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?

Not since LBJ has a governor wielded power like Rick Perry.

Uh, Rita...LBJ was never governor.

Thanks Rita! But don't let these goofballs run you off. They are a tiny but vocal minority. Did you see where Norm called in the cavalry to show me how I was outvoted by other Texans on the border fence...and no one responded? Oh my.... They're too much fun!

Perry 2012!

Of course there are exceptions, there seems to be exceptions to everything. The government shouldn’t have people making tax laws who don’t pay their taxes. We shouldn’t have a president who will not reveal any part of his past. These things shouldn’t be but as we know they do exist. The laws require that applicants be a legal resident of the United States before their application to the military can be taken. That is a fact and I provided a link from the US military to prove it. That RINO Rick wants to change that is unacceptable. ILLEGALs should get nothing America has to offer but a bus ride back to the border.

D, please spare me the BS. You won’t address issues, answer questions and then whine when called on it.

There have been a number of things on this thread alone you have either ignored altogether or blown off when called on by myself and others.

You act exactly like a lib disruptor. Are you? Prove it.

You need a valid SSN to join the United States Military. Would someone please expand upon this concept?

T-Paw’s unemployment rate is apples to oranges with Perry. Texas had a HUGE influx of job seekers, increasing the population I believe faster than any other state. Adjusting for this, Perry beat T-Paw’s unemployment record like a drum.

Yep I constantly hear these stories but have never found an illegal that will work for $20 a day here in So Cal...and if anyone can hook me up I'll pay them twice that to trim my trees!!...and a finders fee!

I have a neighbor who hires the 'local' help that hangs out in front of Home Depot. He said the laborers cost him $60 a day per laborer. This $20 a day crap came from someone so completely clueless it is laughable.

Yes, my neighbor is a Mexican.

Illegals should not get a bus ride back to the border. They should be placed in a strict Federal Prison facility for at least a year the first time they are caught here illegally - then longer each time they are caught. Now there is no consequence to being here illegally - we encourage illegal behavior. There should be a price to pay and that price should not be a free air-conditioned bus ride in that Green Bus. They should be returned to the southermost airport in Mexico... they should have time to think twice before making the swim again!

Of course not...Nothing matters in politics or pol supporters. Personally I don’t give a flying fig. Someone else brought it up, and drey wanted the source. I told her the source was t/rick perry. I proved it, but it’s on youtube so it didn’t happen, which has absolutely nothing to do with anything except that drey is a nut who wanted the source for the comment. The source was t/rick perry. End of story.
Go fight with someone who gives a damn.

You knew it was only a matter of time before Drey would throw out the false premise that it's either Perry gets the nomination or else we're doomed to Obama.

This is the corruption of the Rick Perry Kool-aid.

Norm, that "source" was all type-written anti-Perry propaganda. When it finally got to the actual interview, Perry did not say what the script claimed. Why don't you listen to it then get back to me. That was a hack job. Nothing more.

BTW, I'm happy to be wrong on his "promise". I just want to see an actual source that demonstrates it.

Good point but I doubt you will get an answer.

Plenty of time for that after Perry is totally trashed and stuffed into the trash can of history!

Perry will be quitting in the middle of his term, when he promised the people of Texas he wouldn't quit to run for President. Does that count as quitting? Or just lying? Or both?

Add to that a governor who runs for president should quit his job as governor when he runs for president.

So far Perry hasn't done that.
