As opposed to your hero Ron ‘Wild Shrimp’ Paul?
I’m just tired of the same old globalist crap.
I’ll take Perry over 0bama.....
When Rolling Stone does a hatchet job on Rick Perry (trust me, they will) it will be time to declare him a major candidate.
Can you find an article about loony truther Ron Paul?
That old geezer probably thinks Gardasil is a window protectant.
Karl Rove says he and consultant David Weeks persuaded Rick Perry to switch parties and run for state agriculture commissioner
Texas Gov. Rick Perry draws mention in GOP consultant Karl Roves autobiography with attention
focused on Perrys win for lieutenant governor in 1998 and Rove’s role in his pivotal earlier
switch from the Democratic to Republican party while he was a third-term member of the Texas House.
Rove writes: Rick Perry had planned to retire from the legislature until his best friend,
David Weeks, and I talked him into switching parties and running for the GOP nomination for
agriculture commissioner. His book, “Courage and Consequence, My Life as a Conservative
in the Fight,” was published March 9.
While I was in Houston last year undergoing my major cancer surgeries and rehabilitation afterwards, I saw Rick Perry go to San Antonio and meet with La Raza and basically pander to them to try and get their vote.
I like a lot of what Perry does, but that really upset me and made me question the depth of his commitment to conservative and republican principle.
IMHO, it was a pretty disgusting occurance. Actually, kind of surprised me. I was raised in Texas, buyt have been gone quite a while and am not as familiar with Perry’s history and background as I ougth to be.
I had, to that point, felt he was pretty good...despite misgivings over the entire I35 corridor, Highway of the America’s or whatever they are calling the NAFTA highway these days which I also have trouble with.
Yeah like I give a rats whatever about Gardasil. I hope Perry throws his hat in the ring. It will certainly stir things up. What do we have to lose? I am not impressed with any of the other candidates running and that includes naive politicians like Bachmann who is reduced to defending medications for migraine headaches when her opponent, Obama, won’t release any of his medical records.
Wild shrimp!
I am your pork pimp!
I'll make federal funds ... easy!
Wild shrimp!
Wild shrimp, I want to pimp you
But I gotta know for sure.
Will eight mil be enough?
You need it...
Wild shrimp!
My values go limp!
I'm just an earmark pimp
For my wild shrimp!
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.
Shirley you must realize that he has no chance.
Unlike the Democrats, we like to make sure our candidates are vetted.
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?
Garbage from the ASS press
“It's real easy to walk into church on Sunday morning and sing from the hymnal. I saw a guy that talked like a tea party candidate but didn't govern like one,” said Debra Medina, a Texas tea party activist who challenged Perry in the 2010 Republican gubernatorial primary.
Medina was the Truther Party (Ron Paul) candidate. The “Tea Party” in the article are Ron Paul supporters who claim he is the original Tea Party candidate.
“truth”freedom is a Paul supporter whose stated purpose is destroying Perry before he enters the race.
...Perry is THE WORST, but it will take some effort to stomp him to dust. The msm likes him, and has been pushing him. Id say start attacking him, full blast, right now, so he doesnt get in.

The poster, “truth”freedom's political fantasy...
A scenario I like has Paul in, Palin in, and the establishment candidate. And Ron Paul just attacks the establishment candidate. This would result in a Palin vs Paul showdown in the Republican primary which most people would think, based on reason, would result in a Palin win. But the many debates are focused on attacking Obama.
And its all win. Then a Palin/Paul ticket.

Read the entire article...the article makes it clear it's the other candidates that are behind the smear campaign.
"truth"freedom is nothing but an anti-Perry propagandist.
Gee, hit pieces on Palin, Bachmann, and Perry in the LSM today.
No hit pieces on MittCare Romney, though.
Gee, I wonder whom the LSM wants to be “our” GOP candidate?
I will not vote for Rick Perry.
As for Ron Paul. He has said a lot of truths. Look at his statements from the 2008 primary where he talked about deficits, debt and the fed etc... Issues no other candidate would mention. Ron Paul will never be a viable candidate. Even though he can be far out he still deserves more respect than the establishment give him.
Perry, Social Conservatives and the Road to the Top .."The party has evolved to where he had the ability to be more open about some of his views," says Susan Weddington, a former chairwoman of the Republican Party of Texas. "I think it's the party that's changed some this is definitely in his political DNA."
"Rick Perry has continued to stand up. I think that's who the man is," says Cathie Adams, who has been a Texas GOP chairwoman, national committeewoman and head of the Texas Eagle Forum.
She, like others in the Perry fold, believes he's been consistently conservative on issues that matter to social and religious conservatives most of the time. Like others, she says his support for a mandated vaccine against human papillomavirus was off pitch. HPV, which is sexually transmitted, is the leading cause of cervical cancer; Perry wanted to require the shots for all 12-year-old girls in Texas, unless their parents opted out.
"I worked against HPV," Adams says. "I don't think he was ill-intended on that. He could have listened to more voices."
State Rep. Wayne Christian, R-Center, agrees with that "where he shot himself in the foot was a couple of sessions ago with that vaccination thing" but also says Perry's place as the party's standard-bearer is safe.
"I've talked especially with the Tea Party people," he says. "If you want to say on the correct side of them, you need to stick with Perry." .
June 13, 2011: Texas Gov. Rick Perry blasted pro-abortion President Barack Obama on pro-life issues "Perry said that, under Obama our federal tax dollars can now be used to fund abortion all over the world. With the stroke of a pen, abortion essentially became a U.S. foreign export......."
"Perry has pleased pro-life advocates in Texas many times with signing pro-life legislation most recently signing an ultrasound bill allowing women to see them before an abortion and hopefully changing their minds on it. He has been strongly supported by pro-life groups. Perry supported or signed into law the Womens Right to Know Act and the Prenatal Protection Act in 2003, parental consent law in 2005, and funding for alternatives to abortions in 2007 and 2009."
To quote Humblegunner...
"Perry will beat Obama's ass all over the country and then shoot him up with Gardasil!"
I suspect he'll have enough left over for you too (the way you whimper about Gardasil on these threads, you may indicate you need a healthy dose...)
