What about Newt?  Yes, I know, I know, but...

I'd like to believe that given the momentousness of this coming Election we might get a January surprise of shock and awe.  Maybe Allen West decides to run...?  Something like that.

If it's Romney conservatives had better begin to muster its forces to shoulder this guy rightward.

Uh, that is the entire point to the matter, CSD.

Illegal aliens get to attend Texas state schools while paying only in-state Texas citizen tuition.  American citizens from outside of Texas, who are not Texas citizens) must pay out of state tuition.  That is giving an illegal alien preferential treatment over American citizens.

In addition to being a morally vile practice, it happens to be a violation of federal law if the state school takes any $$$from the federal taxpayers.

If anyone moves to the state of Texas and spends three years there, they’re eligible for in-state tuition so no free ride,” Perry said.

Perry noted that the Texas legislature nearly unanimously passed the in-state tuition for illegal immigrants legislation in 2001.

CSD, you are smarter than that.

1. Illegals, no matter how long they live in Texas, are neither American nor Texas citizens.
2. Americans who move to Texas and live here more than a year are Texas citizens.
3. Documentation of that three years for illegals is, more than likely, held to the lower level of scrutiny the docs of most illegals get from most state officials, if experience is any guide.

And there is still the fact that this violates federal law, which requires that any tuition break given to illegal aliens must be give to out of state applicants.

if i moved here from another country legally how long would i have to live in texas to qualify as in state? assuming i remained a non us citizen?

Hold on:

There is a Federal Law, that:
-If you voluntarily claim to be an illegal alien;
-You prove that you are an illegal alien;
-You prove that you have been an illegal resident of a State for 3 years;

Stipulates you are to be given BENEFITS rather than picked up by ICE and thanked for providing all the documentation to toss your *expletive deleted*ss out of the country?

Most polls of late show the "generic" Republican candidate beating Obama by two or three points. However, when a specific Republican candidate is measured against him, Obama usually comes out on top by the same two or three points.  The best any R candidate does against Obama is Romney, generally with a tie.
Given the supposedly serious discontent with all things out of DC right now, why are the numbers not more lopsided in the R's favor?
The media will be trying their best to make the economy look better than it really is in the run-up Nov. 6, thereby boosting O's chances.  IMO, Obama stands a good chance of being re-elected.  I think we need to get our heads around that distasteful possibility.

A lot of polls exaggerate the number of liberals/democrats in their sample when they do polls.  These polls don't mean a whole heck of a lot right now anyway.
