For that matter, what other candidates besides Romney or Perry have solid records as job creators?

If you look at the Clinton Administration record for job-creation, you will find that it is actually bad until after '94. The Clinton Boom was actually the Gingrich Boom.

Happy New Year dirtboy.

[Cincinatus' Wife]

Then, since close to 50% of jobs filled have been in Texas, you could say the Perry Boom has kept the Obama Depression out of Texas.

Get busy, I’m sure there is at least one other anti-Santorum article out there you can post since he’s now well ahead of your guy in the polls.

Give us a list of the people who follow your orders.

Who are free and clear of you and have no reason to follow them but do, merely because you show up and start issuing orders.

It would be a blank sheet of paper.

Let's bring up some stuff, shall we...? The Perry supporters will simply say it's not the same.

Cited from here...

Texas publications have tracked Perry’s every move, and land deals are no exception.

In the months leading up to his 2010 gubernatorial re-election, The Dallas Morning News reported that Perry had purchased land in Horseshoe Bay from his longtime friend and fellow state lawmaker, Troy Fraser, for $150,000 less than its appraised value of $450,000. Perry sold the property in 2007 for more than $1 million.

In 2002, the Houston Chronicle reported that Perry had transferred 60 acres of Austin land he owned into a blind trust right before the 1999 Texas Legislature met. His trust sold the property for a profit a few days after then-Gov. George W. Bush signed legislation that allowed development on the land. Back then, Perry spokesman Sullivan told the Chronicle the decision was made “by the trustee, not the governor.”

And in September, The Huffington Post reported that federal authorities investigated Perry two years after a 1996 transaction in which he bought 2,800 shares from Kinetic Concepts Inc., a health technology company owned by Dr. James Leininger, a top donor to Perry and to Republicans. A month later, Perry went on to sell 8,000 shares of his Kinetic stock, making $38,000 off the deal.

You really are a cretin, aren’t you? I am suggesting to CW that she spend more time promoting Perry and less time bashing the other candidates. Hardly an unreasonable request. But spin-crazed hacks like you try to make it seem like I am giving orders. So, once again, kiss my pasty rump. Perry is not made better by bashing the other candidates.

[firebrand]

A FRiend describes the view from the electorate as “watching these guys try to climb a greased pole.”

We are at a disadvantage this year in that we have many candidates coming out of a corrupt system, and the Dems have only one.

Yet we have one big advantage: Obama. Eyes on the prize! These reports of corruption on all sides pale in comparison to what the Wrecking Ball in Chief is doing to this country.

Qaradawi? Which of our candidates would not vomit at the name? And so many other reasons. As freepers we know them all. Steady on.

Not saying he wasn’t paid. It’s just that these boards don’t actually do much except vote on what management puts in front of them. Usually in accordance with management recommendations.

[Cincinatus' Wife]

They’re paid for their influence and future promise to the company.

[NavVet]

Exactly! And they generally don’t have any visibility into the mundane things like billing and litigation unless they read about them in the newspapers.
