Personally, I would love to see a Perry/Cain ticket!

Romney = Howard Dean’s lead in ‘03.

It’s a myth that he will get the nomination.

Perry will bury him.

I’m looking for the person who will unabashedly standup an say that what they have done, promoted or whatever beliefs they hold follow and strengthen the Constitutional principles the Founding Fathers laid out for this Nation. I would have hoped that the persons in tonight’s ‘debate’ along with Perry would be doing this. Perry for me has to explain what is going wrong and how it gets remedied as much as any of the others while the pot is being stirred.

You give Palin flack b/c of her endorsement of McCain, but you give Perry a pass and he’s endorsed mega rinos....

And he IS a RINO to boot. So, still why him over Palin?

How much do the media hate and try to destroy Perry? That’s the real measure. That’s the person to support.

There was a news clip either Tuesday or yesterday that said the SRM is heading to Texas to start trying to dig up all the dirt they could find on Perry to use against him.

Because he is not a RINO. Perry is Pro Life, Pro Second Amendment, states right and the Bush clan hates him. He is also not the defacto head of the Tea Party. Palin is. When McLame slammed the Hobbits on the floor of the Senate, I felt it was Palins job to step up. She endorsed him after all. I can’t find any endorsements that Perry made except for Algore 23 years ago so I have no idea if he supports McLame style RINOS.

Perry looks like the only one that can take Mittens on and win. Of all the metrics being used, even when Palin is factored as running, Mittens wins. Perry is the only one that shows signs of being even or better with making sure Romney doesn’t win right now.

Perry thinks states can abort babies if they want to.

He’s as “pro-life” as Stephen A. Douglas Democrats were “anti-slavery.”

But if Roe is turned over, which is the ultimate goal, wouldn’t it automatically become a states rights issue? From the states, we can close down abortions. If you believe in the 10th Amendment, where else can an overturn of Roe go to make it illegal?

The right to life is unalienable. And it is explicitly protected by the Fifth and the Fourteenth Amendments.

"No person shall be deprived of life without due process of law."

"No State shall deprive any person of life without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."

If a candidate told you he thought it should be "up to the states" whether or not you can keep and bear arms, would you call him "pro-Second Amendment"?

The Tenth Amendment deals with powers, not rights.

And there is no department of government, in any branch, at any level, that has any legitimate power to alienate the right to life.

All they have is the sworn duty to secure it for all.

That's the primary purpose of government. All government.

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men..."

Perry went to Texas A&M

We can forgive him for that. Everything else is a positive though.

That is all fine and good and I agree, but we have had Roe on the books for almost 40 years. The Pro Death movement have been able to sell this as a right to generations of dopes. I don’t see any other way to back out of it once Roe is overturned. People have been brainwashed that life starts at birth and not conception and the education that the opposite is true is taking an extremely long time. We are going to have to work with the bucket of s#!t we have.

Perry is not compassionate, meaning giving other people's money away to show his compassion.

Really? Then why did he just get done supporting a $2.4 TRILLION dollar rise in the debt limit?

Just where exactly do you think that money is going to come from, and be spent on?
