Your opinion doesn’t mean much.

***********************************

Let me guess.. you were in the debate club in high school? It's clear you're experienced in presenting and defending a compelling argument.

The imgage Miss M has drawn........ of Ricky as the unearthly Manchurian Candidate and Mrs P as the scheming, manipulative matriarch.....is SO on target.

Hmmmmm.....Ricky’s candidacy has more dimensions than a Rubic Qube. He’s been setting up America a long long time.....his helping hand to Islam, La Raza, Mexico take on a more sinister aura.

Appears Anita herself is planning an active role in a putative Perry WH.

Somebody in the Christian-hating media should ask Ricky about that.

Politics are nasty under the best of conditions...but this election certainly operates within a very distressed and unstable time and we’re all being affected as we see our country disintegrate before us.

This then plays out on the threads I think....further the selection isn’t the best of the best, which could have been. But really who wants to pick up Obamas mess??? Not to mention ride the helm as we see the ultimate affect of his policies play out AFTER he leaves.

I too get annoyed with the posters but accept that we differ on who we desire as Pres. and the slamming etc. just goes with....unfortunately.

Yes much of what’s happening is a media /demorat push to position Romney....but I am of the mind Perry and Romney are both sewn from the same cloth... and neither has the interests of our country in mind, rather their own agendas.

I am favoring Newt at this time becuase he has nothing to loose by giving his all..... he knows what to do and how to navigate washington barriers...He’s the same age as Reagan when he took office and doesn’t need to consider what his decisions will do to a future political career....this is the IT for Newt or not. And he is all for our country. Not to mention he’d cream Obama in a debate.

As for my knocking Texans...well yes...those who have supported Perrys continueous policies and voting him in year after year.. Texans who voted Perry have enabled the mess on the border by re-electing him time and again. Though I understand this last election he would not have won had Palin not stepped up to support him. Which evidences Texans are coming around.

Thanks for clarifying that you are all about preventing Romney getting in office.....that makes a strong statement to me and I can appreciate that.

Truce then Allegra....

Your post appears to have been made with good intentions (with a dash of unnecessary condescension), so I'll try to address you with respect.

Yes much of what’s happening is a media /demorat push to position Romney....but I am of the mind Perry and Romney are both sewn from the same cloth... and neither has the interests of our country in mind, rather their own agendas.

Perry is far from perfect, but he is much more conservative than Romney has ever been. The two have almost nothing in common really. Read up on how each one stands on the various issues.

I am favoring Newt at this time becuase he has nothing to loose by giving his all..... he knows what to do and how to navigate washington barriers...He’s the same age as Reagan when he took office and doesn’t need to consider what his decisions will do to a future political career....this is the IT for Newt or not. And he is all for our country. Not to mention he’d cream Obama in a debate.

Debate performance is not a strong indicator of the right leadership, but Newt certainly does come across well in the media-controlled circuses that are merely soundbite generators. (Those are not debates.) I recommend having more than one candidate you can accept in this phase of the election. These people who are giving their all for one candidate are the ones exhibiting the worst behavior. Some of the Sarah Palin supporters were practically suicidal after she made her announcement she wasn't going to run, for crying out loud. People should not be investing so much in mere mortals and they look somewhat deranged when they do so.

I too get annoyed with the posters but accept that we differ on who we desire as Pres. and the slamming etc. just goes with....unfortunately.

It's unnecessary, but it appears there are quite a few on here who lack the maturity to recognize that we should all be on the same side and that our objective is to get Obama out of the White House and prevent the media from selecting our candidate.

As for my knocking Texans...well yes...those who have supported Perrys continueous policies and voting him in year after year.. Texans who voted Perry have enabled the mess on the border by re-electing him time and again. Though I understand this last election he would not have won had Palin not stepped up to support him. Which evidences Texans are coming around.

You are aware that protection of the borders is a federal responsibility, are you not? You are aware that Governor Perry has approached the Feds on several occasions about this with no real response and has ended up using Texas money to guard the borders, right?

You gripe about us re-electing Perry. Have you informed yourself about the people who have run against him? Please do so. While most of us have opposed some of the things the governor has done, I'd still rather have him in there than that awful Bill White or the RINO Kay Bailey Hutchison. And we don't elect Paultard truthers like Medina around here, either. Perry would have won with or without Governor Palin's endorsement, but he was glad to have it.

