First, the TX Governor does not run the entire state by himself (weak gov compared to other states—I assume you know that?)
Second, do you believe there should be any debate, or do you think one person should post something and everyone else should just leap on the bandwagon and that should be that?
Frankly, I am pretty sure that’s not how it works. If you don’t care to have a discussion, then don’t. Donate money and support him and vote for him. I intend to discuss and research. I’m not going to support Perry because a FReeper posted that he’s committed himself to him, or because you decided to tell me that he’s responsible for TX’s good economy and if I don’t believe it I’ve somehow been hoodwinked by the Democrats. Here’s a hint. Insulting people isn’t going to bring them around to your side. So, unless you just want to drive them away you might try a different tactic.
I’ve been a FReeper for a few years now, and I have never read such nastiness until Perry jumped into the race yesterday. Good for you for not drinking anybody’s, Repub, Dem, or tea party, Koolaid. I want Palin to run, but if she doesn’t I was considering Perry. I don’t know if I like the people that support him though. I’m tough on obama because of the company he keeps, and I don’t want to lie down with dogs either.
First, I didn’t insult you, nor did I debate you. I just made a statement that it is strange that you don’t appreciate the benefits of living in Texas. A state who’s benefitted very well from Rick Perry’s leadership.
You say he’s weak? Why’s that? Because he doesn’t stand over you with a hammer and beat you into submission? Rick Perry has too much respect for Texans and our ability to cope for that.
Just like when parents became concerned on the statistics of mandated school immunizations contribute to autism. Rick Perry heard their concern in 2003, helped to write and pushed through legislation that gave parents the right to opt out of ANY immunizations they deemed dangerous to their children. He gave them a one time opt out...sign the form submit it, it’s a done deal. Then the Gardasil deal came up, and the democrats have propgandized that into a mandate for girls to take HPV vaccinations. Which was a lie. He’d already four years before given parents an opt out on ANY immunizations. And there are Freepers on here that STILL are posting the democrapic propaganda that he tried to mandate little girls get a vaccination that could kill them. It’s totally amazing and hilarious to watch.
His leadership in bringing new business into our state is indisputable and not debatable. That record is a fact. And if you think he’s weak, I say bologna. Bringing those businesses into a state whose biggest cities are run by dumb commiecrats and leading them to create an environment for the new business is a skill without measure in my book.
Toyota wanted to bring a plant to Austin that would bring thousands of new jobs. The commiecrats running Austin made so many demands Toyota was ready take it into another state. Rick Perry told Austin, screw you, went down to San Antonio and it took him one meeting to negotiate a deal, and San Antonio said, sure c’mon down, we’ll take those jobs. Of course the commiecrats in Austin started screeching like banshees and tried to play the blame game against Governor Perry and he was having none of it. That’s the kind of quick thinking and action I want to see in the person sitting in our White House.
So I just find your ‘depression’ to be rather strange and your switch and bait statement to merely be propaganda and said so.
