Calling 18 year olds children is stupid.
Calling people against coddling illegal Mexican foreign nationals is stupid,
Giving speeches in front of LA Raza is stupid.
Calling yourself a conservative and backing Perry is stupid.
This Perry pic would make a great "Caption This."
A fun thing we do on FR. Now, let me take a crack at it.
CAPTION THIS
"This is my 'I'm Really Sincere Stare.' Always gets me
votes in Texas. No matter what comes out of my big mouth."
"It's time for the American people to be free from big government. Course, that
doesn't apply to illegals. Illegals need to be subsidized and coddled by big govt."
Surely you give him too much credit. Of course, Texas is big - perhaps it ought to bea able to squash the Feds and force them to do their duty. Oh, wait, using perspective and thinking is outside your chosen paradigm - like any good liberal, facts don't matter to you unless they support what you WANT to believe.
what’s not to like about Perry?....consider following:
34 billion dollar budget deficit
Texas Ranks #1 in population living below the poverty line ( 17.2 % ).
Worst environmental record in the United States
Ranks #1 in illiteracy
Ranks # 1 on the poorest gun regulations in the US and highest per capita gun murder rates in the US
Ranks #1 with the highest real estate taxes per $1,000 value of a home in the United States
Ranks #1 in the lowest high school graduation rate
Ranks #1 with the highest interest rates pay day companies can charge
Ranks # 1 in those making below minimum wage
Ranks 50th ( dead last ) in Teacher Pay
Ranks # 1 (26.5%) who lack health insurance
Ranks # 1 (20.3%) of children who lack health insurance
Ranks # 1 in the highest per capita executions in the world
Ranks # 50th in $ spent for Medicaid for the poor and children
Ranks 50th ( dead last ) in $ spent on its citizens
Ranks # 1 in the # of food insecure children.
Ranks 49th ( the 2nd lowest ) in Medicaid $ given to nursing homes
Ranks 2nd highest in teen births
Ranks #2 with the highest home insurance rates
Ranks #2 with the highest sales tax
Ranks 49th in $ funded for the mentally ill
Ranks #1 with the highest overall pollution rate
Ranks #1 in adults under correctional control
Ranks #1 in adults under probation
Amnesty and other proposed fixes to the current illegal immigration problem can’t even be considered until the border fence is in place,... since a change in laws for a scheduled date could trigger a massive inflow of illegals like no other in history.
IF you'd rather NOT be pinged FReepmail me.
IF you'd like to be added FReepmail me. Thanks.

THINK OF THE FENCE YOU COULD BUILD FOR $400 MILLION, AND THE PEOPLE YOU COULD PUT TO WORK
Some of these things are positives:
Ranks # 1 on the poorest gun regulations in the US
Ranks # 1 in those making below minimum wage
Ranks 50th ( dead last ) in Teacher Pay
Ranks # 1 in the highest per capita executions in the world
Ranks # 50th in $ spent for Medicaid for the poor and children
Ranks 50th ( dead last ) in $ spent on its citizens
Ranks #1 with the highest overall pollution rate
Ranks #1 in adults under correctional control
Ranks #1 in adults under probation
Over 1 MILLION people were apprehended by U.S. agents trying to sneak into the country last year..... The Border Patrol estimates that they catch one in three..... That means 2 million illegal aliens were successful sneaking into our nation.
2 MILLIONillegal aliens per year! No nation of earth can sustain such an illegal influx.
What parts? That is an ambiguous statement if I ever heard one. Sure not the way to get elected. No ambiguous words come out of Herman Cain's mouth, he's got my vote.
The fence will cost upwards of $4.5 billion, which would ignore the many way it could be defeated. There are 3 US Army bases located in the state of Texas: Fort Bliss, Fort Hood and Fort Sam Houston. Troops from these Army bases could be used on the border.
