The Country Clubbers, in general, didn't like most of his staff choices, but they managed to get control of the Senate Campaign Committee. The higher order "DONORS" (who imagine they own the party) were of a couple of minds about it all ~ which kept Mike on the job longer than was comfortable for a lot of folks.

I don't think the Bushies liked him, and Fur Shur with Obama having become President, he was definitely in the wrong minority (for some).

At the same time, he was the RNC Chairman in office at the time of the Greatest Midterm Election Victory in Republican History!

He's got that, and the best the next guy can do is going to be SECOND ~

To a degree many of Mike's enemies were tired of Right To Life and considered it a Catholic/Baptist distraction. To a degree many of Mike's enemies continue to be tired of Right To Life and continue to attempt to smear him just to remind the RTL folks that there are other elements in the Republican party ~ frankly, they should go form their own "Republicans Who Kill Babies" party or something and leave the rest of us alone. I am tired of that crowd.

No, a person from New Mexico who did his 3 years of school in Texas would not qualify UNLESS HIS PARENT OR GUARDIAN QUALIFIED.

The law is fairly complex and is clearly designed to keep AMERICANS from cheating.

I've answered your questions with as much politeness and sincerity as you have shown mine.

Please kind Sir, when has Perry ever come out against illegals in Texas? Hmmm? Not during the debate that's for sure. And of course, Liberals, such as, say, you, always have to come out with their potty mouth whenever they, like you, cannot come up with answers and have to resort to name calling, thereby loosing the argument as you have just shown.

Have a Nice Evening.

So you have no problem with Romney and Romney care

Which of your orifaces did you pull that question/statement out of? What give you the right to put words into my mouth?

If you want to ask a question, then ask a question, don't make an assertion of my beliefs on my behalf, especially on a topic that I have not expressed an opinion. You're just a shade away from being another f'n liar here posting on FR.

But since you asked...I don't think I would want to be subject to 'Romneycare' but I really don't give a dam since I don't live in Massechutsetts. Its their state, they can vote it in, vote it out, or leave.

Kinda the beauty of having differing state governments, isn't it?

Actually, a person from New Mexico only has to establish residency in Texas for ONE year to get in-state rates. That’s standard here in MO too.

It’s 3 years in a Texas HIGH SCHOOL for illegals.

then, what taxes or resident fees subsidize your “resident tuition”?

why the accusation that resident tuition is such a cost to the resident taxpayers of Texas if granted to noncitizen residents?

You are a typical POS Perry supporter. I did ask you a question you lying sack. I don’t give a darn what you think of me because I think you’re a loser.

We were talking about states rights, you jerk.

Your boy is running for President. He has to take a national outlook. That requires him to repudiate his previous mistakes.

This is a mistake and it's time for him to repudiate it. Else, he's stuck in that LBJ "big Texas little United States" syndrome that would direct him to build another "Johnson Space Center" and you should have seen the Post Offices that dude got ~ HUGE and a lot of them.

Cut and run, eh?

Call names, fail to support your positions, then declare some sort of self congratulatory victory, the run.

Your efforts are classic Epic Failure.

Or they’ll end up forming a subculture and an economy and end up staying.

Wow. I pay in-state tuition and do not believe that my payments are subsidized. Perhaps you want to think that non-resident/out of state tuition actually subsidizes resident students? Perhaps.

why the accusation that resident tuition is such a cost to the resident taxpayers of Texas if granted to noncitizen residents?

Culd you re-phrase that question, I do not understand what you are asking. I don't recall making any accusations regarding tuition.

........Which also means she will need some educating on the subject.(referring to Palin)

This may wind up being the key to conservative success.

We may be stuck with a RINO potus.

The leaders right now are Romney/Perry. Chances are good one will be the next potus.

Until the primaries are over we will do all we can to install someone else who has true conservative values but reality may strike us once again and we may get the RINO blues come Jan of 2013. Since that is a more than 50/50 proposition.

The solution of immigration and other issues will be placed squarely on our shoulders should we get a rino potus.

It will be up to us to light fires,twist arms and stop funding those who go rino instead of Conservative as long as we don't aide the other side.

It's a tight rope to walk but we will probably be there.

Hey, GeronL, tell little normy here WHO BROUGHT THIS ONE UP long ago and kept pounding on it year after lonely year.

Normy, I used it in my litany that the way Texas handles instate tuition they give it away to Mexicans and treat American citizens like second class scum. That makes it an anti-American act ~ and TERRIBLY UNPATRIOTIC.

That's what you're really arguing against ~ not on behalf of Texas doing with its own money what they want, but discriminating against Americans.

Federal law already says you can't do that.

If your boy can't get it right why would we Republicans want to run him as our Presidential Candidate against the guy with the Kenyan baby-daddy? He's gone around apologizing for everything any jerkwater foreign puke might think America is responsible for ~ why compound it with a guy who actually participates in Anti-American activities in America?

Really, you guys have no shame.

Perry has to straighten up his act, and if it takes getting the legislature to act to help him out he's got little time to do it before he's washed down the drains of political history.

If they’re renting, the rent would take into account property taxes.

So you saw that I already addressed the kool aid issue?

Another untruth from you.

I can understand how hard it is to have someone forcefully and openly confront you on your specific lies. You are not used to it. You are used to saying anything you want, about whomever you want without accountability.

Sorry, those are childish tendencies and Liberal habits.

Are you a Liberal? I doubt it. Are you lazy in your facts and loose with the truth and quick to toss lables regardless of precision? Abundantly so.

It's not their money, it's really our money.
