LOL! Again, the intelligent discussion on this site is decreasing tremendously.

I’m a big government liberal republican?

Your post explains a lot. None of it good.

I was impressed by Guiliani during 9-11. I was impressed during his Mayoral tenure. He was great for NYC and he was great during 9-11. I don’t know if he would have been great for the Country but he would have been better than Obama.

There were certainly some things I didn’t like about him.

Of course not. That would tax your brain and we can’t have that.

I agree with you asessment. Somethimes it’s just about having the right person at the right spot when something awful happens. Rudy’s destiny was to manage one of thr Largest cities trough that crisis. I just do’t think he would have made a good Pres. Nothing personal just cold hard facts. I still respect the job he did. He was a great Mayor.

You're engaging in circular reasoning, or begging the question.

Obama bids fair to be even more unpopular than Jimmuh Dhimmi Carter; yet the Perrysites are jumping all over this and other sites like a horde of orcs, all mindlessly chanting the slogan that "Perry can win" and pointing to their own astroturf as evidence.

Palin attracts large incredibly enthusiastic crowds whereever she goes.

So her support is evidently much more widely distributed than Perry's (click on the screen names of most Perrysites on FR and you will find a connection to Texas). This indicates that Texans think choosing the President is just like a football game, where you root for the local boys regardless.

But the stakes are too high to send another RINO to the slaughter.

People are hungry for conservatism: and George Bush sold the conservatives up the river last time by talking a good game but then not delivering, even when he had both houses of Congress under GOP control.

I'm not going to be fooled by another RINO weather-vane Texan.

Cheers!

Or they dispute the significance of the details; or they do point them out but it's more convenient for you to dismiss all of them by painting with a broad brush, so that's what you do.

Cheers!

In other words, Perry is the GOP Obama: and you're trying for the role of geriatric "Perry Girl."

And they complain Palin supporters have no substance?

Cheers!

I think you misread me, easy enough to do! No, I'm not enthralled with Perry ... I am hoping Palin gets in and wins the whole thing.

I'm just saying that I think Perry is awfully damned handsome. As for "trying for the role of geriatric 'Perry Girl'" (ouch! That's gonna leave a mark!) ... a Palin detractor has posted several times the idea that if Palin was a short fat bald guy, nobody would be paying any attention; my answer to that poster was to speak for herself; that if Palin was a short fat bald guy who nonetheless had the attributes of Palin (drew tens of thousands to hear "him" talk politics, pioneered a new social medium into a political vehicle to go around the MSM, preached the gospel of limited government, played hardball in negotiations with oil companies and won, attacked Obama regularly and on such a broad front that "he" changed the entire national conversation on the issues, i.e. "death panels," etc.) I'd support the short fat bald guy over handsome Perry.

Just 'cause I think Perry's damned handsome, doesn't mean I don't think Palin would be the better choice. :^)

I’m not sure he would have made a great pres either. He was great for NYC and he rocked during 9-11. He’s far from perfect for sure. Aren’t we all?

He would have been better than Obama, Hillary, McCain, and Romney imo.

Perry likes to put on an act about his conservative credentials, and his sympathies with the Tea Party, but if the truth is told, he’s no more one of us than the man in the Moon. You might want to let your fellow conservatives and Tea Party patriots know it too:... We’re being hustled again.

That's how I see the guy....I'm not from Texas but I do look into what candidates history REALLLY is. It didn't take long to find out the truth about Perry....and I'm sure glad I did it early....becuase....

Perry's people are busy scrubbing the Internet!

Don't be surprised if Jim Rob fumigates the joint in the next couple of weeks

Well it surely needs it....I could do with some fresh air! All these Perry threads have ceased being vetting the guy...his people are simply permoting him now and not interested in debating or vetting the guy.

I’ve thought about my reply to you and maybe I was a bit harsh. You’re not in the middle class, the sector that suffers the most from all the Govt. crap.

See, some of us were born and raised in poverty, far different than what is today. Our parents were immigrants, fought in WWII, the working poor, and raised us right, striving to attain better than they had, with hard work. And we remember. Once we got there, it kinda sucks that we’re paying for all the whiners in our society and we’re getting sick of it.

So when we achieved better than our parents, we were thrilled. Then we were hit with reality. We know we’re paying for the low lifes of society and it’s pissing us off. We know our kids get nothing. They’re lucky to get the academic scholarship money they get. But they ain’t getting anything for their race, or their economic situation, or anything else. Frankly, we are all just sick of it. We are tired of paying for everyone else.

So we are part of it, and apparently you aren’t.

Perry states...."Border "security" is a federal responsibility but a Texas problem,.... and Texas has invested hundreds of millions of state dollars in efforts to support and supplement security forces already in place. Still, this is a problem that will only be solved with more federal accountability and involvement.”(Taxpayers money). Note he's not interested in closing the border....he can only permote "secure" the border because he wants his companies and industries on that border and elswhere to not have to deal with the drug thugs and traffic he lets in.

He's not permoting this for our nations safety...he's doing this for the gravy he gets off the border and the deals he's made for that area with Mexico.

Well I would expect such a response from a Perry supporter.

The mandate allowed the insurance companies to pay for it so that poor people could get it also.

Poor people with insurance companies? What did I miss?
