Are you willing to concede that over 10 years, the Governor has only 5 issues that you disagree with? (In the meantime, he’s handled 9-11, Rita, Katrina, Ike, floods, wild fires, and defended life and marriage, lowered spending, prevented a State income tax, fought off William Wayne Justice and his brothers in the Federal Courts, opposed the EPA, fought ICE and their determination to bring illegal aliens convicted of other crimes to dump in Texas, and managed to keep our economy strong and our debt the second lowest in the Nation.)
He yielded - not quickly, but definitively - on the mandate for Gardasil and the TTC. He’s had plenty of time to fight those battles again, if he wanted. (Even in February, 2007, when he issued his EO, he made it easier for parents to opt out of all vaccines and girls eligible for the Federally mandated Vaccines for Children - Medicaid, CHIPs, Indian Health Service and un- or under-insured - were already receiving Gardasil free of charge to them.)
He has been to one La Raza meeting in San Antonio when he accepted the invitation to speak at their National Convention, as Governor of Texas. For that same reason, he accepted a gift from (what year was that?) and has met with the leaders of our Texas neighbor and largest trading partner, with whom we share 1200 miles of border. The only “coddling” is the in state tuition.
He has worked with the most moderate sect of Islam, that does not support any of the horrors of mainstream, much less jihadist, Islam. I’ve never heard or read that any of the events were “racist.” Can you give examples?
The fence slows down invaders, the estimate is 4 minutes, which may be useful in populated areas or where the border patrol can respond in time. However, it’s less effective than the river (a de facto moat) is. The fence must be built inside the flood plain, which means a mile from the border in places.
Those issues are at the heart of what ails America. No respect for our border, no respect for the rights of parents, no respect for provate property, no respect for the fact that Islam and the Constitution are incompatable...need I go on?
Is there a point? Bescaue if you disagree there really is no point in me talking to a person refusing to accept the reality that surrounds them.
1 LaRaza meeting is one too many. Catering to racists is idiocy.
Your economy is built and maintained by cheap illegal labor that floods out across the countryy and results in gangs, crime and dead Americand thanks to things like SB1070 ‘not being right for Texas”. Yup, CODDLED. As in does everything he can to NOT do what is needed to actually fix the problem.
He was forced by the legislature to ‘yeild’ on guardasil and then trashed them for smacking him down.
Your Largest trading partner? So it’s OK that Americans are killed by castoffs of our great neighbor as long as your illegal dominated economic miracle thrives?
Lastly, explain to me how China built a ‘fence’ a thousand plus years ago that worked to this very day and we the mighty America can’t.
What side of the border do your loyalties lie btw? You sure don’t act like an American that loves his country with ‘logic’ like that.
Even if all the things you say are 100%, Perry has shown himself to be less than desirable as a nominee for the National Chief Executive......legitimate reasons or not, Perry has not be able to gain traction nationally. I have a hard time seeing him changing the national perception of him......
Sad, but earlier this year I had hoped to be able to vote FOR a Republican Candidate.........
.......as it stands it looks like I’ll be voting against Obama instead....... As I said sad.....
