The point missed here is that both the Establishment clause and Free Exercise are the law of the land. Perry ignores the former, or is embarrasingly unware of it.

This might be the most retarded political ad I've ever seen. He might as well have said: "I'll put an end to the government ban on apple pie." I think he actually BELIEVES what he's saying!

So, to answer your question, he's just as dumb as a bag of rocks.

Your delusions are getting worse, SourD. PLEASE seek help and get the medication you need. I'm growing concerned for you. Your sense of reality is slipping fast.

We all pay into the public schools via property taxes, like it or not. If Laura wants to send her kid to private school, in effect she has to pay double--once thru property taxes, and second thru tuition for the private school.

Vouchers mean that everybody pays just once, then attends the school of their choice.

And in the liberal mentality that constitutes wanting 'government to pay you to go away.' Okaaayyy.

I don't think anyone said it is a right, but what is wrong with school vouchers? a school district spend X number of $s each year per student, why not let parents choose if they want their kids in public school or give the parents said amount of money and let them decide where they want their children educated?

That snafu when he expressed some compassion toward the children of illegal immigrants taught him a tough lesson. The eventual Republican nominee must continually assure the bigoted GOP voters that he hates gays, non-Christians and immigrants more than any other candidate.
