Don't like Perry? How about promoting your candidates positives?

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?

I think I’ll wait until DRey reminds me of what we talked about.

Odds are it probably had to do with dogs since that seems to my primary purpose here, nowadays...:D

Booger-pickers make $20/hour in CA. That’s one of the reasons why unemployment is so bad there. We’re talking about Texas and you most certainly can pick up a wetback for Drywall. The fresher the wetback, the cheaper they are. Some work for food.

You go downtown where they hang out, brandish a $20 and say “Drywall.” They’ll come a-runnin’!

How about I wave a $20 at you and say "let's tongue kiss!"

You just disproved Buck’s point. He was just saying illegals make good money. Yet you say Americans can’t get work because illegals have them all. Hmmm....

His post is spot on. You, on the other hand, can't keep your stories straight. Must be all those onion fumes on the way to the airport.

Nite, seriously, you do realize the cost of living is SIGNIFICANTLY lower in TX than CA, don’t you? It’s very easy to find cheap workers downtown. Dirt cheap.

Excerpt:
UPDATE 1-INTERVIEW-Texas governor says ‘No’ to presidential run
Wed Dec 15, 2010
AUSTIN, Texas, Dec 15 (Reuters) - Texas Governor Rick Perry on Wednesday emphatically denied that he plans to run for president in 2012, snubbing Washington and arguing that states are where the “action” is in changing the country.

Dampening speculation that the conservative Republican is testing the waters for such a bid, the longest-running governor of Texas said the next president should scale back federal government.

“I don’t want to be president of the United States. I’m not going to run for the presidency of the United States,” Perry told Reuters in an interview in the Texas state capital.

Perry has been coy about his aspirations and said repeatedly that he has the “best job in America.” But his remarks to Reuters were among his most emphatic comments on the subject to date.

Errrrrr, we had this discussion the other night. LEGAL IMMIGRANTS with GREEN CARDS can join the US Military......did you forget or are you still trolling......

Errrrr...have I ever said they couldn't? And did you bother reading my post #331?

Enlistment into the U.S. Navy, or any branch of the U.S. military, by citizens of countries other than the United States is limited to those foreign nationals who are legally residing in the United States and possess an Immigration and Naturalization Service Alien Registration Card

BTW...you do realize that someone who possess a green card is not ILLEGAL, don't you? RINO Rick wants to give citizenship to ILLEGAL aliens who serve in the US military. Hope that helps.

Yes, my point was factual and well stated. The terminally clueless wouldn't understand it, though.

It was roofed by illegals after the last hail storm. I hated it. My builder brought them in. Let’s see. You can do the math if you like. The house is 3400 sq. ft. Insurance paid 90% minus $5,400 deductible, which actually covered the entire bill to my builder. I think the total check was $16,000. There were approximately 12 workers on the roof plus an a-hole supervisor. They worked for five days. After my builder took a cut plus paid for materials (architectural composite shingles, 30-year, I think), doesn’t sound like the workers got too much out of the deal.

With all appropriate respect to Misseur ScreamingFist... Perhaps if you wouldn’t put your fist in that place you wouldn’t scream quite so loud.

Additionally...illegals shouldn’t get SSNs.

Deal with it.

” Rita, I hope you never crack on Palin or Bachmann about their alleged ignorance of history. You got ‘em beat.

Take up your dispute with history up with the Texas Monthly.
You are fact deprived. Google up. It’s been all over the web. On the others, don’t get me started. The “alleged” ignorance of history has already been printed, bound and on the newstand. I think there is also live video. I don’t know how you allege live video where you live. No one will be blooper free, I give you that and nothing more. Not a hair.

No one is giving them free tuition. That is a lie the haters are telling about Perry. They have to pay resident tuition, which isn’t that much less than out-of-state in Texas.
