SUPER TUESDAY

HOW HAS YOUR P.O.V. CHANGED SINCE NOVEMBER? DO YOU STILL BACK "THE HUCK" FOR SUPER TUESDAY? IT ISN'T THAT I DON'T LIKE HIM, BUT I LIKE TO TELL PEOPLE THAT HE IS A PRO-LIFE LIBERAL.

FISCALLY SPEAKING HE IS KIND-OF A POPULIST, NOT TO FAR REMOVED FROM JOHN "TWO-AMERICAS" EDWARDS. ALSO, I BELIEVE THE BUDGET FOR ARKANSAS WENT UP QUITE A BIT DURING HIS TENOR ($1BILLION TO $5BILLION?), WHICH DOESN'T STRIKE ME AS A PRODUCT OF SMALL GOVERNMENT CONSERVATIVATISM.

AND WHAT IS WITH ALL THE SENTENCE REDUCTIONS AND PUBLIC SCHOOLING FOR ILLEGALS?

I KNOW ALOT OF THIS STUFF HAS COME OUT AFTER THE NOVEMBER FLARE-UP.

I still like him. I believe that every State budget went up by that much in that time period, not 100% sure but I will look into that. The reduction in sentences is not really the way Romney explained it at all. They still have longer sentences than many states and they lowered them at the request of the prisons. Every state in the country allows illegal immigrants to go to public schools. He was simply trying to ease the government burden by allowing people who were students in Arkansas for their whole life to get a scholarship. Thus making them productive residents of Arkansas. They would have applied for citizenship before they would qualify. He also has the strongest stance on immigration of any of the candidates still running.
