My beef against GWB is neither Katrina, nor Harriet Miers.
What was he supposed to do during Katrina? Camp out in New Orleans and sit in a paddle boat rescuing stranded people? He had no way to know Brownie was incompetent during Katrina during the first 48 hours. And we have no way to know how Miers would have ruled in SCOTUS.

Where I find fault with GWB is TARP and Iraq. $800 Billion of taxpayer money given to big banks to bail them out of their bad gamble in derivatives was stupid. But even more stupid was Trillions of dollars and thousands of brave soldiers wasted in Iraq on borrowed money from China to protect oil flow to China from middle-east where China gets most of their oil. As soon as the last American troops leave Iraq, Iran is poised to take control of Iraqi oil within months if not weeks. No wonder China is cozying up to Iran.

nope. You need to read about the press conference held in Austin Monday. Fleming leader of the TX. Tea Party Coalition invited Perry back to his state and complete unfinished business. Maria Martinez helped deliver 3 boxes of petitions signed by tea partiers over his sellout to cheap labor lobby. Martinez is the executive director of IRCOT-Immigration Reform Coalition of Texas.

Your response is illogical.

Mittens supports Global warming, tarp bailouts, and gave us Obamacare and was born a rich kid from Gross Pointe MI ?
How is that crap compare to the Share cropper's kid and states rights Perry who has been fighting Obamacare and the federal take overs ?

Could Rick Perry himself deport illegals during his term of governor of Texas? Nope.

Something Perry could have done was keep his mouth shut about Arizona's tough new immigration law..but he didn't.

Maybe those TeaParty people need to work on changing the legislators minds first since they voted against the law just a few weeks ago. They are just making noise for publicity.

I’m a serious Republican from Texas who’s lived with Perry for the last decade...........he ain’t Jesus or Reagan.

He is a Romney-ite RINO with a different accent. Not a hair’s worth of difference when it comes to real policy..

I’m just telling you. Don’t be expecting a whole lot from him in debates. Not there. Don’t think Romney is just a “media” creation.

Understand the fact that the two real candidates for the GOP are actual RINOs. Pslin ain’t running. She is not. Understand.

I never liked Romney but he is really p-ing me off lately. This sleezebag is an incredible phony who will claim anything.

The Tea Partiers that are of the Dick Army persuasion? Comprehensive Immigration amnesty schemes perchance? These are pretty stout conservative Texan Tea Partiers in attendance at that press conference. Many had driven to Austin from other towns to help testify and get some type of enforcement bills passed.They want action from Gov. Perry on the issue. He can call a special session,issue executive orders to do the right thing here.These people were putting the governor on notice.

Mitt Romney is ‘Obama Lite’ and Rick Perry is ‘George Bush's Third Term.’ The thought of either of these posers being the GOP nominee makes me puke.

Same here!

They need to get the legislators to change their minds before calling them back into a session. That will require work and more than those petitions. That is the process of changing or passing new laws first.

What good will calling another special session do just after the last one ended with a resounding no?

I love the double standard about using an EO to override the legislator here.

That he calls the illegal invasion from the South “immigration” is all I need to know.

There is the illegal immigration purity theory, where everyone thinks that securing the border (ever how it's done) and sending all illegals back to their origins (if that can be done, doubtful, IMO) will solve the problem. And there's illegal immigration reality, where Texas has been dealing with the political and economical realities of mass illegal immigration.

Texans can speak to this better than I can, but I suspect that Republicans hold on Texas has been slipping because of the hard stance on illegal immigration. If we lose Texas it is over.

They were all bought just like the Gov.... Bob Perry,Norman Adams (insurer for contractors like Linbeck),Dr. Leininger,Dr. Hotze,Charles Foster...all with a dog in the hunt. You know politicians are funded by the Ruling-Class, so no, the Tea Party patriots did not “convince” the legislators.

Perry looks like our best hope to dump Obama and return the nation to sanity.

“I like Perry but not his position on illegal immigration. He’s dead wrong on that.”

So why kid yourself this time? This is George W. Bush all over again sans the Harvard pedigree.
