You know what they said about W? Time and again they intoned, “W is NOTHING like his father..!! He’s a REAL conservative..!”

They said it a million times.

Here? They say, “Perry would be NOTHING like Dubya..!”

Yeah, sure.

Sorry, I just can’t risk it. It all sounds like a repeat.

NOPE.

The Texas one is diffrent than the federal one.

With that said, he is a squish on that issue.

But why am I defending him; I prefer Thad McCotter or Sarah Palin.

It is clear to those who know former President George W. Bush that he has great respect and affection for the average man and tremendous appreciation for those who have risen through the meritocracy from humble beginnings. However, as one of those "up from the ranks" individuals, I don't believe George W. Bush or any such son of privilege can as fully identify with the average family that lives from paycheck to paycheck as Perry can. Bush loves and appreciates them, Perry is them.

Pure Class Warfare BS....this kind of tripe makes you happy?

A majority of voters are ignorant. And if the lamestream media tells them Perry is just another George Bush they will believe it.

I know this because I'm married to one of those ignorant voters (although I keep working on her).

This is an interesting article...

http://www.statesman.com/opinion/perry-starts-an-honest-immigration-conversation-1867791.html

I don’t know who the writer is, but he touches on some good points, including the genuine concern vs. the knee-jerk reaction that those of us on the right are familiar with.

Excellent, excellent article.

Yes, Perry will get even if crossed, as the column says.

Another character trait: if he’s wrong (and he often is), he will not back down.

Sounds like you are for Obamacare...Mitten’s will NEVER repeal it...in fact, Mittens think it’s just fine for the government to tell us we have to buy health insurance. He also did an EO legalizing Gay Marriage in Mass...

” Perry is more conservative than Bush. He would be the most conservative president since Calvin Coolidge both fiscally and in foreign policy.”

That’s a load of crap. The author is fooling nobody.

The first Bush did extreme damage to our country by getting us into Agenda 21 and giving more power to federal (international) corruption of US education. W’s No Child Left Behind was an extremely unconstitutional and dangerous funding of more federal control over the minds and worldview of our children.

We need to get government out of education and burn all the text books and get rid of the BF Skinner behaviorism inserted into all curricula (BK Eakman). Seriously—I am not kidding.

The generations we are raising are not ACORN thugs by accident...it is by design. Education and immigration are the most serious threats to our freedoms—besides the intentional destruction of morality in our military which reduces our military to the Russian/atheist one or the homosexual/Brownshirt occult worshipping one. We have to teach that our Natural Rights come from God, not Barney Frank.

We need to get back to the fundamental meaning and philosophy of America and quit adopting absurd Marxists and Frank ideologies that destroy every thing that is good and healthy in civil societies.

History proves their ideologies are not only lies which deny Natural Law Theory (foundation of our government), it proves that civil society and morality ends with their adoption.

Guys, guys. You don’t get to that level unless you follow the agenda.

You forget or change you mind, you pushing up daisies.

You follow the script, you can survive any scandal.

It ain’t hard to see.

Is Perry more conservative than Romney?

I think so.

Is he more salable as a candidate?

I think so.

Is he far ahead of the other cosnervatives like Bachmann and Cain?

I think so.

So what’s the problem??

Please provide documented evidence (not scurrilous and libelous opinions) to support your charge about Perry. Perry has been through 3 general elections as governor - if he had done what you say, don't you think the press and the Dems (I know, one and the same) would have trumpeted that to the heavens? Regardless off the innuendo you and the other Perry bashers like to inject into the conversation, no one has ever posted any credible evidence of any "pay to play" schemes. So either put up or shut up.

Dude. Get it right. Perry has frequently said securing the borders is a federal issue, not a state issue. I know your total terror of brown people makes you think that he is open borders - he is not. He refuses to waste too much of his state's money doing a job they simply should not have to. Isn't that a governors job? Give him control of the Federal government and watch the border slam shut.

The crony capitalism thing - yeah, that makes me uncomfortable and I want more information.

Let’s cut to the chase. The nominee will either be Perry, Romney or Palin (if she gets in).

On straight conservative policy issues, I rate Palin first, Perry a close second, Romney well back in third.

Please answer this question:

IF Palin gets in the race, will she split the conservatives and give the nomination to Romney? (I think so.)

I’m going with Perry despite my large disagreement with him over illegal immigration. In my sane moments I understand that the illegal immigration argument was lost years ago. Sarah can only play spoiler at this point.

Romney is not what we need. Perry is much closer to what we need. Sarah is slighter preferable to Perry on policy, but lacks his executive experience and has problematic unfavorable ratings, even within the Republican party.

Logic says Perry for the win.
