PERRY: When I am president (Rick Perry Op-ed)
The Washington Times ^ | November 3, 2011 | Gov. Rick Perry

Posted on 11/04/2011 9:09:15 AM PDT by casinva

Washington is broken and must be completely overhauled to get America working again.

The tinkering technocrats think Washington can be fixed with a pair of tweezers. I, on the other hand, think it will require a president with the courage to take a sledgehammer to the three pillars of big government: overspending, overtaxation and overregulation.

Upon taking the oath of office, I will take immediate executive action to begin dismantling the Washington establishment so we can rebuild the American economy from the foundation up.

First, I will issue an executive order prohibiting the Department of Health and Human Services from any further implementation of Obamacare until we can fully repeal this unconstitutional government mandate, which, if it stands, will diminish our health care and kill jobs.

Second, I will order federal agencies to begin opening American energy fields for exploration and development, which will kick-start economic growth, reduce our dependence on energy from hostile foreign sources and eventually create 1.2 million jobs across every sector of the economy. I also will work with Congress to ensure that new revenue generated from energy production on federal lands is used to pay down the national debt.

Third, I will impose an immediate moratorium on all pending federal regulations, during which government agencies must audit every measure passed since 2008 to determine its necessity and impact on job creation. Those measures that kill jobs will be repealed.

And fourth, I will deploy thousands of National Guard personnel to secure our southern border until we can provide the permanent increase in manpower, technology and fencing needed to protect the American homeland in the long run. If I am elected, Washington will no longer abdicate its constitutional responsibility to secure the border or force states to fend for themselves.

Much more at link.

Perry and Gingrich are starting to give me the same vibe. You hear things that make you go “he gets it, he’s going to be great” and then some WTF comes out of his mouth and you go “eh, never mind”.

And fifth, I will stop talking about our southwest border, since I always wind up shooting myself in the foot, except to say that, “I will enforce the law” and leave it at that.

This just proves he's for an open border because, because, because, because he didn't say anything about claymore mines. Yeah, that's the ticket. He didn't say anything about claymores. Yeah, and snipers. And leg-hold traps in the Rio Grande. He should be president of Mexico. /s.

Thats pretty good... what I was hoping for..

BUT.......... whether Perry would do it is debatable..
Perry is awfully comfortable with democrats..

Could just be “all talk”... telling me what I want to hear..
I don’t trust Rick Perry.. simple as that..

Like G.W.Bush.. who could decide whether he was a conservative or a liberal..
Who may have been effected by the “svengali” Karl Rove..
Whos in the tank for Myth Romney.. the NEW Juan McLAme..

I remember Obama saying “when I am President” also prior to being elected.

Good plan and good man.

He was excellent in his Hannity interview the other night where he basically said the same things.

President of which country?
Mexico? At least he would not have to stand or please law-americans any more.

That was a good sarcasm post, but eerily similar to the things Perry haters post seriously.

I don’t respond to the haters anymore. It just gives them way too much attention.

Yet, I find it odd that they lie in wait for every Perry thread to spout lies.

A poster on a Cain thread yesterday was bemoaning that people he kindly referred to as Perrywinkles were criticizing Cain.

There were quite a few people on that thread who had serious questions about Cain and his handling of the alleged scandal, but none of them made mindless idiotic insults.

They were all (except maybe for me) very considered and factual in the things they posted. And a lot more people seem to be waking up to Cain ... that there is a possibility that he may not be Jesus Christ after all.

This poster couldn’t take it.

I wish he’d been with me on the Perry threads you so kindly post for the past 3/4 weeks. Then maybe he’d know what lies and personal insults really are.

He’s is going to need a new pair anyway. The ones he has now are shot full of holes.
