Are you aware of that speech? Mi casa, su casa, yo disfruto povres trabajadores Mexicanos and bla bla bla -- yo homes, come on up and bid our wages down some more!

No I was not. If you can find me a reference I will include it my list.

Seems the Perry supporters either don't care about the issue of Illegal Immigration/Open Borders/Amnesty or they'll ignore anything to get their guy elected or both.

Really sad!

As listed in the article: "An average of the seven most recent polls of Republican voters (the six contained in the Real Clear Politics average plus the Economist / YouGov poll) finds Mr. Romney with the lead, with an average of 22 percent of the vote. "

” In 2004 Bush ran against Kerry. “ <<<<

My bad. You are of course absolutely correct. Thanks for the correction. I need another perm, to jump start my brain grid. :)

Perry has 56% Name Recognition because the field is desperate for a real winning candidate over the current bunch.

His record is solid. Enough so, that the country realizes that his kind of experience will be our best chance to correct the mess this BAD experiment called Obama, has inflicted.

There is only ONE issue: beat Obama.
All of the others are secondary.

Until he actually supports a border fence....

Yep. Let's spend 49 Billion Dollars (projected cost) on a Border Fence that illegals can easily climb over and cut through.

Girls undermine entire US border strategy in under 18 seconds

Those girls were awfully slow at 18 seconds. This is how fast male illegals can climb over the Border Fence.

Unless Perry is willing to spend 49 Billion Dollars on a useless Border Fence, then according to people like SoConPubbie, Perry is "Open Border".

Hey Jackass, you do know that Duncan Hunter's fence along the border of California cut illegal Immigration by 90%, right?
