[Gov. Rick] Perry enjoys envied record as a fundraiser

nah dude, forced vaccinations for stds isn’t bad because it’s like Romney. It’s just bad.

When you read “forced vaccinations”

do you the global elite like this, love this? Or do you think the global elite hate this, detest this?

And then 3 months after he signed this executive order - no legislature needed for ol Rick - he’s in Turkey with the Bilderbergers.

Nothing that a Rove candidate says can be trusted. So, yeah, hes got a more appealing script than Romney.

But Perry is Bilderberg. And Romney is merely a terrible RINO. There might be some sort of Mormon conspiracy plot, but I haven’t heard of it. If there is, hopefully its not really crazy, even so, it probably conflicts with the Bilderberg plan, which is known to be bad. You’ll get polygamy and gay marriage. Ban on tobacco, doubling the war on drugs, basically trying to ban everything that Mormons don’t like.

Romney’s background is in buying companies, getting paid to run them, then tearing them apart and selling the pieces. Which if you watch what seems to be happening in Idaho, is really not the way to go. There are plenty of people that would rather save the banking system than US Sovereignty.
We owe you money China? You don’t want to let us borrow anymore? You want to buy half of Idaho and have Chinese law in there? Sure. NO WAY. Giving our country to the Chinese. Is our government entirely run by Communists?
WTF is happening?

Personally, I’d like an America First Foreign Policy.
Preserve US Sovereignty. For all the terrible things Ron Paul is said to be on foreign policy, he would never give up US Sovereignty.

He would fix the banking system so that we don’t have to do anything like that.

why even ask Perry vs Obama?

I’ll take Pawlenty over Perry
I’ll take Gingrich over Perry
I’ll take Santorum over Perry
I might even take Huntsman or Romney over Perry.

My first choices are all tea party.

And Perry is not tea party.

Tea Party does not like the globalist elite. He’s going straight from the Bilderberg playbook. And we know we don’t want that. Above all, we don’t want that. We want to put obstacles in Bilderbergs way. Most certainly, tea party conservatives do not embrace, at all, any New World Order stuff.

Also, Karl Rove switched Rick Perry from Democrat to Republican, and ran his first campaign as a Republican, for Agriculture Commissioner.

Karl Rove is not tea party. Karl Rove attacks tea party. See: Christine O’Donnell.

Karl Rove is an expert in Fake Conservatives.

Karl Rove is smart enough to try to remove his stench from Rick Perry by fake feuds.

Hi! Thought you might like to see this, as the anti-Perry posters like to make the false "Rove-Perry are twins" argument.

["Perry was part of the "Pit Bulls", a group of Appropriations members who sat on the lower dais in the committee room (or "pit") who pushed for austere [Texas] state budgets during the 1980s."] Source

Karl Rove claims Rick Perry as his candidate in Perry's FIRST campaign for the Texas Agriculture Commission. [From what I’ve found this was their only collaboration]

Perry was a Texas Democrat (not a liberal Democrat). He switched to the Republican Party in 1989. In 1990 Perry won the election (against Jim Hightower) to head the Agricultural Committee (a post Perry was well suited for as having come from a cotton farming family -- raised and worked the land -- and had a degree in Animal Science from Texas A&M). He was reelected in 1994 to that office in a landslide (62%). He did not seek reelection for a 3rd term and ran for Lt. Gov of Texas (1998), winning in a 3 way race, in a hard fought campaign against John Sharp (D).

["Perry thus became the state's first Republican lieutenant governor since Reconstruction, taking office on January 19, 1999 until his ascension to the governorship on December 21, 2000 upon the resignation of then-Governor George W. Bush."] Source

In that 1998 campaign year, the G.W. Bush camp (which included Karl Rove) was campaigning for W's reelection for Texas Gov (1st elected in 1994) and was at odds with Rick Perry's hard nosed campaign against John Sharp for Lt. Gov. Karl Rove told Perry to soft peddle to lift Bush's numbers in minority groups, Perry refused. Bush won reelection as Texas Governor. Perry won office as Lt. Gov. (arguably a stronger office than TX governor).

["Bush won by 1.4 million votes, Perry by fewer than 70,000. There were harsh words afterward; Rove and Dave Carney, a top Perry strategist, now are bitter foes."] Source

Then there was this in the TX Monthly about the 2010 governor's race:

October 2009: “....It would not be surprising to find that Karl Rove had a hand in this somewhere. The Bushies are definitely in the Hutchison camp, and there is no love lost between them and the Perry camp. The tension (according to Perry team members whom I interviewed on this subject last year) dates all the way back to Perry’s race for lieutenant governor in 1998, when Rove insisted that Perry stick with a positive message even while he was being pounded by John Sharp. Meanwhile, in the view of the Perry camp, Rove was trying to turn out Hispanic Democrats who would vote for Bush, even though that meant they were likely to switch back to the D column to vote for Sharp. The Perry team decided that they had to fight back, Rove or no Rove, and they went rogue, going after Sharp hard. It worked.

...If that animosity weren’t enough, after Bush was named the winner in December 2000, Perry was insistent that the president-elect vacate the governor’s mansion so that Perry could move in, notwithstanding that Bush wanted to stay a day or two longer before leaving for Washington. I heard that firsthand from the Bushies at the time....” -- Texas Monthly

Basically, in the 2010 GOP primary in TX for the governor's office, Sen. Kay Bailey Hutichison was hoping to come home to Texas as Governor. Her election was being backed by the Bush family and all their power players were lined up against Gov. Rick Perry, with Karl Rove serving as Sen Hutchison's adviser against Perry. Source

Rick Perry won a 3rd term as Governor of Texas in 2010.
