Just donated to perry and bought bumper sticker & yard sign (I am in)

Posted on 08/14/2011 6:43:59 PM PDT by indianrightwinger

I just committed myself 15 mins ago. My first round donation is done. Was always looking for the winnable conservative candidate with extensive executive experience. Between Romney and Perry, choice is clear. Only other possible entrant is Palin and she interested me as a reform minded GOP Governor who was a VP candidate. While she may enter the race and be more to the right of Perry, I am not looking for the "right most" candidate.

Hmmmm, what exactly more important than the economy, jobs, and the debt?

You want to be a mewling subject who waits for a dictator to tell you what's important, you go right on ahead, the free people will stand even if your knees are too weak from kneeling.

“I want to defeat Obama, ergo, I’m supporting Perry.”

I am voting for ANY Republican who runs against Obama. Romney, Palin, Bachmann, Paul, Santorum, Perry, doesn’t matter. Any of them are miles better than Obama.

I’m not sure about the argument some make, which sounds like “if a candidate is liked by a lot of republicans, we can’t pick them because they are “establishment”. Instead, we need to pick a candidate that nobody in the republicna party likes!!!”

So? How does that help the people in the other 49 states? I am no fan of New Hampshire, but the state unemployment rate is just under 5%. But that doesn't help anyone outside the state...
 

Seriously? All us employed Texans and Business Owners are paying Taxes!

Rick Perry didn’t tell me that. I decided it all on my own, as have most Americans wayyyyyyyyyyy before Rick Perry even put his hat in the ring.

You may be in the wrong place, noob troll.

Don’t know yet, we don’t have a ballot. I doubt that ANY candidate this time around would be a viable 3rd-party candidate. Which is what I meant about a “3rd party option”, not that there were no candidates to choose from, just that there was NO candidate on the ballot that had a chance to even win ONE state, much less enough to win the Presidency. We had to pick between McCain and Obama; McCain was destined to lose anyway, but there was no way we could have gotten a 3rd-party candidate elected.

As I said, I don’t see this being a year you can win a 3rd-party presidency. Obama is the incumbent; that gives him a solid base of support, and I can’t imagine he’ll fall below 40% in the election. Anybody we pick on our side will be more conservative than Obama, and probably more conservative than, say, Huntsman or Olympia Snowe. If we then ran a right-wing 3rd-party candidate like Bachmann, especially if they hadn’t been able to win the republican nomination, we’ll be splitting the 60% of the vote we have available to us, which could well allow Obama to win like Clinton won in 1992 with 43% of the vote.

None of that. Congress (if kept in GOP hands) will temper his immigration positions and I am confident Perry won’t focus on anything but the economy and debt for his agenda.

So we gone from the Perry Apologists telling us all how wrong we are concerning Perry and Immigration to accepting he is actually what he says he is, an Open-Borders advocate and somehow, Congress is going to rein in his Open-Borders/Pro-Amnesty proclivities?

What do you take us for, Stupid?

To vote for Perry and to support him now gives us the best chance we have to get rid of Obama. If I could I would vote for Reagen...

If the 1986 era Reagan were running today, the Conservatively Holier Than Thou Brigade would be posting about "Ronaldo Reagan" the Open-Borders, Amnesty-Loving, Not-Fiscally-Conservative-Enough RINO.

They would then vote Third Party and help Obama get reelected.

Rick Perry himself refutes this claim:

Rick Perry is trying to to be diplomatic here. Everyone knows the Bush's backed Kay Bailey against him in 2010, so there is obviously bad blood.

From the very article you linked:

"Let me share something with you. George Bush was never a fiscal conservative. Never was. Wasn't when he was in Texas," Perry told a gathering of Republicans.

A true statement and pretty direct condemnation of Bush.

I know Texas has high property taxes, but I thought ours here in New Hampshire were even higher. We'll just have to try harder... :-)

From the clown who said:
People are really tired of that old tune...we heard it in 2008, 2004, 2000...it's boring. Vote for our guy because the other one is worse? Is that all you've got?
Yeah Comrade, go third party. Re-elect Obama.

During the primaries, the focus should be on the perfect, not the good.
ROTFLMAO!

What PERFECT candidate can you name?

Perry is exactly what this country does not need. He is too cozy with the globalist socialist Bushes,

This is something that concerns me about Perry. I've read several things that suggest that he has ties to Soros. Even a hint of that is enough for me to not ever vote for him. He's just another "inside" politician who will go along with the same old same old. My mind is made up. If Sarah runs she gets my money and my boots on the ground. If she does not run, I will write in her name or not vote for president at all. She is the ONLY person out there that I trust at this point in time. Our country has about reached it's end. I see her as the God-given person to pull it back from the brink. Nobody else can do it. If she can't win he presidency, I will watch the country get what it deserves. Perry is Bush. I loved Bush, but he turned out to be another globalist and I feel betrayed. No Sarah, no more voting for me as long as I live. That is how I feel. I won't be playing the game any more.

I still say George Bush was a great President, and I still support him. I know that he did some stupid things, but he also saved our country, led us through one of our worst times and kicked the butts of those who attacked us. He restored our military, and our might in the world, and made us matter when the terrorists were getting the idea they could push us around.

He also had done a good job on the economy, until the democrats took over in 2007. He was too compassionate, and I don’t htink it helped when conservatives were quick to turn on him, so he reached out to more moderate forces, but I think he did what he thought was right.

So no, I don’t hate Bush, he was a good president. And I don’t blame Rick Perry for saying so, any more than I blame Sarah Palin for saying McCain is a great Senator.
