I’m a huge Sarah supporter. Perry just tried to shore up his very weak stance on immigration.I keep wondering if Aga Khan will come up or not.

Selective opt out for your campaign contributors is not the same as Perry’s unconditional opt out for everyone.

The vaccine is only effective when given to girls who don’t already have the disease. The minimum recommended age is nine. The latest recommended age is prior to becoming sexually active.

This is why it is not mandated in nursing homes.

Perry just missed a good one. “Do we put a fence down the middle of the Rio Grande?”

Why isn’t anyone saying EVERYTHING is on the table when it comes to securing the border... fences, moats, alligators, mines, troops, etc.

The term is ILLEGAL ALIEN not ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT! Damn these politically correct whores! (rant off)
ILLEGAL means ILLEGAL!
An immigrant is someone who comes here LEGALLY

WILL SOMEONE GET SOME BALLS AND FREAKING ATTACK ROMNEY ALREADY?!?!?!?

Perry needs to get his chops busted for his record, but Romney’s record is twice as bad.
