"Perry to visit Dubuque on Tuesday."

I guarantee you Perry did it on purpose. Obama must be horrified.

“I hate to inform you, but Perry is just getting started, and the excitement is only building. As for your tiresome spamming of all the Perry threads hoping to somehow SWAY THE PRIMARIES, those are liberal tactics, and I’m afraid your cause is ridiculous and lost. “

LOL. I like your sense of humor, and your definition of the word spam (i.e., when someone says something about your guy, that you don’t like). I have no doubt that I could find plenty of “spam” from you if I look it up...and use your definition.

As to Perry, he’s about peaked. He should have known that the country would NEVER let him get away with the stunts he pulled and tried to pull in Texas (like giving little girls shots so that they could have wild sex in their teen years).

I sure as heck will bring up my history

Well.. today's history for you involves crying for help from the cops.

Pretty tough. Yep.

One thing he is wrong about is that this country IS broken. Nancy Pelousy, Dingy Harry and Il Duce Obama did not inherit political office. They were voted in to office. The problem is about half the voters in this Country (i.e. people that vote in elections) vote Democrat. When the non-voters who care about their Country vote and take it back, then the Country will be on its way to healing. Until then, it is broken.

When he first took office as governor in 2001, Perry went to Mexico and bragged about his law that granted “the children of undocumented workers” special in-state tuition at Texas colleges, the first state in the nation to do so.

“The message is simple,” Perry concluded, “educacion es el futuro, y si se puede.” Education is the future, and (echoing Cesar Chavez’s slogan) yes we can.]

Just a few weeks ago, Perry defended his decision to give in-state tuition to illegal immigrants. He said “to punish these young Texans for their parents’ actions is not what America has always been about.”

Perry opposed Arizona’s tough anti-illegal immigration law SB 1070. “I have concerns,” he explained, “with portions of the law passed in Arizona and believe it would not be the right direction for Texas.”

He spoke out last year against using E-Verify to prevent illegal immigrants from getting jobs as state employees, who get their paychecks from the taxpayers. He insisted it “would not make a hill of beans’ difference.”

Numbers USA, a group that supports immigration control, gives Perry a “D-“ for his positions supporting amnesty, open borders, and opposing border security.

“You’re among the toughest guys I know.
Asking others to fight for you is awesomely bad-ass.”

I didn’t ask anyone to fight for me, I asked them to ban you for intentionally VIOLATING THE POSTING RULES AT FREE REPUBLIC. Can’t you get that into your head.

And believe me, I don’t need any help explaining who Rick Perry is to the country...I’ve lived him for a decade.

THIS is your “kinder, gentler version”??

I don’t necessarily agree with BobL, but your posts to him are disgusting. He is absolutely right to call for your banning. This is just outrageous!

Well Bob, if that’s what happened, then it’s because their own parents are complete incompetent boobs since they could have very easily opted out!

And that’s why I’m so against electing another Open-Borders type like Perry...the country is about out of room for inviting hostile immigrants. Very soon we’ll flip over as California did, and then it will be game over. We don’t another president who talks tough about the border, but won’t lift a finger back home.

You're cute, Bob. I'm sorry you are going to be so dissappointed with this election cycle.

“Well Bob, if that’s what happened, then it’s because their own parents are complete incompetent boobs since they could have very easily opted out!”

Opting out of inoculations is tough, it involves swearing that you are philosophically or religiously opposed to the concept, having it notarized (not sure here, but someone did say that), and renewing every two years. Only about 1000 people per year in Texas do that now.

I happen to support inoculations, as I don’t want my kids to get Measles, for example. But if they end up with millions of parents opting-out because of this sex-shot, then it’s likely that the whole system gets messed up. Anyway, I still have trouble with this from a conservative viewpoint.

Go back and check his campaign promises. He campaigned on lowering the property taxes. It has not happened anywhere. the school boards operate within the limits given to them by the law. Perry campaigned on property tax law reform. It hasn’t happened. Any thoughts on franchise taxes and Guardasil?
BTW, you are not helping your cause by using lib tactics. When you don’t have the facts on your side don’t start calling people that you disagree with names. And a polite person wouldn’t do that even if the facts were on their side.

Thanks, “you’re a man of integrity in any universe”. To quote the old Star Trek.

Funny. It seems like you and your clan are the ones with the liberal tactics. I'm just not backing down from the attacks. Get it? Sorry if that isn't polite enough for ya.

Guardasil? How many times does he have to apologize for that? He's done it several times. He explained that both his parents have survived cancer, that he created the thing with an opt-out provision, and that he should've done it with an opt-IN provision instead. Franchise taxes are a non-issue, and as far as property taxes, he campaigned on them but is not ultimately responsible. Texas has something called a LEGISLATURE. This is the same legislature that shot down his work eliminating sanctuary cities. But whatever. You're not up for listening, and I'm tired of giving time to the haters tonight.
