Question about Rick Perry
Thurston

Posted on 08/13/2011 9:04:47 PM PDT by ThurstonHowell3

I really like what I'm HEARING from Rick Perry from his speeches and I liked his famous prayer from a few days ago. He has the appearence of what I WANT from a presidential candidate.

But I am concerned about some of the questions being raised about his record not on immigration but on ILLEGAL immigration.

I would appreciate some feedback from those who know more about his record with SOURCES to substantiate them (good or bad).

For instance, I've HEARD people say that he attended Bilderberg 2007. I'm not one who has much knowledge on "Bilderbergers", Tri-lateral Commission Illuminati and all of those topics often discussed by so-called "conspiracy theorists". But I don't dismiss them, especially in these days when yesterdays "conspiracy theory" seems to be today's reality.

More than ever I am not ready to believe anyone just because they say the right things and have a form of godliness. Cultists all do that well and are very compelling. I want to know more about his ACTIONS and history.

Thanks for your feedback in advance.

Governors in Texas are merely figureheads. They are paper signers and speech makers.

You continue to say:

the TX gov's, i.e., Perry, have no power on the one hand, while...

blaming all the world's problems on Perry on the other.

Consequentley, you have no credibility! You don't make a lot of sense because you can't have it both ways!

If everybody who ever claimed they didn't want to be POTUS, before throwing their hat into the ring, was eliminated from running, we would rarely have candidates.

It's more common than not...excluding John Heinz Kerry, of course. :)

There are a lot of people on here saying that we should overlook Perry’s soft on immigration and Islam stance, because he could appeal to the independents.

Isn’t that what they said about McCain?

Talk is cheap for politicians, around election time.

I believe Herman Cain when he says he understands the border MUST be secure, it can be done, and he will do it.

Our founders gave us liberty, the politicians stole it with the 16th amendment, and income tax.

The Fair Tax is the only way to take power back from Washington, and give it back to the people.

Cain has supported the Fair Tax for years, and I believe he could at least get tax reform, and probably the Fair Tax, eventually.

I trust Herman Cain to be who he says he is, and to work for the American people.

While Perry is having his Tea Party talk about immigration, how about including the Fair Tax?

So based on the quote you provided, Perry’s statement is a bit weasly. He sort of redefined “open border,” giving him a chance to placate both sides.

Very Clintonesque, if you ask me.

I’m assuming you’re balancing your sanity between lies and ignorance about Governor Palin.

If this is true, then for the sake of your sanity, do not check into Governor Palin’s true record.

If it’s not true and your sanity is firmly grounded, here are some threads about her record:

It was a hypothetical statement.

In other words, he didn’t take a stand on either side but instead said something hypothetical that would sort of make both sides happy.

I disagree. The use of hypotheticals is a common way of arguing for a given point of view. In this case, as the governor said, Mexico needs to make its conditions such that people don’t feel compelled to cross.

Once again, please point out where you quoted that from any of my posts, Last Word Lonestar.

Yes, that is what they said about McCain. It’s getting old isn’t it? I don’t know that he is week on illegals but if he is, it is unacceptable.
