Perry thinks he's the Burger King.

He's not even the Dairy Queen.

And you're right, most Texans are drunk with unwarranted self-importance.

(Kind of like Obama, now that you mention it.)

Cheers!

Rove is furious about Palin’s current surge in his private polls, and the Bushies want lots of weak candidates so Obama will win, and leave 2016 for Jeb.

"I liked what Perry said about health care."

Yeah, that's just it. Slick Rick does a lot of TALKING. According to the Washington Post:

"Twenty-six percent of Texans have no health insurance — the highest percentage of medically uninsured residents of any state. It leads the nation in the percentage of children who lack medical insurance. Texas has an inordinate number of employers who provide no insurance to their workers, partly because insurance rates are high, thanks to an absence of regulations."

Rick Perry has very little room to criticize Obama. Perry thinks that Texans should be paying for health benefits for Mexicans who live in Mexico. The bottom line is that he believes in uniting with Mexico. He's a Bilderberger boy. They want to merge the U.S. with Mexico and Canada. Slick Rick flips and flops. I wonder what his position is today and if it will change tomorrow. The man can NOT be trusted. This is from his website. http://governor.state.tx.us/news/speech/10688/

Here's what Slick Rick said: “Legislation authored by border legislators Pat Haggerty and Eddie Lucio establishes an important study that will look at the feasibility of bi-national health insurance. This study recognizes that the Mexican and U.S. sides of the border compose one region, and we must address health care problems throughout that region. That’s why I am also excited that Texas Secretary of State Henry Cuellar is working on an initiative that could extend the benefits of telemedicine to individuals living on the Mexican side of the border”.

No .. Rove is begging for Palin to get in so as to split the anti-Romney vote .. like it or not that’s the truth .

Rove wears his ambitions on his sleeve and he has a sparkle in his eye when he talks about Palin now ... hint: it’s not because he likes her ...

The Washington Post, which never passes up an opportunity to attack Sarah Palin, has gone after her for criticizing President Barack Obama after almost every sentence and I doubt they're going to have anything good to say about Rick Perry either or Michelle Bachmann for that matter. The Washington Post is far from having credibility in my book they are the NY Times of DC.

The Washington Post is very PRO-OBAMACARE. Of course they are going to write bad things about private sector health insurance.

but neither is he ‘innately’ conservative, I’m sorry to say. He’s very much... a politician.

That's what I've been pointing out on several threads, as well. Rick Perry is not a "conservative"...he is a "conservative politicians".

The distinction between the noun and the adjective is important.

But color them unenthused. Whether it was the Trans-TX Corridor or the weakness on border issues or whatever, there’s always something that Perry did that grates on them, and leaves them rather indifferent towards him.

Perry has now been governor for, what, eleven years? Show me any governor who's been in office for that length of time and I'll show you a governor who has pissed off a sizable minority of his base.

Even the best governors are going to make a certain number of mistakes per term. Given three terms, the mistakes add up.

oh baloney! So he “accidentally” took donations from Merck while *wink* mandating a vaccine that Merck made.? He “mistakenly” said he was pro-open border? Funny. He seems to have doubled down and dug his heels in on protecting illegals in this country....

To: television is just wrong

(Note: Close to the Mexican Border and low wages for those who cross the border to work these companies. Thus Perry gets’s the revenues from big business opening in his state, while providing cheap labor from across the Border...and folks wonder why he’ll never close the border.)

PROGRAM MAKES US ENTRY SMOOTHER FOR THOSE WILLING TO INVEST-—fOREIGN INVESTORS RELOCATING TO SOUTHERN TEXAS REGION:

EDINBURG, Texas, May 12, 2011 PRNewswire

— Foreign investors are flocking to a booming region along the US/Mexico border known as Rio South Texas. .... the region exploded in population and economic growth following the passage of the North American Free Trade Agreement in the early 1990s..... In 1990, the US Government started the EB-5 program (Employment-Based Immigration: Fifth Preference) to attract foreign investment and to create more jobs.

With the major manufacturing cities of Monterrey, Matamoros, Rio Bravo and Reynosa, Mexico, across the Rio Grande from Rio South Texas,... investors are discovering and creating business opportunities in this new market region.

The USA NOW Regional Center, located in McAllen Texas, is a newly-designated ‘government entity’ designed to assist investors through the process of obtaining a Visa through the EB-5 program.

A recent ‘influx of foreign investors’ created an increased demand for projects with investment opportunity. USA NOW, LLC handles residency and immigration logistics for investors, and has now partnered with Rio South Texas Economic Council (RSTEC) to assist in identifying sites and properties for their investors.

Some investors already own businesses. Some would like to start one and are in a position to do so, and that is where the USA NOW partnership with RSTEC will be of the most help.

“Our partnership with Rio South Texas Economic Council fits like a glove,” said Marco Ramirez, President of USA NOW, LLC. “RSTEC is in the business of creating jobs and attracting new capital investment; we have manufacturers interested in the area. RSTEC is unbiased in selecting sites, presenting the best of the entire region, and that’s what we need.”

Demonstrating that one person's "mistake" is another person's "earth-shaking calamity".

Y'know, I'm not a Perry supporter. I was simply attempting to lend a little dimension to another FReeper's observation.

Evidently, it got your panties in a wad. And I really don't care.
