What if we had a candidate for President with a real record of creating jobs? A conservative with proven leadership in tough times.
The leader of a state that created more jobs in the past two years than the other 49 states combined....

“I have voted for Perry 3 times and will vote for him again. He can WIN!”
A dog catcher can beat Obama.
As far as being a conservative, if you define it as being for forcing little girls to get inoculations so that they can have wild and crazy sex through their teen years, then I guess Perry is a conservative. I could say the same for open borders and the biggest land grab in US history, but I’ll spare you the embarrassment.
Yes I know. The Point is that the race for the primary is between Palin and Romney. Everyone else is filler.
I will never vote for Romney.
Palin is my first choice, but if she doesn’t get in, she’ll most likely end up endorsing Rick Perry.
Here’s a link to a good story about the two of them...
Also, here’s a link to a very fair assessment of Perry, warts and all....

The Gadasil vaccine Perry tried to “force” on Texas girls?
Dead issue.
He never tried to force it.
There was an opt out. It was up to parents to choose
Always.

Straight up out and out lies are not going to help your cause.
Perry is better than Romney in being an economic and social conservative. Whereas Palin supported the carbon tax and trading scheme to run with McLame, Perry would never do that.
He is also a big time borderless global power guy and pro-invasion advocate. Whereas he charges American students from Arizona out of state tutition, he charges foreigners who have illegally invaded the nation in-state tutition.
SCP, your constant whining has a lot more to do with Perry’s polling than with the Perry posters. Read ‘em and weep, or just give it to Romney guy. Nobody but you, and the Austin Left, would get so whacked out with the Texas triumph under Rick’s ten. Get over it. It looks like it’s him, or Romney, or third party. Take your own choice, genius. You don’t like it, tough. Anybody else got an Exhibit A like Texas to run on? Who would that be? Any other governor with ten years of that kind of fiscal success, during a recession, with the load of immigration Texas carries is going to get the credit and regardless how you squeal about it, it’s alreadyhappening with Perry and he’s still on the porch. You don’t like him getting credit but he’s got it, he’s going to keep it and it’s going national, IF he EVER gets off the porch. Go bleed somewhere else. We’re moving on.
Sorry I don’t want another Texas Republican president in the whitehouse calling me a “nativist” and insinuating I’m racist because I believe our immigration laws should be followed.
It will be pleasurable to see his head explode when Sarah Palin is out campaigning for Perry during the 2012 election season.

LOL. The bot knots are a phenomenon, and that’s the kindest way to put it. Long on obnoxious and short on reality. At first it was stunning, then it was sad, but now it’s become a pathology study.
.
Texas allows parents to opt out of inoculations by filing an affidavit stating that he or she objected to the vaccine for religious or philosophical reasons.

I don’t appreciate being called a liar.
Your rudeness and name calling gains you nothing but diminished credibility.
.
WHAT have other states done?? (with the exception of AZ Ok and Ga)
What have other candidates stated that they would do?
What has Sarah stated she would do?
What is Backmann’s plan?
What did Reagan do?
http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2008/jan/06/rudy-giuliani/yep-reagan-did-the-a-word/
President Ronald Reagan was the first president in history to grant amnesty to illegal aliens. On November 6, 1986, he signed into law the Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA) of 1986, [PUB L 99-603]. In so doing, he set a precedent whereby the United States would not seek to deport illegal aliens, but to reward their lawbreaking by granting them full citizenship.
NEWSFLASH! None of them are going to do much.
We have to take the best of the lot.
Perry wants passage of a measure requiring every person arrested to be run through the federal immigration databases as part of the Secure Communities program. He also wants to provide the state Department of Public Safety with the authority to make sure someone is in the U.S. legally before issuing a driver’s license.
>These measures, along with a ban on sanctuary cities, would “provide a clear message that Texas will not turn a blind eye to those breaking our laws,” Perry said in a statement.
“Texas owes it to the brave law enforcement officials, who put their lives on the line every day to protect our families and communities, to give them the discretion they need to adequately do their jobs,” Perry said.

