The best thing he could is apologize for the “heartless” statement. I can’t believe he hasn’t already. He’s got some bad advisers.

Why is this P5 straw poll so important?

According to the Perry campaign this morning it was a make or break test of the campaign.

I’m still struggling to explain the scarcity of hardcore Perry supporters that told the rest of us to “shut up” and get on board with their candidate or we were guaranteed 4 more of Obama or even Romney.

Anyone seen one?

YES!!! I love it!!! You are so right, Norm. Where are all the Perry-winkles tonight?

I don’t think an apology will work. It was a hard stinging slap across the face of his base and we have the red mark on our cheeks to prove it. It is now infamous. It will not be forgotten nor forgiven.

Well to be fair.

There weren’t a lot of us Palin supporters on the board, after that Alaska radio show call-in fiasco, either...

Actually, Perry is morally inferior. The major component of the illegal alien cohort comes from Mexico. That's one of this world's BETTER places. Compared to EVERYONE in AFRICA, and most EVERYONE South of Mexico's Southern border, they've got it good.

Suggesting that people who have it good should stay where they are to make it better is not sinful. Shipping them back to help them do that is not sinful. Encouraging them to break our laws IS sinful.

Pretty scarce yesterday too. Found a few on one thread after looking to over 10!!! Normally they are out in force.

Saw a whole lot of “I’m done with him” comments though. and even more today.

He can apologize a typical DemLib fake apology. His actions proved what he really believes on the matter.

f I didn’t know he was a pro-ILLEGAL alien, crony-capitalist dirtbag I might could feel sorry for him.

I come for the news, and I stay for the color commentary.

The guy doesn’t have it McGavin......he doesn’t have it..... He’s dumb as a coal bucket.

Yeah, that dumb old coal bucket that handed out preprogrammed phones to California businessmen with a note that said "If I can help you with anything just give me a call". That was really dumb. Oh wait, a lot of those businessmen did call and got directions to Texas.

“I do think, Perry *needs* to communicate and stop the mis-perception (if that’s what it is) that he’s just another open-borders globalist”
__________________________________________________________________________________________

It’s no “mis-perception”. Perry has a thinly veiled open borders policy to serve his big Texas $$$$ donors who love cheap labor.

Oh ya. He beats his chest about ALL he’s done for border security and he deserves an Oscar, because he did just
as much to “slow walk” very tough anti illegal immigration bills that were proposed in the last Texas Leg session.

That “Voter ID” bill that was passed was just all part of the make-believe Kabuki Theater that Perry is so good at.

I don’t give a crap about some stupid voter ID bill. Illegals come to Texas to work, steal, rape, drive drunk and get their spawn free educations and medical care..... all paid for by me. NOT to vote!

Perry’s done. Good riddance to him.

Perry’s a master of political Kabuki Theater.

However, he’s (Perry) got to be the only conservative I have ever watched be destroyed by conservatives.

HE DESTROYED HIMSELF SIR. Did you not watch his 3 Debate performances? My 10 y.o. grandson could have done better.

There's a few genital warts studies on the net that involved tens of thousands of respondents ~ and sex wasn't the ONLY vector for infection.

The WHO researchers actually admitted that there were vectors that they simply could not identify.

It's probably a good idea to get vaccinated against the HPV viruses.

Yep, he just tossed those Texas Americans right out of their jobs so he could give them to illegals. That must be the reason Texas is so successful. They have low unemployment because.....well.....hmmmmm
