Rick Perry may not be bulletproof on immigration

Right.

There’s PDS and BDS...and now there’s Perry Derangement Syndrome. Except now, it’s from “conservatives”.

You’ll notice a few posters on every. single. Perry thread. Vociferous and predictable.

No, I don’t agree with everything he’s done. But he’s kicked ass here in Texas. The naysayers on this board (if they’re from Texas) are in the minority. They’re just loud.

There’s a LOT of Perry supporters who recognize him for what he is, warts and all...and would still rather have him than most of the field that’s announced. At least he’s a man’s man...a lover of this country and a supporter of states’ rights.

Perfect? No. Show me your guy and I’ll show you his flaws, too.

This “....Texans threw him out of office...” crap is sickening, especially on a board and from people who despise the progressiv’es MO of exaggeration and lying.

Perry didn’t run. What do you mean, Texans threw him out of office?

And to those who fuss and fume about him: Who would you have voted for? Wendy Davis?

Every day one can read about some great thing that’s happened in Texas. It didn’t just happen. And if you want to give sole credit to a congress that meets every two years, well bless your little heart.

Perry’s terrific. And I love Cruz, too. Maybe more. But Perry’s not as he’s painted on this forum. And I get sick of reading it.

[Nervous Tick...none of this is directed at you.]

Texas tax-payers did not even know then-Gov Perry was showering illegals w/ tax dollars---until the 2008 prez debate---when Perry glowered at Repubs....and said we were "heartless" b/c we opposed-in-state tuition.

THEN-GOV PERRY ADRESSES LA RAZA

PERRY SUCKS-UP LIKE NO MAN BEFORE HIM Perry showered gave illegals w/ benefits, including tax dollars to overthrow the US govt.

REFERENCE--Subversive Texas Textbooks---distributed nationwide--- vilify conservative groups;

Breitbart Texas | 09/10/2014 | Merrill Hope / FR Posted by Rusty0604

In 2006, uber-liberal "Texas Rising" stated its mission: "developing an emerging generation of social justice-minded, informed and engaged leaders is essential to the long-term health of our communities and the development of progressive public policy in Texas."

...a sneak peak at the preliminary Social Studies textbook found including distortions, omissions and half-truths all passing for accurate high school US history...

And there's this gem: "The radical right consists of groups that sometimes gather under the flag of militant anticommunism. Often known as reactionaries, they denounce most forms of government regulation, including progressive taxation and restrictions and industry.Examples of political groups on the radical right are the John Birch Society, the National States & Rights party, The Christian Crusade, and the Tea Party movement."

Strangely enough, these cream puff radicals who abhor police power would not hesitate to use government police power to enforce the changes they desire.

=============================================

THIRD WORLD INFILTRATION College Board exams changed history answers... revisionist historians developed different answers to the question of what America’s story is about. From their perspective, at the heart of our country’s history—like the history of any other powerful nation—lies the pursuit of empire, of dominion over others. At its core, say the revisionists, America’s history is about our capacity for self-delusion, our endless attempts to justify raw power grabs with pretty fairy-tales about democracy. ....

NOTE WELL: This terrifying Third World revisionism is straight out of Third World textbooks---emphasizing the T/W effort to undermine US ntl security for the coming armed takeover.

The conniving T/W uses an ancient formula going back to Greco-Roman times---where savages, barbarians and thieves overrun a bountiful country lusting after its power and riches.

REFERENCE--- Some 10 years back, Texas schools started used Mexican textbooks for their backward illiterate Spanish-speaking students. Texas textbooks advocated the Mexican perspective including:

<><> anti-white, anti-capitalist anti-USA viewpoints;

<><> Mexican textbooks falsified US history,

<><> proselytized blood-thirsty La Raza savagery;

<><> using teaching as brainwashing;

<><> inculcating violent separatist, latino supremacy idealogy.

Here's Senor Perry protecting US borders....and US ntl security (/snix).

Then-Gov Perry receives a serape from Mexican Gov
Enrique Martinez of Coahuila, as a token of appreciation
for enacting the Texican Dream Act....and in-statue tuition.

>> none of this is directed at you

Understood.

The trouble, as I see it, is that Rick Perry is inept at *running* for POTUS. However, IMHO, given his years of executive experience, he’d make a good POTUS in practice. Probably a better POTUS than our other quasi-”native son” who shall go nameless but it starts with a W. ;-)

[Grams A]

I have tried to find contractors for some minor home repairs who do not have illegals or Spanish speaking employees. Almost impossible to find. Wish it were not so.

