Why worry... Kenyan King Hussien is going to work so hard to make sure we all have jobs...
The MSM just boldly proclaimed that the unemployment crisis is almost cured!

"We need to be focusing on how do we create the environment in this country where the entrepreneurs know that they can risk their capital, have a chance to have a return on the investment and create the jobs out there so people can have the dignity to take care of their families," said Gov. Perry. "That's what Americans are looking for. I've done that for the last 11 years in the state of Texas and have the executive governing experience that no one else up here on this stage has."
Gov. Perry has the strongest record of job creation of all the candidates, having established a pro-business, pro-jobs and pro-innovation environment in the state of Texas. Under Gov. Perry, Texas has created more than one million net new jobs and ranked first in job creation. Under President Obama, America has lost two million jobs.

Perry ping
OK but they need to look at what he does, not what he says.
When one of my fellow Texans who, having resided in Texas for over twenty years, on and off, within the military, had to pay out of state tuition for his daughter as they didn’t meet a residence requirement - a twenty five year active duty man.
Illegal aliens are placed ahead of this family for in state tuition rates by Perry’s approval.
Start there then search for his actions to coincide with his rhetoric.
1) His illegal immigration stance which could alter our culture and our national sucurity.
2) His electibility. Obviously if he cannot move to the top of the GOP ticket he would never be able to move up in the general election.
That being said, I like Rick Perry a lot and wished he had different views on illegals. He is indeed conservative on most other issues.
Personally, I think his staying in the race at this point only helps Romney and Romney represents "liberalism". So, in a nutshell, Rick Perry is helping to advance liberalism in the GOP by accident.
He’s all in on SC, where he’ currently registering single digits with more than one poll. A bad showing there ends it.....or should. If he stays after that, he’s officially a stalking horse.
I'm not a Republican, I'm too conservative for that, however I have looked at him....and Gingrich....and Santorum.
I'll vote for any of these three that show the best opportunity to beat Romney and 0bama.
All three are good.

But he didn't reside CONTINUOUSLY apparently. So what does on and off mean??
They can proclaim it however they can't make us feel it when it isn't true.
That won't work, however stealing the election via ACORN et al IS effective.
I don't think you really know what his stance on immigration is or isn't. Perry has probably done more for border security than any elected official in the last 5 decades.
Hopefully some day some of these US educated illegals will head back to Mexico and make a positive change in the own country. Since the federal government will not allow states to take a hands on approach what other choices does any state government have?
IF you'd rather NOT be pinged FReepmail me.
IF you'd like to be added FReepmail me. Thanks.

I like Perry in that when he is elected he will be determined to eliminate the agency that he forgot during the debate. I don’t think any other candidate will talk about eliminating agencies because they have in laws, friends, etc. that they have hooked up working there which is a reprehensible reason.
The only hands on approach the states should have if they choose to do so are those being attempted by the state of Arizona which is to enforce the federal laws.
US Border patrol is the responsibility of the Federal Government and NOT the states.

Really! Including Sheriff Joe. How about elected officials in Arizona? How about Tancredo? JD Hayworth?
Well, they're going the wrong way. They're flooding my snowy state here in New England.
It's not up to the United States to educate the population of other nations.
Besides, with pro-communist NRA controling our school systems if they did go back they'd be voting for their own version of Hugo Chavez and making international relations even worse between our nation and theirs.
Rick Perry: Let’s Put Troops Back In Iraq ["I would send troops back into Iraq"]
....."PERRY: I -- I think we start talking with the Iraqi individuals there. The idea that we allow the Iranians to come back into Iraq and take over that country, with all of the treasure, both in blood and money, that we have spent in Iraq, because this president wants to kowtow to his liberal, leftist base and move out those men and women. He could have renegotiated that timeframe.
I think it is a huge error for us. We’re going to see Iran, in my opinion, move back in at literally the speed of light. They’re going to move back in, and all of the work that we’ve done, every young man that has lost his life in that country will have been for nothing because we’ve got a president that does not understand what’s going on in that region."
Rick Perry calls Obama 'a socialist' in GOP debate
ANDY HILLER:
10:06:46:00 Governor Perry, your party’s last nominee, John McCain, wrote in the Washington Post in an Op-ed about a year ago, his words, “I disagree with many of the president’s policies, but I believe he is a patriot sincerely intent on using his time in office to advance our country’s cause. I reject accusations that his policies and belief make him unworthy to lead America or opposed to its founding ideals.” Agree?
RICK PERRY:
10:07:13:00 I make a very proud statement and of fact that— we have a president that’s a socialist. I don’t think our founding fathers wanted America to be a socialist country. So I disagree with that— premise that— somehow or another that— President Obama reflects our founding fathers. He doesn’t. He talks about having a more powerful, more centralized, more consuming and costly federal government. I am a tenth amendment believing governor. I truly believe that we need a president that respects the tenth amendment, that pushes back to the states. Whether it’s how to deliver— education, how to deliver health care, how to do our— environmental regulations. The states will considerably do a better job than a one-size-fits-all Washington, D.C., led by this president."
Sheriff Joe endorsed Rick Perry and is heading his AZ campaign.
They are both very active on the border security front. He doesn’t have to one up Sheriff Joe...I’d call that a red herring, or a straw man, if you will.
In terms of the others you mentioned, they lack the executive position that Governor Perry has and in a state with such a long, difficult border with Mexico. He is hands on with the border security issue.
That isn’t the others’ fault, it’s just a fact of life that makes it difficult to compare them.
Your post makes no sense.
Even with the Sheriff's support, some still try to sink Perry with the immigration issue. It appears they are not really concerned about immigration, but are using it to either support Ron Paul or Romney.
You're talking as if Perry is a close second to Romney in the polls.
Being soft on illegals already in the United States is just one problem Perry has. The other is that he's number 5 (or second to last) in the GOP polls and unlikely he's going to win. The only thing Perry is doing at this point is helping Romney secure the nomination.
Romney 30%
Gingrich 23%
Santorum 19%
Paul 9%
Perry 5%
