His last name is two syllables too . . . J.R. Ewing - J.R. Perry . . . it can’t be a coincidence. :)
Let’s make a pact.
Instead of remaining silent, when we hear crap like that, butt in and say “why?”
It might be slightly rude, but if a bunch of us do it, we could either explain the truth, or at least understand the stupidity.
My wife, however, who is as conservative as me, typically attempts to keep my mouth shut for purposes of maintaining the peace.
They should be afraid. Perry’s in his fourth term as governor of Texas, and has never lost an election in his life. He’s not perfect, but he’s clearly a dire threat to Barack Obama. And to a lot of the other Republican candidates, who are largely flawed themselves or lightweights by comparison.The competition is going to fade into the sunset. Pawlenty saved himself a lot of trouble by getting out early.
Perry can win this but has to tread lightly. Explain unequivocally that nobody is taking anything away from them, rather, trying to ensure that their grandchildren, too, have something.
No, Americans (present party excluded) are not ready to hear the truth. They would rather watch ESPN or “Pawn Stars” and not think about such unpleasant things.
I was talking to friend at work and suggested that he might want to buy some firearms and start building a food supply because you never know if you might need them some day in the event of a natural disaster or something. Anyhow, he assured me that everything was gonna be fine and laughed that I was a “conspiracy theorist”.
I really love that guy, but there’s just no helping some people. I wonder what all these people are going to do if the dollar becomes Zimbabwean tender and the “gubmint” cheese runs out?

Barack Obama's not going to be asked any hard questions, so we may as well draw a sharp contrast for the viewers.
He is so has been, it is becoming boring. Reminds me of the AT&T commercial, were someone got the message late and makes a fool of themselves. That fits the media and MITT to a T, we are already on to something else now. heehee
While many on the right criticize Perry’s prior Democratic credentials - that could also be used to persuade current disaffected democrats that they too can “come to Jesus”.You too can have a Zell Miller moment.Perry can empathize with the average Dem that he once, like them, believed the Dem Party was for middle class Americans and free market concepts.
He should stress that he came to the realization that he could no longer support the Dem Party in the direction it was headed and is both dismayed and appalled at the blatant anti-American, Marxist, socialist perversion that its leaders now represent.

Well then, just begin your own loud conversation extolling the virtues of the GOP candidates vs. the philosophy of BO and see if those same liberals have an equal desire to ‘maintain the peace’ or if they jump up and get in your face;)
If Rick Perry can use his middle name without any shame, J. Richard Perry - why cannot we call Obama by the name B. Hussein Obama?
McCain made it taboo. He scolded anyone who used it. Very corrupt, manipulative group.
He flailed at it impotently with a canoe paddle.
Rick Perry's dog was once attacked by a giant killer coyote.
He shot it.
Jus' sayin'.
Texas, which crafts a budget every two years, was facing a $6.6 billion shortfall for its 2010-2011 fiscal years. It plugged nearly all of that deficit with $6.4 billion in Recovery Act money, allowing it to leave its $9.1 billion rainy day fund untouched.
Even as Perry requested the Recovery Act money, he railed against it. On the very same day he asked for the funds, he set up a petition titled “No Government Bailouts.”
