I will work every day to make Washington, DC as inconsquential in your life as I can, says Rick Perry as he announces for president. Well, there it is. The 2012 race in a nutshellAmerica is not broken. Washington D.C. is broken, as Perry said, in contrast to Barack Obamas continuing insistence that government must somehow lead the way out of the economic doldrums with infrastructure banks and payroll tax cuts and extending unemployment insurance. If the dividing line between Republicans and Democrats is that Democrats want, in some sense, to direct America from Washington, Republicans believe the United States should not be directed, and should instead be managed as close to the citizenry as possible.
Most people outside Texas know very little about Perry, but given his standing as a kind of amalgam of George W. Bush and Sarah Palin and Mike Huckabee, he may soon occupy an unprecedented position in the imagination of liberals and the Leftperhaps the most frightening specter of anti-liberalism since Ronald Reagan precisely because he is electable. The conservative boogeyman is back."

“I hate to inform you, but Perry is just getting started, and the excitement is only building. As for your tiresome spamming of all the Perry threads hoping to somehow SWAY THE PRIMARIES, those are liberal tactics, and I’m afraid your cause is ridiculous and lost. “
LOL. I like your sense of humor, and your definition of the word spam (i.e., when someone says something about your guy, that you don’t like). I have no doubt that I could find plenty of “spam” from you if I look it up...and use your definition.
As to Perry, he’s about peaked. He should have known that the country would NEVER let him get away with the stunts he pulled and tried to pull in Texas (like giving little girls shots so that they could have wild sex in their teen years).
Well.. today's history for you involves crying for help from the cops.
Pretty tough. Yep.
One thing he is wrong about is that this country IS broken. Nancy Pelousy, Dingy Harry and Il Duce Obama did not inherit political office. They were voted in to office. The problem is about half the voters in this Country (i.e. people that vote in elections) vote Democrat. When the non-voters who care about their Country vote and take it back, then the Country will be on its way to healing. Until then, it is broken.
When he first took office as governor in 2001, Perry went to Mexico and bragged about his law that granted the children of undocumented workers special in-state tuition at Texas colleges, the first state in the nation to do so.
The message is simple, Perry concluded, educacion es el futuro, y si se puede. Education is the future, and (echoing Cesar Chavezs slogan) yes we can.]
Just a few weeks ago, Perry defended his decision to give in-state tuition to illegal immigrants. He said to punish these young Texans for their parents actions is not what America has always been about.
Perry opposed Arizonas tough anti-illegal immigration law SB 1070. I have concerns, he explained, with portions of the law passed in Arizona and believe it would not be the right direction for Texas.
He spoke out last year against using E-Verify to prevent illegal immigrants from getting jobs as state employees, who get their paychecks from the taxpayers. He insisted it would not make a hill of beans difference.
Numbers USA, a group that supports immigration control, gives Perry a D- for his positions supporting amnesty, open borders, and opposing border security.
“Youre among the toughest guys I know.
Asking others to fight for you is awesomely bad-ass.”
I didn’t ask anyone to fight for me, I asked them to ban you for intentionally VIOLATING THE POSTING RULES AT FREE REPUBLIC. Can’t you get that into your head.
“Youre among the toughest guys I know.
Asking others to fight for you is awesomely bad-ass.”
And believe me, I don’t need any help explaining who Rick Perry is to the country...I’ve lived him for a decade.
THIS is your “kinder, gentler version”??
I don’t necessarily agree with BobL, but your posts to him are disgusting. He is absolutely right to call for your banning. This is just outrageous!
(like giving little girls shots so that they could have wild sex in their teen years).
Well Bob, if that’s what happened, then it’s because their own parents are complete incompetent boobs since they could have very easily opted out!

And that’s why I’m so against electing another Open-Borders type like Perry...the country is about out of room for inviting hostile immigrants. Very soon we’ll flip over as California did, and then it will be game over. We don’t another president who talks tough about the border, but won’t lift a finger back home.
“Well.. today’s history for you involves crying for help from the cops.”
I whole ONE POSTING. I’m sorry that I oppose your candidate. OK?
Sure you did, Nancy.
"Moderator, save me! He said a mean thing!"
Tough guy, you.
Well, click on my profile page.
I'm banned. Happy now?
“Well Bob, if thats what happened, then its because their own parents are complete incompetent boobs since they could have very easily opted out!”
Opting out of inoculations is tough, it involves swearing that you are philosophically or religiously opposed to the concept, having it notarized (not sure here, but someone did say that), and renewing every two years. Only about 1000 people per year in Texas do that now.
I happen to support inoculations, as I don’t want my kids to get Measles, for example. But if they end up with millions of parents opting-out because of this sex-shot, then it’s likely that the whole system gets messed up. Anyway, I still have trouble with this from a conservative viewpoint.
Go back and check his campaign promises. He campaigned on lowering the property taxes. It has not happened anywhere. the school boards operate within the limits given to them by the law. Perry campaigned on property tax law reform. It hasn’t happened. Any thoughts on franchise taxes and Guardasil?
BTW, you are not helping your cause by using lib tactics. When you don’t have the facts on your side don’t start calling people that you disagree with names. And a polite person wouldn’t do that even if the facts were on their side.
“I dont necessarily agree with BobL, but your posts to him are disgusting. He is absolutely right to call for your banning. This is just outrageous!”
Thanks, “you’re a man of integrity in any universe”. To quote the old Star Trek.
I’ve wasted enough time on you. Hopefully the moderators put you out of your misery.
Hopefully you will abandon your obsession with Justin Bieber.
