Texas Governor Rick Perry is playing up his status as a “Washington outsider” in a new TV ad released today, which will air on broadcast and cable TV in Iowa.
The ad flashes a picture of the four current or former members of Congress running against Perry in the Republican presidential race: former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum, Texas Representative Ron Paul, and Minnesota Representative Michele Bachmann.
“If Washington’s the problem, why trust a congressman to fix it?” the announcer says. The announcer says Perry’s opponents have spent a combined 63 years in Congress “leaving us with debt, earmarks, and bailouts.”

So, you confess...nice work.
I've never denied it...And I was and am still disappointed Perot didn't win...
I am not the least bit sorry that I did not vote for the anti-American and anti-Sovereignty New World Order, Nafta, the WTO, the Carlyle Group, the CFR and the Tri-Lateral Commission...Or the Build A Burgers...
I did not support the Iraq or Afghanistan wars other than to go in, bomb 'em to pieces and get out...
That's where I and Ron Paul differ...I'm not into Nation Building but I am into Nation destroying, if they are our enemy...
And while on the subject, I'll say that Libya was not our enemy (at the time) and we had no business destroying that country's gov't...
So far, I'm inclined to agree with you...
Funny how congress already changed this in 1933. It was originally set up to have them meet first Monday in December each year.
“The Congress shall assemble at least once in every Year, and such Meeting shall be on the first Monday in December [Modified by Amendment XX], unless they shall by Law appoint a different Day” Article 1 section 4

The man is a true patriot. The status quo of the left and right were scared stiff of this guy. They spent millions to discredit him through the media. Such a shame.
Oh, remember the huge sucking sound of jobs leaving this country....well, you get the point.
Just one last note, employees at EDS knew him to be a stern employer with a heart of gold. They loved him very much.
By the way, the story was named, On Wings of Eagles.
I did not vote for the anti-American and anti-Sovereignty New World Order, Nafta, the WTO, the Carlyle Group, the CFR and the Tri-Lateral Commission...Or the Build A Burgers...
Yeah ya did.
Like Paul, he had good points...but he didn't know everything and his way wasn't always the best way for everybody.
He was a control freak. What he did with his own money...and his company...was his business, but he wasn't the boss of the world like he wanted to be.
That was the GOP under Poppy Bush, but in the end, Perot signed his own warrant by hiring a turd by the name of Scott Barnes. Barnes was a GOP plant and a pathological liar.
Perot had a big grudge against Bush senior. He entered the race to keep him from winning. Of course, I voted for Bush.
And no, I’m not saying I would vote for Ron Paul.
Ron Paul will never, never, never, ever be the nominee.
He has a small, fanatic following that skews the polls.
I’m voting for Perry if it still matters by the time Texas gets to vote (which is ridiculous, by the way).
But I would vote for Ron Paul... I think... or Romney against Obama.
I don’t think even Paul’s foreign policy could be crazier than Obama’s.
Okay, I’m laughing at your tag line.
You’re crazy for voting for Perot but some of your other ideas I totally agree with.
I don’t want America sending troops to help one crazy side against another crazy side over there in the middle east or anywhere else in the world where people are not civilized.
They always go back to their old ways, put another cruel tyrant in power because cruel tyrants are all they understand.
I would, however, use the best spy system possible and if credible evidence that crazy people were getting nuclear weapons arose, I would give them 24 hours warning to get the people out and then bomb the facility.
But Perot ???
Did you even know him? Everyone in Dallas knew the man was crazy as a billionairre can be.
I’m undecided between Santorum and Bachmann.
YO Clear .... from your Home Page

****** “ It is most certainly a campaign gimmick. Perry as president would have no authority nor power to mandate a part time congress. “ *****
But he does “RECOGNIZE” that we have a Constitution and a Declaration of Independence which clearly means that he would work within those boundaries ... unlike the POS that occasionally resides at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave
Gov Perry has my Vote in the Primary... you can vote RuPaul or whoever and in the end we will both vote for a can of chicken soup before we will vote for 0bama.
Thanks for playing
TT
It was daddy Bush and the presidents of Mexico and Canada who came up with the New World Order, Nafta and the WTO...Clinton was against Nafta when he got into the race...Then oddly, he flip flopped after he was elected and became another son of the Bush family...
Little George Bush is the one who finalized putting China into the WTO...
Both parties are and were working in concert to achieve the destruction of the sovereignty of the United States...I suspect they have completely succeeded but I'll still fight for the idea of 50 United States of America...
” - - - Perry saying he will advocate for a part-time Congress, with half the pay and half the staff.”
This is one of the very best ideas to come out of this Primary Campaign.
Nothing will change in the Congress as long as their paychecks remain large.
How about giving Congress men and women $10 bonus for each 1 Billion dollars cut from baseline spending?
Did you even know him? Everyone in Dallas knew the man was crazy as a billionairre can be.
I didn't know Perot...I knew a few things about him based on what he told the American people on tv...
He claimed jobs were leaving the country and it was going to lead to a disaster for the country...On that, I knew he was right...I saw it happening myself...
Perot 'honestly' stated that he had no foreign policy knowledge...He also stated that Presidents recruit and depend on countless foreign policy advisers to rely on and that he would do the same...
That's what the thousands upon thousands of taxpayer paid employees of 'think tanks' within the Country and thruout the world do to keep the President informed and advised...
The weird thing is that these advisors stay in their positions regardless of which Party leads the country...
But I know this...And Perot knows this...
When it came out that Perot left the campaign because he received death threats to his family from someone in the current administration at the time, I believed him...I still do...Politics is nasty...
That was the downfall for Perot...When he came back to the campaign, apparently after he secured his family to his satisfaction, far too many people had chosen to walk away from him like he did them...
Perot was relentless on the Viet Nam MIAs...Whereas Congress kicked them under the bus...
Perot picked a great man as a running mate but was a lousy politician...
Those are the things about Perot that I remember...
Had Perot become President, I think he would have made a real impact on cutting the size of Government and Spending. We would be in the mess we are in today.