If Yankees want to knock us for whatever reasons they fabricate, go ahead. If it takes that sort of behavior to make you feel good about yourself, then knock yourself out. We Texans know who we are and you only diminish yourselves when you behave in such a manner. We *will* call you on it, though. Bad behavior should never go unchallenged.

I suggest you approach this more objectively and do some research on your own. You may come up with a different perspective.

You're too good to wallow in the nasty, narrow-minded, juvenile mud with people like that Liz and miss marmelstein. They are a derided laughingstock in some circles on FR; don't stoop to their level. (I'm not even going to courtesy ping them here because I have no respect for them whatsoever. If you want to, that's fine.)

Take care and have a nice day.

So you at last reveal your true colors! Trashing the Tea Party folks gives us a big clue on your character. You are friend of no Republican candidate ... except perhaps a stunt Mormon.

If having a brainiac trying to devolve the destruction barry bassturd and his socialist/commie/anti-American administration has wrought is what we need, then I would agree Newt is the best choice for the four years of disaster awaiting whomever becomes President after the little alinskyesque bassturd is gone. Sadly, purity mindset will prevent Newt rising any further in the polls than third.

I do understand your positions. BTW I don’t ping people generally..no ping list here.

You may be right Perry is a bit more conservative than Romney...but they are both Rhinos IMO. And I believe Perry will sell this nation out to the Globalist agenda....seeing it as a he did Texas, a means to sustain the state economically regardless of the influx of illegals, worldwide for that matter. And so will Romney.

Palin calls it as it is and I had no problem supporting her....though I had some reservations about her. Same with Newt and Bachman. I don’t believe in perfection in a candidate nor do I care to make an idol of them. Though admittedly when 9/11 hit I was a great fan of our administration then and grateful they were a force to be reaconed with. A line had been majorly crossed and I was glad we had a “Cowboy” at the helm.

I do think when it comes down to the wire most will vote against Obamma no matter who gets the primary vote. But I also believe the ride thereafter is going to be rough for us all...including politicians.

I have done research on Perry and Texas and concluded I don’t like what I saw. It scares me to imagine the nation would go as Texas...and yes I do relaize fully the reponsibility for the border is the Gov.s job....but Perry’s policies work against that....as evidenced now that things are so completely out of hand there.

You gotta plug the hole on a sinking ship at the same time you’re bailing out the water when the force is as strong as it is on the border..... and Perry’s unwilling to do that. If he gets the Presidency we can be sure there will be action taken on the border of the same type we’ve see thus far...and it’s not working. You put troops there, as before, it will just hold out until they’re gone, without closing the border it’s never going to stop.

That's classic media hyperbole. Things are not "completely out of hand" here.

In fact, I've been home for four months now and have traveled some around the US. I just got home from NYC this week, for example.

We have it better here and are weathering Obama's destructive policies better than any other place I have seen. Seriously, be very wary of believing the media's BS.

We despise illegal immigration here, but let's get real - it's not something that started when Perry became governor.

Which policies of Perry's work against the fact that the federal government is not doing its job as far as border protection? The policy of using our own state dollars to put patrols on the border? Just curious....I wasn't clear on what you meant there.

Might be so....but I have a wait and see attitude because as things continue to be escalating in civil unrest and all the other crap playing out people tend to lean toward someone who is "stable"....the national climate is not the same as when Obama ran as Mr. Popularity in an American Idol contest.

The nations people really had no clue then what had just occurred with the economic crisis, nor the fallout from that as it wouldn't be seen for months after. They simply were still in the Hollywood idol mode.

I'm not so sure now that will be the case in this election. I'm willing to give the public time to see not only who knows WHAT to do but equally HOW how to get it thru the Washington maze. Clearly there will be no time for a learning curve for whoever takes the reins.......Newt doesn't need that time and can hit the ground running. He could get much done if even for a four year term.

Yes, I may be giving the public to much credit for having a mind willing to see what's at risk rather than just who is the flavor of the month in these candidates. Time will tell if they are still in the Mr. Popularity Mode or not when it really comes down to the wire.

