Perry is showing some leadership skills over this immigration issue across his state line. He's gaining momentum right now.


But is it all orchestrated? Sh!t's (illegal immigration}been going on in some fashion for yrs so now we finally got someone trying to make a stand. There's not much out there to get the conservative base excited, maybe Perry will get some traction with his stance against illegals flooding TX but I've never been that impressed with the Governor. If he does get back into the presidential race he's gonna need to brushup on his debating skills.

That is the "bratty kid" disease as it is much more general and ambiguous diagnostically.


Not really bratty, more the "little boy doesn't behave like a little girl in my 1st grade classroom, so we need to medicate him" disease.

I can't claim to know much about Autism, but from the cases I've seen I fully believe there is a developmental component.

Why in the world would anyone with an ounce of sense think that Perry would be favored over Paul by Tea Party types? Perry's method of governing is steeped in cronyism.

And he picks and chooses when he wants the federal government to pick up Texas' bills - like with the National Guard - costing $12 million per day, which he intends to pass off on the Feds. Hell he could have done this a month ago, but wanted the Feds to do it instead.

Do we want a President who made a "D" in "Meats" while at A&M ?

Did you listen to the debate between Levin and Tom Woods over nullification?



I would love to see a link on this. I have heard Levin on nullification and that is one of a few issues he brings up that makes me cringe a little (even though his points were valid). However, there are few in mainstream talk radio that make the case for constitutionalism as well as he does. Sure, he's impassioned, but I'm skeptical of people who aren't if you truly feel the federal government has overstepped its constitutional limits. He's on the right team, even if you disagree with a playcall here or there.


Also, my son is autistic. There is a big difference between people on the Asperger's end of the spectrum and those not. Spend some time around people who are diagnosed and you will discover that however "normal" they appear, they are coping and conforming WAAAYY more than you can imagine. It is extremely unnatural for them to conform to social norms in everyday life. My son is 6 and he is somewhere in the middle of the spectrum. It takes all the effort he can muster to complete half a sentence to relay a thought, even though his intelligence level is pretty normal for his age.

I agree that our ability to diagnose has improved which is the biggest reason for the increase in cases.

I hope Savage is wrong because Perry is more clueless than W and that's quite an accomplishment.

Palin and W did fine. Debates are probably THE most over-rated thing in a presidential campaign.

He's a professional troll who doesnt believe half the shite he says, which given some of his comments makes him a pretty terrible person. Im all for trolling, but his comments about special needs kids were the last straw.

At least Rush has a few lines he wont cross.


I can assure you that Michael savage is very genuine in his beliefs. He is beyond intelligent, but incredibly flawed. I don't enjoy his radio show, I think he constantly hovers around genius and bay shite crazy, but he is most certainly genuine.

i agree that he would do fine in a presidential debate, but in the primaries he might have issues.

I think his real problem is the campaign trail where he will say inane things that will get repeated over and over and over again.

Yeah. But people forget he's been the governor of Texas for 14 years without too many problems.

Sure the lights are brighter, but I don't think he's any more likely to say something that will get him into trouble than Rand Paul. That said, Rand Paul is much smarter, but he also speaks his mind - which is what people like about him, but it's also how you get yourself into trouble in a long campaign.

probably the most underrated. The power of television. Unfortunately...for many voters this is really the first, if not only, time they've seen some of these candidates. Plus, television is a powerful medium

It can absolutely swing an election (more emphasis on an election between two non incumbents)

Where the frick do you guys get this line from? Is it a new conservative viewpoint? Being autistic is not the same as having a low IQ. For example, you probably aren't autistic.

texas has one of the weakest governorships. And its a friendly audience, and he has a ton of gaffes as governor.

I see him getting himself in trouble quickly and being dismissed. but wtf do I know?
