Well, sheeesh, I’m very sorry you took my post to you in a manner I didn’t intend! That’s the trouble I sometimes have with written word.

No question that he has a lot more experience that Governor Palin.

Governor Perry is a 27 year career politician!

Be well!

The McCain/Palin ticket was up ++8 pts. days prior to September 18th, 2008.

Then the stock market imploded, this had a far greater negative impact than anything Romney's people did IMHO.

[Arec Barrwin]

It’s forgivable. And he’s going to win. Romney is too liberal. Bachmann isn’t a credible candidate. And Palin isn’t running.

So face it - you’ll be voting for Perry in 15 months, so get on the Perry express now.

[Diogenesis]

Changing the subject for Captain Gardasil,
or to obfuscate RINO Perry’s
love for Islam or open borders?

[Lakeshark]

I've not rejected him yet, but I will if he continues to pander to La Raza, or if he is too wishy washy on this issue.

No one is going to be as bad as Bambi on this issue, but I want someone who has expressed a serious desire to solve this illegal immigration crisis, stopping the influx of illegals in their tracks.

If Perry (or any other candidate) does not show a willingness to defend our borders, he will disappoint us as much as Bush did, and right now I don't want that, simply can't handle that.

Until he proves otherwise, I'll support someone else, particularly Palin if she runs.

There are a number of states that did a tad more on tort reform several decades back. Governor Otis Bowen of Indiana (elected in 1973 and again in 1981) brought in substantive tort and malpractice insurance reform which has been very successful. The top 5 states in terms of MEDICAL INDUSTRY are CA, TX, NY and FL. Indiana, with a fraction of the population of any of those states is #5.

That's 38 years ago ~ the issues been around a long time ~ interesting that Texas is only now cleaning up the mess, but keep at it.

This isn’t even a Palin thread , but i’ll entertain your Perry attack .
Why did she quit ?

First of all she isn’t going to run, and if i’m wrong and she does run , people are not going to put money behind someone who quits when the going gets a little tough .

[muawiyah]

You cannot get me to vote for a Democrat.

I don't worry so much about whether he will look or sound like George Bush, but I am seriously worried about Perry's seeming weakness on illegal immigration. He's flirted with La Raza, shown the propensity to be an open borders guy, said he didn't like the new AZ law, and is way too close to Bush's angle on illegals for my comfort zone.
I don't just want a good candidate, I want a president I can trust in this fragile time.

Excellent post, Sharky! Are you reading my mind and much better expressing my thoughts and concerns? LOL.

Illegal immigration is a huge issue and Governor Perry's positions and record are worrisome, and he reminds me of President Bush. My mimd remains open and we have not yet begun the marathon primary season.

"Hold yer horsies" is my advice. Learn everything we can about all the candidates, partiulary the ones in the so-called lead! Let's see how it all shakes out.

We must have our Victory in 2012 and that means our TEA PARTY VICTORY!

Frankly, I watched the last debate...trying to picture each candidate on the stage with The Won. It scared me silly. There is no way I think Perry is perfect...but I can see him messing with O’s mind in a big way.

My first goal this election season...retain the House and gain the Senate.

My second goal...make O look like the idiot he is.

If you think for one minute that Rick Perry is not aware of the dangers of Islam in America, you are sadly mistaken.

Why are you picking on him?

What have the other canidates and prospective candidates done/said against Islam??

NEWSFLASH: they won't say/do anything. If they did, they know what a sh*t storm it would bring down on them!

One of them finally got the guts to go up against Islam. That was Herman Cain. After the sh*t storm desended on him, Cain appologized for his remarks about not hiring Muslims) That is the sad state of affairs re; Islam in America.

The main thing here is to get this POS Muslim/Marxist's sorry a$$ kicked out of our White House before he finishes destroying America. This election will be about growing jobs and the economy. Rick Perry is the only one with an excellent, solid record in this area- and is tough enough to go up against Obama.

Here’s another hint, now I’m getting really worried, openborders R2D2 is at it again, I just can’t believe he said this: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2766637/posts

[patriot08]

Personal pronoun “I” is capitalized.
To not do so is distracting.

[Lakeshark]

Your third goal (if you should choose to take this mission), help elect a president who has good character and instincts.

Apologies for the Mission Impossible stuff.......

[onyx]

He is full-out pandering.

Dear Lord.

[patriot08]

correction; should read ‘apologized’

[South40]

lol!

[Neu Pragmatist]

i am glad i have that effect on you ... not to be confused with affect ... let’s move on , shall we ?

[LA Woman3]

Frankly, I watched the last debate...trying to picture each candidate on the stage with The Won. It scared me silly. There is no way I think Perry is perfect...but I can see him messing with O’s mind in a big way.

Exactly!! Our ultimate goal is to defeat Obama!! This election is for the survival of America as we know it!

[South40]

so WHY the blinders for Perry ?
and why do you attack fellow conservatives,
who have honest questions about someone who is a pro-
Amnesty big goverment politician, who C.A.I.R. supported!

Good questions. Anyone not carrying water for RINO Rick is attacked. So be it. I'd rather be attacked for defending conservatism than be attacked for supporting RINO Rick.
