GOVERNOR RICK PERRY: Gun control is hitting the target you're aiming at.......

Guess they forget that Blackjack Pershing chased Pancho Villa across northern Me-hee-co. Didn’t catch him, but sufficiently scared the Mexican government that eventually they contained him and he was killed.

You Perry Fangirls must stay up all night looking for crap to post .....

She did. She was posting up fresh threads at 3 a.m., no kidding.

If it comes down to those two, I’ll not vote for either. They are both RINOs and not worthy of my support.

That said, I will vote for whoever is running against Ubama. I’m not stupid.

In the meantime, I am committed to seeing Herman Cain get the nomination because he is the best man of the bunch that is running.

Their pretty good at swimming the Rio Grande. Do you think they could swim the Sea of Cortez?

And back in the mid 1800’s the Texas Rangers spent a whole lot of time across the border killing bandits who’d committed crimes in Texas. Those bandits thought once across the border they’d be safe. Texas Rangers didn’t see it that way.

Exactly. These “potheads”, are helping Islamic TERRORIST enter this country.

It is just a matter of time before the picture posted is in an American neighborhood.

....I am committed to seeing Herman Cain get the nomination because he is the best man of the bunch that is running.

How so?

[marty60]

Cain will find a reason to leave the campaign, I’m still waiting for his Fundrasing total for this quarter. Then you will see that these msm push polls mean NOTHING.

A RINO (Republican in Name Only) is used to characterize an officeholder or candidate who is a member of the Republican Party, but holds views outside the mainstream Republican Party such as support for raising taxes, abortion as a right, gay rights and gun control.

How exactly does Rick Perry fit in this category? There is a proven record that Mitt Romney fits this. Whereas the record on Perry does not in any way fit that category. Even Ronald Reagan fit the same category as Mitt Romney with the exception of gay rights.

[Howie66]

Have you taken the time to look at the history, character and ideas of Mr. Cain?

If you have and then done a apples to apples comparison to Romney and Perry, you wouldn’t have to ask this question.

At least that is my opinion.

I have seen Perry up close and personal as my Governor and I can only say that he talks a good game when running for office, but once the confetti is swept up, he’s just another empty suit. All show and no go.

Romney is the choice of the same people that gave us John McCain, Bob Dole, John Boehner and Mitch McConnell. If that doesn’t bother you, then I don’t know what to tell you.

[casinva]

Cain’s IOWA campaign staff even quit because they said Cain was not taking his campaign seriously.

A while back, we stopped and had lunch in Hondo on the way to Utopia, Texas (I believe it was the Dairy Queen) and it literally was a museum of photographs of early Texas Rangers in the area.

[Cincinatus' Wife]

Have you taken the time to look at the history, character and ideas of Mr. Cain?

Would you mind putting it in your own words. You seem bent on characterizing Gov. Perry when I asked you to tell me your reasons for supporting Herman Cain. Please.

The Conquistadors destroyed empires that engaged in child sacrifice. It was a great day for South America when they made land

>>>>>Even Ronald Reagan fit the same category as Mitt Romney with the exception of gay rights.

BULL! Now you crossed the line. No good reason to post crap like that. Leave Reagan out of this equation. Perry is going to rise or fall on his own. He's running against Romney, NOT Reagan. You devalue your argument with this BS.

I've been calling Perry a Reagan conservative and he is. That is the argument you should be making. Not looking to take pot shots at Reagan to make Perry look better.

[vbmoneyspender]

Remind me again who was evil.

Aztec religion is one of the most widely documented pre-Hispanic cultures. Diego Durán in the Book of the Gods and Rites wrote about the religious practices devoted to the water gods, Tlaloc and Chalchiuhtlicue, and a very important part of their annual ritual included the sacrifice of infants and young children.

According to Bernardino de Sahagún, the Aztecs believed that, if sacrifices were not given to Tlaloc, the rain would not come and their crops would not grow. Tlaloc required the tears of the young so their tears would wet the earth. As a result, priests made children cry before the infanticidal ritual sacrifice, sometimes by tearing off their nails.[6]

Fernando de Alva Cortés Ixtlilxochitl, an Aztec descendant and the author of the Codex Ixtlilxochitl, claimed that one in five children of the Mexica subjects was killed annually. These high figures have not been confirmed by historians. Hernán Cortés describes an event in his Letters: “ And they would take their children to kill and sacrifice to their Idols.[7] ”

Archaeologists have found the remains of 42 children sacrificed to Tlaloc (and a few to Ehecátl Quetzalcóatl) in the offerings of the Great Pyramid of Tenochtitlan.[8]

In Xochimilco, the remains of a three-to-four-year-old boy were found. The skull was broken and the bones had an orange/yellowish cast, a vitreous texture, and porous and compacted tissue. Aztecs have been known to boil down remains of some sacrificed victims to remove the flesh and place the skull in the tzompantli. Archaeologists concluded that the skull was boiled and that it cracked due to the ebullition of the brain mass. Photographs of the skull have been published in specialized journals.[9]

The table below shows the festivals of the 18-month year of the Aztec calendar and the deities with which the festivals were associated. In History of the Things of New Spain Sahagún confesses he was aghast at the fact that, during the first month of the year, the child sacrifices were approved by their own parents, who also ate their children.[1]

Sorry, to offend you. Reagan was one of our greatest Presidents ever. And I do not believe anyone can stand in his shoes. However, the Brady bill was under Reagan along with tax increases. Reagan was a pro life President. However, on June 14, 1967, Ronald Reagan signed the Therapeutic Abortion Act, after only six months as California governor. He did this knowing it was veto proof. Those happen to be the facts of his record.

[Reagan Man]

You didn't offend me. YOU called Reagan a RINO and compared him to Romney. You just made yourself look like a jackass. Now you lie about Reagan and take pot shots at his legacy, all in an effort to make Perry look better.

First off, the Brady Bill was signed into law by Bill Clinton. There were no increases in federal income tax under Reagan. He lowered the top rates from 70% to 28%, the lowest rates in 50 years! The Therapeutic Abortion Act of 1967 was a bill meant to deal with difficult abortion cases. It was the California liberal medical community who let the genie out of the bottle, abusing the bills original intent and turning it into a 100% abortion on demand legislation.

Perry is on the ropes and you do not help his effort lying about Reagan's record and comparing him to Romney. Do you understand that?
