GREENLAND, N.H. - Following an announcement speech full of anti-Obama rhetoric, Texas Governor Rick Perry answered questions from New Hampshire political activists for nearly a half-hour on Saturday that fleshed out his policy views for a group, a state, and a country that barely knows the latest Republican presidential contender. Like most in the GOP, Perry espoused a muscular support for Israel amid a turbulent Mideast, saying, “Israel is not ever gonna have to worry, if I’m the president to the United States, where we’re gonna be.” Like most Republicans, he also labeled himself a fiscal conservative bent on reining in government spending. “We’re going to stop spending the money, unless I run out of ink in a veto pen,” the governor pledged. Perry also professed a pro-business bent, a calling card of his party, especially when it comes to small business support. “I can go small community with you; that’s how I grew up,” said the native of Paint Creek, Texas. “We didn’t even have a post office.” But in a bold-yet-folksy way, the Texan also put his own spin on an array of questions from a crowd of more than 150. Asked about how the country copes with the growing cost of Social Security and other entitlement programs, Perry said political leaders had to show “courage” especially in dealing with Social Security, which he labeled a “Ponzi scheme.” He said: “I can promise you, my 27-year-old son, Social Security, under the program that we have today, will not be there.” Perry, himself 61, pledged to back a base level of support for needy retirees, but he said calling the current retirement system a Ponzi scheme - in which contributions from one group is to pay immediate benefits to another group - is the first step in deciding how...

Counting down until the Palin crew shows up to spam your thread...
As long as someone gives me what my company and I contributed to my ss account with interest I don’t have a problem with anything. If someone says, “sorry no money”, someones getting hurt.
I wouldn’t count on it, unless you’re over 50 or “needy.”
I found this a good primer to Perry. Nice bullet points on his history.

Of course both of these articles did not mention that he is Sarah Palin, so he is a RINO/CINO/Commie Pinko sympathizer.
Hey DREY...is this guy hearing us yet on the matter of TWO MEXICOS?
How did he explain using 200 million dollars of Texas taxpayer money to fund private corporate ventures. Where his hand selected panel memebers got the priviledge of selecting winners and losers from a small field of campaign contributors deciding who would be awarded and how much so with taxpayer funds.
Are his campaign contributors excited about the prospect of getting their hands into the Federal governments cookie jar?
Cha-Ching!
Perry = Obama on illegal immigration. Like Obama, when Perry says “Enforcement” he means “deporting only those who commit serious felonies”. Texas is a magnet for illegals because Perry gives them college tution and welfare.
LOL

Ohhh Swoon!!! I do Believe Mr. Ricardo has powerful oratory skills! I don’t need to look into his past and besmirch him. His hollow words sound pretty enough for my ears.
Candidates have all of the solutions to all of the issues, while campaigning, but things change, after they get into office! I wish that there would be a recall system put into place for all politicians and for all judges, at each and every level!
Gasp!!! those dirty Palinistas!!! I hates me anyone that might support Sarah Palin!!! Shes evil and her and her supportes have now room in the Republican Inc., err party.
You shouldn’t expect your money back some billionaire needs it more. You know so that he can create jobs... Hopefully while on his yacht and mamybe that job will be in America...
Here, we’re counting on the Romney supporters switching their allegiances.
“No RINOs”
John, he’s been in office for 27 years and hasn’t changed a wink. His party changed around him, but his conservatism never failed.
Bitter much, Tempest? What happened. Did Rick fire your dad or something?
