Ugh. Try reading some of the posts (#6) reagarding his stance instead of drinking the liberal kool aid.
Politico?? Hit piece?
How low will you go?
In fact, the "evolved" Al Gore lost his home state of Tennessee by 80,000 votes and those 11 Electoral votes in his 2000 bid for the presidency.
They're already printed!?
Great!
The above was poorly written. It gives the impression that Schlafly and Dobson would have supported Gore in a primary battle against Clinton. What I meant was that in other circles and as a result of their record labeling initiative, the Gores received favorable comments from Schlafly and Dobson.
Just not as part of a presidential campaign. That was poorly written. Sorry.
Yep! That article is as fair a characterization of Perry as I have seen.
Those of us outside the big cities remember with fear and loathing his land-grabbing, run roughshod over fellow Texans' property rights, TTC (AKA "Trash Texas Con-Job"), with its "Give Texas back to the Spaniards" funding strategy...
Something to think about, it would get us a new governor! Maybe even a conservative one.
When I have to describe Perry with a single word, that is the one I usually use...
CorridorBotch.org, or David Stall-ed “It appears that as a political issue, the Trans Texas Corridor (TTC) does not cut nearly the swath its opponents allege the asphalt itself will.
For we find CorridorWatch.org (CW.org) founder David Stall falling pronouncedly flat in his bid to become District 18's state Senator. In a jurisdiction he has spent the last two years dousing with disinformation regarding just what the TTC will be, his attempts at grassroots movement failed to translate into grassroots support…………
According to their website, Stall's wife Linda founded CorridorWatch.org in February of 2004. Of course her beau had a hand therein, but because he was the City Manager of Columbus, Texas, at the time, the website leans heavily on her influence at the organization's inception.
David Stall's involvement in so political an institution as this quickly led to his dismissal from his city post. Columbus officials were also less than thrilled that Stall had registered CorridorWatch.org using the city's account. Oops.
The Stalls immediately began driving hours in any direction from their Fayetteville home to attend Texas Department of Transportation (TxDoT) meetings to disingenuously participate in the open forum process. As their disinformation spread, they began culling fellow travelers on the no-Road to Anywhere; we here know from first-hand accounts that either the Stalls or members of their growing circle of lubricious surrogates have fanned out across the state to pitch false information on the potential throughway.
If everything with which these CW.org miseducators, and their brethren in groups such as Texas Toll Party, have been frightening or angering these poor residents into intellectual submission were true, the TTC would be a slab of concrete spanning from Beaumont east to El Paso west, and pave the state in totality between San Antonio and Dallas.
Every town to which these people pay a visit is told that they are in dire danger of being diametrically bifurcated by the coming highway, no matter how far east or west they might be. To cite but one fraudulent example, residents of every single city, town and village along the Taylor-Manor corridor have been regaled with egregiously fabricated tales of municipalitive destruction and vociferous eminent domain pillaging.
The problem is, Corridor Watch et. al. are by no means allowing the facts to get in the way of a good beating. Every proposed path (and there are still at the very least three) currently under consideration places the TTC on the northern and southern ends of planned SH-130, which is a good fifteen miles west of the villes in question and in crisis over their alleged impending devastation.
That these Corridor clowns are asserting anything with certitude belies their veracity on all things, because right now NO ONE outside of the TxDoT TTC circle knows anything about any aspect of the plans…………………..”
Classic city-dweller response, m’dear... the TTC would have trashed a he**uva lot more of Texas than just around the Peoples’ Repubik of Austin... FOR NO GOOD REASON!
“I am glad these guys are overreaching because when you see Perry speak, none of these Lawrence O’Donnell tactics stick”
My goodness. You know, when I saw obama speak at the televised democratic convention, I thought his speech would earn him the next presedential nomination. The ability to give a charismatic speech is, unfortunately, not a very good indicator of ability.
Unfortunately his record isn’t nearly as impressive.
Yep. That's our Rick. Elmer Gantry couldn't perform any better.
Perry's a man of achievement----achieved every single college goal he set for himself:
No. 1...to graduate.
No. 2... to be Yell Leader (cheerleader).
No. 3....to be in the Ross Volunteers---Texas A&M Corps of Cadets.
This has gotta be photoshopped.........nobody is that
dumb----to wear a clown sweater for pics. Are they?
And Perry is still a vindictive, RINO opportunist who should go back to hustling Herks.
Two reasons to wear that sweater.....
I used some Spanish so the Perrybots can understand it.
........................ 
The man is an unabashed opportunist. His sudden conservatism comes from his wet finger catching the Tea Party wind. Regardless of what he says now, if you vote for Perry, you will eventually live to regret it.
ROTFLMAO!
