BLITZER’S BLOG: Perry sticks to his guns
(CNN) – Whether you agree or disagree with his stance, you have to give Texas Governor Rick Perry credit for sticking to his guns on some sensitive issues that many tea party and other conservative Republican activists actively oppose.
I’m talking about his support in Texas for in-state tuition rates for children of illegal immigrants and for a mandate to provide the HPV vaccine for young girls to prevent them from developing the sexually-transmitted infection that can lead to cervical cancer.

READ MY LIPS - NO NEW TEXANS
His gun? Just finished watching last night's Daily Show. For somebody who didn't give a hoot about this country and wanted his state to secede from the Union you really stood up like the big hypocrite you are when the National Anthem was played. Disgusting piece of human trash that you are.
BTW secessionist. That's citizenship NOT citichitship or whatever it is that you dentures wouldn't let you pronouce correctly!
the gov. right the heck with the tea party .. both are good ideas ..no matter the party..
Why they are both extremists? The Tea party is a fiscal terrorist group full of extremist that would rather see American families out on the street than have corporations pay their taxes. Seriously how hard is it to say NO to extremist and I say NO to both Perry and that other group.

Believe us, you don't have to worry about 'contrasting' with the President.
You need only open your mouth to speak Perry et al, and contrast is achieved.
Obama 2012
Perry, of the Mitt and Rick Comedy Show, is just a scary empty suit loser. Do yourself and the Country a favor , support and vote Ron Paul 2012 for America and Americans first for a change. Say what you willl but he is honest, consistent, not interested in power or money. Name me another candidate like that .
Why is Perry not concerned about the level & access to a good education, in Texas? Why is he pushing a vaccine that should be the decision of parents!? HPV is not a socially transmitted, epidemic disease & the urgency of getting this shot depends on family history & individual decisions! In legislative sessions this year, hundreds of schools were closed & thousands of teachers & other school personel were laid off, how can that translate into caring about education? I'm all for making sure immigrant kids get an education, but not at the expense of American kids! Perry is sticking to his own personal motivations; a good leader should listen to his constituents needs & do what's necessary, even if it clashes with his personal beliefs!!
There is something seriouslly wrong – seriously demented with people who clap and cheer at the thought of innocent people dying. Where are these people's hearts? And to think these are the 'pro life, Christian' people.

And this is why the tea baggers listen to a moron like Perry – all are uneducated, make no sense when they speak, cannot form an intelligent sentence, have no grammar or spelling sense, are racists and would vote against their own best interests just because Obama is their President. Unbelievable. America is producing idiots these days.
