CONCORD, N.H. (AP) In spite of his thundering speeches against big government, Texas Gov. Rick Perry has a troubled relationship with the tea party, a rift increasingly obvious as he gets closer to a presidential bid.
Tea party groups from New Hampshire to Texas are collaborating to criticize Perry's record on immigration, public health and spending and his former affiliation with the Democratic Party.

Obama has potential relationship with tea party Freeperville, I.P. In spite of his thundering speeches in favor of big government, President Barack Obama has a potential parasitic relationship with the tea party, as circular conservative firing squads are encouraged by the mainstream media.

As much as I admire Ron Paul's stand on many issues, he will never be president.
Shirley you must realize that he has no chance.

The poster in question is one of FR's hardcore Paultards.
I think everyone knows that by now.
That being said, I'll accept any information, from just about any source on our side, if it uncovers lies/untrue PR about any of our candidates leading up to the Primaries.
Now is the time to vet the candidates and Perry needs a lot of vetting because we have several people on the site, probably Perry Staffers, that are relentless in presenting one side of the Perry story and trying to bury the negative side of Perry.
I'll take everything I can get.

Perry isn’t a conservative but nice try.

Unlike the Democrats, we like to make sure our candidates are vetted.

Perry takes a lot of good positions. He would certainly be eons ahead of, and better for the country than Obama.
But I am concerned about the things I mentioned in my earlier post just the same.
I hope, in 2012, we get an all American who gets it right across the board, from abortion to second amendment to the economy to immigration, energy, foreign policy etc.
I believe we are going to have another strong sea change election like 2010 and it would be good to have an executive in there to take full advantage of it and really ebgin to set things back aright.

The Tea party is not even a political party, yet the Republicans say the tea party is de facto the Republican party...How convoluted is that?

I hear that Paul spent $31,000 on a lot for use as his space in the Ames Iowa event. Next nearest was at $18,000.

We also have plenty of people, both posting on their own and probably at the behest of competing campaigns, who will post competing info without a Paultard who is obviously pushing his nutbar joining in.
I don't know who the winner will be, but I know it will not be RuPaul.

It’s going to come down to those who want Obama actually out of office, and those who may elect to do a Thelma and Lousise over the proverbial cliff supporting a candidate who will not run and can not win a general election if he/she did declare.
Read where Christie is headed to Iowa to fundraise for Steve King. Curious, maybe? Iowa? Now? Interesting.
A sure winner is Christie/Perry, but Christie is not a conservative but for fiscal policy. However, the people are desperate and that is the number one issue behind the ballot lever.

I really really dont like Rick Perry. And most of us on FR really, really don't like RuPaul. And many people on FR like Palin yet you bash her as well.
But we've come to expect that from Paultards. You're probably still steamed from the drubbing Deb Medina took.

OK that’s explains a lot. I can understand someone preferring someone better than Perry as he is admittedly a mixed bag. But anyone that wants Ron Paul anywhere near the nuclear football has no credibility

Perry is whoever he wants to be and very good at it. He brings plenty of Tea to the ticket, but can also sweep up the Independents who will decide this race. The 2012 electorate is desperate for income and the only issue they’re going to be bringing to the ballot box is fiscal conservatism. Texas is EXHIBIT A. If Christie is on the ticket with him, Obama is gone, and the depression begins to end. Does that matter to anyone, anywhere. Hello-oo? Anybody there?

Let's hope that RuPaul simply walks away from the Primary process as well.
It would be nice to have the confused Libertarians be forced to make a choice for a viable candidate, instead of the perennial "fat chance" candidate like Ron Paul.

You put those two on the ticket and you will drive the conservative base away in droves.
That ticket doesn't have a chance in Hell of winning the General election.
