You have NO way of knowing IF $55 million has or has not been raised. Because as you stated this document is a ‘planning document’.
IT IS A FACT that Governor Perry less than a year ago stated publicly he was NOT going to run for president.
Excuse me while I attempt to discover the ‘FACT(s)’ that made him change his mind. IT goes to the character of a person who is seeking my vote to stop this insanity that is over US. AND claiming Reagan was a democrat and changed his party affiliation will NOT hold water. WE have the literal ‘FACTS’ of what Reagan stood for and Perry is an unknown, most especially since he was out to lunch even after 8 years of President Reagan.
Really? Exactly what do you think that Reagan stood for when he was a Democrat? Would you be surprised to know that Perry was much more conservative as a Democrat than Reagan was as a Democrat? Would you be surprised to know that Perry started voting for Republican candidates for President at a much younger age than Reagan did? You might want to double check your "facts".
We have the article. The ONLY place where $55 million is mentioned. And it doesn’t SAY they raised $55 million. It says they plan to SPEND that much.
If they had RAISED $55 million, the article would have said they raised $55 million. The statement that they have raised $55 million is a fabrication.
If they had said they hoped to spend $100 million, would you insist they had already RAISED that much? Probably, I guess. As I said, maybe this isn’t one of those threads where facts matter.
It is a fact that Perry said he wasn’t going to run. People convinced him to change his mind. If you watched his talk in Tim Scott’s town hall meeting saturday, you would know why he changed his mind. If you cared about the facts, you would watch to find out the facts, and not assert unsupported claims that some PAC raised $55 million dollars already, as a way of falsely smearing a candidate you claim to want the facts for.
I am glad he changed his mind. I don’t know if I’ll support him, but we need good conservatives to step up to the plate.
So, why do you think he changed his mind? What reason for changing his mind would make a difference to you?
