A few pleasantries at the beginning of a letter on behalf of the citizens he represented constitutes Perry's "support of National Healthcare"? You cannot be serious.
This line of attach was silly the first time it was posted, and it is no less silly today.
It was well known that the Klintons had a plan for socialized medicine. So Perry’s defenders either have a short memory, are too young to remember or just as with every other part of Perry’s liberal record, they just don’t care.
attach = attack
I will not support this man.
You know the old saying:
You can take the Rick Perry out of the trailer park, but you can't take the trailer park out of Rick Perry.
What makes me crazy about you Perry anti-fanboys is you will not acknowledge the very real possibility that your favorite candidate would have acted in pretty much the same way.
Perry is not my own. I want no part of Juan McCain II.
Exactly!
do not stand for it!
Sorry I read the letter as more than a few pleasantries...
I don’t know about the Perrybots, but the zerobamabots are happy with your work
Believe me, this is nothing compared to what we're going to see about Palin if she happens to enter the race, especially if it looks as if she's winning. The liberals will use her past statements to make her look like Karl Marx in the eyes of conservatives who are suckers for that kind of thing.
Some of them are clearly desperate.
No source is too left wing for them to cite.
No allegation is too absurd for them to try to run with.
Sad to see any legitimate GOP candidate be treated this way by fellow conservatives. I can understand liberals doing it, but to see us try to eat our own with half-truths and innuendos is extremely disappointing.
Perhaps you can enlighten me. I am unaware of another Republican governor who endorsed pro-abortion candidate Rudy Giuliani for president.
And I am unaware if another candidate who supports instate tuition for ILLEGAL aliens.
And I am unaware of another candidate who wants to give citizenship to ILLEGAL aliens who, as Ricardo put it, "have served 'their' country".
And I am unaware of any other candidate who signed an EO that would cause families to tell the government that their 9-year-old daughter who is NOT sexually active doesn't want or need an unproven vaccination.
I am unaware of any other candidate who "would have acted in pretty much the same way". So who, other than Rick Perry has done any of these things?
I’ll no longer be a party to the destruction of the country under any party label.
Wildly off topic but Holy crap, Tigers went into the bottom of the 9th trailing by two and 2 run homer tied it followed by a walkoff home run.
What’s wrong with trailer parks? If your boy, Obama, wins again (that’s who you are helping BTW)...we’ll all be living in one (if we’re lucky).
blah blah blah what kind of bot are you?
He was doing his job as Texas Agriculture Commissioner.
Period, end of story.
This says a lot about Texans. Apparently they want a "nanny" looking out for them.
I wonder when Texas became the "Pansy - nanny state"?
You know, I am not a Perry hater, nor am I in a “Palin cultish haze”. I want to know about his past record—especially since he is marketing himself as a bonafide conservative. I don’t like the information in this article.
Oh, you were posting some rather snippy remarks on Palin threads. For a noob, you come off pretty rude, and I am wondering if you have some alternative agenda.
In April 1993 I knew HillaryCare for what it was.
Will you vote for me as President because I must be a lot smarter than Perry?
I’ve seen that video.
It’s Rick Perry as a youth causing trouble
He can be seen here holding the guitar.

You Perry haters are really pathetic and your desperation is apparent"
LMAO You are soooooooo correct!!!
First Poll Officially Shows a Real Republican Candidate
( Perry ) Beating Obama
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2773202/posts
ahhh so this is the infamous letter. Thanks for posting it you’ll get some Perrybots panties all worked up over it.
This country is under attack from the top. We are under attack by the elected leader of our country (however much he cheated to attain such position).
Yet you think that you do this country a favor by attacking those who would attack this enemy of our country?
I can understand a patriot wanting to see the best champion emerge...but I cannot imagine anyone trying to destroy those in competition for such championship.
This is not a sports championship...this is an existential battle for our country and, indeed, for Western civilization.
An attack on our own is a service on behalf of our enemy, Obama.
You may laugh at it but I’m sure not.
It appears Perry doesn’t know anything until he knows something. The rest of us all knew what Hillary was up to but Perry didn’t.
Is it a Gibson guitar?
That is your prerogative, but how do you reconcile it with the fact that Perry strongly opposed HillaryCare once the actual plan was revealed and he has consistently opposed government attempts to take over healthcare in the 18 years that have followed since he wrote the letter cited in this hit piece?
Trust me, you are nowhere as intimidating as my maker.
I wonder when Texas became the "Pansy - nanny state"?
Great point. I have never wanted government to "look out" for me. That's a characteristic of liberal politics and, combined with the Gardasil fiasco shed light on who and what Rick Perry is about.
He was doing his job as Texas Agriculture Commissioner.
He was not praising HillaryCare - THE TITLE IS A LIE
because HillaryCare did not exist YET.
He was trying to make sure the task force kept in mind the farmers and ranchers of America. That was his job.
He will not only do his job as President but will do it well.
And he CAN beat Obama!!!!!!!!
He’s the first Republican to beat Obama in the Polls.
I am beginning to wonder if your hatred of Perry isn't some kind of gay vindictiveness thang.
Let it go boys...there'll be other straight men you can hate.
I saw that!!! The Tigers are really surprising me this year!
Since ricardo is using it, it’s probably a vihuela.
Quite frankly any attack from our "own" is nothing compared to what Obama and his people are going to do. We've already seen it. In 2008. He even had lawyers threatening the media.
We ain't seen nothun' yet. Obama isn't going quietly or easily.
My maker (to whom I am completely devoted) is the same Person. So I guess we are brothers of a sort?
Don’t waste your time with the Perry haters, they can’t even spell let alone think.
the hypocritical denial is the worst part it means that you totally lose the mantle of principals or moral high ground.
Did I stumble into the religion forum?
As Texas Agriculture Commissioner Perry wrote, on April 6, 1993, asking Hillary to keep the challenges to rural communities, farmers and ranchers in mind as the task force developed ideas on healthcare reform.
That was just two months after Clinton took office, 6 months before Hillary's healthcare congressional testimony and 8 months before a bill was introduced.
He was doing the professional duty of the office to which he was elected. It was not advocacy or praise for what eventually came out of the task force or the legislation in congress.
You know, maybe the 20th time someone posts this, the result will be different than the other 19 times. It’s good to have hope.
And just where do you think that money came from...Given what we know about our debt, your grand kids.
Such a good post wasted on a poster who will not understand.
Obama IMHO is evil through and through. We need the toughest SOB around to take the fight to him.
And even then, it will be a Battle Royale.
I think Perry is a tough SOB...I think Sarah is also, but I think she need to gain experience.
That said, if the conservative majority decides to get behind Sarah this time, I am behind her 110%.
As I said, I am trying to learn about all the candidates. I will re-read the article and see the strong opposition to Hillarycare~or Google it...Missed its presentation on this thread....***
That said, I did not like the letter and consider it more than pleasantries...that is my opinion. I have not seen his opposition to Hillarycare or national healthcare—I am learning about all the candidates...I know the most about Romney, Palin and Ron Paul as they were in national spotlight.
He may have been doing his job, but I was really busy in the 90s lobbying AGAINST Hillarycare, Bill and Hillary, and I never was a Dem or an Algore supporter. He may be the nominee, but he, like Romney, has a record and it is OK to ask questions about his past.
***Perhaps you can direct me.
if Perry couldn’t see through algore in ‘88, you know he’s not a real Conservative. Perry simply saw which way the political winds were blowin’ after ‘88, & went with the flow.
Really, the only thing I really like about Perry is that he is said to be one ruthless bastard. We need that.
Lame...but you get credit for cultural depth.;-)
