“You can’t tell me that America is not exceptional. You can't tell me that because I've seen it”

"Rick Perry has always remained faithful." -- First Lieutenant Daniel P. Moran

[6:45] Medal recipients tell of their sacrifice and the sacrifice of their fellow heroes -- and why they support Rick Perry.

Even if you don't support Gov. Perry, please watch these men and hear their words.

When 9-11 happened, I watched the heroes run into the building to save people, I watched them working hours on end well past the point of exhaustion trying to save whoever may have been left alive. I watched all of this with my heart in my throat and thought WE produce people like this.

Watching this video gives me the same feeling of awe. WE-America-produce men like this.

You are making my point! Perry poll numbers are < 10 % BECAUSE:

” - - - Perry has been on that hymnal page for years.

He has the plans. - - - “

Perry will stay “on that Hymnal Page for years” after this campaign season is over as long as he does NOT “break out above the noise!”

“Don’t rock the boat, be PC, don’t offend ANY group of voters, etc, etc,” is the very surest way to lose a campaign, in my humble, but ALWAYS correct opinion.

Perry MUST capture the imagination of those of us who want a much smaller Federal Government by FREQUENTLY (MSM needs fuel 24/7), releasing portions of his Government reduction plan in a manner that “gets him above the noise.”

His previous statements on Soc.Sec. Ponzi scheme is an excellent example of how to “get above the noise.”

Quote from the more controversial parts of his book “Fed Up,” be the cheer leader for a smaller US Federal Government, embrace conflict with the damned MSM, LEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If Perry can’t do that now, then why should we trust him to have the backbone to downsize the US Federal Government? Wimps need not campaign for POTUS.

This is it! Nanny-State Newt or Willy-Rom-Rom-RINO are poised to whup up on Perry in the next three States elections.

If Perry wants to win he has to stop being the 12 th Man standing and cheering as America loses to BIG Government RINOS in the most important game in our Republic.

Perry must QUICKLY jump into the bloody field of political battle as if America’s Financial Future depended on only HIM!

BTW, gig ‘em Rick!

Yes. And the country exploded with American flags because in our grief we were proud of those heroes and wanted to stand up too. The country was united.

Now we have Metal of Honor Military Veterans endorsing Perry. You’d think the numbskulls would finally get it.

Who, the "Metal" winners or the regular veterans who probably already have?

Perry needs to either take some smart pills or give his speaches on concrete parking lots where he can't dig his own grave.........

Perry is brilliant...you might take sometime to watch him give speeches and interviews. Don’t tell me you have cause you’d have not made such an ignorant statement otherwise. Texas is leading this country in jobs and job creation guess that dummie had nothin’ to do with that...right?

Thanks for the hotlink. Lots of people will never read, or study up on Rick Perry. They will form their opinions on Perry from what they hear from their peers, and from the MSM.

To break out of the dull roar of the MSM-controlled COURT OF PUBLIC OPINION, Perry must HIMSELF “break out above the noise.”

The MSM needs fuel 24/7, so Perry needs to FREQUENTLY feed them as HE wants to. Newt is very good at that. Cain reacted to the MSM, and lost. “Lead, follow, or get out of the way” very nicely describes the 3 groups of remaining Candidates.

If Perry wants to lead, then he must do so in a manner that captures OUR imagination. Reagan was a master at that because he always spoke above the heads of the MSM,- - - - he spoke directly TO the people. Nobody does that now, so here is ANOTHER way for Perry to “get above the noise.”

Tell Perry to forget about getting the support of the MSM because they will support the Obamanator regardless of facts and events.

Tell Perry to campaign as if he really did want to be the first US President to significantly downsize the US Federal Government.

Tell Rick Perry to campaign as if he wanted to be the first President since Van Buren to to not have any National Debt. ( it may take Perry 8 years, instead of 4.)

Tell Rick Perry to talk directly to WE, the TAXED ENOUGH ALREADY, and the MSM will grudgingly have to broadcast his speeches.

BTW, good luck as I know that you can tell a politician something, but you can’t tell him much.

Just pointing out the obvious to you sir.......Once again, how many judges on the SCOTUS?

WE had fun with Obama over that "56" state gaff, the MSM is going to excoriate Perry if he gets the GOP nomination...........

Like I said, he'd better start taking smart pills........

I don't know what "speaches"

With barely a high school diploma, I may not know how to spell "speech" but at least I know how many judges are on the Supreme Court..........

Maybe I should run for president too..........

I'm a she, first off. FNC spun it and flat out lied regarding the 8 justices and you bought it hook, line and sinker. What Perry was talking about was the prayer ban in school. In 1962 vote was 8-1. EIGHT unelected judges...yet FNC spun it and lied to you, he never said 8 justices on the USSC. So you just bought it since you are opposed to Perry. Do some research and quit being gullible and so trusting with the MSM. FNC has become as untrustworthy as the others.

I see by your flag page that you now live in Chile.

Someday would you post a thread that includes an article on the “Chilean Model of Social Security?” Please ping if you do post that thread.

This could be even better for Perry than the Galveston, Texas SS Model.

Thanks!

BTW, MERRY CHRISTMAS!

BTW, BTW, out here in West Texas we put an “i” in front of some words containing an “a.” For example, “I’m going to the Biank, and I will use their parking spiaces.” It is a local accent, but at least we can understand each other.

Actually, I'm not opposed to any GOP candidate and today is the first comment I've ever offered about Perry (that I can remember).

While he may be able to deliver pre-written speeches that make people swoon, when talking off the cuff he leaves much to be desired.

I haven't fallen for anything as you claim, I'm merely commenting on what I have actually seen and heard......

Check out the 1:10 comment in this video and then tell me where I was wrong...

8 Judges? YOU be the judge

Perry knows how many Supreme Court Justices there are. His reference to 8 was regarding this...

Don’t believe what you hear regurgitated by others.

“So sorry to hear of your loss, I don’t think you ever mentioned it before. When did he serve in Nam and when did he pass away?”

Thanks. My husband served two tours. 1967-68, and 1969-70.
He died this past April from what they say was exposure to AO. He suffered greatly from cancer for the last three years. I don’t know if you cry for your loss or if you cry because the pain has finally stopped for him. :(
I don’t think there’s anyway to talk about it until you make that decision.

We only have two candidates on either side who have served their country in uniform.

Have you read 'Fed Up'? He has a chapter 6 on 9 unelected judges tell us how to live. 8 justices ruled to ban prayer in public school that is what he was talking about and has even clarified it since the MSM are again making up what he said. I watched that video and he said 8 unelected judges and was speaking of the ban of prayer in public school...again that was the number who ruled to ban prayer.

A gaffe ain’t a gaffe . . .

Perry is right, the media is either ignorant or deliberately deceitful, I suspect both.

Eight unelected judges ended prayer in school. Yes, eight. With one dissenting vote.
