Perryphobia

>>HooRay for the Tea Party and Rick Perry.

Perry can drink as much Tea as he wants. Riding those coat-tails won’t change the fact that his REAL political trail has big puddles of RINO pi$$ from start to finish.

Maybe Mistah Rick should’a invested in (D)epends instead of all that Grecian Formula.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

The Democrats feigning fear of CFR-Rick is like Bre'r Rabbit crying "Don't throw me in that briar patch."

[gov_bean_ counter]

Perry looked into the camera and lied to the people of Texas about his intentions. Now he is running for president on their dime. Meanwhile Mrs. Perry is living large a little while longer.

When the Clinton's behaved like this we called them grifters.

One thing that baffles me about characters like you is that you insinuate yourself into conversations where you’re obviously unwelcome.

All you’ll get for your trouble is dislike and disrespect, and even ridicule. No one will see things your way, you’re too hyperbolic and offensive.

Why inflict yourself with such negative feedback? Does it give you pleasure? Honestly, I’m serious, why do it, do you enjoy torturing yourself? Is self-flagellation your thing?

[Grunthor]

F off dip s**t

No one has fear of Perry, just abhorrence of his socialist tendencies as governor.

[Sudetenland]

You forgot Pataki and Giuliani. Pataki has said no--I don't know about Rudy, I haven't heard the final word on him yet. The Beltway Republicans are desperate to stop a conservative from winning the nomination. Remember, they live their entire lives in fear; they're afraid of the press and what they might say, they're afraid of being seen as "unsophisticated" which is why they were so uncomfortable with Bush and so accommodating of Obama ("at last we have someone who speaks properly" as long as he has a teleprompter handy) , and they fear "the great unwashed masses" who live in fly-over America (in fact they hold us in great disdain).

The fact that another not educated in an ivy-league school candidate might become the next President mortifies them far more than any avowed Marxist might do so.

They are, in general, a pathetic lot.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

You can’t handle the truth.

[shield]

Right...his record in no way proves your statement.

[smoothsailing]

You can’t handle the truth.

Your tagline suggests projection on your part. Handle that.

[trisham]

“You can’t handle the truth.”

One of the best in movie history:

The Mexican govt and La Raza are sending hordes of illegals to defend Rick.

Heck, Senor Perrynista might even get another monogrammed serape (/snix).

Senor El Perrynista receives a serape from Mexican Gov Enrique Martinez
of Coahuila, as a token of appreciation for enacting the Texican Dream Act.

============================================

"Captain Gardasil" addresses La Raza.

"Come on down. You get one in the rear and in-state tuition at any Texas college."

[Oceander]

It really is just that simple. As Dame Thatcher said in similar circumstances, there is no alternative.

You're either for one or the other; stated differently in this parlous time, if you're against one, you must be for the other.

I have RINOphobia.

I fear what they are doing to our free republic.

But if folks think our country can survive much more squishy, unprincipled Republicanism they have a mental malady much more severe than that.

Good luck with that....back to basics...

A RINO (Republican in Name Only), describes politicians who claim to be Republican but are in fact liberal, and therefore generally debase the winning conservative coalition base of the Republican Party. The term is used to characterize an officeholder or candidate who is a member of the Republican Party, but holds views outside the mainstream Republican Party such as support for raising taxes, abortion as a right, gay rights and gun control.

“I don’t trust him. “

I’m with you! Perry seems like the Texas edition of Mitt Romney. I thought we wanted to run a conservative this election, not another RINO...

[EternalVigilance]

Well, you can define it how you want.

I define it as a Republican who doesn't strictly adhere to the first principles of the republic.

Which is most of them now.

[sforkjoe57]

We get it. You hate Perry. How about telling us something positive about the candidate you like.

[shield]

It's not my description it is conservapedia.com. Conservative encyclopedia on the net....

I define it as a Republican who doesn't strictly adhere to the first principles of the republic.

That is not the right designation...need to find a better one than RINO...must fit the whole spectrum of politicians.

Don’t forget the actual Bill that the Governor is signing, here has nothing to do with more recent ACORN offenses.

This was in 2007, and the new law prevented arbitrary and irreversible foreclosure on homes.
