Rick Perry keeps being reelected by conservative Texans.

You forgot to mention this last election he hardly was making it until Palin stepped up to the plate...he would not have risen had it not been for that because many concervatives were beginning to identify exactly that Perry is a Rhino...

He never said any such thing. He's always said we need more troops on the border.

While there are National Guard troops on the 2000 mile border with Mexico, only 250 of the 1200 are deployed along the 1200 miles of Texas' border. Perry has repeatedly asked for more -publicaly saying we need 3000 troops for Texas. Read this news report from a year ago. He also pushed the Federal government to allow the military practice to their skills with unmanned Predator aircraft along our border ("They’ve gotta practice somewhere.”)

You posted a statement that claims the exact opposite, If you're telling the truth, it's your responsibility to find the words and back them up.

[TADSLOS]....Perry is cut from the same cloth [as Bush]

A factually laughable assertion.

For once I think I have to agree with CW. Rick and Dubya share some Texas cultural background and some basic attitudes (thank God), but Bush had to go through all that pansy-ass Ivy League mentoring and hectoring and whiteshoe bigotry at home and at school, before he could get with Laura and go back to being real people (and overcome his drinking).

Very different life trajectories, very different family and environmental influences, very different edumacashuns and political careers.

Then there are all the fidelity and orientation accusations that are still out there, that Perry has dealt with via lawyers and closed-door meetings instead of candor.

I think Laura Bush and Anita Perry are probably a lot more similar than their men.

Nice try pulling my post and reframing that it was addressed in such a way as to relate to you....hopefully better minds can identify an Alinsky tactic

Still no source? Did you just write this, or did you copy and paste from a source you don’t want to share?

Are you really going to stand behind “•Ranks # 1 on the poorest gun regulations in the US and highest per capita gun murder rates in the US”

Either Perry gets some credit for the good as well as the bad you protray or he gets none. Which is it?

There are only four states that have grown from 2001 to 2011 and from 2009 to 2011.

I have zero desire to see the nations look like Texas...

I'd like to see Pennsylvania look a little more like Texas.

Texas Gov. Rick Perry said Saturday that he would consider sending U.S. troops into Mexico to combat drug-related violence and stop it from spilling into the southern United States.

Found your source:

Dang, Hoc,
Your computer is faster than mine..That gun stat is from the Brady Campaign. The environmental stat's from earthmatters.org.

Methinks CAWW should be over at some #occupy event, or perhaps emailing the SPLC, hugging a tree somewhere, fighting a whale war..
sheesh, talk about credibility.

•Texas Ranks #1 in population living below the poverty line ( 17.2 % ).

That's called "tons and tons of Mexican illegals settling for very low pay because they're arbitraging wildly different cost-of-living environments".

You just ought to be a lot more careful, amigo, about calling dozens on Texas and Texans, even if one of them is Rick Perry. 'Specially since you're from .... where was it? .... Pennsylvania. Nice little state, been there.

You sound a lot like Willie Green -- "yinzes" up for putting bus lines everywhere, too, Bucktail?

If ya make it harder on the illegals then they self deport. If ya subsidize their college education over that of Americans then you encourage them to stay.

Yes. Sarah is wonderful. For years I posted threads and vanities for her on FR.

Now I’m stumping for Rick Perry, the true conservative in the race.

Yeah, emptying out and freshening up the portacans .....

.....or perhaps emailing the SPLC, hugging a tree somewhere, fighting a whale war....

Very much so. There is plenty one can do to question Perry's employment stats (and the Houston Press does so in their current issue's cover article), without either agreeing with the Houston Press's bomb-throwing left-wing editors or aligning oneself with Code Pink and other moonbats.

You need to link to information. There is no way to know where you got that, what year it was, who complied it and why. Please post links to your “facts.”

Wait, I see a pro-Perry poster has found it at a Civil Rights site. Did you find it at DU — at a Ron Paul site?

Is civil rights one of your issues caww?

Perzackly. That's what Arizona established immediately when they passed their law -- and that's why Barky sued them.

Maybe your source was here, http://freakoutnation.com/2011/09/08/not-so-fast-gov-perry-more-questions-voters-may-want-to-ask/ the source of the civil rights freaks’ list.

To start on debunking your claims from civil rights freaks;

Gun regulations are not Constitutional. Perhaps we could ask Holder and his “Fast and Furious” gang.

How many of our “adults under correctional control” and on probation were brought here by the Feds to their 11 detention centers when they were released from prison by other states? 1/4 of all the Feds ICE detainees are held in Texas http://www.chron.com/news/article/Coming-for-some-at-ICE-jails-bingo-and-1695443.php
