Thanks for your encouraging remarks. We need to make “We the Tea Party” a major force in our politics at every level. Support the “Hobbit faction” of the GOP!

If it comes down to Perry vs Obama a vote for Perry is a no brainer. But I thing Sarah is a much better choice. Let's not forget that Rick Perry used to be a Democrat! I smell New World Order puppet master George Soros. Look at Perry's record! Pro-amnesty, pro-NAFTA, pro-sanctuary cities and he was Al Gore's campaign manager! And let's not forget "Rick Perry's Ties With Merck Run Deep" Gov. Rick Perry ordered Friday that schoolgirls in Texas must be vaccinated against the sexually transmitted virus that causes cervical cancer, making Texas the first state to require the shots. http://www.kbtx.com/home/h​eadlines/5546651.html

Perry is just one step (and a small one at that)under Romney in being the top RINO. I can’t believe so many on here are supporting him.

Yeah.

Oh, wait, Perry is pro-life, pro-gun, and pro-business (not pro-corporate raiding). There is no category in which Romney is anywhere close to being as conservative as Perry.

I realize that Perry is more of a standard issue politician than a Fox News rock star, but comparing him to Mitt 'The Human Hologram' Romney is fundamentally unserious.

You got it. I am beginning to really dislike her because I think she is trying to stay relevant to sell books or get a TV gig. I could care less what she has to say. Her record of accomplishments are ZERO.

Your “joke” wasn’t funny.

Getting irritated at people who make comments about the way we talk down here is my prerogative.

People who keep calling Perry a “RINO” and no different from Romney and even “no different from Obama” just showing their own true colors — Dem/Obama enablers, or supporters. The Dems are actively trying to set conservatives against each other and try to get Perry defeated in the primary, so Obama doesn’t have to stand up against him.

Perry is very much a conservative, with a conservative record and most real conservatives and tea-party-ers know this.

Rick Perry, the Texas Tea Party Governor

http://www.cfif.org/v/index.php/commentary/54/1028-rick-perry-the-texas-tea-party-governor-

“For starters, he personifies the Tea Party movement. When Perry was locked in an uncertain primary fight in 2009 against U.S. Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison, he countered her endorsement from the elder President Bush with appearances at three Texas tea party events. At the one in Austin, Perry fired up the anti-tax crowd by blasting the federal government’s interventions into state policymaking. “

Republican Gov. Chris Christie defended his decision to nominate a Muslim judge to the state Superior Court against conservative critics who warned that the new judge will implement Sharia law. The notoriously blunt-spoken Christie calling their fears “crap” and “crazy.”

You are exactly right...and if another rino is nominated the republican party will go down in flames again.

The true conservatives will sit this one out again like when McCain was nominated.

Once and for all will a real conservative stand up and lead the stupid party?

Just as long as he doesn’t act like George Bush, I’m ok with that.

Yeah......it would be a dirty rotten shame to have an honest, moral, courageous, classy patriot in the Oval Office again, wouldn't it?

TWO DIFFERENT IMAMS.

Rick Perry, the Mosque and his agreement with Muslims
Austin, Texas, 30 October 2009 — Austin, Texas, 30 October 2009 —

At the invitation of Texas State Governor Rick Perry, Mawlana Hazar Imam traveled to Austin yesterday to sign an Agreement of Cooperation between the State of Texas and the Ismaili Imamat. During the visit, Hazar Imam and Governor Perry also held talks at the State Capitol on a range of issues of mutual interest

Describing the importance of the agreement, Governor Perry explained that “traditional Western education speaks little of the influence of Muslim scientists, scholars, throughout history, and for that matter the cultural treasures that stand today in testament to their wisdom.”

Yes, I see — he should have just shot the imams dead, as he did with the coyote. (/SARCASM!)

Let’s just keep our not only “Muslim-lover”, but terrorist-Muslim-lover president for another 4 years instead. Yes, that’s what we should do, let’s all vote for Obama, because Perry actually talked to a couple of actual peaceful Muslims.
