Rasmussen: Perry 29%, Romney 18%, Bachmann 13% (Perry leads Romney by double digits)

After reading your post....I wonder

“who da heck are all these people pushing Perry?”

I already knew he had a lot of baggage...but I did not realize how much he still had left at the airport

Barick OPerry sounds more like him. Sounds like Obama’s pick to replace Biden...not the GOP presidential candidate

"DRey says: Nice smear. Too bad it’s inaccurate."

If the truth is a smear, then don't blame anyone except the person whom that smear originates from and in this case, it is Perry. Too bad, you're such a pushover.

grey_whiskers says:"With a post like that you've cheesed off nearly *everyone*."

If the truth is a cheesy to you, grey_whiskers, then you're doing the right thing by supporting another liar in chief like Perry. How's that Obama vote going for ya? I'll bet you're pleased as punch, huh!?.

Sacajaweau says:"There's a BIG PICTURE to tis Presidency thing."

Why yes I agree, Sacajaweau, there is. I notice you failed to mention what that is for you, though. C'mon, share with us, won't you? What is you "big picture?" And Perry's big picture is big one world government, big debt, big deficits, big lies and big brother.

Here's just a small sample of the truth that Perry owns:

As a border state governor, Mr. Perry signed state immigration law in 2001 known as the Texas DREAM Act.

Here is an excerpt from a speech Governor Perry gave during the border summit in August of 2001:
“We must say to every Texas child learning in a Texas classroom, "we don’t care where you come from, but where you are going, and we are going to do everything we can to help you get there."
And that vision must include the children of undocumented workers. That’s why Texas took the national lead in allowing such deserving young minds to attend a Texas college at a resident rate. Those young minds are a part of a new generation of leaders, the doors of higher education must be open to them. The message is simple: educacion es el futuro, y si se puede."

- Toll Roads and Trans Texas Corridor
- Is it socialism, fascism or communism?
Keeps trying to ram Trans Texas Corridor (TTC) down Texans throats.
Massive land grab.
Toll roads are gargantuan TAX INCREASES, debt time bombs and an attack on property rights.
Rick Perry has instituted a huge tax increase in Texas in the form of toll roads; going from zero debt on roads to $30 billion in toll road debt in 10 years as Perry sells off Texas' public infrastructure.
They will financially blow up later, just like real estate market did, because of the high leverage. (2003-2011).

For more info: email Terri Hall at terri@texasturf.org

Contact Linda Curtis – of IndyTexans at ljcurtis@indytexans.org; she can tell you how Perry is controlled by monopolistic corporations definitely NOT interested in “free market” enterprise and competition.

Here is her case for impeaching Perry as governor:

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

- HPV vaccine mandate - attack on parental rights.
Tried to force every 12 year old girl in Texas to take Gardisil shots because his former Chief of Staff Mike Toomey is a lobbyist for Merck.
Perry literally tried to mandate this by executive decree as if he were a Hillary Clinton dictator until the Texas legislature crushed it overwhelmingly. (2007)

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

FLDS El Dorado raid (2008) – Another massive attack on parental rights and peaceful home schoolers; Religious Oppression.
438 children ripped away from parents and traumatized for months.
Out of control Child Protective Services goons raid, approved by Rick Perry, and based on a CRANK phone call from Colorado alleging child abuse; breaks up dozens of families.
Of ALL the outrageous things Perry has done, this may be the WORST as he criminally traumatized and endangered dozens of peaceful families.(2008)

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

- Played politics with the death penalty case of Cameron Todd Willingham –
Perry refused to give him a stay. Willingham had been convicted of murdering his family via an arson determination that was based on junk science.
Even worse, Perry later removed 3 members of board of the Texas Forensic Science Commission that was investigating the case and put political pressure on the head of the panel.(2009)

Supported whopping $3 Billion Cancer BONDS, the Lance Armstrong cancer tax – more taxing, borrowing and spending. (2007).

Shortly after he became governor in 2000, Perry signed a hate crimes bill that included gays among the protected groups.
He appointed a moderate, Grace Shore, to chair the State Board of Education.
He called for expansions of the state’s Medicaid and Children’s Health Insurance programs (which are now bankrupting our state).

Hi CC,

Thanks, glad you like the posts!

I can tell I’m not popular in some quarters around here ;)

OK so you are saying that Bachmann did NOT hire Ed Rollins etc? Youi are now bearing false witness on me, so give it up!

There are multiple links, I will give you the very latest

You are absolutely 150% correct, thank you!

Seriously ?
Rove & Co. as well as Fox , are desperately shopping some more establishment controlled candidates to stop Perry . Rove is out there peddling Ryan , Christie and even Palin in an attempt to damper Perry .

Perry is getting attacked by the Left and by the Repub establishment . That’s a very good sign for Perry .

"He's still an American citizen by birth, not naturalization. I understand what you're saying, but bottom line is the Supreme Court won't challenge their own precedent"

Why should we support further erosion of our constitution? One time is one too many. Our founders had a very good reason to specify "natural born citizen":

"No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President"

Rove is all over the board. Last night he was all warm fuzzies for Perry. I think Rove is losing his grip on reality.

He hits people one day and slobbers over them the next. I think that most of us, whether for Perry or for someone else, can agree that Rove is a RINO POS.

"Don’t let either of those bother you. Neither one of them happened. Gardasil vaccine to prevent cervical cancer thrown in with all the other state-mandated vaccines for school kids? No. The people freaked out (me included) and it never happened. Even if it had, it wasn’t REQUIRED. Same with the corridor. It didn’t happen. He isn’t perfect, but by God he listens to the People. Did you hear what he did in Texas, throwing out the liberals that write our textbooks?"

That’s excellent info – I did a brief five year stint in Baton Rouge, LA (just in time to go through Katrina and Rita), then moved back to Texas. I lost track of Texas politics because I was ridiculously busy during that time - working to save a company and make the founders rich (you know - evil capitalists who risked their family money to employ 200 people and make some of them pretty comfortable).

Wow, Jackstick, that was a mouthful of rot. So much so I didn’t bother reading it. Enough with the lies and misrepresentations. Talking longer and louder still doesn’t make it “right.”

It’s way too early. This thing is likely to go the distance. Although Perry is the flavor of the month he certainly has a lot of Democrat history on his resume. Any of the GOP candidates could beat Obama.

Thank you!!! 100 percent correct.

“OK so you are saying that Bachmann did NOT hire Ed Rollins etc?”

No, I never even implied that. That, the hiring of Rollins, is undisputable and verifiable fact. It is the hearsay stories about Bachmann supporters doing bad stuff that may be false witness. Hearsay is not fact and is not even admissible evidence in a court of law....and for good reason...it is just gossip.

I agree with you on Rove . Rove is doing all he can to insert a handpicked establishmentarian into the race .
