Perry called us heartless and suggested we were racist. He will NEVER get my vote.
Hey one minute you are beating your chest about Christian principles and now you demand to demean the topic into a ‘religious’ discussion’.” <<<
That “chest” line was mine. And this is not a discussion thread on religion. You don’t get to parse your peoples. If they’re suffering and they’re here, brother, you fix it and not in your favor by rigging it for your self gratification. Most of us know the difference between victims and villains. Done on that.
Some of us know what illegal means.
Yes indeed 'chest' was your line, accusatory at that. Honey YOU injected Christian principles as to what is required of US. Oh the worst 'villains' are the wolves dressed in sheep's clothing.
Yes it does, that is what he said when questioned about the in state tuition law.
“Some of us know what illegal means.”
The definition is not the problem. The lack of enforcement is. The lack of enforcement wasn’t the illegal’s idea. The lack of enforcement has been the dang dog whistle. Fix that. It’s called problem solving.
We wouldn’t have to worry about the whistle if the dog stayed in its own yard. Leash the dog.
I am heartless when it comes to immigration.
When Perry said that I thought—yes, I am, what of it...I am darn tired of the problem.
When they start seriously working towards fixing the problem, I may find some heart.
When he said it ‘doesn’t matter your name’... I didn’t take it that he was implying people were racist.
I thought it appeared he was trying to seem open and approachable for the Hispanic folk. Not scary as everyone claims the evil Republicans are.
It was prob’ly not the best choice of words and there is some pandering but they all darn well do it.
**************************
“If you’ve been in the state of Texas for three years, and working toward citizenship, you pay in-state tuition,” said Perry. “It doesn’t matter what the sound of your last name is. That’s the American way.”
It doesn’t matter what the sound of your last name is.
It doesn’t matter the color of your skin.
Both statements are saying the same thing and both pertain to race.
We wouldn’t have to worry about the whistle if the dog stayed in its own yard. Leash the dog. “ <<<
Wrong again. You simply put a sock in the dog whistle.
Oh and he might have have been able to talk his way out of the first, MAYBE, but he confirmed that people took it the right way as racist when he added that they had no heart the next debate.
Oh so you just ignore the problem and hope it goes away. That is why we have the problem we do today. People kept ignoring it. That doesn’t solve anything. It creates a larger problem.
“...The lack of enforcement wasn’t the illegal’s idea. The lack of enforcement has been the dang dog whistle...”
So if I don’t lock my gate and someone steals my bicycle off the back porch, it’s my fault?
No, Rita. You’re making excuses for criminal behavior. It is criminal behavior in the Mexico just as it is in the USA.
I can understand it is unforgivable to some.
For me it wasn’t. It is a fact— I AM heartless when it comes to immigration, I’ve had enough. It was the truth about me, so it didn’t offend me.
The sound of the name thing was bad form. I think it is prob’ly some canned speech lines that he has often used and he didn’t realize it wouldn’t play the same in debates.
Maybe he did know and he’s a what-ya-see-is-what-ya-get type of person. I don’t know, still watching him, though.
I’m not making excuses for him.I can only say how I received his words and I can see/understand how it offends others.
Marco Rubio is wonderful, tea party loves him
He gets elected
He does not want to sign some tea party pledge of something
Conservatives yell and scream Rubio is a RINO we have to get him out and elect someone else.
Rubio stays above the fray of the attacks on him and begins making Reaganesque speeches, powerful and worth applause
Conservatives that had just called him a RINO now cheer him on and say how great he is. Forgetting of course that with their previous breath they were wanting to kick him out.
Then the posts and threads begin how Rubio would make a great president how can we get him to enter the race or at least be a VP
Jump to this article and now once again Rubio is trashed, called a Rino again and the same BS reaction starts again attacking a good man.
I am so sick of seeing this happen over and over. Rubio is a good man and Florida should be grateful he has been elected.
She said the same in 2010 when talking to Bill O’Reilly about immigration.
I see people arguing about whether you start stopping and deporting illegals, or simply start enforcing current law. Why not do both? I don’t buy the premise that keeps getting put out there in the media that we can’t possibly do anything about all the illegals here, all we can do is stem the flow of more coming in. Balderdash. That’s pure defeatism. We can flush the law breakers from their dens and send them packing, and if we want to continue to have an America that refers to more than geographic location, we MUST.
“Q: 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.

Oh the horror! Better put her in the RINO category too!
Truly I dont know what else People expected. This is what Happens when everyone listens to a Speech by someone and then go Gagag Over them before looking at their Record and following them for awhile. Can you say OBAMA,OBAMA,YES WE CAN!
