Perry draws crowd on Romney's turf

That Perrybots think it is okay to seize a person's land through eminent domain so that the government can profit from its development into commercial businesses says everything anyone need know about their politics, their ethics, and their morality.

When confronted with what was In the legislation Perry has been pushing, Perrybots have no other recourse but to institute name calling.

Indeed, there is no higher recourse open to one who wishes to support the man because his record will not hold up under the light of day.

Well then. You have made yourself crystal clear. You are making your 'Perrybot' “venom list” and will “tattoo” and “hold personally responsible” everyone who supports him in any way, including Sarah Palin.

Who, pray tell, is your chosen candidate for POTUS 2012? Inquiring FReepers want to know.

Great post. And a Palin/Perry or Perry/Palin ticket would work for me.

The thing that keeps me in Palin’s corner is that despite all the negativity thrown at her she has maintained—just that, she’s maintained—and the polls that show too many couldn’t vote for her in any situation can vanish easily. The MSM pushes those kinds of polls right up to the point where someone wins, and they are then forgotten. (I recall the polls ‘proving’ Obama couldn’t win because whites wouldn’t vote for him. Uh huh.) She could get in, and a week later be on top and stay there.

But again, Perry, who I disagree with strongly on some of the points you mention (just like I’ve disagreed strongly on certain points with every single person I’ve ever voted for for president), could lead. I hate to say this because it’ll cause screaming and hatred from the usual suspects, but if people think Palin winning the presidency would somehow win over the democrats who might still control one house of congress (or more, who knows), they’re nuts. If she becomes president, they’ll hate her even more, and do more to make sure she fails, or is perceived as failing.

Ignoring this reality could be the difference between Obama’s re-election and his defeat. And if Perry can do it and she can’t, I will switch my support. This time I’m a Whoever Can Beat Obama voter. I ain’t going down with the ship just so I can say ‘Well, MY principles are pure!’ as my country dies.

Perry touted his formula for governing Texas, which he said includes low taxes, low spending, less regulation and discouragement of lawsuits.

What a laugh!

Low taxes? We've had property taxes increase twice in two years (courtesy of Susan Combs- part of Perry's state government)....and don't tell me it's local budgets that determine the property taxes. Bandera County tax assessors office was told to raise property taxes or the state would do it for them.

Low spending? Texas Spending Spree — “We’re Just a Bit Short.

Less regulation? HA-hahahaha! What happened to standing up against the EPA or TSA in Texas? Hint- Perry blinked, and we are stuck with more regulation.

Discouragement of lawsuits? OK, I'll give him that.

Then why did it take the gov’t 30 years to get the land to build the freeways?? We don’t like letting one piece of our land to go. We did, and after much debating etc, we now have a freeway system. When the government needs land for something...they do pay for it. The difference here is the Spanish government had a bit of money in it. Socialism had nothing to do with it, just pure dee entrepreneurship one government with another.
