1 pm EDT -- moments from now -- awaiting Perry speech announcing he is officially running for president

wow, small world.
That’s where my grand mother went to school.
Yes Taqiyya.
The campaign of disinformation and lies.
Zero is running the Perry is like Washington Pubs. All you have to do is watch the polls and you can write Zeros attack ad.
The emperor has no clothes.
No, I agree. I think we're exactly in agreement.
It's the timing. Palin either never truly intended to run, OR, she waited too long and was beaten to the punch by Perry. Either way, he has moved in to the center stage.
A lot of her power derives from the fact that no one knows what she's going to do. The suspense is killing journalists and politicos everywhere, and it's kept her very prominent.
Now that Perry is in, he basically demolishes the need for Mitt (the "pro-business governor") and Palin (the "popular social conservative"). He's eaten up the ground that either Palin or Romney would need to take to advance, making it easier to pick off either of their supporters. By this time next month, unless a dramatic game changer occurs, Romney will be on suicide watch, and Palin will be looking at a Huckabee-like show on Fox.
ROFL! I know a bunch of women who love her. And there were a bunch of women at the state fair crowded around to see her, shake hands, get her autograph, take her picture.
You pretended he said that in his announcement for the presidency.
What did you want him to say IN Mexico?
“This will be a fight for our nation’s very survival.”
I agree...This isn’t fun and games debate class...this is for real. If Obama wins, America will never be the same.
I’m reading After America....by Steyn...we are close to the end as a great Nation.
This is the most important election of our lifetimes.
Now will come the attacks against him, which will be the most vicious, dirty, lying, scurrilous we’ve ever seen.
____________
And he can hand it right back to them- in spades!
There has never been a more ripe target than the Marxist/Muslim.
So true! I a 4th generation Texan...Stuck in Floriduh at the moment.
Now we get to talk bout Rick Perry. He's running, his announcement tomorrow in South Carolina timed to blow all the other candidates scrambling for votes in Iowa's meaningless straw poll out of the water. He doesn't take prisoners. He's also the next president.
Actually, though, this isn't about him, but rather the profound mendacious stupidity of his Dem critics.
That libsite linked above begging the PIAPS to run, Salon, put up this hilarious hit-piece Wednesday (8/09), Rick Perry: The Pro-Sharia Candidate? The kid who wrote it, Justin Elliott, is wonderfully ignorant of what he's blathering about.
His accusation is that Perry is buds with the Aga Khan. Somehow, that means he will promote the imposition of radical Moslem sharia law upon America if president. The Aga Khan is indeed, as Elliott says, the spiritual leader of a form of Islam called Ismailism, and is revered by the some 20 million Ismailis round the world.
We talked about the Ismailis in The Pamir Knot (September 2010). We learned that they "believe in a mystical, peaceful form of Islam that is the antithesis of hate, violence, and Sharia imperialism that infuses mainstream Sunni or Shia Islam."
Further:
"There are no mosques in the Pamirs, because Ismailis have no mosques. They pray privately - men and women together. Ismaili men are extremely respectful of women. The thought of treating women as an inferior form of humanity as does mainstream Islam is as disgusting to Ismaili men as it is to us. No Ismaili man would even think of demanding his wife wear a veil or cover her face in public...
"Up in these lost mountains on the roof of the world, there is a form of Islam that should be a model for Moslems all over the world, a moral contrast to the medieval evil of Wahhabi Islam of the Saudis, the Deobandi Islam of the Taliban, or the Khomeini Islam of the Mullahs of Iran."
Which is why the Islamist missionaries of sharia hate Ismailis more than us infidels. So good for Perry being friends with Ismailis. To claim this makes him "pro-sharia" is a twisted joke.
But maybe Elliott wants the joke to be on us. Maybe he does know the difference between Ismailis and Wahhabis, and is counting on conservatives being ignorant enough not to know. His goal is to smear Perry, and is hoping conservative ignorance will achieve it.
Let's not let this lib smear artist get away with it.

There is, however, one Republican governor being urged to run for president who is pro-Sharia: New Jersey's Chris Christie.
When criticized for appointing a Moslem Brotherhood lawyer, Sohail Mohammed, to the New Jersey Superior Court, he spouted the accusations of "Islamophobia" he learned from Grover Norquist, called his critics "crazies," and declared "this sharia law business is just crap."
Jihad Watch's Robert Spencer notes that "What's crap is the idea that Christie is fit to be president." Daniel Pipes states what is now obvious, that "Christie will never become president." Stick to New Jersey, Chris. Just like you promised.
Gov. Perry a ‘superstar’ in eyes of Gov. Haley
“He comes from a great state, he has a great hope for America,” Haley said. “He wants to make the people of our country feel good again and deliver results.”

I've been weaving in and out avoiding the false accusations from the usual suspects to try to find out the actual truth about Rick Perry.
That wasn’t to me. That was a screenshot. Stop it. You are digging a hole.
Thanks for the detailed post.
MM— please read shield’s post 310.
Bingo. My thoughts exactly.
Sheesh. Slightly touchy? This Yankee noticed it is all. It was a friggin’ JOKE. Which is exactly why I put “LOL” after that, which I also noticed you did NOT quote. Naturally. Nice try at deception, however.
See, I can drop my g’s too. Honestly, just WTH.
Perry is just one step (and a small one at that)under Romney in being the top RINO. I can’t believe so many on here are supporting him. The GOP wants him because he will bring in hispanic voters, that should tell you something right there.
I liked ‘doodie’ better. That’s what my Grandmama used to call sh**. Kinda fits don’t it?
