HOUSTON -- The days leading up to "The Response," Texas Gov. Rick Perry's prayer rally at Reliant Stadium, had looked a little grim for the governor and the event's organizers. Only about 7,000 people had confirmed that they would attend a venue that seats 71,500, and the controversial roster of sponsors -- including the American Family Association, which is labeled a "hate group" by the Southern Poverty Law Center -- drew as much attention as the event's stated purpose of praying and fasting for the nation's improvement.

I thought the day's shrewdest political insight came from Dr. Richard Land, the former president of the Southern Baptist Convention and a sixth-generation Texan, who I bumped into in the hallway after Perry spoke. "If he runs, he'll be a strong candidate," Land told me. "He's a charismatic figure. I think about him on stage with the other candidates and he'll stand out. He's not a wallflower. But the most interesting question for me is whether the country is ready for somebody who looks and sounds like George W. Bush on steroids."

Same here.
I don't agree with his original stand, but he actually is against open borders now. The LT Gov killed the sanctuary bill, and we do have voter ID and proof of citizenship to get an ID now.
the NAFTA Highway,
He got an ear full from voters and decided to pull that crap out of his agenda.
insisting young girls get Gardasil shots, etc., etc..
Again, he got more than an ear full from voters and decided to pull that out of his agenda.
In other words, he listens to the voters, especially on unpopular issues.
Think you pretty well covered a lot of the facts about flip flopper in chief.
That being said, I will puke a couple of times and vote for Willard over that Texas dung heap. But only if it is the last thing standing.
I agree with that summary, but our first and primary goal should be is to ensure the communist in the WH is given an eviction notice in Nov 2012.
“Oh no, not that. The exalted Morris Dees has issued yet another damning proclamation”
My thoughts exactly. What a crushing blow to be labeled a “hate group” by the esteemed, agenda-free Southern Poverty Law Center. Har!
I do not understand the number of people who do not know the man is not qualified under the constitution.

Romney OVER Perry?
Nope it's not a Dem vs GOP problem {that party operatives would like you to believe} rather it is a Liberals destroying this nation problem and both parties are saturated with them. Americans have lost sight of that fact when the GOP two house GOP majority sold us out in 1995 {the second year into Clintons two terms} and never were held accountable for that betrayal.
There was no excuse for what the GOP did with a two house six year majority under W either. It was the two house GOP majority under Bush jr which expanded presidential powers far beyond founders intent. An act for which we are now paying for today under Obama. The real enemies are liberals of any party.

That whore wearing the peace sign sun glasses better hope she does not mean 0 has the worst record ever. She looks like the pic of the whore they had on the front page of the local Pravda a few months ago. Arrested at St Johns and Lamar - IIRC.
>>George W. Bush on steroids? Do we want an extremely compassionate conservative who wants to spend vast amounts of money?<<

Mainly I'm trying to let everyone know that I am the walrus.
Well, Sarah will announce soon, and when she does all of the air will be sucked out the room
Texas became the first state to pass an in-state tuition law for illegals

If this isn’t enough, there are about 1000 anchor babies per month being churned out at Dallas Parkland Hospital...That is just one hospital in Texas, every month.
In Parkland Memorial Hospital Dallas, the second busiest maternity ward in the United States, 70% of the women giving birth were illegal aliens.
That added up to 11,200 babies for which Medicaid kicked in 34.5 million dollars to deliver these babies, the feds another 9.5 million and Dallas taxpayers tossed in 31.3 million. The average illegal patient is 25 years and giving birth to her second anchor baby.
