Americans for Rick Perry as active as ever, raising $400,000 in three weeks
Hot Air ^ | July 7, 2011 | Tina Korbe

And, now, the group Americans for Rick Perry reports it has raised a fair amount of money in a short amount of time.

Bob Schuman, a senior strategist for Americans for Rick Perry, said Thursday that the group is expanding its fundraising operation outside of Texas to include Miami, Chicago, and Washington, D.C. The group can accept unlimited donations but, under federal law, can't strategize with Perry himself.

Perry can outraise Romney -- otherwise it will be Romney vs. Obama.

He deserves it after today’s entertainment/execution of a POS. Could’ve fold like a RINO but he stuck it to FUBO.

No thanks.

But Sarah likes him. She "really" likes him.

MAY 31, 2011 .... Palin plugs Perry: "I really like him" .... Unprompted, Sarah Palin brought up Rick Perry's name yesterday as a strong presidential candidate. "I think he would be a fine candidate.... we have a lot in common. I really like him.

Governor Sarah Palin's Endorsement of Governor Rick Perry

"That's why I am supporting Governor Rick Perry for re-election. He does what is right regardless of whether it is popular. He walks the walk of a true conservative. And he sticks to his guns – and you know how I feel about guns!" ...... Sarah Palin, January 17, 2009

So you making fun of Sara Palin for not doing her homework on a politician across the continent from where she lives erases the untenable things he has done?

Since when has “Well yeah sure he's done all these bad things - but look who likes him” been an argument that holds water outside teenage girls? Essentially that is your response. You are unable to deny his record, but if someone popular likes him its supposed to be okay anyway.

Keep running your cheerleader squad tryout style campaign Polybus.
Maybe you can get invited to cool parties.

Perry can beat Bammy Boy by 20 points—— easily.
Perry can pull in the big money donors who are sick of the POS Kenyan screwing up this economy and screwing up our oil coal and energy sector

You need a lot of $$$$ to beat Bammy Boy and Rick Perry can raise it

Only problem with Perry are the easy comparisons to Bush. If I was Obama , Perry would my hopes. The average voter wants Obama gone but not to return to the Bush years. They want a clean break from the last 2 Presidents. Another cowboy with his bible from Texas will be hard to sell.

Wow.

How full of yourselves you are.

You have the nerve to compare the media’s treatment of Palin and the inarticulate responses from people who attack Palin, to me. I simply posted links to earlier freerepublic posts. Just a little bit of research, background on Perry.
Any criticism of Perry is deranged, huh?

There’s nothing deranged about not wanting a Globalist like Rick Perry to be President.

I guess you want more links on this thread?

Second, Rove’s opponents would regularly find that they had suddenly become the target
of a criminal investigation, and details concerning the investigation would be
aggressively fanned to the press. Rove mastered this technique in a contest
for the Texas Agriculture Commissioner’s post that he managed for now-Governor Rick Perry.

It Started in Texas: Karl Rove’s Political Prosecutions
http://www.harpers.org/archive/2007/07/hbc-90000569
1. Rove was hired to run the campaign of Rick Perry, the current governor,
for the powerful Texas office of Commissioner of Agriculture, then held by
Democrat Jim Hightower. Shortly thereafter, it was clear that a major
FBI investigation had been launched into the workings of the Texas Agriculture
Department (TDA), focusing on Hightower and his senior lieutenants, who had been
pursuing a populist, anti-corporate agriculture and pro-small-farmer agenda.

Jim Hightower talks about his new book, “Thieves in High Places: They’ve Stolen Our Country and it’s Time to Take it Back”
http://www.buzzflash.com/interviews/03/08/21_hightower.html
HIGHTOWER: Rick Perry, back then (currently Texas Governor), was his client, so to speak,
and Perry had been recruited. He was sort of a nothing Texas legislator who had been brought
in — again as an affable fellow without any brain muscle. Perry was essentially sent to
wander around out in West Texas during the campaign so he would be out of the way,
while Rove worked this FBI agent and raised money from the chemical industry
and other corporate interests that opposed me. Rove had George Bush go on
television against me. Then Rove ran a series of television ads that
established a new low in negative advertising.

For example, they showed a long-haired guy setting a flag on fire,
and throwing it on the ground. And then my picture came up out of the fire, and said
“Hightower supports flag burning,” which, of course, I don t. But it doesn t matter,
you know. I had to go around answering: “Why do you support flag burning?”
Rove had another ad of me campaigning with Jesse Jackson, who I supported in 1988
in the Presidential campaign. And Rove ran this ad that essentially was a smear
on Jackson and then tying me to him. The ad so angered the Black Caucus in the State Legislature
that they convened their own press conferences in Houston and Dallas to assail it. But again it was too late.
All this was happening in the last three weeks of the election. So, I mean, that s just who the guy is.

It’s money time and the serious are raising it hand over fist. Perry will take more than money to Romney, he will take all the conservative tier vote who want Obama out and split the moderates with Romney. Now that’s “Game Over”. What we are waiting on with Perry is initial splash cash. Texas likes to do things in a big way and I believe in the end that the Bush machine will eventually back Rick if he is able to run well against Romney.

Sounds like you're giving her a pass when there's no evidence she didn't do "her homework" on Perry.

Shame on you.

Being Texan like GW Bush might be Rick Perry’s only possible downside. Anyways, American voters are very superficial these days. Perry is a good enough speaker, he looks good with a nice head of black hair, his wife looks good. Put him side by side w that ugly, jug eared, pos Obama and people will vote for Rick Perry. How about American voters comparing Moochelle to Rick Peryy’s wife too?

Obama got in based on a superficial image, white racial guilt and with no real world experience. We beat him with our own “image candidate” but who has had loads of experience governing Texas

Rick Perry? The guy who stood by and allowed a poor down on his luck "Mexican national" to be executed today...

Nah, no way, everybody knows Obama secretly fears that Texas tornado Ron Paul...

So you making fun of Sara Palin for not doing her homework on a politician across the continent from where she lives erases the untenable things he has done?

Who are you to say that Sarah Palin "did not do her homework" in regards to Rick Perry?

Are you so full of yourself and your Politically Holier Than Thou attitude that, if Sarah Palin disagrees with you politically, then she must be so lazy that she "did not do her homework"?

I am not "making fun of Sarah Palin" because, in regards to Rick Perry, I completely agree with her.

Rick Perry is the one conservative candidate that can pound Obama in 2012 like Ronald Reagan pounded Jimmy Carter in 1980.

I am making fun of you fanatics who believe that you know more about Sarah Palin than Sarah Palin knows about Sarah Palin.

Oh, by the way, JimRob also thinks that Rick Perry "would be an excellent alternative to Obama the Commie".

Since you probably believe that you also know more about JimRob than JimRob knows about himself, why don't you send him a FReepMail and point out to him that he is mistaken and he does not really believe that.

“We now have conservatives Bachmann and Cain officially in the race fending off RINO Romney; and Palin and Perry could possibly jump in. My hopes are with Palin, but if she decides not to run I could be happy with Bachmann or Cain. Also, if Palin does not run but Perry does, he'd probably suck all the air out of the race. Either way, Palin, Bachmann, Cain or even Perry would all be excellent alternatives to Obama the commie. Anyone but RINO Romney the big government chief architect of CommieCare! …… Posted on Friday, July 01, 2011 10:13:29 AM by Jim Robinson”
