He already said he handled it badly. What the heck else do you want him to say?
LMAO, Huntsman wants a headline statement.
who woulda thunk... Romney winning the ILLEGAL issue!
Read upthread. It was opt out so that it could be covered.
Geez.
whoopie for you.
If you care about your kid, you fill out a form.
Perry already had answered this.
Perry: I gave illegals in-state tuition...
Perry: It’s the American way!
Perry is being forced to run the gauntlet. I think he’s doing okay under the circumstances.
Perry looks wounded.
My guess is that if GW had a heart to heart during the convention with Marco and told him "your country needs You" he probably would take the VP slot. But it will take a lot of arm twisting from what I have seen. He sees what a mess zero has made for new Senators and does not want any of that.
Romney going after Perry for letting illegals pay in state tuition, while Ronmeycare covers illegals in Mass and gives them free healthcare.
Not liking the Bachman tonight. She won’t look Perry in the eye and turns her head like a spurned little girl. Right or wrong, she is coming off as angry and bitter.
I don’t agree with Perry on the college thing, but I understand his POV.
There’s some good information on Cain’s web site regarding his 9-9-9 plan.

Rick was raised with Mexicans as a kid cotton farmer. He is not skeered of Mexicans. I am with him on this. 100%
What I DON’T understand about Bachmann tonight is that she throws out red meat questions/challenges to an opponent, mostly Perry, then when he answers, she looks in the exact opposite direction, away from him. I notice that when Perry speaks, Romney at least looks at him. She’s looking the other way, seems really dumb.
Maybe one of her supporters here can explain what she’s doing, but it seems to me it’s not only poor politically, it’s just plain rude in everyday exchanges between people.
Illegal immigrant bootlickers.
Huntsman is an Obammy butt boy,...that is all that needf be said on the topic...ANY appointment of Obammys is NOT someone I want in office anywhere, any time, ever!
Unreal...
So a woman (a mother) disagrees with you and you tell her to “go have some cookies”? You can’t argue with her effectively so you resort woman baiting? And not very intelligent baiting, at that? Shame on you.
Perry the illegaql aliens can be contributing members of their own countries
again with the “working towards citizenship”
HELLO ???
THEY ARE ILLEGAL ALIENS
they cant work towrds citizenship...
Huntsman should sell those fake spray on tan thingys.
