The main problem I have with Bachmann is that I have never heard her speak to specifics. She gives a good speech, but so does Obama. When interviewed, she will go on and on and on without any specifics. This time around, we need those specifics and hold them to their views and/or promises.

Paul has been a big earmark guy. You are exactly right. A governor seeking goodies for his state is hardly remarkable. Noting it is rather a sign of fear and desperation.

The solution is to send fewer dollars into the sewer.

AMEN

I noticed that remark, and not coming from friendly territory.

Agree 100% but every time I say it here I get attacked-— some have even called me a Leftist or a 2008 Obama supporter, none of which are true... On this site I’d be careful admitting to anything less than a blind quasi-mastubatory obssession with Bachmann if I were you

I’ve been hearing this “nobody’s perfect” line a lot lately..mostly when Perry is discussed. Is that going to be his catch phrase? “vote for me because nobody is perfect and I am even less perfect then the rest???

So a lobbying firm was seeking money? That’s news? It sounds like they were doing their job. Congress’s job is to say “no”.

This is an old cartoon, so don't forget the "Pro-Communist Health Care" and "Anti-Communist Health Care" podiums:

Um no. RP was one of 3 Republicans to vote with Pelosi in support of earmarks.

Perry was at Shot Show in Vegas with Ted Nugent, hanging out by La Rue Tactical..I was at Shot Show (which is totally the awesomest display of firepower under one roof ever), but didn’t see them.

I was probably over at US Armament Corporation drooling on their replica 1877 Bulldog Gatling Gun.

Tom McClintock-CA does not request earmarks.

This guy just smacks of Romney.

Yeah, wasn't Romney 100% pro-life and anti-homo mafia WHILE he was governor?

Supports constitutional amendments against abortion and for one-man, one-woman marriage amendments.

Opposes gay marriage, opposes special protection for homosexuals in workplace and housing, opposes the repeal of DADT

Pushed bill for ultrasounds before abortions and pro-life license plates

Didn't Romney grow up in poverty also? That's another thing they have in common - Perry was the son of tenant farmers.

Wasn't Romney 100% pro-gun WHILE he was governor?

"Card carrying" member of the NRA

Perry has a permit to carry a concealed firearm

Perry Signs Legislation Protecting Texas Workers’ Right to Self-Defense

NRA Endorses Perry in Governor's Race.

Rick Perry's speech at the NRA convention[/ur">

Perry carries a laser sighted .380 loaded with hollow points.

While jogging, Perry shoots and kills threatening coyote with one shot

Press: Are you packing heat? Perry: No comment, "that's why it's called 'concealed.'"

Supports campus concealed carry.

Doesn't Romney think global warming is a hoax - Perry does:

Perry rejects global warming - science skewed by financial interests.

Didn't Romney serve his country in the military? Perry did:

Perry spent 4 years active duty (not Reserve or Nat'l Guard) as an Airforce pilot.

Left Airforce with the rank of Captain

Was in the Corps of Cadets at Texas A&M

Opposes the repeal of "Don't Ask Don't Tell."

Lifetime member of the American Legion.

Perry’s latest, neatly timed spin of conservate rhetoric doesn’t match his long history of statist actions and his big spending record. Only a blind fool or a Perry shill believes otherwise.

Ron Paul has accepted earmarks for shrimp boats. This smacks at a campaign by 0bamatards to get Perry out of the race.

Actually, This smacks at a campaign by 0bamatards to get the CONSERVATIVE BASE to get Perry out of the race for them.

He must REALLY love earmarks, he refused millions in Obama education funds because of federal mandates
