion for these children who ended up in his state, outside of their own doing. Educating them gets them working and contributing to the state’s treasury faster, and is more meaningful than letting them sit on the sidelines.”
Even in Texas, where many U.S. citizens aren’t working, these children are getting tax dollars to not work, but take slots from U.S. citizens in competitive admissions processes and limited university aid programs. It’s bad enough that he essentially gave preferential treatment to so many people breaking the law, but no one on the right side of the aisle seems to even want to make the point that Perry unabashedly, eagerly used government to take from Americans and redistribute to these people, when he professes conservatism. It’s just fine to want to help people, but to take money away from others to do it is flat out wrong. No surprise that the Perry camp, so big on ‘conservative principles,’ shies away from any discussion of the philosophical implications of taking taxpayers’ money so any kids, let alone illegals’ kids, can benefit.
So you are now reduced to defending Perry by throwing mud on others? That's it? He's dirty so you have to smear others to make him look clean? Pretty pathetic.
the pig is obozo stupid, Perry is the man, wake up!!!!!
BTW, as an aside...
Apparently Obama has quite the record for deportations.
I seems that he has sent home over 1 million illegal immigrants in 2-1/2 years — on pace to deport more in one term than George W. Bush did in two.
Hows that **** working out for us?
Aunt Tootzie is still here. Uncle Oyango is still here (both on the public dole) but according to Reuters Obama is the man on Illegal immigration
Yeah. Pretty disgusting. Emotion has gotten the better of them.
Donna, the children of people who move here - or the young adults themselves - get in state tuition after only one year of residency, regardless of where they went to high school or their past trouble with the law.
(That’s in contrast to the requirement of finishing the last 3 years of school in a Texas High School, graduating from a Texas High School, and the additional requirement to stay out of trouble with the law.)
You think you can create a path for Palin by destroying Perry and if that would happen, Palin may be in for the same kind of scrutiny. She quit when liberals went after her in AK, what will she do when they come after her here?
When emotion takes over thought and fact go out the window.
I've had enough of the theatrics and tantrums. I'm leaving the thread. They can go down with the ship. Alone.
So he said a dumb thing, one dumb thing. Is that reason enough to throw him under the bus, when we agree with him on 90% of everything else and he can get Obama out of the White House.
Let he/she who never inadvertently or in the heat of a moment insulted a loved one throw the first stone.
He probably also got bad advice, that instead of just being himself, to use emotional words, who knows.
We all agree it was dumb, I am sure he didn’t mean it that way and we need to put things in perspective.
There is a third issue which to my mind is even more important.
Perry favors giving the illegals here today amnesty.
Rick Perry: "I support a guest worker program that takes undocumented workers off the black market and legitimizes their economic contributions without providing them citizenship status."
He's calling it a "guest worker" program but that is doublespeak. A guest worker program would be for workers in Mexico who came here temporarily for work and then returned to Mexico. He wants to legalize the foreign citizens who are already here and snuck in illegally and taking jobs.
Slick Rico thinks he just has to call his amnesty program a "guest worker" program and that we will all be too dumb to understand what he is doing.
