Republican-bashing was the order of the day when Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley, chairman of the Democratic Governors Association, spoke with reporters Thursday – except when it came to GOP presidential candidate Rick Perry and one of his Texas immigration policies.

Governor O'Malley went out of his way to praise Governor Perry for supporting a 2001 Texas law that allows some illegal immigrants to attend college at in-state tuition rates.

But when O’Malley was asked about Republican presidential candidate Rick Perry, he want out of his way to praise the Texas Governor for supporting a 2001 Texas law that allows some illegal immigrants to attend college at in-state tuition rates.

"One thing I do like about Perry, I do like the fact that he recognizes that fair is fair and if a family’s paying in-state taxes, they should pay in-state tuition. I agree with that and I think he’s right in making that assertion. I think the people of Texas are right,â€

O'Malley loves to bash us MD-ers as immigrant bashers. He loves to merge his illegal "new Americans" with legal immigrants. And then uses the fact that many illegals are brown skinned to call us racists. He is actually the racist because he is focusing on skin instead of the law--I can't even stand to hear him on TV he is so unctuous about his illegals.
