Perry: "I Don't Think You Have a Heart" If You Oppose In-State Tuition for Children of Illegal

Full title: Perry: "I Don't Think You Have a Heart" If You Oppose In-State Tuition for Children of Illegal Immigrants

Perry's response was forceful and personal. "I don't think you have a heart," Perry told his critics.

"If you say that we should not educate children who come into our state for no other reason than that they've been brought their through no fault of their own, I don't think you have a heart," Perry said. "We need to be educating these children because they will become a drag on our society. I think that's what Texans wanted to do. Out of 181 members of the Texas legislature when this issue came up [there were] only four dissenting votes. This was a state issue. Texas voted on it. And I still support it today."

Why should he apologize. You are the one who started with the name calling. Ron’s comments are correct. No one is saying sit out, but we have to send a message to the GOP that we aren’t gonna take it anymore - NO MORE RINOS and idiots like yow saying we have to vote Romney or it will be Obama and throwing your support behind Romney is zot worthy.

The boss has made it clear - NO ROMNEY SUPPORT ON FR!

If we get Zero again it will be because of people like you who didn’t stand up for what is right, but rather once again went with the trash the GOP throws at us - like McCain and GWB. Enough is enough.

and just who do you think votes in primaries? you sound like a child who stamps their feet in the corner if you don’t get your pony.

- - - - - - —

You are short sighted and naive. various people vote in primaries depending on the state. I know ideological democrats who are registered republican so they can vote for the weakest candidate. They are all supporting Romney ATM. Some states have open primaries. But none of that matters.

It is who will win the nomination. That is where we need to fight and the GOP establishment is pushing Romney. This is the time to stand up for principles and not let them give us Romney because the LIBERALS are the ones who want Romney - big time. Romney nomination, which far too many in our party, like you, are ok with, will LOSE the general election - not win it.

I’m not throwing a temper tantrum, I am standing up for my principles - something you are obviously not doing by saying you will vote for Romney if he gets the nomination.

Oh I get it....we have a lot of people here that are anti-Mormon...apparently so much so they are pro Muslim and Pro Obama.

Because I'm anti mormonism I'm pro obama and pro muslim? That doesn't make a lick of sense.

I see you are in California, that must make you a governor moonbeam and Nancy Pelosi voter (Makes the same amount of sense as what you said).

The only difference between Romney and Obama is the color of their skin. At one time or another Romney has held every position that obama does. His most recent flip flop, unless he had another one today, was on global warming, he was pro and within days was anti.

Romney would be the absolute worst candidate we could have, bar none and I will never vote for him. Now tell me that would be the same as voting for Obama, like you are saying a brand new thing to me. I'll write in a name and vote for any senate and house race and pray that we get a super majority there.

He’s got such a big heart to saddle Americans with more criminals.

We don’t have enough diversity racists, gangs, rapes, murders, drunk drivers, prisoners, scams and robberies. We need to import them from everywhere across the open border.

We Americans are willing to slaughter our neighbors for illegal immigration because we have big hearts like all the good internationalist Rinos in the GOP. Who needs jobs and income when we could hire illegals and help the poor of the world!

Americans are always looking to a chance and cause to contribute more taxes to big hearted Gop folks so that they can spread our wealth to illegals and their employers!

Your loss, not mine. I’m sorry you apparently don’t have any principles to stand on. That is sad.

I have a conscience and my conscience will not let me vote for Romney or any other RINO. The GOP needs to be taken to the woodshed or it is signing its own death warrant.

We have laws...and they need to be enforced. PERIOD.

Well, they are NOT being enforced and they are not going to be enforced. PERIOD.

So now what are you going to do?

I read somewhere, years ago, that Fox was concerned about the US economy because if it tanked then Mexicans would move back home and that they money they send to Mexico makes up a fair part of the Mexican economy.

Actually, it has already happened. Somewhere here on FR is an article about how unhappy the female villagers in one village are now that the men have returned from the U.S. Mexico actually has a lower unemployment rate than the U.S. now, in another article somewhere here. Sorry I don't have the links at hand, but you can trust what I'm saying because it's on the Internet. :)

Only vote for people who WILL enforce the laws. Otherwise this country is gone.

Good day sir....and a simple apology from you would be the decent thing to do...I suspect it isn’t coming.

Please don't plan on holding your breath my mushy moderate friend. Oh and lay off the Mormon flavored kool-aid.

We need to adopt their immigration policy.

Yes we do...now that would be "securing" the country after we "close" the borders. Heck we could do that without closing the borders and still cut the immigration in half at least!

You go lady reaganaut! I'm so sick of Freepers throwing out there if you're critical of the candidates you're either planning on sitting home, or voting for Obama, or guilty of wanting a perfect candidate..and the list goes on!

I absolutly love the vetting of these candidates here on Free Republic...Freepers have always gotten to the bottom of any event and happening and reported in their findings. It's one of the unique features of this site that none other can lay claim to and certainly assists people to see all sides of candidates.. like it or not....we get the scoops and the stories from all sides.

There are laws prohibiting certain protests in front of abortion clinics.

There are laws prohibiting people from smoking in their own homes

There are laws prohibiting spanking your children

There are laws allowing homosexuals to serve in the military

There are laws requiring everyone to purchase health insurance.

Should we only elect people who will enforce these laws?

Yes that’s correct...I read that story..... Plus Fox’s agenda places Mexican advisors, lawyers and activists to defend illegals freedoms,... get this!...in our country! He sends them here to live and support his nationals within our country in order to maintain that revenue flow from them to his country.. by using our laws to cater to those nationals here.

Amazingly this is the agenda Perry also supports.

None that I personally knew of had the benefit of government services prior to the Clintoon administration. The virulent Latino movement was actually Cholo and Chola’s born here and they hated the ranchero’s (read “hicks”) from Mexico and did not identify with them at all.

I’m actually a Tom McClintock guy...been that way for several decades since we lived in the same city. Can’t stand moonbeam or Pelosi, but whatever.

>> Perry is offering us George Bush Part Deux.

At times, it seems that way. It’s too early to tell in my opinion. I’m being optimistic.
