Well, smooth, I spoke too soon about the PDS coyotes.
Looks like this caryokie is some important biggie, he clams to write speeches and looks likes he’s written a few here for Mutt or RON. Maybe is just an audition and we are just practice.
LOL! Important to someone I hope. Hopefully we all are! :)
It is FR etiquette to ping someone when you’re talking about them.
The post says I wrote it for Bill Simon. I'm not claiming to be some big time player, I merely sent it to him as a suggestion. I'd met the guy a couple of times early on and attended one party function just before he won the GOP nomination for governor of California. That's it. Simon is a SOCON, and a far cry from either Romney or Ron Paul. So if that's your standard for paranoid projections masquerading as conclusions, it says a lot more about the reasoning ability of Perry's backers or, more accurately, the lack thereof. Nor was I "stalking" Perry threads. I saw an interesting title on the sidebar and read it, and what did I find but the usual Perry cheerleaders. Sadly, I had to teach them that good criticism too often masks bad remedial policy. It wouldn't be the first time that was true.

Please, I have a lot more to do than to seek work in political activism. This crew is hardly worth the effort. When the full-time on-the-party-payroll drum beaters like FairOpinion (since banned) get here, it looks to be quite the battle a brewing. As to spamming and shilling, I haven't even picked a candidate yet. OTOH, having a record of the bogus character assassination, characteristic of Perry's backers, of a long time FReeper who actually posts original material is rather handy for future reference should I choose to become a committed opponent. Nor did one of you ever show how the policy Perry proposes is superior to what I offered with which to contrast Perry's ideas with a less centralized and more free-enterprise and customer-oriented approach.
But hear this and hear it thoroughly: If a candidate proposes a bad idea I will call it as much, and I don't care who it is. As far as I am concerned, State testing in universities is moving in the wrong direction compared to removing the barriers to free-enterprise validation services and its analogy to No Child Left Behind is hardly vague. So, if you choose to back a candidate who later shows to be far less than he or she appeared or claimed to be, I will hold you accountable for your support until you repudiate it as there are a number of FReepers who will tell you.
This is a primary in an election against a destructive Marxist for whom there is little possibility of winning against any conservative in the race (with the possible exception of Palin who, AFAIAC, has poisoned her own well with her unwillingness to make substantive proposals instead of mindless cheer-leading). Best we select the person who most firmly represents conservative principles, "he can win" be damned. That's how we got Reagan. The compromise "he can win" principle got us Nixon, Schwarzenegger, and both Bushes. Yet it has been the disastrous consequences of electing "moderates" that got us Zero in the first place.
Perry talks a good game, but it is obvious that there is less to what he says than there first appears to be. It is in the details that we learn how the man plans to govern. In that regard I am not totally discouraged with him, but neither am I pleased (particularly as regards illegal aliens). There are others in the race who better exemplify conservative free-enterprise principles.
The behavior of a candidates backers also reveals much. In that regard, you have all done much to damage your cause.
