The list of conservatives who voted for 1403 have not become less conservative. The legislation fits Texas’ needs due to the hole the Feds have dug for us.
How do you become a “Texas resident” if you are an illegal?
Your mistake is trying to reason with people who approach politics and public policy as if they are the NFL Game of the Week. Perry has many pros and some cons, but the average Freeper seems to be incapable of anything more than cheerleading for his current favorite candidate and trash talking everyone else.
The truth is that all the candidates have some negatives of consequence. On balance, however, any of them would be better than Obamalini, and we are serving the cause of replacing Wonder Boy poorly when we savage candidates other than our favorite candidate without any real knowledge or sense of balance. I could easily support Cain, Perry, Bachmann, Palin, or Santorum, and I could even support RP or Newt if either were the nominee (Neither will be).
What we don’t need is to let childish partisanship cripple our potential candidates. That only serves Obamalini.
