“PROVEN LEADERSHIP” – PERRY’S NEW AD: Rick Perry’s campaign is launching an epic new bio spot today. The first 40 seconds attack “PRESIDENT ZERO,” juxtaposing eerie images of national stagnation with footage of Barack Obama taking responsibility for the economy. A tornado siren playing over the president’s voice creates a palpable sense of alarm. The last minute of the web ad introduces Perry as a job creator and veteran who believes America’s best days are ahead, rotating sunny images of the country at its best with footage from the Texas governor’s announcement speech. Lucas Baiano, who produced the spot, has signed on with Perry after working for Tim Pawlenty. Watch it: HERE.

No. I noticed this matter while reading the thread, no one mashed abuse on you, there is no conspiracy, that is all in the log for this thread.
I have seen numerous examples of falsehoods stated and yet they stand unchallenged and unremoved
Like I said, we have to either notice them or be informed of them. If that happens and the claim is not proveable, we remove it.
If one isn’t safe to vigorously challenge a candidate’s fake or questionable Conservative credentials on a Conservative website, I find that quite chilling.
Like I said, you are free to express this particular viewpoint as an opinion. It is odd that you demand the right to present something unproveable as fact when it is indeed your opinion.
I’d like JimRob’s take on this, as it is his website, because I believe this is unfair and arbitrary.
This exchange has been logged, he will see it. This is not being done arbitrarily or in the dark. And it has nothing to do with the candidate in question.
-——Stop wasting my time-——
I heard from a feed salesman about his trip to a hog farm.
The farmer was shucking ears of corn and placing them one at a time in the trough where there was a scramble to gobble the ear.
The salesman watched this and sensing the opportunity for a sale asked “Wouldn’t save time and money to empty bags of my feed into the trough”
The farmer replied “What’s time to a hog?”
First, Rick Perry was not Al Gore’s campaign manager or chairman. He endorsed Gore. He did not chair his campaign.
Second, in 1988 Gore was pro-life, pro-guns, pro-defense, and anti-homosexual. His 1988 presidential campaign was the last pro-life Democratic campaign.

Third, Perry is on record as saying he voted for Reagan, twice.

That ad is GREAT!
I want to see him start doing ads where he just plain talks to the American People.
Bump
Brilliant, powerful ad! Using Obama’s own words contrasted with his results. I’ve been dying to see the Pubs come up with a whole series of ads like this one. And I’ll have to say, this ad exceeds my expectations in terms of its emotional power. This ad really brings home the perfidy of 0bama in a powerfully emotional way. Ads like these have just got to be absolutely devastating to 0bama and the bogus image of him created by the Marxist media. I hope Perry keeps it up with hard-hitting ads like this one.
Another good thing is that this ad indicates Perry has already chosen to run against 0bama and not his primary opponents. That’s the correct strategy too. Perry rises above the fray, looks like a winner, looks like a leader, doesn’t attack friends, and immediately focuses all of his energy like a laser beam on his real enemy: Comrade 0bama.
How droll. The problem in these interminable threads is sophists intent on conflating and misconstruing 'rationality' with 'rationalization'...
The same person I’ve supported since 2008. The person who the overwhelming number of people here support.
Thank you.
I had not seen that last link before.
I’ll await JimRob’s decision.
Oh My! He’s got it all: charisma AND gravitas! (Two words that used to be greatly overused, but they DO apply to Gov. Perry. What a contrast to the poseur who is currently soiling The People’s House.
Great. There’s more revisionist history and lies in those claims than you can shake a stick at. I’ll tell you one thing, though, don’t you dare hoodwink this Tennessean by claiming Gore was a Conservative in 1988. Go look at his ACU record. Whatever claims to moderation were ejected BEFORE he ran for President. Indeed, he LIED like a certain other candidate to our faces about what stances he took even as his voting record betrayed him. You Perrybots have absolutely not one ounce of shame in rewriting the history of your candidate and of reality.
Great ad. Now let’s see if it turns up anyplace except YouTube.
LOL!!
We’ll see.
I’m not a Perrybot. I’m just tired of the misinformation and outright lies that some of you perpetuate on these threads.
Gore was conservative by liberal standards not conservative standards. And the ACU rating you keep touting doesn’t represent what you portray it as representing. The 1988 ACU rating is based only on the votes Gore made in 1988 that came before the legislature. It wasn’t a lifetime rating. He had an 84% pro-life rating by pro-life groups back then.
Gore is and always has been a liar. He does what is in his political interest. And in 1988, it was in his political interest to portray himself as a conservative Southern Democrat.
So go back to 1988.
Perry was part of the Democratic Party and trying to find leadership roles.
Gary Hart drops out. Who is left to support?
Michael Dukakis
Jesse Jackson
Dick Gephardt
Paul Simon
or one of several others with little chance for success.
Zell Miller, another conservative democrat, saw the options the same way Perry did. He certainly was one of the more conservative democrats. As did several others.

I appreciate your efforts - you raise some excellent points in your comments. There is another related issue which I am surprised has not been raised in these discussions: the number of American killed each year by illegal aliens/immigrants.
I don't know what the current figures are, but back in 2006 when the political establishment, i.e. Dems, GOP, the media, all of them were pushing "comprehensive immigration reform", the number was 6000-8000 deaths per year, from causes ranging from drug gang turf wars, to regular murders for money, to deaths by illegal drunk drivers.
The point was made that illegals in this country killed more people each year than we had lost total in 9/11 or the Iraq/Afghanistan wars. The war totals have of course increased since then, but I believe the comparison would still be close.
It's also interesting to note that during that period when we were seeing frequent news stories of people and families killed by drunk illegal drivers, the media was also reporting the daily death count totals in the wars. Both types of news stories have largely disappeared for some reason.
The misinformation is being spread by you guys. The revisionist history about Gore, the votes, the claims. All to save face for Perry. You guys move like trained circus animals for him. That’s the kind of crap I expect from Democrats. Perry certainly ain’t moved far from his “roots.”
