Rick Perry will do more to ruin the image of Christians and move the Republican base to the left than any other candidate before him.......if he gets elected.

You got that right.

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

Texas jobs are being taken by ILLEGALS.......the very same border-violators Perry wants to gift with amnesty. The US needs a President who will CUT spending, and STOP illegal immigration....... not more “business as usual.”

THIS DOES NOT BODE WELL Anyone who dares shine the light of truth on Perry results in being labeled ‘pro-obama’.........called a ‘troll’ and a "Paultard."

MORE PROBLEMS Perry’s coziness with the Chinese and foreign investors exposes a huge weak­ness in his right flank—illegal immigration and open borders.

Perry's ill-conceived "Trans Texas Corridor" (wherein he used eminent domain to take land from Texans for foreigners) has been linked to the global plan to economically integrate North America, with the eventual goal of a common security perimeter modeled after the European Union.

Perry ushered in in-state tuition for illegals and has objected to Arizona-style immigration laws in Texas.

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

THE REALLY BAD NEWS--resurrecting the neocons Perry has been endorsed by neocon guru (Fox talking head), Bill Kristol.

Yikes. Neocons and Perry--what could possibly go wrong? (/snix). A-n-o-t-h-e-r several trillion tax dollars into Mideast hellholes?

Ah, it was only yesterday (before 2010 Midterms) that Billy Kristol was humming the neocon theme song, "The Decline and Fall of American Conservatism." KRISTOL WROTE: The “art of government” is to translate the “liberal or radical impulse into enduring institutions,” which in a constitutional republic means that neocons want socialist ends to be achieved with conservative means.

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

So how did Rick Perry and the neocons meet, and live happily ever after?

Remember when Rick endorsed Rooty Giuliani?

Fox talker Billy Kristol's father----neocon Irving Kristol (now deceased)----was Giuliani's "foreign policy advisor."

As Irving famously wrote: "The historical task and political purpose of neoconservatism is.....to convert the Republican Party and American conservatism in general, against their respective wills, into a new kind of conservative politics suitable to governing a modern democracy."

Neocons favorite sports: (1) kicking so/con Repubs to the curb, (2) religious cleansing of the Repub party.

When I see the justifications the Perry followers give I understand clearly who this slide to the left happens.

One more nail in the Perry coffin....

Thanks for the pings/posts, Liz and South40. Thanks for posting the article, SeekAndFind. Very interesting and educational about Texas' state government. Very good thread. Thanks to all posters pro/con.

BUMP! (President and Congress) DEFUND socialist collectives, foreign and domestic.

Please tell us more about the “religious cleansing of the Republican Party.”

About those Texans and their counterfeiting; The Governor heard about them, too. And set out to make their crime less likely. He was unable to get the sanctuary cities bill through, but we got voter ID and a law against giving illegal aliens drivers licenses.

http://www.issues2000.org/governor/Rick_Perry_Immigration.htm

Issues2000.org’s summary of the Governor’s 2009 State of the State Address:

End the notion of sanctuary cities
As we continue to strengthen our border, we must also consider the essential role that federal immigration policy, or the lack thereof, plays in the safety of our citizens and integrity of our state.

After revelations that a Dallas man had set up a cottage industry procuring Texas driver licenses for illegal aliens hailing from countries around the world, I am an even stronger supporter of the DPS initiative to issue specialized, vertical driver licenses, to identify those who have overstayed their visa.

I also support an end to the notion of sanctuary cities. Local government sends the wrong message when they pick and choose what laws they want their peace officers to enforce.

We should also track the citizenship status of those receiving state-funded services so we can get our hands around the financial impact of Washington’s failure to handle the immigration challenge. Some may oppose these efforts, but they are commonsense approaches to protecting our citizens’ lives and resources.
