Some of You Tea Party Folk Think Perry’s the Answer?

Bert, I’m as free-market as it gets. Problem is, Perry isn’t. Don’t confuse friendships with big corporations with capitalism. Lots and lots of corporatists out there. Perry’s one of them. Sorry, but saying he’s a capitalist is roughly on par with saying he’s a communist. Neither holds up to serious scrutiny.

At this point, Perry is far more electable than Palin--that is not an anti-Palin statement. It's a reflection of poll after poll.

It seems that simply expressing doubt in Sarah Palin's ability to sweep the Republican primary and defeat Obama in a landslide of historic proportions is equated with "bashing" her.

Have you read the posts on here from Palin supporters? They're vitriolic. I don't like any of this. We all must come together after our nominee is chosen.

I don't either.

I see it like this: There's a certain element of posters here who believe Sarah Palin is entitled to the Republican nomination by virtue of being Sarah Palin. She can sit on the fence as long as she likes, it doesn't matter because as soon as she throws her hat into the ring the nomination is hers for the taking and nobody better stand in her way.

To these people, Rick Perry is a threat because he's picking up support from those who would've traditionally been in Palin's camp except not only have they gotten tired of waiting, they've started to question if Palin can actually beat Obama. They've demonstrated both a lack of patience and faith that has angered and unnerved this element of Palin supporters. Hence the childish backlash and the ridiculous hyperbole that's increasingly being posted here against Perry. Governor Perry was a solid conservative prior to entering the race. Now all of the sudden, he's as much as lefty as they come, as bad as Obama. Really?

As of now, I'm in the Perry camp. Is he the most conservative candidate? No, but I believe he is the most conservative candidate who can beat Obama. The second part of this statement is very important to me. But make no mistake, if Sarah Palin earns her party's nomination, I will support her enthusiastically.

My primary concern is watching a defeated Obama board Marine One on January 20th, 2013 and fly away forever. I will support whichever candidate I believe will make this a reality. Right now, I believe this candidate is Governor Rick Perry.

“It’s pretty much the RINOs, the establishment Republicans who want politics as usual and business as usual in D.C., who are supporting Perry.

Don’t let Perry fool you, people. He and his supporters are anti-Tea-Party and have been going around smearing Sarah Palin and everybody else associated with the Tea Party.”

God you people are boring. You're not even trying to make sense anymore. Everyone knows the Beltway types like e.g. Brooks, Noonan, Rove are not fans.

As to Palin, you're not really doing her a service, because I'm starting to hate all of you so much, I'm starting to hate her!

She endorsed Perry (when she didn't have to, there was someone else in the race besides Hutchinson who was to the right of Perry), so I guess that was just another mistake. Like McCain. Like Hatch.

I don't know if it's changed, but did you know w/in the year her approval rating IN ALASKA was lower than Obama’s? If it's better now, I bet it's because his went down, rather than hers up.

Again, I know you fanatics aren't going to listen to this, but this is a terrible way to win support for her. Ask, someone, anyone you know whose job it is to sell.

Encourage her to enter the race, then when she does, write threads about why she's better than Perry. If you care about her, YOU ARE MAKING PEOPLE HATE HER doing it this way.

What Gardasil mandate? There was NEVER ONE! Mainly because in 2003 during the autism scare, four years before the USDA approved Gardasil, Rick Perry supported, got passed and signed into law legislation that allows parents to opt out of ANY IMMUNIZATIONS THEY DEEM DANGEROUS TO THEIR CHILDREN. All they had to do was a pick up a form at school, fill it out...deal done! They get to choose what immunizations their children get. My daughter opted out in 2003 and didn’t even have to pick up the Gardasil form. Your Gardasil krap is horse hockey!

The TTC was ordered by the US Congress in the 1990’s, NOT Rick Perry. It’s being built TODAY because the US Congress ordered it! We just hit some problems with the design of it and it’s been corrected and re-routed. By the way that SUPER HIGHWAY has been running from Laredo to Canada since 1950’s when Eisenhower built it!

I tout every bit of his actions as conservative.

I have worked with Governor Perry’s office on the many issues as a member of my county’s ad hoc commission on state issues, INCLUDING the TTC. And there’s not a blasted truth in any of your democratic propaganda.

[Inspectorette]

They caught him saying under his breath as he walked off from one...”see ya, mother @#$#er.” It was a big deal that hurt him with conservatives, saying the “F” word. So that’s some of the ammo they use to say he’s really not a Christian.

Was this a different occasion than when he said, "Adios, MoFo"? Or was it just translated into English?

[DeusExMachina05]

I agree. My questions for all the Palinista’s is..since she is not running, who you going to support Myth Romney? Doubt it.

[wolfcreek]

Nobody but PALIN. right?

