Here’s the conspiracy: You lower the cost from $5000 per person to be smuggled over the US border from Mexico by Mexican coyotes, into the US to the price of a bus ticket north from any south American county whose borders are not contiguous with the US .
My question is…how did these people know about § 1261, Subtitle D: Unaccompanied Alien Children of the The Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act of 2013 loophole? It would take a community organizer to do that. That’s what they do. So what community organizer would have the political will, need, and know how, to do such a thing?
I don’t want to get all conspiratorial on y’all, but I’m believing that aliens have taken a holt of half the Republicans in the country. Perry, Brownwhatever, Walker, Scott, Jindal, LePage, Brewer. Jeez, do I have to go on? They are crazy stupid and will ruin this country if sanity doesn’t take over. Give us some smart, sensible and forward thinking R’s and all will be fine; we Dems can work with people who have common sense and decency at their core.
Whomsoever was listening to Perry before and actually taking it to heart is still the only audience that he has. This doesn’t make him look any smarter or like he is doing a damned thing to help personally.
He is down in the gutter with the rest of the brainless haters and is to dim to realize that.
It’s not like Texas isn’t the most experienced state with this problem or like Perry hasn’t been around long enough to have been working out solutions. He acts like this is a new thing and he has been caught off guard.
As an anti-federalist, Perry should be jumping at the opportunity to take action at home without any Federal interference. Instead, he waffles and abdicates his authority. Maybe Perry can deregulate his way out of border problems?
A national leader, Perry isn’t. A provoker and leader of pawns is possibly the best that he can be called.
Rick Perry should just give up. When trying to make a point, dealing with facts and problems he simply does not have the “brain power”. He doesn’t know how to take “yes” for an answer. After listening to the press conference the President had after meeting with Rick Perry and others, after Gov. Perry pinpointed the things he needed the President suggested he might use his influence with the Texas delegation and simply pass the legislation, let it be signed by the President and within a week Texas can have what they need. Then apparently Gov Perry suggests that the President just go ahead and do the things he can do without the legislation forgetting that his fellow cohorts/Boehner are suing Obama for that very thing. Perry cannot win in a head to head conversation with Obama. He doesn’t have the “smarts”…So he just blows hot air and suggests Obama is spending his time (like Joe Scarborough said) "snap chatting with the kids and encouraging them to just “c’mon up”…
Makes you wonder, no? And WHY are 90%+ of them going into Texas? Maybe Texas is behind all of it? You know - to make sure Obama is a One-Term president??
[quote] Its not just that he is a liar and disingenuous to the core, but he is really, really stupid too. [/quote] That seems to be the norm for governors in Texas as they have quite a lot of history with stupid folks running the state. The letter “W” immediately comes to mind as evidence.
Perry graduated from Paint Creek High School in 1968. He then attended Texas A&M University, where he was a member of the Corps of Cadets, a member of the Alpha Gamma Rho fraternity, was elected senior class social secretary, and was also elected as one of A&M’s five yell leaders.[14][15] Perry graduated in 1972 with a Bachelor of Science in animal science.[16][17]
Perry said that the Corps of Cadets gave him the discipline to complete his animal sciences degree and earn a commission in the air force. In a 1989 interview he said that “I was probably a bit of a free spirit, not particularly structured real well for life outside of a military regime, I would have not lasted at Texas Tech or the University of Texas. I would have hit the fraternity scene and lasted about one semester.”[16] Ultimately, Perry was elected a yell leader — an esteemed male cheerleader who has traditional responsibilities at major athletic events — and social secretary for his class.[16]
In the early 1970s, Perry interned during several summers with the Southwestern Company, as a door-to-door book salesman. “I count my time working for Dortch Oldham [president of the Southwestern Company] as one of the most important formative experiences of my life,” Perry said in 2010. “There is nothing that tests your commitment to a goal like getting a few doors closed in your face.” He said that “Mr. Oldham taught legions of young people to communicate quickly, clearly and with passion, a lesson that has served me well in my life since then.”[18]
Upon graduation in 1972, Perry was commissioned in the United States Air Force and completed pilot training in February 1974. He was then assigned as a C-130 pilot to the 772nd Tactical Airlift Squadron at Dyess Air Force Base. Perry’s duties included two-month overseas rotations at RAF Mildenhall in England and Rhein-Main Air Base in Germany. His missions included a 1974 U.S. State Department drought relief effort in Mali, Mauritania and Chad, and two years later, earthquake relief in Guatemala.[19] He left the U.S. Air Force in 1977 with the rank of captain, returned to Texas, and went into business farming cotton with his father.[20]

In 1984, Perry was elected to the Texas House of Representatives as a Democrat from district 64, which included his home county of Haskell.
“I don’t always say stupid schitte. But when I do, it’s on Fox ‘News’ to try and grift rubes who are even more ignorant than I am! I’ll be President like Al Sharpton will like the name of my ranch, but inbred bohunks will send me money anyway, because unlike them, this moron has expensive hair!”
Thanks for pointing out today’s CNN web page - It is sad, but we are so surprised by one reasonable question that we are tempted to give the media a pass on their generally abysmal journalistic standards.
I think he announced yesterday. Sicko Ricko knows he’s not getting anywhere near the nomination. By running for POTUS with a PAC whose money can’t be traced, he’s collecting for retirement from all the Texas Teabaggers who think Baby Jeezus is on his side.
Then, he’ll parley his losing, quixotic run into years of lucrative speaking gigs at megachurches and “christian conferences.”
