Perry's credentials: As conservative as they come
Atlanta Journal Constitution ^ | July 17, 2011 | Chris Tomlinson

Posted on 07/17/2011 6:59:38 AM PDT by Clairity

If Texas Gov. Rick Perry runs for president, he'd bring along strong conservative credentials.

He's advocated laws that require a sonogram before an abortion and that force police to enforce federal immigration law.

The picture is there and I wouldn’t say that Perry was an ACORN supporter but he was playing the game business as usual politicians always play.

Doing liberal photo ops followed by conservative ones to make both sides think he’s with them.

“he was playing the game business as usual politicians always play.’

So let’s nominate someone who doesn’t have a clue and will be trounced by Obama, what a great idea.

I thought the main objective was to nominate someone who can defeat Obama in 2012. Silly me. (/sarc)

So what are you going to do, if Palin declares she won’t run and endorses Perry?

Maybe some but I have had Texans tell me that Texas has been successful in spite of Perry and that, in Texas, the real power does not reside with the governor. They have also said Perry is a "wolf in sheeps clothing".

But, hey, don't let me stop you from picking globalist shill after globalist shill and expecting different outcomes. Remember the globalists like to hedge their bets, they make sure they own both sides of the coin.

When Perry jumps into the race, I believe Palin will endorse him and announce that she isn’t running.

Can’t carry his home state? He is a 4th term governor...in the last primary the republican elite...put their money on Kay Baily Hutchison...Perry beat her by 300,000 votes......he’ll easily carry Texas...

What do you make of that?"

The transitive property of endorsements is a flawed theory?

” Perry endorsed Giuliani.

Palin endorsed Perry.

What do you want to make of that?”

Palin also did multi-million dollar fundraisers, and radio ads to help McCain get re-elected.

What do you think of that?

Defeating Obama is a good idea.....but doing the same thing as Obama would, except at a slower speed, is not.

Romney and other business as usual politicians would do that.

Romney’s strategy to win is designed to split conservative votes early so Romney can win early primaries. The vote split is assisted by candidates like Santorum, Perry and Bachmann.

Sarah Palin is proven outsider who took on the RINO’s in Alaska.

I realize her longtime communications director, Meghan Stapleton, worked for Fred Malek, a GOP insider who is close to Perry.

That may explain why Palin ended up mixing up with Perry.

The business as usual politicians are leading the country to bankruptcy with a slower rate of spending growth than Obama.

I don’t want them and won’t any of them a dime for their election.

Not sure how he is on enforcing invasion laws. But I would like to see him in the race.

He doesn't enforce much of anything much less invasion laws. This Texan would NOT like to see him in the race. He's as RINO as they come. All talk and wimpy in action. You think the GOP caves too much now, he's basically another McLame. The only time he's conservative is right before an election, then he quickly slides back into RAT mode.

Wanton abuse of the KEYWORD feature can be grounds for suspension or banning.

Newsmax did a Mo Dowd “edit”

Rush said of dream candidate Perry AND ANYONE LIKE HIM—you know,like Palin,Bachman,and Cain among others—good conservatives in his opinion but Perry has yet to receive the Rush gushings Sarah Palin receives.

Personally I want a candidate I can trust to remove a whole lot of Clinton era appointees and hires that have been infecting our government for decades.

I don’t think any of the “establishment” candidates have what it takes to do that.

Either Perry or Palin is going to enter this race. I would prefer Palin a hundred times over.

""He does what is right regardless of whether it is popular. He walks the walk of a true conservative," Palin wrote."

Palin also told us, at one campaign stop after another, that John McCain was a fine, conservative man. One reason why I take anything said at a campaign rally with a grain lump of salt.
