Perry Blasts Obama, Notes Own Job-Creating Record

DES MOINES, Iowa — Texas Gov. Rick Perry warned during an appearance in Iowa that President Obama has driven the nation's economy into a ditch, arguing that his own record as governor qualifies him to lead the way out.

"Instead of eliminating our economic crisis, he worsened it," said Perry. "Instead of addressing the debt, he exploded it." Perry told nearly 400 activists that he's created 1 million jobs while governor of Texas, all during a stretch where the nation was losing 2.5 million jobs.

Perry said he'll take his record of cutting taxes and regulation to Washington and he said the Texas rebound proves that those efforts work.

Perry was joined at a county GOP picnic by fellow candidates, Reps. Ron Paul of Texas and Thaddeus McCotter of Michigan, but Perry was getting the bulk of the attention.

Perry singled out recent comments by former Iowa governor and current Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack's that food stamps were helping to bolster the economy by getting buying power into people's hands.

"Food stamps are not a solution, they are a symbol of the problem," said Perry. "Today's leaders see it differently."

Perry sought to drive the problem home, noting that Iowa has suffered as well under the Obama administration. "Today, one in eight Iowans is on food stamps," said Perry. "That is a testament to the widespread misery created by this administration." Perry has moved near the top of most polls only a couple of weeks after announcing his decision to run for the Republican nomination. He was making his second visit to Iowa, where precinct caucuses traditionally launch the nominating season, and he has made it clear he will compete for those caucuses ...

Perry is a NWO type and was a gore supporter. He’s a fraud.

was a gore supporter

Which Gore might that be?

The Al Gore that in a 1992 debate accused the first Bush of igonoring Saddam's ties to terrorism? Al Gore to Bush 41 (1992):

"There were repeated incidents of terrorism in which Iraq had a part, terrorists operating openly in Baghdad, and repeated warnings from our national security people telling the Bush administration that Saddam was on a crash program to develop nuclear weapons, chemical weapons, and other weapons of mass destruction."

I’m a sucker for this kind of talk. That’s why Perry can win.

Yeah, Perry's Bush's puppet and Karl Rove is behind them both 100%. I heard that on some radio show earlier after my normal program had ended. Don't listen to him but I think his name is Alex Jones. I don't buy any of that Bush was behind the toppling of the twin towers and conspiracies such as Bush, Perry and Karl Rove working together to win the 2012 election.

There's much more against that theory than supports it.

Any hard evidence or - perhaps - references and sources for your personal opinion?

I never said all of that but there is some truth to the conspiracies of the bush’s. Sr. openly called for a new world order numerous times. They are all a bunch of Grovians and NWO types.

How about the Gore who was prolife and took heat for being pro-Israel and objecting to Jesse Jackson’s call for a Palestinian state? http://diplomatdc.wordpress.com/2010/06/04/1988-when-al-gore-battled-the-liberal-democrats-by-gregory-hilton/

How about the dick, gore that was pro tobacco but when it became politically correct to blast tobacco, that’s just what that fraud did. And what about his family’s segregationist past?

Gore the prolife, pro-Israel, accusing Saddam Hussein of supporting terrorism and objecting to Jesse Jackson’s call for a Palestinian state... I guess I supported Al Gore on some issues too.

Is it ME that changed too?

Gore opened Perry’s eyes to what the Democrats and people like Gore really were. He realized that they were fraudulent sham artists and it was time to go to the real party for America, the Republican Party.
