Rick Perry Will Not Depart From His Conservative Record or Path

"Rick Perry Will Not Depart From His Conservative Record or Path" - The Real Record, The Real Man

I don’t think the American people know Gov. Rick Perry. He burst onto the national stage and seemed like a Texan, okay, a politician with some nerve, some courage, some outspokenness, who was taking on the sacred cows and telling it like it is. But the debates reversed that image...the early ones. Then there are the lies...oh so many, many MANY lies about him. Because of them, people might be forgiven for their confusion, for not knowing what to believe.

I thought about posing questions all of which start with, “Who is said to have done this or that, but in fact they did so and so instead?” -- to point out the usual points being used to confuse. For example:

Who is said to have been a Gore Democrat, but who in fact had, prior to Gore running in 1988, already voted twice for Ronald Reagan and was in fact one of the millions of Reagan Democrats?

Who did porn publisher Larry Flynt say he would pay the big bucks for information on concerning any woman that could step forward and prove she had had a sexual relationship with him, in order to smear a man who in fact married his childhood sweetheart after courting and waiting 16 years for her to say yes?

Who is said to be weak on the issue of border security and illegal immigration, but in fact has been endorsed by Sheriff Joe Arpaio and has been passed over for endorsement by Senator John “Amnesty” McCain in favor of Mitt Romney?

Who is known for saying that he found Christ at age 27, when his Christian upbringing collided with life and cemented in his being; that he was a childhood churchgoer at his mother’s insistence when she told him, "You’re going to attend one of the two church’s here, it doesn’t matter which one, but pick one...you’re going?"

But you know, some people might not understand how he was raised to be of good moral character and that he didn’t just suddenly jump up and become someone completely different. I know what he’s talking about on the conversion, but the truth is he was raised on Bible stories and morality stories about making the right choices in life for the right reasons.

People deride not only him for having been a Democrat, they are deriding his parents, grandparents and all Texans, really. And he said of his dad, recently, that his dad was a WWII tailgunner who flew in 35 missions over Hitler’s Germany in 1944. This cotton farmer was of the Greatest Generation and did us all proud. Rick said, “..it was by the grace of God that despite my dad’s dangerous missions, he returned home without so much as a scratch.”

As we know, so many did NOT come home. And his dad risked everything to defend America, and would’ve died trying if that was to be his fate.

Sorry to get worked up, but this kind of thing has kept people from truly knowing and understanding Rick Perry, and it’s straight from the Devil’s playbook. The Bible says of the Devil, he is a liar and the father of lies.

Remember the story of when his mom was sitting in the church pew and the preacher was delivering a “social gospel” sermon about all politicians being liars...social commentary instead of a Bible based message to the attendees...and she stood up and said, “My son is the Governor of Texas, and he is not a liar”? And, to the delight of the congregation, she said it again when the preacher continued, not heeding her fair warning and defense of her son.

Who is derided for being “one of the cheerleaders” at Texas A&M, but in fact held the singular title of “Yell Leader,” which was a special leadership position on campus?

Who is said to be dumb, but in fact made the rank of Eagle Scout (as has his son), graduated from Texas A&M, joined the Air Force, piloted a C-130 around the world and left with the rank of Captain?

Who is said to have spent his life as a politician in the public sector, but in fact spent 5 years in the Air Force and 8 years cotton farming on rented land, for a total of 13 career years, along with his formative boyhood years growing up on a West Texas farm?

The “la raza ricky” thing is to give the impression he is very chummy, very tight with la raza, that they’re like hand in glove, when at their invite, he gave them HIS point of view rather than pandering to their agenda.

Bilderberger...guess that’s the new world order or the one world government people, right? And all he did was go once, at their invite, never went back, was never asked back, and I heard him joke...can’t recall the venue... “They must not have liked me.”

There is so much spinning, half-truths and outright lies being put out about Rick Perry, that the mind boggles. His opponents can’t diminish his record so they try to bury and distort it, along with his good character.

In some ways, Rick Perry is damaged because people don’t have a good handle on WHO he really is. They didn’t know him, nationally, except as the Texas governor who excels at bringing in jobs.

Perry has been so gung ho to have people see and understand what has happened in Texas, and what those same policies can do for America, that perhaps he missed a key factor, that before people can put their trust in him for this highest of offices, they need to know WHO he is.

I truly believe if the American people could know and understand Rick Perry, but for the voting, this election would be over. With this information, Americans would understand where he comes from, what shaped him and be very confident that as President of the United States, he will not depart from his life-long conservative record or path in service to his country.

Come to think of it, I guess I did change my position somewhat. You’ve convinced me that the agricultural issues are not as significant as I once thought. I’ve read numerous discussions on the border fence and have never encountered the idea of canals.

I lived in AZ for several years and am aware of the extensive canal systems. It’s been a “duh!” moment for me. I can’t believe a canal system didn’t occur to me. I guess I’ve been here (TX) for so long that I’ve forgotten about such concepts.

I just recently told my kids a story about when I lived in AZ. Apparently, I said “on irrigation day.” They had no idea what that was, but after I explained it they decided it was “way cooler than our dumb old sprinkler system.”

Yes, that was the implied result of a state’s choice to deport. They must request that the feds take custody and deport the individual.

ICE blamed for Texas parolee law delayThe state has been unable to enforce a new law designed to increase the deportations of illegal immigrants from the Texas prison system amid concerns that federal immigration officials are unprepared to handle the anticipated influx of convicted criminals, state officials said.

Under the new law, which was scheduled to take effect Sept. 1, state prisoners who are granted parole and turned over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials must either be deported or leave the country voluntarily - or risk being returned to state custody to serve out the remainder of their sentences.

The law was crafted to address a vexing problem identified by the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles, which reported granting parole to some illegal immigrants and turning them over to ICE - only to later learn that they were not removed from the country, said state Rep. Jerry Madden, R-Plano.”………………..

how many liberals are as pro gun as the Governor, who would carry a pistol while running, and whip it out to shoot a coyote because he feared for his running buddy, a puppy?

If Perry were President, we could save on Secret Service costs. He would be protecting them. ;)

The problem is that the Department of Homeland Security/ Immigration and Customs Enforcement/ Department of Justice are headed by poeple who have no interest in stopping stopping invaders at the border and have much more interest in forcing Texas and other States to educate their children for 3 years (or more).
The Governor would not allow the heads of these agencies to shirk their duty and will make sure they have the mission right in the first place.

This country does not deserve a Rick Perry. That's my belief, sister. There aren't enough good people to see what's going on anymore. Thankfully there are a few on FR. Even the media is baffled why people aren't getting behind the only qualified conservative in the race - Rick Perry.

The most important words spoken in many a day were last night by Donna Brazile. "The democrats want Mitt Romney because we think he's the weakest candidate."

This group of republican/Tea Party voters are responsible for their own mess.
