Everyone's terrified of Rick Perry: lefties, righties, and definitely those coyotes he says he executes while jogging. Politico's Ben Smith and Maggie Haberman report that Perry has done what up to this point President Obama could not: "wake up the left." Activists--involved in everything from the death penalty, women's rights, gun control, and campaign finance--are just cold freaking the heck out. "To the degree to which progressives are disaffected and unenthusiastic -- this is their 'holy sh**' moment," Jennifer Palmieri, head of the Center for American Project Action Fund, told Politico. It's funny because many conservatives -- not just the dreaded establishment! -- think it's their own 'holy sh**' moment too."...
IF you'd rather NOT be pinged FReepmail me.
IF you'd like to be added FReepmail me. Thanks.
Rick Perry has run for a political office 10 times and has won all 10. He has never lost.
Allot of people have gone to the political graveyard by underestimating Rick Perry. Its too soon for me to rally around any one candidate, but if Perry is the nominee, Obama without a doubt has to be gravely concerned that he will be number 11.
Wait, are you saying that Rick is his middle name? Oh no, just like Joe the Plumber (aka Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher) he’s obviously trying to pull one over on us. We can’t vote for him now...
It gets worse...his first name is James.
He's a J.R. ...from Texas...
No kidding. I overheard a group of older, upper middle class Jewish people in a restaurant last night talking about how “scary” Rick Perry was. There is obviously no thinking going on - too many people just absorb and repeat the media’s DNC talking points.
Seniors may revolt, and they’re a big voting bloc. So Perry has to be careful.
The WW2 Generation was great in many ways, but, by and large, they have been selfish old geezers.
Jimmy Carter and Rick Perry both have the same first name, James.
Jimmy Carter was once attacked by a giant killer rabbit.
Rick Perry's dog was once attacked by a giant killer coyote.
See the pattern?
We can't vote for Perry, he's just another Carter!
Leftists are really shaken that Perry was once one of them but got wise. They fear that could happen to other sheep in the flock. There is loser despair in their internet posts.
SS has gone to hell since we exported American jobs that paid into SS. Imported labor pays no SS. Putting 25+ million back paying into SS would sure put a dent in the SS problem.
So are most of their children and grandchildren. In fact, we ALL have to be careful about wanting to use government to give ourselves and people we care about other people’s money.
But it would be interesting if they brought up the following questions for ALL presidential candidates to discuss:
1. What is your opinion of one-world-government?
2. What is your opinion of Islam’s rapid spread in our society?
3. Will you allow the establishment of sharia law in any form?
4. What is you opinion of global warming?
5. Will you repeal Obamacare?
6. Now that we are broke, are you going to continue sending aid to third world countries?
True...but he perhaps best captures that same sentiment and the same potential group of voters Reagan did back in ‘80.
Post #9. Great pic. I will be using that in the future. Many, many times. Thanks for posting. A thousand times thanks.
Now THAT sounds like something a certain Governor of California would have said.
I for one just love it. For once we will pick our own, thank you.
Where is she going?
Question for you about your libertarian leaning. I used to say I was more libertarian than Republican until I read what they stand for on their own web site. My question is, do you know what they want/stand for?
From their own site they stand for: Abortion on demand, gay marriage, legalization of all drugs, legalization of prostitution, and open borders. The only thing I found that I agreed with them on was their gun rights stance and wanting smaller government. The rest of their ideas are just the same crap liberals want.
Since I learned exactly what they stand for I have determined that I am a Republican and a strong conservative one.
