Sarah Palin will not be our next President.

You have no clue what's coming, do you?

Nobody had heard of CFR-Rick before a month ago.

And he will fade into the sunset just as fast.

Palin is under attack and it's exposing her as a fraud.

Palin could never hope to be as big a fraud as CFR-Rick, no matter how hard she tried.

Really what we have is Palin the patriot, and Perry the bilderberger.

We already have too many bilderbergers.

***** “ I liked what Perry said about health care:”

“the best way for the federal government to improve healthcare is to stimulate job creation so more Americans are covered by employer-sponsored health plans. Creating jobs will also reduce the strain on public safety net programs like Medicaid, saving taxpayer dollars.”

If elected, he promised to repeal Obamacare calling it “a misguided, unconstitutional and unsustainable government takeover of our health care that will undermine patient quality, increase red tape and send costs skyrocketing for taxpayers, patients and healthcare providers.”

I have not heard many of the other GOP Candidates talk specifically about what they’d do like Rick Perry is doing. “ ******

BUMP!

That’s because you haven’t been listening.

Of course, 90% of what Perry says is usually false anyway. The part that’s true is the scary part.

Rick Perry has a very questionable record.

In 2001, Perry signed into law the very first Texas “Dream ACT.” It allowed the children of illegal immigrants to pay in-state tuition at any Texas university. Perry defended the Texas “Dream ACT,” saying, “To punish these young Texans for their parents' actions is not what America has always been about.”

Perry then jetted off to Mexico and bragged to the Mexicans that Texas passed this law, saying, “The message is simple, educacion es el futuro, y si se puede.” Education is the future, and yes we can.
Rick Perry’s immigration problem

In February 2007, Perry signed a shocking executive order forcing every sixth-grade girl to submit to a three-jab regimen of the Gardasil vaccine. He also forced state health officials to make the vaccine available "free" to girls ages 9 to 18. The drug, promoted by manufacturer Merck as an effective shield against the sexually transmitted human papillomavirus (HPV) and genital warts, as well as cervical cancer, had only been approved by the Food and Drug Administration eight months prior to Perry's edict.

Perry defenders pointed to a bogus "opt-out" provision in his mandate "to protect the right of parents to be the final authority on their children's health care." But requiring parents to seek the government's permission to keep an untested drug out of their kids' veins is a plain usurpation of their authority. Translation: Ask your bureaucratic overlord to determine if a Gardasil waiver is right for you.

Libertarians and social conservatives alike slammed Perry's reckless disregard for parental rights and individual liberty. The Republican-dominated legislature also balked. In May 2007, both chambers passed bills overturning the governor's unilaterally imposed health order.
Perry's vaccine order exposed lapse in political, policy judgments

“The Gardasil debacle is just one of many concerns a wide range of grass-roots conservative activists have about Perry’s record as governor. He’s soft on illegal immigration despite a few recent nods to border enforcement. He’s prone to crony capitalism. And as the vaccine mandate scandal shows, he demonstrated Nanny State tendencies that are anathema to Tea Party core principles.

Once again, the Perry campaign proves my point about the non-walkback-walkback. If Perry “erred on the side of life,” what his campaign continues to suggest is that those who opposed his Gardasil mandate from the beginning chose death. Instead of renouncing the human shield demagoguery he engaged it after the repeal, the Perry campaign has doubled-down. There is nothing — nothing — Tea Party about this.

The Gardasil debacle is a useful red flag on Perry’s basic political instincts, judgment, core values, and trust. It is no surprise — given his ties to Merck — that Perry is a consummate practitioner of corporate welfare “public-private partnerships.
Plumbing the rest of the Perry record

Perry’s campaign website lists the Trans-Texas Corridor as one of his accomplishments. But is it something Perry really wants broadcast as an achievement? The Texas Republican Party’s 2010 platform includes a plank specifically opposing the Trans-Texas Corridor.
Rick Perry's NAFTA Superhighway Problem

"I think there is a path to citizenship for those young men and women ILLEGAL ALIENS who have served their country," Perry said.

THEIR COUNTRY?! Perry thinks America is THEIR COUNTRY?!
Perry wants to give ILLEGAL aliens citizenship

VIDEO Perry compares Giuliani to Reagan

VIDEO: Perry thanked by Vicente Fox for illegals in-state tuition

Rick Perry has a very questionable past. But one thing is not in question and that is Rick Perry is NOT conservative!

To: magna carta

I guess it depends on what you mean by enforcement. Conservopedia says: “In addition to major cities, such as New York City, Los Angeles, and Chicago, a few states have adopted sanctuary policies, including Alaska and Oregon.” http://conservapedia.com/Sanctuary_City_(Immigration)

That doesn’t appear overly tough on enforcement to me, but what do I know? I do not remember reading or hearing anything about her fighting to overturn that policy. I do not remember Gov. Palin ever saying much about immigration onw way or the other but I do remember her saying she was against amnesty but for a “path to citizenship” during the 2008 campaign. I do not know if she said that because she adopted McCain’s position for the campaign or if it was her own view also. I do not follow her as closely as others so she may have said something else pertaining to illegal immigration since 2008 that I am unaware of.

>> “perry is a sell out to the pharmeceuticals.” <<

Of course, he’s G W Bush II.

Texans thought that W deserved a third term, so Perry is their answer.

Remember how the first thing W wanted to do was a prescription poison plan?

Well, under Perry (and I do mean under) it will be mandatory!

No little Normy the greenie, all you’ve done is demonstrate why she’s the dominant candidate.

You PDS trolls are great comic relief.
