I was trying to do you a favor and let you know that you have a lot in common with douche bags on other threads, and in true d-bag fashion you celebrate being a troll.

LOL..you’re the Ash of the Perry threads!

“Rick Perry panic fires up the left”

It’s not doing much for fans of a certain non-candidate either.

There is a difference between being a leader in the government and being a leader of the government.

We chose representatives and give consent to be governed, NOT RULED!

I'm not sure what you hope to gain with your current level of dialog but I can assure you it will not deter me or any other conservative from exposing RINO Rick Perry for the fraud that he obviously is.

I made this just for you.

Do you think chanting RINO! RINO! RINO! bothers me?

Its beyond time that the RINOs came to power. I’ve been tired of the GOP as usual types we’ve been electing for years.

And yes, Palin is a RINO in every best sense of the word.

Me? I’ve been a RINO for years.

The GOP is the dumbest party in history for nominating McCain, the guy who undermined a GOP majority in both houses with a GOP president in office.

It’s time for RINOs to kick GOP ass.

Just laughing, not hating. There is more than enough hate on FR anymore.

Not really an apologist, just a realist.

Good observation. I suppose I am a RINO also as the Republicans of the 2000’s have sucked. I’m not really willing to classify myself as a Republican if the Republicans of 2000 to 2008 are the standard measure.

RINO it is.

If you want to revisit the threads you so amptly polluted (or were conspicuously absent from) on the discussion of the IL Senate race of 2010, feel free.

As I mentioned, you are afraid to say that you preferred Alexi getting elected rather than Kirk. You are a fraud. As you can see folks, he's just another troll.

Same here. I can't say the same for some Perry supporters though.

I can vote for Perry. I’d prefer Sarah if she runs, but Perry will do.

I'd like to see the two of them run together as a ticket. Perry/Palin or even Palin/Perry, running against obama/biden.

Two conservative governors from our two largest energy producing states! An unbeatable combination, IMO.

Yawn. Man, don't the Perrybots have anything better to do than insist everyone who doesn't worship St. Rick is a "Paultard" or "working for Obama's re-election"? It's starting to remind me of that bizarre time FR got invaded by Romney supporters who insisted EVERYONE who didn't want Romney as McCain's running mate was a "Huckabee fan" (news to all the Hunter, Tancredo, Thompson, etc., voters who didn't trust Romney)

This is why it's a waste of time to try and discuss facts with Perrybots. They will change the subject or simply ignore your response if it doesn't match their talking points. E.g,: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Perrybot: Perry ain't GOOD enough you PURISTS? Oh yeah, well why don't YOU tell me someone who's BETTER?

Me: (Gives Perrybot long list of superior GOP presidential candidates and why they are better conservatives and just as "electable" as Ricky)

Perrybot: (leaves thread because he can't prove I'm a "Paultard" or "waiting for Sarah")

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Perrybot : Rick Perry has ALWAYS been a conservative. The only reason he supported Gore back then is Al Gore was a CONSERVATIVE DEMOCRAT in 1988. Gore was an old fashioned, pro-life, pro-tobacco, family values guy that hadn't embraced global warning yet.

Me: Really? He's a link from the NFRTL proving Gore had a 0% pro-life score in 1988. And here's one from the ACU showing Gore had an 8% conservative rating, ranking him more liberal than socialist Bernie Sanders. And here's --

Perrybot : Nevermind that! Gore was the most MODERATE candidate running for President in the Democrat Party that year. He was as conservative as you're gonna get, that's why Perry --

Me: Really? Here's a link from the 1988 primary debate with Gore attacking Dick Gephardt from the left and bashing him for voting for the Reagan tax cuts and not being "progressive" enough.

Perrybot : Shut up! You must HATE Texans! And anyone from the south for that matter. Did Ron Paul send you here?

Let’s see that “long list of superior GOP presidential candidates” then.

Why? Are you planning to go AWOL from the thread once I post this and “Sarah Palin” or “Ron Paul” isn’t my ONLY choice like the Perrybots insist?

Oh well, here you go, better choices that Rick Perry:

Michele Bachmann
Thaddeus McCotter
Rick Santorum
Herman Cain
Buddy Roemer

And when Pawlenty was in the race, he was a superior choice as well. Both were ho-hum governors, but Pawlenty was less fake and didn’t try to rewrite his past history. Also, he won far tougher elections than Perry ever did.

If they can’t actually win then they aren’t superior. Losers can’t make any changes. Losing to 0bama will just give him 4 more unfettered years of fundamentally transforming this country from a constitutional republic to a communist hellhole.

The other candidates bring a lot to the race and discussion but in this critical election, electability is one of the major factors we have to look at.

Great picture. If you don’t mind, I might want to use it occasionally, when the anti-Perry chorus gets too loud around here. Glad you signed it. :)

Please use it all you want, and thank you for the compliment!

As for the anti-Perry bunch, they’re losing steam, no one pays much attention to them. But they do seem to enjoy babbling to each other! :o)
