It’s about as low as you can go and not be underneath something

Well, I apologize. But you are suspicious enough with your continued anti-hispanic comments. Look, the fact is, Texas has a LOT of them. We have to incorporate them into daily life. Its easy for people from the outside to shake their finger in our faces and call us names. We get tired of it. I notice just about every comment you make on a Perry thread has something to do with hispanics.

If you lived here, you would (probably) understand how difficult it is for any elected official to balance the hispanic issue. Perry has done an outstanding job in my opinion.

If he was any more rigid than he already is, he would not get a drop of support from them. It may be tough enough as it stands. But I think a number of them will support him. If this means we boot Obama with that support, I'm all in favor.

Only intellectual midgets play the race card.

Neither “Hispanic” nor “Muslim” is a race, BTW.

What tripe!

Old Lou won several terms as mayor of Hazelton which is about 35% hispanic. He was of course most popular for his laws against illegals.

What is the non-white hispanic population of AZ again?

The trouble I have with saying a candidate is good for this or that specific group, TexMom7, Is that I believe a presidential candidate should be good for all America and all Americans. There shouldn’t be singling out along special interest racial and ethnic lines.

You are absolutely, positively, beyond the shadow of a doubt, 100% WRONG. This is the FIRST time I have mentioned hispanics at all. Period. Ever. And if CW hadn’t been stupid enough to post this thread knowing that this, above all else, is rick perry’s biggest weakness, and somehow believed she was going to elicit support here for perry by publicizing it as a big plus, I wouldn’t have mentioned it NOW either. I am half Algonquin. And besides that, I am Jewish. Being either a racist OR a bigot is just not my style.

I believe the author of the original post was speaking of American Hispanics not illegals.
____________________________________________________________

The author of the article was talking about all Hispanics in TX, illegal and legal, long time resident or new.

The author of the article also introduced a bill this past March for a “guest worker” program. The author was a democrat until a few months ago, the author is supported by major amnesty groups, the author supports perry.

What does that tell you?

This Hispanic and Muslim based Perry bashing drives me nuts, and I’m not even on the Perry bandwagon.

And there ya have it.

It's all about white people bashing illegal aliens and Muslims.

If you're against Perry, you're simply a racist!

Neither “Hispanic” nor “Muslim” is a race, BTW. Only intellectual midgets play the race card.

Hmmm, you deny making this a racial issue?

Why does this organization, which 100% supports amnesty and illegals aliens, call itself, "The Race"?

Thank you for posting the link to my threads.

I do it sometimes just to make it easier for people to find a concentrated source and learn about Gov. Rick Perry.

Why do you think the Left wants to attack the Hispanic author of this OpEd and dismiss it as a “fluff piece?”

Could it be the Left feels that they OWN Hispanics, like they believe that they OWN Blacks?

Then again it could be because he’s joined the Republican Party and Rick Perry’s (also a former Democrat) fight for a conservative ascendancy, and the Left will not abide a traitor to their agenda or Hispanics voting for a Republican.

Charge the the higher tuition of a foreign student. Colleges are allowed to ask the citizenship of their students.

On your Perry pic speaking to NCLR:

A few others that spoke at their national conference...

Bill Clinton, George Bush Sr., Barack Obama, John McCain.

McCain ran with Sarah Palin, so I guess she's on board too. ha!
