As usual you want to trot out that very pitifully poor comparison. Reagan was a right of center (arch) conservative before and after his party change. On the other hand Perry was and still is a left of center liberal.
Your RINOs are still the same old RINOs they ever were when we needed to use them in the South to break the hold the Democrats had on the entire region.
If your boy Perry supported Hillary-KKKare, we not only don't want him, we can't afford him.
Those other politicians are not in the running for the top slot under the Republican label ~ nor will they be if it’s found out they supported Hillary-KKKare.
Currently you are hearing the nuttier of the Imams telling folks that once they take over they will impose Sharia, and eliminate democracy. That right there ought to justify putting a bullet right between their eyes of course. At the same time it should justify a clause in the requirements for immigration concerning SUPPORTING THE AMERICAN FORM OF LAW AND GOVERNMENT and RENOUNCING ALL OTHER FORMS OF LAW AND GOVERNMENT.
Just modify the McCarren Act again.
We could use something similar when it comes to admitting Mexican government officials as "refugees". Remember, they have to take oaths that require antagonism against the Catholic Church. Not that I particularly care if anyone is antagonistic or not, but it's the oath part. The Mexican government agents trying to flee to the US should be required to RENOUNCE any such oaths ~ implied or actual.
BTW, Condo was pro-abortion. I’d never voted for her appointment.
The core element of the proposed plan was an enforced mandate for employers to provide health insurance coverage to all of their employees through competitive but closely-regulated health maintenance organizations.
Opposition to the plan was heavy from conservatives, libertarians, and the health insurance industry.
"He is not "in favor of HillaryCare," he's writing as Ag Comm to Hillary at the start of her healthcare task force telling her to consider the needs and problems of farmers, rangers and rural communities as she proceeds."
Perry's first sentence is:
I think your efforts in trying to reform the nation's health care system are most commendable.
His next to last sentence is:
Again, your efforts are worthy, and I hope you will remember this constituency as the task force progresses.
It's true that he is talking about the problems of rural communities, but I also see where he calls her plan "commendable" and "worthy". I see no sign of opposition to the plan.
Good point. Add to that a wave of Ds taking local offices in 2008.
Let me point this out to you one MORE TIME VERY CLEARLY! Ronald Reagan was a democrat HEAVILY into supporting FDR’s New Deal...he admitted it and he stated it, whether YOU like it or not he was a DEMOCRAT! He was a spokesperson for freaking GE! He was the director of the Screen Actors Guild for 20 years as a DEMOCRAT. His first wife, Jane Wyman divorced him because of his political positions.
Rick Perry was a CONSERVATIVE democrat from the day he entered politics. He was a member of the budget committee pushing austerity policies, even then. He never stopped being a CONSERVATIVE democrat until the Texas Trial Lawyers drummed him out of the party for supporting Tort Reform BECAUSE of his conservative stances. He switched parties, just like Ronald Reagan did BECAUSE he is in fact a conservative and always has been.
He did NOT support HillaryCare, he said it was a ‘commendable’ effort, but his focus was on access to health care by rural communities, which is a huge concern to Texas since it’s 100 miles between major hospitals and clinics.
So you can STUFF your RINO BS krap democratic bucket of horse manure and suck it.
He was NEVER elected to public office as a Democrat.
His only foray into electoral politics was as a Republican.
I find it peculiar that so many Texans have such difficulty figuring out the difference between elected officials and voters, and between Republicans and Democrats.
Were you aware that Ronaldus Magnus had been a member of the Christian Church, just like Lyndon Baines Johnson?
Back in the days when Democrats were assassinating or lynching everybody in the South who tried to run for office as a Republican (30,000 dead eh) the only way we could keep the Republican party going was to find younger Democrats who wanted to advance faster than the party bosses wanted.
They'd have to have already been elected to office because that pretty much made them immune from being murdered, but the deal was they had to caucus with the Republican party in the state legislature.
Eventually we broke the Democrat hold on the "Solid South".
It wasn't about Conservative policies ~ it was about Republican Party!
Now we don't need RINOs ~ galvanized Democrats if you wish.
That was pretty well known right from the get-go.
The business about putting Vets at the end of the line after welfare people has never been particularly popular. That a veteran like Perry would "commend" such an effort raises some serious questions about all sorts of things.
I've noticed that on the threads I've seen, they have made more excuses for his non-conservative actions than Obama has for his failed policies.
That’s what I’m saying.
If they’re so proud of things like Texas windmills, why aren’t they bragging them up in new threads?
Hell obviously they should be proud that Perry’s communications director is married to Romney’s chief fundraiser in Texas.
Whatever shall we do?
First, you are wrong if you think that Federal subsidizing is not coming from tax payer dollars. Perhaps you think that only Texans aren't paying for this?
Mr. Perry has also strongly backed a $5 billion project to build transmission lines to ferry power from remote West Texas to big cities. “He has been a stalwart in defense of wind energy in this state — no question about it,” said Paul Sadler, executive director of the Wind Coalition. An extra charge of up to $5 per month on Texans’ electric bills will pay for construction of the lines.
I have been a strong opponent of America's dependence on foreign oil. I've worked for the Cool Water Coal Gasification project in CA during the 80's under Reagan. I know people in CA who worked with the solar projects in CA
But Mr. Perry’s backing for renewables has limits. Solar power advocates have been frustrated by his failure to support a requirement for nonwind renewables, which both the Legislature and the Public Utility Commission (whose commissioners Mr. Perry appoints) have considered but not acted on. Asked why Mr. Perry supported one requirement but not another, Mr. Miner said that the earlier policy “created a system to incent the development of the most economic renewable generation, which for our state was wind.” He added, “If you mandate a specific technology, you run the risk of getting stuck with high costs, and such mandates have failed to pass the Legislature in the past.”

When I do a search of the most states with the most sunshine, I get AZ, CA, NV, NM and TX in that order. Why did Perry exclude solar from his alternative energy position? a previous policy? Is he the current Governor or not? Did he not get enough "incentive" from donors to pursue it?
Oh get LOST muawiya, your RINO krap is pathetic and just most lies!
Your problem is an absurd level of ignorance of the outside world. We had this problem with LBJ's people too. Like they'd been living in caves for 20 years.
Well, cavedwellers like you would lose this election and then we’d be stuck with Obama and possibly nuked by freaking Iran....so I say to you...get lost.
DEFEND YOUR POSITION.
So where’s this precious letter?
