Perry Says He's Best Contrast to Obama
Texas Tribune ^ | Sept 3, 2011 | Jay Root

Posted on 09/03/2011 8:11:20 PM PDT by Clairity

Some analysts suggest Perry is too conservative and too controversial to beat Obama, and that Romney would make a better candidate in the general election. The Texas governor made the opposite argument Saturday.

Perry, who spoke at two house parties in New Hampshire, said he was the only candidate who "draws a clear contrast" with Obama.

"The differences between President Obama and myself are great," Perry said in Manchester. "He's lost more than a million jobs while he's been president. I've created a million jobs since I've been the governor."

....

"I don't support a fence on the border. I think strategic fencing is a part of the strategy," Perry said. "If you build a 30-foot wall from El Paso to Brownsville, the 35-foot ladder business gets real good."

As the man kept pressing, Perry said: "You've got to have people on the ground, sir ... and it's got to be law enforcement."

And I see someone who is so anxious to hurt Perry, that he/she/it resorts to distortion and out and out lies.

Just wanted to post it to someone who agrees with me. The anti-perry flames on these pages are troubling. He is a good candidate and we could hardly hope for a more conservative person in charge.

Well it will be kind of hard for certain people to run for office under your policy as they would be in jail.

“Sounds like you plan on having a military force there anyway. If so, then why do you need a fence? Why pay the huge cost of building it when Perry’s plan is the only thing that actually will work?”

No, you also need a wall that makes for GOOD Neighbors.

As I explained laws in section 8 of Federal Code stipulates that all foreigners here must carry their green card with them at all times.This occurred before 9-11.This has ZERO to do with the TSA groping issue.Americans have every right to know who is moving around amongst them in light of 9-11 especially. Asking for ID is not obtrusive we all get asked for such proofs everyday. There is no logic in your arguments.
Perry left town and did not push for this bill.He also pulled an E-Verify bill written by a staffmember. I know the lobbyist who was in Austin tracking all immigration-related bills.She herself is hispanic.

“NOW a new Lie from YOU Texas has NO Border criminal problem Are you for real??? “

Neither I nor Rick Perry ever said that — you better examine YOUR reality.

In essence, we already do have a “wall”. It's called “Desert” for 30 miles either side of the border. Take out the “watering” stations, phone booths, sleeping stations, marked trails and all the other coddling measures taken to help them cross and the story would quickly change. In addition to that, make them spend hard time in jail for the first offense, and then make it a felony and prison time for repeated offenders.

Perry would have no problem enforcing just that.

She endorsed him for Governor of Texas. She has NOT endorsed him for President of the U.S.A. Besides, who she endorses does not interest me. I make my own judgements based on my research.

Everything I’ve examined about Rick Perry indicates that he is supported by the majority of Texans. Good for Texas. But Gov.Perry plays politics to Power. We have enough of that crap in Washington, D.C. Why have more, and bigger, from Texas?

I'd like to say "not a dime's worth of difference" but that would be untrue.

Perry is the GOP version of Obama.

Over-hyped, Under-vetted, the object of blind worship, pushing government health solutions on the citizens, seeking to take over transportation, a large government slush fund for promoting preferred businesses, willing to sell sensitive industries to China, with questionable ties to Muslims, promoting pro-choice candidates in 2008, and with dubious allegiances to other countries.

There are only two things Perry has going for him:

Okay, make it eleven cents' worth.

They're both narcissistic globalists who like to live high on the hog on other peoples' money.

Cheers!
