If you have to compare Perry to Obama to make him look good that isn't saying much for your candidate. :-P

I don't really expect to sway anyone's opinion though it has happened.

And Perry may have served, so did Kerry, so did McCain, heck, so did Jimmah Carter. It's what they have done since and what they propose to do in the future that I'm concerned with. Do you support amnesty for ILLEGALs?

Tell me 40, did you get to be a big roller by being born with a silver spoon in your mouth or did you do it by being a bully?

I suspect a little of both.

Absolutely not FRiend. I do NOT support amnesty for illegals. I believe they should lose that right because they violate Federal Law and engaged in criminal trespass on our sovereign soil.

Perry is misunderstood in this area, as well as misquoted. Perry believes that we should patrol the borders with military guard and stop all flow of illegals across the border. His belief that if they join the Military and serve this country, that they should be granted an exception. This is not new. All sorts of non citizens joined our Military in WW2 and won citizenship after it was all over. Many of them also died for our country.

In this category, they deserve to be rewarded citizenship. Perry is right to have the courage to take a stand on this issue in my opinion.
