Don't like Perry? How about promoting your candidates positives?
8/27/11 | Listenhillary

Posted on 08/27/2011 7:00:28 PM PDT by listenhillary

We are adults and most on FR are very intelligent persons. I think we can decide if a candidate is right for us.

How about stop repeating the same Gardasil, Texas corridor, immigration stories over and over and over. Most have seen them by now if they have been paying attention. Most have judged the stories and condemn Perry to hell for them or they think that a president just might have different priorities than a state governor.

Screaming at us in all caps isn't going to change any minds. FR isn't the entire universe of voters. We are a very small pool of voters. If you're hell bent on trashing a candidate, it is likely that your efforts are wasted trying to persuade FR posters to change their minds about a candidate. Start standing out by the road with a sign telling your horror stories, pestering people in restaurants and buying billboards and advertising in newspapers and TV. You will have much more impact.

If you insist on cherry picking the negatives, can we do the same to you reviewing every decision and action that you have taken in your life? How would that work out for you? Honestly showing everything you have done, could you withstand the scrutiny?

I realize some of you insist that we are making a horrible mistake. The primary isn't until next year. Stop screaming. OK?

>>So far I haven’t seen one candidate get a free ride around here and Perry isn’t going to be any different.<<

Well said.

I see you were always picked last for the team.

Yadda. That's the second time you pulled that line. At least I have played for a team. You....LOL, you're living in mom's basement, get a life.

Yeah, that was a typo. I need to stop using the check box saying I have previewed the post.

No positives at all in ten years of Texas governorship?

That means Herman Cain, who has never been a politician,

He wanted to be a politician - because he ran but lost! So much for that. Now what has he done for our country? I don't mean what he did for himself but our country. A 'voice' is not enough.

And, when he agreed with Obama that Americans should not see the photos of bin laden; however, the officials can view them if they wanted - showed me a 'do as I say and not as I do' candidate and ignores 'We The People' but keeps the elite on their pedestal. NO THANKS!

Everybody should maintain the same decorum that Perry supporters demonstrate on Palin threads. Would that make you happy?

Incidently, I’ve even seen a Perry supporter initiate trash talk about Palin on a pro Perry thread. It was among the initial comments and not a response to a Palin supporter.

Gardasil, TTC, illegal immigrants. I’m deaf from it by now, Temper. You’ve made me and a whole bunch of other people DEAF to your unreasoned charges.

I’ve put the offer up numerous times for someone to take apart this research. No one has yet done so. It explains the reasoning behind Rick Perry’s most controvesial issues and criticisms. The author doesn’t assume or agree with everything he has done. It’s a little more in depth than the strictly hit and run bloggers.

Take it apart. Go ahead.

Facts are stubborn things. It takes courage to face the truth.

Perry’s an opportunist. He fell ass backwards into the governor’s office after barely winning election as Lt. Governor.

Considering your posts on this thread, “maturity” isn’t something you should question in others.

Oh, I'm sorry norm. Am I not rooting for the correct candidate? Why don't you enlighten me, who should I vote for.....?

I was speaking of his come to Christianity moment.

You cant define it.
I take umbrage that you think the man found Jesus for political fortune.

“Yeah I must’ve of seen three post in one day about how Perry is the only candidate that can beat Obama”

And I think there are 3 posts on this thread telling us to STFU.

Guess this crap happens in 3s ;)

That's exactly right, Norm. Don't let them in. That's what Perry says. "We cannot have a rational discussion on immigration until our borders are secure."

Texans know that does NOT mean a border fence, as that will not work in Texas except in towns and cities along the border...where we already have border fences. Perry wants manpower on the border. Stop the flood, then we can deal with the problem on our soil.

Unreasoned my foot. More liberalish blather.

D, address the issues rather than pretending they don’t exist. They do. And if you think it’s bad now, wait until the MSM rolls it out.

Perry has issues. He and his backers need to deal with them and not pretend they aren’t there. Sticking heads in the sand will not make them go away.

Wow. Another original line. You wouldn’t last three minutes on a Topix board. What you’re doing on FR is beyond me.
