I think Sharpton better rein in his own peeps - starting with the drive-by thugs in the hood

Ben & Maggie did a fine job on Rick’s agenda for the most part, and that agenda of his is selling. Nationally. The feminist’s complaint against Rick hits a wall right out of the chute for all the obvious reasons. Non story on that.
What I thought was interesting is that Perry’s “group” is even a little taken back by his rocket to the top. Not hardly. Perry is panic worthy for the Obama “group”.

I like Perry and am glad he’s scaring the Dems, but he’s soaking wet on illegal immigration. Who the heck can oppose cheap, harmless use of E-Verify by employers?, to cite just one example.

“Whether he’s the nominee or not, he absolutely helps fire up our base,” said Jennifer Palmieri, the vice president for communications at the liberal Center for American Progress. “To the degree to which progressives are disaffected and unenthusiastic – this is their ‘holy sh**’ moment.”

It's ironic, the people that Perry terrifies the most. All liberals, everywhere, and a thin slice on the furthest right.

Ironic in that he'll be able to capture the vast majority right and the middle, so long as he keeps those first two groups as enemies.

And all these Lefty parasites feeding at the trough of taxpayer funded grants are scared spitless that they will lose that funding. How blessed the country would be without the entire Communist Left!

If one can judge a man by the caliber of his enemies, Rick Perry is looking better every day.

The dwindling Ron Paul contingent is running on fumes.

Giuliani cut the crime rate in NYC, but that doesn’t change the fact he is a social liberal, anti-2A, pro-abortion and favors sanctuary city policies and is pro-illegal. Perry seems to have a habit of endorsing liberals for President.

Why would these liberals be all upset at Perry ? After all, he was once Al Gore’s Texas Campaign Manager for President and supported the liberal Rudy Giuliani.

******

Both Perry and Gore were different then. No candidate is going to be perfect on all the issues, but, judging by the enemies he has now, he could be good for us.

One thing I've learned about Perry is he knows how to identify his enemies...he is rather good at that...hey he is an Aggie...4-5 years in the corp then 4-5 years in the A/F...he gets it.

I think you’re right, and that’s why voter fraud is becoming my biggest concern. I think we’ve got our candidate, now the challenge is keeping the election honest.

I have been thinking the same thing.

Nice revisionist history there. Gore was VERY left-wing in 1988, I was one of his constituents and remember him well (how his campaign schtick didn’t match his nutty votes). Perry was never a Conservative, just an opportunist (and let us not forget he was a Rove recruit). His endorsement of Rudy in ‘08 was more proof positive of that.

They are some of the same ones who tried to get obami’s basketball buddy elected to the senate in Illinois. Alexi the crooked banker.
they come out trashing the republican and when questioned called everyone a RINO, just like here, and then said they supported some clown no one heard of.

Agreed, and they're coming at him from all sides. That reminds me of something USMC General Chesty Puller is reported to have said...
