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?

Actually I sometimes wonder if Obama is further to the left than Rick Perry. ;)

Ooohhhh I went there.

“They have to pay resident tuition, which isn’t that much less than out-of-state in Texas.”

In-state tuition at Texas A&M (St. Rick's school), is slightly over $8k while out of state tuition is over $22k. You have a strange idea of “isn't much less.”

I have no patience for amateur idiots. It's great to work with a professional, like you!

Well, perhaps you should read the thread before opening your big PIEHOLE.......

Perhaps if you didn’t make up so much BS you wouldn’t be so burdened with trying to keep it all straight, nor have half the thread’s posters call you on it.

Time for bed woogums. I’ll check back tomorrow and see if you fessed up with the creds or just kept BSing your way around your, and Gov. Perry’s, obvious shortcomings.

Toodles ;)

Word games? Really? You said, LEGAL IMMIGRANTS with GREEN CARDS can join the US Military.

Please point to a post of mine wherein I said they couldn't.

Tick, tock....

I believe this is a Perry thread by a Perry supporter. Wonder what the rules are around here about defining who the troll is? I also believe you ping those you reference as “trolls”. I know the Palin supporters get to play with impunity and with the easy rules, but the grown ups expect you to take what you dish out.

I think Rita was talking about power... not a specific office. Perry is the most powerful TX politician since LBJ....so I'm told.

FYI, Perry is very powerful. Why do you think he kicks sand in Rove's and the Bushes' faces? He doesn't need them!

It was about Palin. I remember you and Grizzled. I’ll try to find it as soon as I get done posting responses. This has gone on for pages and pages now.

You should really pay attention to your tagline. Then you would have the peace you need.

She didn’t say “Not since LBJ was a governor,” dork. She said “Not since LBJ, has a governor wielded....” She left out the comma.

Dork? Tsk, tsk.

Nice try but she said it and meant it. Moreover, she's defending her erroneous statement in post #459.

Liar. Non-resident tuition is more than double:

Could be. Some of his supporters certainly are.

Lyndon Baines Johnson was never governor of Texas.

Look, genius, let me put this in Gerber Baby terms for you. We all know LBJ was NOT governor. Who the heck said he was? Find another stump to butt.
