According to the DSHS website, opt outs are good for2 years. But the. Plan was to change to1 in 2007. I think that was one reason the TMA turned on the. Governor. (On phone, so no links for reference. )

It’s a state of mind. Fed up with big government and lying politicians. Fed up with nanny interference in our daily lives. Fed up with being taxed so big spenders can live in the style to which they have become accustomed. Fed up with the corruption. Fed Up.
If you want a local TEA party, start one. Seriously.

This one about Perry!!

[MestaMachine]

Can’t do it, can ya? Running on empty, so run, baby, run. You know what’s really *juvenile*? Putting forth an argument you can’t defend. THAT’S juvenile. It’s like my three year old saying, “Because, that’s why”
See ya. It’s been....illuminating.

After 11 years of reforms by Perry, Texas still ranks at the bottom of many educational indicators. Texas has the fewest percentage of adults with high school diplomas, compared to the other U.S. states.

As a resident of the People's Socialst RepubliK of Illannoyed, I can *factually* tell you that Illinois ranks *worse* than Texas. Here in Illinois, 3 out of 4 kids graduating high school are NOT ready for College, that according to a Chicago Tribune front page article from just last week. (This is why I send my kids to PRIVATE school here...)

Can Texas beat that?

One of the perpetrators of this fiasco was none other than Obama's secretary of education, Arne Duncan who drove the Chicago Public School system right into the ditch. As if it wasn't bad enough with a barely 70% graduation rate when Duncan took over, he drove the rate down into the low 50% range.

Texas is also ranked low in high school graduation rate.

Once again, see Illinois and the damage Arne Duncan, backed by Barack Hussein Obama have done. Surely, Texas can be no worse than it is here..

Texas is 49th in verbal SAT scores in the nation and 46th in average math SAT scores. Can we trust him to reform Washington?

Oddly, that's where Illinois is. Sure you aren't confusing Illinois with Texas?

Look, I'm not the world's biggest Rick Perry fan, I'm just starting to 'warm up to the guy' because frankly, I've become an "ABBO" (Any Body But Obama) kinda guy. I can't imagine someone doing worse damage to this country than Obama has.

We’re on another thread now. Get with the program. We can argue there if you come up with something intelligent to contribute.

How does it compare against other states with similar black and hispanic populations?

Who gave the following answers in an interview that touched on the subject of illegal immigrants?

Q:  Do you think they all should be deported?

A:&bnsp; There is no way that in the US we would roundup every illegal immigrant -there are about 12 million of the illegal immigrants- not only economically is that just an impossibility but that's not a humane way anyway to deal with the issue that we face with illegal immigration.

*   *   *

Q:  To clarify, so you support a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants?

A:  I do because I understand why people would want to be in America. To seek the safety and prosperity, the opportunities, the health that is here. It is so important that yes, people follow the rules so that people can be treated equally and fairly in this country.

But that’s confirming my perception.. it’s a movement/a state of mind. No hard i

We already have a local group and I’ve attended a few events but it’s always been more events, no membership. I think as soon as it gets there, it loses its power and effectiveness.

[grey_whiskers]

Maybe I'm crazy but I kinda like big business. That's where the jobs are.

Yeah, especially in India and China.

Support small and medium business. That's where US job growth comes from.

Oh, wait. Palin's family was *in* a small business.

Cheers!

We’re stuck with both the educable and uneducated by the feds. Preferring the former doesn’t make anyone a. RINO.

[hocndoc]

You’re hopeless, clueless and irrationally biased. Your “facts “ are skewed to your bias.
This is a marker, Mark, for more complete answer, later.

I sounds good to say you will vote for the most electable candidate, but in reality, as I have stated before, if the candidate who is most electable is not a conservative then we are screwed either way. If Obama, or a non-conservative is elected in 2012 this nation probably won’t survive. Show me where Perry is a true conservative and a patriot that stands up for the constitution as written by the founders. He seems more like a liberal lite John McCain type to me.

[grey_whiskers]

Here, Rowdy, suck on this.

Cheers!

BUT, in order to get your immunizations paid for by Medicaid, SCHIP, or your insurance provider, it has to be a state mandated immunization.

And we ALL know that Medicaid and SCHIP are the epitome of small-government conservatism.

Game, set, and MATCH.

Perry's a RINO. You FAIL.

Cheers!

[grey_whiskers]

It's called "Survival of the Fittest."

Lots of established posters have got the ZOT when it came out they weren't really conservative, or were seriously intent on undermining one or more planks of the conservative platform.

This is NOT a GOP site, it is a conservative site.

Classic mistake, to think that if someone has been on this site ten years, that they have blue hair.

Second mistake, is to disallow the wisdom which comes with either age or experience.

Third mistake it to abrogate to yourself the role of arbitor of respect: just because you are behaving badly enough to have completely EARNED the contempt directed at you, doesn't mean that the people despising you are doing it just because you threaten them.

They're doing it because you are merely a troll, and it's gotten obvious.

Cheers!

[grey_whiskers]

Yup. He IS a cutie. Ugly men just hate that about him!

Real men are not particularly concerned with other mens' looks.

Freudian slip on your part, no doubt.

Cheers!

So our most recent entry into the race, Perry is the only one who has spoken to La Raza?

Cool burrito beans.
