called little nasy names

What name would that be? I pinged the list because your screen name was contained in my post.

What pack attack? I want the Perry supporters to see what is behind the puff piece articles that will most assuredly be appearing as this thing goes on.

You might try checking out the sources I indicated. When you see the slant I described it is pretty sobering.

MSM is pushing "Ricky for republicans."

Why?

Think. It ain't illegal, yet...

I haven’t decided who I’m going to vote for in the primary yet, but people like you sure piss me off. If we don’t back your boy we are giving a vote to obama. Puhleeze! Spare me your nonsense. You sound just like the RINO RNC.
Secondly, any conservative knows that hate crime legislation is BS and nothing but pandering to minorities. I can not think of any crime that is motivated by love and a minority’s life is no more valuable than mine.

Crap...just further proof of the value of the spellcheck on here. Nasy = nasty Now...for the rest of your post:

"This ought to get things rolling."

Sounds like a statement of 'stirring' the pot to me and an attempt to start more conflict/flame wars. And as anyone can attest, it gets ugly around here; people start calling out names and implying that others are 'no good', are not conservative, are robots etc. if they are not lockstep in group think of the most vocal. Didn't mean you were calling names in that specific post.

And really, there was no reason for that snarky 'Think' remark at the end of your post.

I'll do my research and that's what I will base my opinion on and my position is clearly stated in #57 if you would care to read.

Nope. No vetting. Perry is the man so shut your mouth, toe the line and go vote for him. Also, send him lots of money. To do anything else, according to some commiewannabes on this site doing anything else is voting for obama.

I’m not saying he should not be questioned but what we should focus on is what Perry says NOW. What direction does he plan to go if he is elected NOW. People can have a change of heart or modify their position when the facts of a particular issue itself changes.

Remember, Ronald Reagan was once a DEMOCRAT. I would say he significantly changed his stance as he learned more about the true issues facing our country.

What matters is what Rick Perry says now and what are his plans now and do you believe him, not something dug up from over a decade ago.

Yet another reason I won't vote for this fair weather bird. He is one of those politicians who says whatever the current audience wants to hear.

A crime is a crime is a crime. Is murder worse because you are hateful about it??? I'm guessing you don't drag someone behind a truck because you like them.

I hate hate crimes. Just more pc crap.

Because Liberal talking points are so helpful in vetting a Conservative candidate.

And you have no right to tell anyone on this forum to “back off”.

So you think Perry should not be questioned? I thought the Primary Election’s purpose is to vet all candidates, both incumbent or not. I’m looking forward to vigorous vetting of Rick Perry (former Democrat, Texas Gov.) and all the other prospective candidates. SoCon is right to question Perry so why not back off!

Do you mean like Bush1 and his New World Order? As important that it is to be able to see/know the candidates on their immediate domestic issues it is just as important/vital to know and be able to trust a candidate on their positions of the USA relative to the world.

Perry has now lost my support. This is a bill to cater towards fascists and perverts. He is a complete RINO for signing it.
