Quite the posting history you have, damn little for years except your recent vanities bashing Rick Perry.

Your post had me curious so I did a quick search of my own on BobL. I discovered he has posted in every month in 2011 with thousands of posts on a variety of topics. So your above statement is not true. How did you come to that conclusion?

The only Amnesty that should be given is to those who are obviously headed for the border.

I'll second that.

Some say we can't deport them all. Why not? Vicente Fox did.

LOL You need to use that as a tagline.

It would be a good one, as would this...

President Fox's vision for an open border is a vision I embrace.

Here are some facts for you.

In Texas, Perry Outshines Obama

Be sure you keep this, so you can post it, when Perry runs against Obama, so you can help Obama.

Actually this is exactly what you are doing now — the Dems want to knock out Perry in the primary, because they know that he can beat Obama.

I am sure you will receive a nice signed thank you note from Obama for all your anti-Perry efforts.

I like Herman Cain but he stands NO chance of being the nominee. What he doesn’t know I firmly believe he would research and become knowledgeable.

I think Newt would be a fantastic mentality if only it weren’t for well, ‘je ne sais quoi’, something is sort of missing.

I can tell the dems are getting worried about Perry. They were focusing on killing Romney, but now they are shifting aim in readiness for Perry’s announcement.

Your comments are the epitome of cynical. Where does Governor Perry’s record not meet with his books? How is it self-serving to come out supporting and defending the Boy Scouts at a time when they’re under fire for their values? How is it self serving to risk lawsuits and criticisms with The Response?

Nor was his treatment of Texas Supreme Court Justice Steven Wayne Smith. Smith should be a hero to conservatives everywhere, as he was the lead attorney in Hopwood vs. Texas, which led to a landmark ruling against affirmative action and racial preferences in 1996. Several years later Smith ran for the Texas Supreme Court against Xavier Rodriguez. Rodriguez, who also called himself a moderate, had been appointed to the court by Governor Perry, no doubt as part of an effort to reach out to minorities. After Smith defeated Rodriguez in 2002, Rick Perry gave Smith the cold shoulder. In 2004 he personally recruited Paul Green to oppose Smith in the GOP primary, and lent his voice to tens of thousands of automated “robo calls” denouncing Smith. Unfortunately, his efforts paid off, and Steven Wayne Smith, one of the most conservative judges in Texas history, lost his seat on the Supreme Court. This sorry episode of petty vindictiveness revealed an ugly side of Rick Perry that few Texans had suspected.

Of course but best the dirt come out early on...then we'll see how he responds. Course they all do some twisting to come out smelling like a rose.

I have a serious problem with his Islamic/Muslim relationships. Like Obama, Perrys Mulim polls shows 80% support for Perry, and his state reflects a large Muslim population for his business ventures with them.

When you couple his welcome mat for Muslims and his border issues with Mexicans....I can only see Amnesty ahead, no matter how it's painted...and no closed borders. Not to mention the Islamic threat increasing.

The Pres. first responsibility is this Nations security....his positions and actions are far to similar to Obamas in that respect and follows the Globalist agenda in many respects. IMO.

Just to weigh in. I will NOT be supporting Perry. Not even sure I could hold my nose enough should he end up the nominee.

Not everyone was a FDR democrat.

Did Reagan run up a debt when he was the California governor? Did he sign an amnesty bill as POTUS?

I could go on but..

Don bother to ping me. I appreciate the offer though

Quickly we have presentation of both sides of the discussion.

No one is exactly perfect. There are issues of concern with Perry. He is first and foremost a politician. Never forget that. Immigration is a major consideration as Texas is being over run with illegal border crossings night and day.

I would vote for Perry if it came down to Obama or Perry. Only then.

Please consider well the original posting article here. It is excellent and presented accurately.

God knows, ... one of the things that concern me is God allows people to have what it is they say they want as, in the days of the judges the people wanted a King. Kings oppress always.

Be careful what it is we ask for and pray for happening.
