Republican front-runners Mitt Romney, Rick Perry come from different worlds

Yes, Mittens will wipe the ground with her. She doesn’t have a china man’s chance of winning the nomination. That’s why there are suddenly positive stories being published by fascist rags...get her in...they know Mittens will kick her arse. This is the only way Mittens could we the nomination....otherwise, it is Perry all the way.

You do realize we think YOU are the troll...don’t you?

Sheesh, this troll calling is getting old. And who in the heck are you to call troll?

[CA Conservative]

I'm glad you at least posted the letters. Anyone with a brain (of course, I guess that leaves you out...) can read those letters and see that they are not "praising Hillarycare" or "supporting TARP". Perry wrote Hillary and commended her for addressing the issue of health care reform, and asked her to remember the needs of rural farmers. Ooooh, scary! And then, as the head of the RGA, he wrote a letter with the head of the DGA asking Congress to do something to help alleviate the national and international financial crisis in 2008. Oh my goodness! Liberalism run amok!!!

You are so funny - you are trying to smear Perry, but post the very documents that disprove your claim!

I am a Perry supporter...I am on a Perry thread...if I was on a Palin thread and continued almost every other post to post negative against Palin...then I would definitely be a troll.

[carjic]

I won’t vote for either of them. I prefer Sarah Palin but if she does not run we do have some better choices than Romney and Perry. I thought of McCain just as I do Romney and Perry and only voted for him because of Sarah Palin being a future choice. It was a mistake that I will NEVER make again. I will only vote for a conservative.

[carjic]

I'm sorry I thought that people who were really RINO’s, Libs or progressives masquerading like they were conservatives was the definition of a troll. My mistake.

[bwc2221]

There are several things that are identical with Mitt and Rick: neither is conservative and both are “for sale” and are ready, willing and able to sell out to the highest bidder.

[RKBA Democrat]

“Yes, I’m counting the trolls on this thread...”

Are you putting togther an FR Enemies of Rick Perry list?

If so, what do *I* have to do to get on it? Do I have to voice my concerns that he might be a corporate whore? Or that he might be a RINO in conservative clothing? Or that he isn’t very good on guns? Do I need to interview to get on this vaunted list?

[chesty_puller]

There is just something disingenuous about Mitt. He is too slick-ish

In Mass he was a pro abortion Mormon. Slick hell, the guy lives a lie.

Perry’s gun record is sort of ehhh, and Texas gun laws are more akin to those in Cali than they are to other southwest states.

Really? I don't know a lot about TX gun laws, so maybe you can fill me in.

In TX, is it illegal to sell a gun to another person, or even give it to you kid, without paying $35 and registering the sale with the state?

In TX, are full capacity magazines outlawed?

In TX are all older and unusual handguns illegal to buy because manufactuers have to do expensive "safety tests" on all handguns, including each caliber, to be on the AG's "approved" list?

In TX is it illegal to own a fully automatic firearm?

Is TX a "may issue" state where it's nearly impossible to get a concealed weapons permit in most jurisdictions?

In TX us it illegal to buy ammo online, and are hangun sales ammo sales recorded and requier a thumbprint?

In TX, do you need to take a bogus "safety test", and pay for a card that has to be renewed every 5 years in order to buy a handgun?

All of the above are CA laws. And other than having to get a permit to carry concealed, and no open carry, how are TX gun laws more restrictive than the states you mention?

The trolls are Rick’s friends!

[mylife]

I was laughing at that post as well!

[editor-surveyor]

Perry is a Democrat Trojan Horse, not a RINO.

Anyone that supports him is clearly either a fool or a troll. (or both?)

[smoothsailing]

LOL!

[South40]

Perry is a Democrat Trojan Horse, not a RINO.

You are right ES, I stand corrected.

Rick Perry = the democrats choice to replace Obama.

[mylife]

BTW the no open carry thing is in the TX constitution if I am not mistaken.
State Constitution Article I, Section 23

Every citizen shall have the right to keep and bear arms in the lawful defense of himself or the State; but the Legislature shall have power, by law, to regulate the wearing of arms, with a view to prevent crime.

It has NOTHING to do with Rick Perry.

[madison10]

I don’t think so. If you are correct who would you think they fear most...Sarah Palin, Mr. West, Herman Cain?

[Hugin]

Yep, and that was just off the top of my head. I didn’t even think to include the CA AWB, which allows the AG to decide some model is similar to a banned model, and add it to the banned list retroactively. Probably could add another dozen or so other laws as well. I wonder if RKBA Dem will answer my questions?

[mylife]

Ive lived in Ca,Az and Tx
Ca was alright 30 years ago,but about 20 years ago they started getting stupid.
I like Az’s gunlaws the best, but outside of open carry for handguns I don’t find Texas restrictive at all.
