If you don’t secure the border first, you are not only wasting your time, you are making the problem exponentially worse. To Perry campaign team: Call rewrite.
Thanks for all the posts, CW. The patron saint of hopeless causes has been invoked and seems to be listening.
In their attempts to make points by hitting on Gov. Perry, the other candidates have alienated the block of legal voters with Hispanic ties (many descendants from Hispanics who fought for Texas independence and others who have been Americans for decades) needed for a 2012 victory up and down the ballot. They’ve already compromised our chances of beating Obama. In the end (if there is a nominee other than Perry) when the general election votes are counted and the electoral college numbers are tallied, their gaffes on that will be much greater than Gov. Perry’s gaffe in the Michigan debate.