>Gov. Perry has made numerous requests of the federal govt. to enforce the border in Texas including handing President Obama a letter in person when he landed in Dallas last year.
(Obama insulted governor Perry when he turned away and Perry had to hand the letter on the illegals issue to presidential adviser Valerie Jarrett. Obama declined to personally accept it.)
>Gov. Perry refuses to meet/greet Obama in May 2011 at El Paso during his Texas tour.
Perry later declared, “If he wanted to meet, I was in Austin.
>Perry signed into law photo ID required before voting.
Perry has done the best he can with a state fulll of Mexicans and ‘Rats fighting him every step of the way.
It’s amazing that he’s been elected at all!
He has stated that it is the job of the federal government to secure the bosrder.
He has begged for troops to be sent to our borders.
I believe if he were elected POTUS that he would do this.
We have to forget this nit picking a run a man with a strong record of creating jobs and growing the economy. THIS is what’s going to beat Obama!
.
Perry’s very strong on prolife and profamily issues. He has always backed our cause in Austin.
Perry sent state troops sent to the border, petitioned until we got 2 unmanned drones and the National Guard assistance, and a trial that hasn’t worked out as well as hoped - the video surveillance.
There are National Guard troops on the Border. Perry has repeatedly asked for more and recently won approval for the 1200 (we only got about 250) that have been deployed to stay longer.
from a year ago: http://www.texastribune.org/texas-mexico-border-news/texas-mexico-border/national-guard-arrives-in-texas-aug-1/
The result of the Governor alerting the Texas Republican Congressman about Obama’s plan to remove the National Guard after less than 6 months: http://washingtonexaminer.com/local/2010/11/texas-republicans-protest-plan-move-national-guard-troops-border
News from last month about the extension: http://blog.chron.com/txpotomac/2011/06/president-obama-extends-national-guard-deployments-in-texas/
More on the Texas Rangers on the border
http://blog.chron.com/texaspolitics/2009/09/border-objects-to-perry-texas-rangers-security-plan-federal-fence-to-cost-6-5-billion/
And then, as to the border cameras, it appears that may have been an experiment that hasn’t worked out as well as hoped. http://www.texastribune.org/texas-mexico-border-news/border-cameras/border-cameras-produce-little-in-two-years/ The Legislature refused to give the program funding and some sheriffs refused to use them when Perry found more limited funding.
The Texas Legislature gave the Governor the power that he exercised as the head of the Executive Branch: the power to regulate the Medical Board and the Department of State Health Services. The Legislature has passed law as recently as 2003 that allows the Department and Board to add vaccines as they deem them necessary.
The Governor’s language is strong in promoting the parental right to opt out and orders the Department to make the “opt out” provision available on the Internet. Currently, parents have to make a request in writing for an affidavit, which has to be notarized and then delivered to the Department - eventually the Department mails the exemption to the parent. (Can you imagine? There’s no way we could have ever managed to get parental consent forms this complicated or the process so convoluted for abortions.) The Governor’s language would make the process easier.
Governor Perry’s Executive Order: http://www.governor.state.tx.us/divisions/press/exorders/rp65
Lie. His executive order mandated it.
There was an opt out.
Yes. As you said you needed to file legal paperwork, an affidavit, same as all other mandatory vaccinations.
It was up to parents to choose
Lie. Parents were forced to participate unless they took extraordinary measures. It was not an opt in program.
Also when Perry's order was overturned by the Republican legislature Perry basically called them murderers. Saying future deaths from this sexually transmitted disease were now on their head.
Again it does your cause no good to lie or mislead on this issue. This is FR where people will look for the documented facts, (which I have just provided and many others have as well), to make their judgement.
So you would prefer that democrats Sanchez, Bell, or White would have defeated Perry as governor of Texas?
Maybe Kay Bailey Hutchinson in a primary?
read #77 you’re misinformed.