[bobby.223]

But, but, but Liz you are HEARTLESS!!!!! Are you blind!? Will ya just look at his HAIR!!!!! And he likes GUNS!!! And COWBOY BOOTS!!! And his new Marie Harf ‘look how cool I think I am’ GLASSES!!! What a guy Senor LaRaza Ricarrdo Perrynista is! Hmmm....let’s see......Friends to all things illegal and muslim! Bought and paid for tool for/of the NWO globalists! Hillary Clinton’s biggest fanboy! (Now who here does not just loooooove Hillary Clinton’s work as Secretary of State?!) Isn’t he great!!!?

[Chasaway]

I agree that he WAS inept at *running*...

This is a smart, savvy guy.

Tell the truth, after last time, I wondered at the balls of this guy thinking he could get up there and run again. To run again after he smashed it up so horribly last time...

I give him credit for being one of the best retail politicians I’ve read/heard about. And he ain’t stupid.

So, I imagine he knows more than I do about the hill he’s got to climb.

I wonder what he’s got in his goody bag that makes him believe he can become a real contender.

And I really want to see it.

I was with him before. And I’m looking forward to see if he’s as canny as I give him credit for.

Tell you what...there’s nobody running that has the shoulders he has and the hair on his chest that Perry has.

How many governors have shot a coyote with their carry pistol just to protect their dog?!

That’s damned near mythical for a pol.

[Grams A]

and said we were “heartless” b/c we opposed-in-state tuition.”

And now Perry is gone as is Dewhurst yet their replacements weren’t able to get a bill stopping in-state tuition and sanctuary cities brought up for a vote in this year’s session. Can anyone say Strauss and the Chamber of Commerce?

[Nervous Tick]

Not saying that Reagan and Perry are plug-compatible... but note that Reagan failed, got up, dusted off, learned from his mistakes, tried again, and succeeded.

The truly good ones have the ability and the perseverance to do that.

Blessings on him, whatever he chooses to do. He's a good man.

[Nervous Tick]

>> Can anyone say Strauss and the Chamber of Commerce?

Yeah, although I don’t call him “Strauss” and I don’t call them the “Chamber of Commerce”. I use different terms... but I don’t want to get banned so I’ll keep them to myself.

OMG-—I forget the HAIR—and the fuzzy campaign crotch shots.

I’m kneeling in a corner....doing penance.

[Liz]

True-—but Gov Abbott was able to STOP Obama’s deportation scam.

[South40]

OMG-—I forget the HAIR—and the fuzzy campaign crotch shots.

Apparently La Raza Rick's chest hair is something to be worshipped also. See post 26.

lol!

[South40]

But, but, but Liz you are HEARTLESS!!!!! Are you blind!? Will ya just look at his HAIR!!!!! And he likes GUNS!!!

Yes, he likes guns. And he uses those guns shoots coyotes to protect his dogs, or so I have read. Apparently, and in the minds of the perry faithful, that makes him some kind of super politician.

I live on 3.5 acres adjacent to 1680 acres of designated open space. Beyond that is Mexico. I have been here since 1991, and in that time I have had the unfortunate cause to shoot many a coyote. Never have I considered it an accomplishment or something to brag about. But then, silly me; I have never been impressed by chest hair either.

[bobby.223]

WTF???!!!! Now that HAS to be a joke!!!! NOBODY is that damn goofy enough to say something like that in seriousness! Then again the muslim and illegal lover Rickeeeee does have his fans! (Now Hillary Clinton has a real problem regarding her biggest fan Rickeeee: Does she still heart Huma’s pubes...or switch to Rickeeee’s chest hair!!!)

[South40]

But, but, but...Perry is a great man!

Really!

[fieldmarshaldj]

I just choked on my cereal.

[bobby.223]

I wonder who had the ‘I think I look so smart in these’ glasses first....Marie Harf or the good Senor Rickista? Now, chest hair? Well, maybe Rickista has Marie whipped on that one! (I wonder what Rickista thinks about his great pal Hillary Clinton’s chest hair?!)

[South40]

lol! Mrs. 40 asked if the Perrybot would be impressed with Hillary's chest hair also.

That chest hair post is a keeper!

Saving for future reference.

[MrEdd]

What office is Trans Texas Corridor Graft boy holding now?

[Grams A]

I, too, have other names for Strauss and the Chamber. I do try to refrain from using what my grandson calls “grandma language” some of the time though.

Perry did many good things while he was Governor, particularly when compared to other states. However, he was, IMO, way left on issues dealing with illegals - in-state tuition, funding social welfare programs such as healthcare, education (lots of ESL classes added), food stamps, and housing and allowing businesses to hire illegals rather than American citizens.

The jury is still out on the issue of ever increasing property taxes for homeowners and I have asked my local Senator and Representative - who both are insurance agents - for a financial report on the Wind Insurance fund. Both continue to escalate beyond belief and my property taxes and mandatory wind insurance premium total more than my house payment.
