Don't like Perry? How about promoting your candidates positives?
8/27/11 | Listenhillary

Posted on 08/27/2011 7:00:28 PM PDT by listenhillary

We are adults and most on FR are very intelligent persons. I think we can decide if a candidate is right for us.

How about stop repeating the same Gardasil, Texas corridor, immigration stories over and over and over. Most have seen them by now if they have been paying attention. Most have judged the stories and condemn Perry to hell for them or they think that a president just might have different priorities than a state governor.

Screaming at us in all caps isn't going to change any minds. FR isn't the entire universe of voters. We are a very small pool of voters. If you're hell bent on trashing a candidate, it is likely that your efforts are wasted trying to persuade FR posters to change their minds about a candidate. Start standing out by the road with a sign telling your horror stories, pestering people in restaurants and buying billboards and advertising in newspapers and TV. You will have much more impact.

If you insist on cherry picking the negatives, can we do the same to you reviewing every decision and action that you have taken in your life? How would that work out for you? Honestly showing everything you have done, could you withstand the scrutiny?

I realize some of you insist that we are making a horrible mistake. The primary isn't until next year. Stop screaming. OK?

Perry also fought years for and finally won voter photo id requirements to prevent illegals (and others committing fraud) from voting.

And that was only because someone on another thread called him a DU troll. I don't know if he is or isn't.

Hence the ":)"

So it's OK for Perry to quit and lie, but not for Palin to quit for the good of her state.

Nice double-standard ya got there, Skippy.

I don’t know much about Perry, I wish people were a lot more vocal and talkative about his shortcomings and strengths.

It’s kind of disturbing seeing someone to tell people to put aside their criticisms of someone, as if they should put aside their core beliefs and principles.

If folks have strong reservations about any candidate, speak up and loudly! Now is the time! We are adults, we can sort out for ourselves what is true.

We don’t need someone big on cheerleading, pretending candidates need coddling when the libs are about to do a million times worse to them.

Look at what happened with Obama, people who asked questions were told to shut up, the media didn’t vet him, and they had huge worshipful cheerleading rallies.

Rather not see the republicans embrace that sort of thing.

Why not apparently you think that being an illegal immigrant codling, Gardsil imposing nanny stater, that uses eminent domain to enrich foreign nations is a positive.

I don’t think these people realizing that they are turning more people away from Palin with their deranged Ron Paulish “I WIN THE DEBATE” tactics.

I just hope Perry makes a point of fumigating the White House before he moves in. Maybe get one of those big orange termite tents to cover the entire place while it’s degreased.

If you don’t let them in to begin with then such laws are not needed. See his stance RE: AZ.

You should follow the advice of your tagline.

You should concern yourself more with your favorite team.....

He just wants to Mock Perry for having religion.

I do? Palin has religion. So does Cain. I do believe they came to Jesus for reasons other than furthering a political career.

I’ve put the offer up numerous times for someone to take apart this research. No one has yet done so. It explains the reasoning behind Rick Perry’s most controvesial issues and criticisms. The author doesn’t assume or agree with everything he has done. It’s a little more in depth than the strictly hit and run bloggers.

Take it apart. Go ahead.

1. Thaliminide.Does that answer you, as to why most people are furious over the mandated Gardisil inoculations to your satisfaction? If not, you can take your ignorant opinions straight to hell.
2. Texas corridor-Please, nobody wants Mexican trucks, or drivers, driving on highways everywhere in the USA, including most Texans.
3. Does Perry (and you) really think Mexican citizens illegally living in the USA have a “human right” to procure free public education, health care, housing and food benefits, paid for by the taxpaying citizens of Texas, and the rest of the USA? Really?

Chill out?
Are you stuck on stupid?

Yet he still found time to give speeches at La Raza conferences.
