Indeed. I love Sarah and have since the first time I laid eyes on her. But, her ignorant trolls have so turned me off that if she enters now, I won’t support her any more.

Not a fan of anybody here, but an observer: Your support of Sarah Palin was never more than an inch deep, was it? I pity the fool you eventually come out for.

[Niteflyr]

I call for a high level of CIVILITY on FR before another purge of it's fine members occurs.

Yes we have to remember even with our differences we (most of us anyway) are on the same side. This habit of using terms like "ignorant trolls" for someone who prefers another candidate is not helping anyone. I will stick to "Palin supporter" or Perry supporter" and I suggest we all do the same....

Looks like she is also a doctor! Twofer Laz!

[Cyber Liberty]

Since this entire thread is a response to another thread, and you didn’t even bother to ping the original poster (you “forgot”), I have to ask if your medical specialty is cheap shots?

Thanks for your great post!

For those interested in seeing Perry in rare form, check out the video of this talk he gave to a small gathering in Midland, Texas:

http://m.youtube.com/index?desktop_uri=%2F&gl=US#/watch?v=6Nbvnci1MRY

Perry discusses the Tea Party, immigration, and Obama’s imposition of socialism. He gave this talk right after last November’s elections.

Also see this interview in which Perry discusses the Tea Party, the income tax, Medina and KBH:

The interview took place during last year’s gubinatorial campaign (and was conducted, I believe, by Freeper Annaz).

The latest anti-Perry meme seems to be that if you truly are for the Tea Party, you MUST take a stand against Perry. Support for Rick Perry and support for the Tea Party are allegedly incompatible. Watch the videos, and decide for yourselves.

Let's stick to the basics. 1. I maintain Perry has less in common with we ordinary Texans than with Wall Street types. Who constitutes his staff? Ordinary Texans or corporate types? He sure did didn't seem to give a damn as he sidled up to Cintra and the TTC. Or did I miss something? 2. Fine. The governor proposed property tax relief. How much has he been able to see adopted? 3. When I say he 'talks tough,' I was referring particularly to his views on the border and illegal immigration. 4. A whole million on border security? What's that cover? Ten salaries? 5. Rick Perry's book "Fed Up" was written in preparation for this very campaign. We can dispense with it on that basis alone as relatively recent policy positions, so let's not get too excited about anything he or the Newt said there, k? 6. The governor cares so much about first responders that he diverted funds intended for 9-1-1 to balancing the budget, rather than to the ear-marked statutory requirements for which all phone subscribers are charged a fee.s See page 4 of this document, under the heading "Commission on State Emergency Communications": Document In short, funds collected for a specific purpose are being diverted to other uses. This is much like what's happened with the so-called Social Security trust Fund in DC, isn't it? 7. In the end, in a tepid concession to the facts, you admit not all of his 'experiments' have succeeded. Wow. Thanks.

Same way I'm beginning to feel about Perry supporters ...especially those who use name-calling towards anyone who counters them...

How about Perry supporters who lead with a Palin insult on a pro Perry thread?

My first choice is Sarah Palin. Failing that, at this time, I could vote for Perry. I'd like to learn more about him. Should Romney be our candidate, I'm writing in Lazamataz.

[Grizzled Bear]

I'd like to apologize for any Perry supporter who might of called you a name or any other negative remark. That is uncalled for from any political supporter.

Well said!

Every candidate is going to have a few mouth breathing half wits polluting our threads. If we're going to have to deal with them, we might as well have fun mocking them.

[wolfcreek]

LOL! Indeed!

Dear Hoc:

Under Texas Law (See Constitution, Article III, Section 49a and 49j and Article VIII, Section 6 & 7), Texas is limited as to how much debt it can acquire that is NOT self-satisfying.

If we need a major road, and the general funds are not available, a toll must pay for it.

[hocndoc]

You “forgot” that I did ping him on the other thread.

1000 words with links and quotes of concrete, real-time sources is not a “cheap shot.”

[right way right]

“I’d like to apologize for any Perry supporter who might of called you a name or any other negative remark. That is uncalled for from any political supporter.”

I can appreciate that.

Unlike the DEMS and the MSM, we do vet our candidates.

Even though Perry is not my guy right now, it would sure be a good thing to be able to vote for him (if he is nominated) and not have to feel like I did the day I voted for McCain.

[hocndoc]

Thankfully, our leader said that purges are “Not gonna happen” and that we need to “lighten up.”

Thanks for the information. I know we have to plan to spend no more than we plan to take in, but didn’t know about the limits on total debt. In addition, the Texas Regional Transportation Mobility boards and the ability to issue bonds was part of the Constitutional amendments in 2001.

[hocndoc]

thanks for the information, again. I found this confirmation when looking up your data.

Thanks for the explanation on Barret Law.

Funny how things work out. The “Conman-style” politicians believe that people judge them by what they say.

The reality is that taxpayers judge all politicians by what they do.

The problem is that 51 % of voters do not pay any taxes.

[muawiyah]

The problem is you only imagine ANYONE doesn't pay taxes. There's nothing in this life more certain than death and taxes.

Sean Hannity is POd because about half the folks who have to file a federal income tax return don't owe any federal personal income taxes.

That was Ronald Reagan's plan.

Real Conservatives are against the federal personal income tax.

[muawiyah]

Remember that Segway ad where everybody had this bizarre grin? Those were actually early Perry acolytes.

[muawiyah]

“mouth breathing” is peculiarly a LEFTWINGTARD appellation. Why do you think you can get away with it on FR?

[muawiyah]

There are states ~ e.g. California and Illinois ~ who regularly issue bonds to cover state operating expenses. Other states sell bonds to finance specific projects. Yet other states isolate specific projects and levy a tax on the beneficiaries.

There are a great number of legal schemes that've been developed over the years to both enable the sale of bonds and also to isolate the government from having to pay those bonds if something goes wrong.

The Barrett law (mentioned earlier) is about the most restrictive method. It's used in Indiana, and in Germany and Denmark under a different name. Some of the former Eastbloc states may have also revived it.

The USPs debt is restricted to USPS activities ~ and works pretty much as a mortgage against buildings and equipment. It's close to the second most restrictive system.

Most other systems are a combination of general revenue bonds, mortgages, and special user fees (in this country).

Politicians have developed an immense repetoire of BS to flim-flam the public about the nature of the public debt.
