Some of You Tea Party Folk Think Rick Perry’s the Answer?

Hey, I know he’s far from perfect. There was only one perfect person. RP ain’t Jesus by a long shot.

I do know that he is a good and effective governor with a long and proven record. When the 0bamanation is finished it is going to require someone with vast EXPERIENCE in governing to pick up the pieces of a broken nation. Nobody else running or not running can match that experience PERIOD.

1/2 termers aren’t going to cut it. Polarizing people aren’t going to be effective either. Some of us see the bigger picture of what will need to be done. It’s going to take a lot more than ideology to clean up the crap 0bama and his minions leave us. Your favorite can’t beat 0bama in the general election therefore, I’m NOT going to waste my vote in the primaries. My goal is to kick that turd out of the WH.

-"Is it me, or does Jimmy Rick actually look a little like GWB in some of these pics?"

No! It's not you.

interesting...

When your candidat, Palin does not run and she endorses Perry what will you do then? Because its very likely that Palin will endorse Perry.

[upsdriver]

I agree. Until she is actually in the race these beat downs of Perry by her rabid supporters aren’t going to accomplish much.

Do you know what bugs me about you "rabid" Perry supporters? You have no curiosity or desire to thoroughly vet Perry to find out IF there are things about him we should know. Palin has been through that fire. You Perry folks are trying to do the same thing Obama's supporters did, cover up and hope to slip through without a proper vetting. I just finished reading the book; Reckless Endangerment: How Outsized Ambition, Greed, and Corruption Led to Economic Armageddon. I want to know what connections, what favors were exchanged and how it affected the marketplace. The last thing we need for president is another dirty politician. If Perry is clean, I want to see it proven, not assumed.

"Gee, the Palinistas must be more worried about Perry getting momentum than I thought."


They should be given the results to a recent e-mail just sent out by Tea Party Nation:

"Tea Party Nation is a user-driven
 group of like-minded people who desire our God-given individual
 freedoms written out by the Founding Fathers. We believe in Limited 
Government, Free Speech, the 2nd Amendment, our Military, Secure 
Borders and our Country.

Should Sarah Palin run for the Republican Nomination?

No 57.04% (494 votes)

Yes 42.96% (372 votes)

Total Votes: 866" http://www.teapartynatio..._source=msg_mes_network

This is the group that paid her a hefty fee to speak at a National Convention they held last year. Of the Tea Party groups, this is the one I would have expected to be the most "pro-Palin". Just about al of those who commented on a separate thread liked her, but most did not want to see her run. Several compared her role to a cheerleader. The question was mailed out to people on their list (Tea Party supporters). Such results do not bode well for her should she decide to enter the race.

Here is one response:

"Excellent cheerleader,, great for the cause and the movement. But being down two touchdownd late inthe fourth quarter,, the coach doesn't runa cheerleader into the huddle. Much less in the QB position."

Since you’re a Palin supporter .. why not spend your time supporting her instead of running other people down.

Frankly .. if Palin doesn’t run, I’d rather have Perry than any of the rest of the field.

And .. I’d choose John Bolton (former weapons guy at the State Dept, and Ambassador to the UN) as VP. This guy has an ear to the ground in foreign affairs. And .. he knows how to deal with the snakes at the UN - if I remember correctly .. the UN hated Bolton .. that’s a really good recommendation in my book. He sure would be an asset to either Palin or Perry.

Some Palin supporters have shown themselves to be far more vitriolic than Palin herself has ever been. Had she behaved like them I would never consider voting for her, and I expect that their vile attitude will in fact dissuade some from doing so as a form of payback.

[TheWriterTX]

Why did ACORN support the 2005 legislation? Why was the ability to refinance a Contract for Deed to a Deed of Trust important for homeowners and gave them greater control over their own property?

Whenever anyone parrots the Acorn-Perry BS talking point, or continually asserts the lies about the scope of Texas debt, I know they are full of CRAP and a NON-TEXAN.

Bet you can't answer these questions, because you don't know SH&T about Texas.

But go ahead, keep spewing your lies.

Went was the last time Rick had a real job. He just reminds me of a typical career, professional politician.

-"Good article.. After reading a bit in Perry I see him as Bush lite on immigration issues and trying to appeal to the religious right...."

Thank You! It really doesn't take much to go out a research a candidate and their "positions", to see if they are really philosophically grounded in what they believe in, or just more of the same "tell me what you want to hear, and I can tell you what you want to hear" philosophy. A candidate who has a 'trend' or 'track-record' of this type of "tell me what you want to hear" philosophy, automatically (despite what they may say) becomes very suspect and not trustworthy when important decisions need to be made.

[Magic Fingers]

“When your candidat, Palin does not run and she endorses Perry what will you do then? Because its very likely that Palin will endorse Perry.”

Why, start bashing her as a RINO-lover...NOT. Probably some serious re-trenching and loads of excuses, though.

Unfortunately, I find myself coming to FreeRepublic less and less often these days. I can't stand to see the constant attacking of candidates that have the courage to stand up at this point in time and declare their intentions to run against Obama for president.

I haven't declared my support for any candidate yet, but I do know this - WHOEVER ends up being the one that runs against Obama - I WILL VOTE FOR HIM/HER. This should be our top priority!

It's fine to point out the pros and cons of each candidate, but NONE of them are perfect - right now, at this time in history - the declared candidates that can beat Barack Hussein Obama should be getting encouragement - not the circular firing squad treatment.

I've read in other threads that this is "Palin Territory" - she is not even a candidate yet! Without exception, when I read a thread attacking Perry or Bachmann - it is initiated by a Palin supporter. I haven't heard Gov. Palin spread this kind of slime herself, and I think it reflects badly on her to see her supporters do it. I can go to DU if I want to see Republican candidates get trashed.

[Figment]

Thank you for letting us know these things. I suppose I’ll just vote Obama

[lewislynn]

They hate Perry but have no problem with Sarah endorsing the head RINO McCain.

Typical neophyte voters.

Typical hypocrite

Rick Perry Was Al Gore’s Texas Campaign Chairman

[CajunConservative]

You assume we don’t know anything about him. I assure you that isn’t the case. I keep up with Texas politics since I live near the border and do business there.

Louisiana suffers brain drain because the college graduates move to Texas for better jobs. People from all over are moving to Texas because it’s the one place that is consistently open for employment.

[The Bronze Titan]

-"Right now, Perry is the best we've got."

That's why Sarah Palin will run!

[P-Marlowe]

You and your ilk are an embarrassment to Palin.

The Tea Party consists of patriotic and God loving Americans who see the dangers the Left have brought down upon us, and want to stand up for what is right for America.

The strength of America has always been her people! We stuck ttogether and it took ALL of us to win WWII. Only the God fearing people in what is termed The Tea Party can beat Obama!

Satan loves a naysayer. He draws his power from the do nothings.

God bless our Constitution! It, like God, does not change! It is the same now as it was the day it was written! The commandments of the Bible do not change. They are as true today as the day Moses brougt[ht the tablets down from the mountain!

Satan deals in doubts. There is right and there is wrong and they are NOT situtational! Be sure yu are on the right side, and together we will know victory in 2012!
