“old poll from earlier in the week.”
It’s the latest Iowa poll. The only thing that happened since then is that Perry is on the defensive (again) about the name of his ranch.
You know, you do yourself a disservice when you spread the lies like the libs do. FR used to be better than this.
It's not his ranch but a hunting lease. The Perry's don't even own it. They just get to hunt on the land during hunting season.
Update (Ed): Here is the statement from Perrys camp in its entirety:
A number of claims made in the story are incorrect, inconsistent, and anonymous, including the implication that Rick Perry brought groups to the lease when the word on the rock was still visible. The one consistent fact in the story is that the word on a rock was painted over and obscured many years ago.Gov. Perry and his family never owned, controlled or managed the property referenced in the Washington Post story. The 42,000-acre ranch is owned by the Hendricks Home for Children, a West Texas charity. http://www.hendrickhome.com/
Perrys father painted over offensive language on a rock soon after leasing the 1,000-acre parcel in the early 1980s. When Gov. Perry was party to the hunting lease from 1997 to 2007, the property was described as northern pasture. He has not been to the property since 2006.
In 1991, the Texas Legislature passed a bill to rename old, offensive place names.
You would think Perry would have been bright enough to make sure something was done about the name of that ranch, or whatever it is, before running.
Good thing this came out early.
What’s the name of his ranch?
It wasn't "his ranch". I'll be charitable and assume you simply don't understand what a hunting lease is, and aren't deliberately lying.
Which has turned out to be a lie.
Bachman hs nowhere to go but up!
What a slanted piece of garbage! This is NOT PERRY’S RANCH! It is a hunting lease. You know, people go there to hunt but don’t own the property. Boy you are doing your best to get someone else elected, I just haven’t figured out who yet. It is too bad that you have to engage in lies and slander to express your opinion.
