Rick Perry:
1. He has done his best to sell Texas' private land to Foreign interests for the I-35 Corridor project which is sometimes called the NAFTA Super highway.
2. He also forced Texas teenage girls, by "Executive Order" to get the HPV vaccine.
3. He supports the IPPF ( International Planned Parenthood Federation). He received much praise from the Democrats for this action, and was demonized by the states Republicans for that choice.
4. Perry also receive a BIG THANK YOU from the Mexican President Vicente Fox for his "Sanctuary Citys" and giving Illegal Immigrants FREE instate tuition to Texas Universities. http://www.youtube.com/watch?f... .
So, If you want to compare Texas to the nation in the 2012 Election (because Texas is a success story right now), then run a TRUE Conservative who is the “most powerful person in Texas politics”, the Lieutenant Governor, David Dewhurst.
The only reason Rick Perry stays in office is because Texas is a Red State and he never has a strong opponent.
Not really, but I guess he'd be slightly better than Romney.
To borrow from Mark Levin, I’d vote for an orange juice can over what we’ve got in there now.
While he stands head and shoulders above Obama, I don’t want him to run.
We can do better.
I live in Texas and will not support him unless he wins the nomination and runs against the Obomination
NO

And I might add:

…Roughly 60 state lawmakers called on Perry to rescind the order. He refused. Just six weeks after Perry put pen to paper, the Texas House rebuked him on March 14, 2007, passing HB 1098, overturning his executive order by a vote of 119-21. The Senate followed suit the following month by a vote of 30-1.
Realizing both chambers had large enough majorities to override a veto, Perry opted to let the bill become law without his signature. On May 8, the day the law went into effect, Perry held a press conference surrounded by women touched by cervical cancer. He bemoaned the tenor of a debate that he asserted had been “hijacked by politics and posturing,” and blamed future cervical cancer deaths on those who opposed his mandate — many of whom were fellow Republicans…
…In response, the sponsor of HB 1098, Republican state Rep. Dennis Bonnen, blasted Perry for “using cancer victims as his backdrop for an issue that he has grossly misjudged.”
“Just because you don’t want to offer up 165,000 11-year-old girls to be Merck’s study group doesn’t mean you don’t care about women’s health, doesn’t mean you don’t care about young girls,” Bonnen added.
And, in fact, two years later the National Vaccine Information Center issued a report raising serious questions over the harmful side effects of the drug. A few months after that, an editorial on Gardasil in the Journal of the American Medical Association declared that “serious questions regarding the overall effectiveness of the vaccine” needed to be answered and that more long-term studies were called for…
ONE MORE TIME: GOVERNOR SARAH PALIN!!
I think we get it... ; )
No, no and..........................................hell no.
Perry is pathetic on illegal immigration. So was Bush.
Don’t care if he runs or not but I know that I am not going to take the advice of people who spend too much of their time online trashing candidates, about wether or not to vote for them. Bachmann has Red South, Diogenise (or whatever) and a couple others. Sarah had pissant until he went overboard, Mitt has, well, everyone and Perry has you.
Frankly I’d just like to see fact sheets on all candidates, declared and close to declaring rather than take anything an “anti-fill in the blank” has to say.
You show me the perfect candidate, declared or otherwise and I’ll vote for them. That perfect candidate does not exist. We must choose from the human beings that we are presented with.
1) You MUST be a purist who wants 100% perfection!!
2) So just who do YOU support anyway? What announced candidate is BETTER than Perry? Stop--naa naa naa I can't hear you! Perry is awesome!
3) Hey, nobody's perfect! Except Sarah Palin's endorsements, of course. They're infalliable.
4) Speaking of Sarah Palin, you MUST be waiting for Sarah Palin to announce. You will trash ANY non Palin candidate, right?
5) Perry is the ANTI-Romney (even though they have a ton of traits in common like perfect hair, mediocre record, flip-flopper who used to be a liberal before it was popular to be a conservative). It's going to be one of two candidates. If Perry gets in, this will be a TWO-WAY RACE between him or Romney. Pick one! (okay, I said that when Trump was being floated, and Cain, and back in '08 I claimed it would be a "two way race" between Fred and Rudy Giuliani)
6) Perry HATER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Rick Perry who is all for the Mexico to Canada twelve lane highway to run through Texas? That Rick Perry?
Stop with the flipin' flavor of the week already enough... Get beyond Anger, Denial, and Bargaining and come to Acceptance. Accept the fact all here on FR and probably the Tea Parties want Sarah and nothing else. I will right her in if I have too if you stick one of your little toadies on the ballot...
I wish FR would come up with an easier way to post pictures...
After 11 years of FReeping, I’m still an HTML-tard.
Rick Perry can beat Bammy Boy by 20 points and is 100x more conservative than the Kenyan. So yes, Rick Perry is conservative enough for me. Not perfect but good enough to drive Obama out of DC
Republicans might, conservatives not so much.