You do realize you’re simply posting a single blogger’s opinion. Who cares?

Perry vs Barry

2012

I am pretty sure that my loyalty will lie with Palin if she runs but Perry strikes me as much better than Romney.

One thing about Perry is that he couldn’t have gotten done what he did without a like minded House and Senate and we need to concentrate on sending a majority of Republicans to the US Congress this next election.

Marco Rubio:

‘On the honesty part, for example, he admitted, obliquely, that George W. Bush had raided the nation’s piggy bank and subsequently beaten the piggy to death. “I know that it’s popular in my party to blame the president, the current president,” Rubio said. “But the truth is that the only thing this president has done is accelerate policies that were already in place, and were doomed to fail.”

http://www.npr.org/2011/08/25/139935366/new-republic-rubio-the-reasonable-republican

Rubio doesn’t want to blame Obama????

____________________________________

Rubio clearly said he wanted to phase out Social Security as something unaffordable, something that would bankrupt the nation and harm our children.

http://www.npr.org/2011/08/25/139935366/new-republic-rubio-the-reasonable-republican

Then who is going to take care of our seniors?
Sure lots of places have no Social Security.
They’re known as Third World countries. You may have heard of some of them.. Somalia? Sri Lanka? Bangladesh? We should ask those countries how they take care of their elderly, yes?

I get it now. Texas kids are stupid because of its governor. So, if murder rates are higher in New York, it’s because of Cuomo. And if people are fatter in Mississippi, it’s because of Barbour. Thanks for the enlightenment...

MORE PROBLEMS Perry’s coziness with Chinese and foreign investors exposes a huge weak­ness in his right flank—illegal immigration and open borders. Perry focused on the Chinese companies ability to create jobs in Texas........while national security experts concluded that the global telecom giant poses a potential cyber-security risk to the US military and US businesses. Three times since 2008, a US government security panel has blocked Huawei from acquiring or partnering with US companies because of concerns that secrets could be leaked to China’s government or its military.

“Perry’s ill-conceived “Trans Texas Corridor” (wherein he used eminent domain to take land from Texans for foreigners) has been linked to the global plan to economically integrate North America, with the eventual goal of a common security perimeter modeled after the European Union.

----------------------------------

Dang it, Perry ain't taking this settin' down. The Mexican govt and La Raza are sending hordes of illegals to defend Rick.

Heck, Senor Perrynista might even get another monogrammed serape (/snix).

Senor El Perrynista receives a serape from Mexican Gov Enrique Martinez
of Coahuila, as a token of appreciation for enacting the Texican Dream Act.

I like that MarkAmerica. He’s an excellent writer. I know nothing of Perry, but much about Sarah.

I know, she’s not in it......yet. The more I learn about Perry, the more he reminds me of the RINOS I promised myself I wouldn’t vote for (my last vote was for Sarah, NOT mclame).

If the country wants to bring itself to ruin (Conservatives/Tea Party not included), so be it. Let the war begin.

If Sarah isn’t on my ballot, I’m writing her in.

[org.whodat]

Not one word, not one word can you prove is not true, thus you start the personal attack crap.

[rockinqsranch]

NOT interested in seeing Perry in the WH this coming election anymore than Mitt Romney. We need a totally fresh start both in Congress, and the WH.

We personally will be disappointed if we cannot have Palin in the WH, and a heavy TEA Party presence in a majority Republican Congress.

IF idiots nominate Perry, we’ll have no choice but to support him over Obama of course. NOT our choice.

[Gena Bukin]

He's a self-serving career politician who's more beholden to big business and his globalist masters than he would be to the American people. And the more I read the more I am convinced both he and his supporters like it that way.

Are you sure you're on the right website.

Statements like this sound much more appropriate for Democratic Underground than they do here.

Maybe I'm crazy but I kinda like big business. That's where the jobs are.

[ballplayer]

Obama sure Isnt

[RowdyFFC]

Did you notice that young reporter he poked in the chest was quoting a piece of Politico garbage and obviously didn’t know what he was talking about? Why would you waste your time on somebody who spews Politico krap pretending it’s the truth?

[DRey]

No. Same thing. Translation. I loved it.

[NoGrayZone]

"At this point, Perry is far more electable than Palin-"

It's pretty sad you have debased yourself to the "most electable" than to the most qualified, who would actually turn this country around.

[hummingbird]

Thanks for your post, el_texicano. I haven't decided who I really like, only a couple I really don't like.

So, your post gives me point of reference to understand where Perry is; I'm reading FED UP! I don't know any candidates’ hagiography (hope that is right wood!) so I'm ready to start digging!

I know Kinky Friedman (sic?) likes him (so that's a plus-heh!). But, I want to see any undersides all of the candidates have.

Thanks for some stuff to chew on! texicana hummingbird
