Perry: ‘Stand up’ and ‘stop apologizing’

“Otherwise it will pretty much be too late to put together the required national organization and fund-raising operation, plus take care of all the federal and state legal requirements, plan out a campaign, set up speaking engagements, and so on.”

..that is unless you’ve already been planning, organizing, stumping for candidates in the mid-terms, putting together PACs, etc. in the two years since the miserable wretches stabbed you in the back, attacked your family, and forced you to resign your state elective office using legal blackmail.

Thanks for that information.

It could be Perry/Rubio.

Palin will monitor and keep them on track. Rubio is definately more conservative than Perry.

What you said is good, but the Gardisil issue is not a deal-breaker at all. The Mandatory Vaccination issue has been around since the 1700s and it hardly splits along liberal-conservative lines.

Perry sounds like a 2012 candidate in New Orleans -- Perry condemns regulations, arrogance of Washington [excerpt] NEW ORLEANS, June 18 (Reuters) - Texas Governor Rick Perry looked and sounded like a White House contender on Saturday, delivering a fiery condemnation of President Barack Obama and Washington to a crowd of Republican activists chanting "Run, Rick, Run."

[snip]

STANDING OVATION

Perry, who took over as governor in Texas when George W. Bush moved to the White House and is in his fourth term, said social conservatives have been too quick to surrender in battles over abortion rights and other hot-button issues.

"It saddens me when sometimes my fellow Republicans duck for cover under pressure from the left," he said.

A staunch critic of federal power and regulations, he also said that Washington would never give up power until "the American people get up and demand reform."

The crowd of curious activists gave Perry a standing ovation, and many chanted "Run, Rick, Run." [end excerpt]

....the Gardisil issue is not a deal-breaker at all. The Mandatory Vaccination issue has been around since the 1700s and it hardly splits along liberal-conservative lines.

It was always optional. But now it isn't set up for mass use either.

[Cobra64]

It could be Perry/Rubio.

Nope. Rubio would not meet Constitutional requirements.

[RVN Airplane Driver]

The liars that keep bringing up the Guardisil issue makes one wonder if they would change their views if the got a good dose of cervical cancer in their families...nahh most of them wouldn’t...they would blame it on the “Easter Bunny”..

The other vaccines, which are no longer enforced were targeted to all kids, not just females. If you are going to use big government it would always be good to have no financial stake in the outcome personally.

Perry oppposed the Arizona immigration law too. He was one that refused to have the conference in Arizona.

He is electable, but he is not conservative. People will make up that he is, but he really is not.

If it is him against Obama, I will have to vote for him, but it won’t be a vote that advances conservatism at all. Very sad.

Conservataives are actively working to destroy conservatives, so I guess this is what we will get. Yee hah!

[Cincinatus' Wife]

".....Perry repeatedly brought an audience of hundreds of Republican activists to their feet with a small government message reminiscent of the one that helped him win an unprecedented third term as governor last November. Perry said there is "too much spending, too much interfering and too much apologizing" in Washington.

"Stand up!," Perry thundered. "Let's speak with pride about our morals and our values and redouble our effort to elect more conservative Republicans. Let's stop this American downward spiral!"....

......He listed a simple four-point recipe for a health economy: "don't spend all the money," keep taxes low, maintain a fair and predictable regulatory climate, and reform the legal system to prevent frivolous lawsuits. Source

....Perry oppposed the Arizona immigration law too....

And how is that AZ immigration law working for AZ?

There's more than one way to skin a cat.

Reuters: [excerpt] "Perry, in Mexico with a Texan trade mission seeking opportunities in areas like renewable energy, said the federal government’s plan to build a wall along much of the border to keep out illegal immigrants was “idiocy.”

“We need those individuals to continue to grow our economy,” Perry told a briefing with reporters.

Not sure what you were attempting to accomplish with those posts.

Seems like it just furthers and cements the idea that Perry is an Open-Borders traitor to conservatism.

[SoConPubbie]

And how is that AZ immigration law working for AZ?

There's more than one way to skin a cat.

Once again, what is your point?

Perry, an open-borders advocate, did nothing, AZ got an excellent Law across, confirmed by the US Supreme Court, which led to 10's of thousands of Illegals, by some report, self vacating Arizona immediately after passage of the Law.

Again, what is your point?

[Cincinatus' Wife]

Hi Pubbie you left off the last paragraph. I'm not sure what you're attempting to accomplish by editing Rick Perry's statement. I'll repeat it below.

Post #10 “If you show up illegally, without your card or you’re here as a criminal element, I’m for throwing the book at those folks, but the issue of people who want to legally, thoughtfully and appropriately come to America to work and help us build our economy — we should quickly come up with a program and an identification card to do that.” [end excerpt]

[Cincinatus' Wife]

Again, what is your point?

Again: See Post #10.

[mylife]

I think he is head and shoulders above a lot of folks.
He is the antithesis of Obama.

Texas has a huge hispanic population.
Just because Perry recognizes that does not make him pro illegal immigration.

I got no problem with the guy legally running the carneceria, but have a rope for the medijin cartel SOBs.

Perry is pretty much the same.

Love him or hate him, this guy knows how to tackle difficult social problems and he never stifled the economy in doing it.

[Clara Lou]

Talk is cheap. Really cheap.

Get ready for amnesty. The cat has already been skinned.
