Yep, the Palin folks will certainly back that up. LMAO
You're pushing a Bush clone. Yes I know there is friction between the Bush folks and the Perry team. The fact remains.
Can't you folks see the dangers of supporting another Bush-like character to the White House?
Here we go defeating true Conservatism for another eight years.
When do we start moving back to the right? If not now, when?
We need a real Conservative in there, and any honest person looking at Perry's history knows he is not one.
Frankly, despite the breathless, wild-eyed megaposts put up by Palinstinians, I haven't seen a whole lot beyond his support for illegal aliens to convince me that Perry's a RINO or a bad candidate. And shoot, if we want to talk about someone being soft on IAs, well, we can talk about SARAH! too.
The Gardasil thing? When numerous Texans tell me that the real story is way different from what we hear on FR, I tend to believe them, since I tend to believe people who are right there with first hand experience over weirdos living in New Hampshire posting up half-literate screeds on an internet forum.
Same pretty much goes with the Trans-Texas corridor thing - apparently what actually happened, and what Palinstinians on FR post up, are two different things.
As for Pam Geller and Robert Spencer, well, I sort of tuned them out years ago.