Perry's cowtowing to the illegals creates a magnet for more to come in...for one thing...and the numerous welfare rolls evidences this, anchor babies, and his plans to educate those who come in...all draw illegals across the border...along with his cheap labor magnet to companies to go there, both domestic and foreign. And it's the foreign companies he's cowtowing to that irks the daylights out of me!

If the border had been actively closed as much as possible long ago the people would have eventually rebelled against their leadership in Mexico....but as long as Texas Governors align with Mexicos corrupt government, who have every intention of continuing the vast revenues coming to Mexico from the US....things are just not going to change. It's too weasy for Mexicans to just walk over the border for a better life rather than fix their own nation.

As for the Government handling the border...that's certainly not going to happen under Obama...and for that matter any who have signed onto the Globalist agenda. That was and remains a very sore spot I have against Bush and others. But as long as Obama is in charge Texas has no choice but to use their own monies, along with the annual millions the government already sends for border issues. He's not going to increase troops or anything more except in lip service. The border is out of control as long as the drug invested war continues and continues to seep into the states via Texas. But now there's the terrorist and others passin thru and for that our whole national security for all states just increases to be at risk.

IMO noboody in politics wants to DO anything about it but they all sing a tune about it.

When Ricky gets out of in line, and Anita gets out the cattle prod, you can bet there’ll be no (cough) Texas Miracles in the Goverrnor’s mansion that night.

You are displaying what has been called ‘the darkside of Freerepublic’. Are you proud of your nasty self, doing nothing positive just spewing drek on political discussion threads? Are you able to present the positives of the candidate you support, or are you only capable of nasty negative nuttery?

*** What about Newt’s new wife ? What is she, #5 ? ***

I know nothing about her except she works with her husband on policy issues or whatever he's been doing. But iirc she hasn't went whining to the MSM about the media and/or republicans 'brutalizing' her hubby. And that's been done 106 times to Newt, and by a good many FReepers as well. And I don't know what number wife she is and I don't care.

Take Billy-Jeff and Hillary (please) for instance. Are either of them of high moral character? Not exactly, right - and that is putting it mildly, yet they've stayed together all these years. So not getting divorced can't be a deciding factor on who or what people really are. Heck I'd wager 1/3rd of all FReepers have been divorced at least once (not me, marriage IS 'forever' - until death do us part).

But the POINT is what Anita Perry did, play the religion card. How dumb can she be. As the GEICO commercial asked: 'Do you live under a rock?' And him letting her do that is pretty low. Letting your wife fight your battles is something a Liberal would do.

Then again Perry is a Liberal when you get right down to do. As only a liberal would play the Racism and Bigot cards. AND also use the full force of the government to get little girls injected with a drug with zero concern of her parent's views or consent. Just 'Mandate It' and that's that because 'He Knows Better'.

Well, screw him and his loopy wife.
One moron and his crazy wife in the WH has been enough.

So he's getting punked, and not really by Romney. Their support bases are not the same people. He's lost all his support to a Cain artist playing economic three card monte to a bunch of stupid marks otherwise known as the late-great Tea Party.

You claiming that Tea Party members are stupid ranks right up there with a candidate's wife blaming both parties for "brutalizing" her husband over religion when she's clearly out of touch with reality.

Anita Perry: Husband Rick Perry "brutalized" by media, the GOP because of his faith

When Rick Perry gets treated by the media like Sudanese Christian children get treated by the Muslims in the north, then she can use a word like "brutalized." Whiner.

It calls his judgement into question. Welcoming a Chinese company with open arms last year is incredibly foolish when a few minutes on the internet would have revealed that US Senators were actively raising concerns about said company and our national security at that time, or that the Brits were raising national security concerns 4 years prior to that, or that said company was trying to rip off American companies 7 years before.

Could Perry or somebody on his staff not be bothered to spend 10 minutes researching a Chinese company that Perry was about to praise and welcome to Texas? Hell, 5 minutes would get you the stories about ripping off Cisco, about the Brits raising concerns, and about US Senators questioning their dealings with Iran, the Taliban, etc.

One would get the impression that either Perry is dumb as hell or he's surrounded by idiots. That last part may explain why his wife is freaking out in front of the cameras and trying to compare him to Moses and claiming that Democrats and Republicans are attacking because of religion - maybe he's got idiots on his staff who can't explain his falling numbers and just tossed "religion" out there to shut her up.
