Well, I have seen and have participated in that thread so its no shock to me. I don’t agree with Perry on that one.
Not gonna happen Lakeshark. Why would any respectable citizen get into politics. Call me jaded, but you have to know the “game”. It is what it is.
I will now eat this message and self-destruct, lol. :)
I’m in a wait-n-see status on Perry. I’m going to ignore all the attack stories being posted by Paultards and those trying to push Romney back to the top, and decide for myself from what I see from him over the next several weeks. The next debate or two will either solidify my support for him, or will make me rally around Bachmann or others who may still jump in. I still think Palin is going to throw her hat in, and if she does it’s a whole new ball game.
Many of our presidents have had good character, character is destiny......cough up the message before it's too late!!!
:-)
It's a huge problem. How can he think it's okay to have illegals in our armed forces at all?
Yep she did, and that's public knowledge and unlike a Perry supporter I won't screech over public knowledge and facts.
Palin DOES have a 50 - 60% disapproval rating
Seriously? you want to act like a French surrender monkey over this? Maybe you should concentrate on voting for American Idol instead of American President, for goodness sakes.
Palin DID support the Bridge to Nowhere before she opposed it
Alright let me see if I've got this correct...
You are upset over the bridge to nowhere that would connect Alaskan resident to Alaska's International Airport. That would've cost $400 million dollars.
But you're A-okie-dokie with the 14.4 BILLION dollars that Rick Perry took in Stimulus to cover budget shortfalls? You're OK with the infringement to eminent domain that Rick Perry used to move his Trans-Texas corridor scheme along? Your alright with the 300 million dollars he appropriated from state tax payers to hand over to private business that funded his reelection campaign.?!?!
The list keeps going on and on...
Well you know I have to ask which President has not had to conpromise his character.
Sorry Onyx, but Sarah has not been tested on illegal immigration, so its an apples and oranges comparison. I guarantee you that if Sarah becomes prez (praise the Lord) she will say and do things that we are not going to like, just like Reagan did, but she will be a great President nonetheless.
I'd say Reagan was our last great president with fine character.
No one is perfect (Reagan was not perfect), but good character brings out greatness.
I don’t know, he needs to be questioned on that. We have several months before the first primary to do that. Sarah should also be questioned on whether or not she supports it. What if she supports that idea, what will you do?
Holding someone to their record is an attack.
Rick Perry has exactly the same problem Romney has...his record.
Herman Cain is exponentially less flawed, as are Bachman and others. I would still like to see a dark horse enter the race, perhaps Brewer.
Under no circumstance will Romney or Perry get my vote.
It's a matter of having a good president and not just a good candidate.
Correction.
He was asked if he wanted the same law AZ has to be passed in TX. He did not say “I don’t like the law”. He said it was ok for AZ because they felt it fit their situation as a state. But he did not feel the exact same law would fit Texas.
But you knew that...
Dont’ get me wrong, I’m not so anti-Perry as to dismiss him if he were to win and run against Bambi, but this stuff has got me a bit ticked off right now, I don’t want to support him as the GOP nominee if he’s an amnesty squish.
He’s been unclear about it, and he did say he didn’t like the law for use in Texas. I have no idea why he said that (pandering?), and neither do any of us really, but it gives me pause as it should you......
Reagan was a great president..no doubt about it.
But his greatness was not recognized by most until many years later. Believe me, I was around for his administration, and he didn’t have loads of praise heaped on him. Even he compromised his beliefs.
Character should be the most important single qualification for choosing a President.
More than anything else, we need to trust our leaders.
If you have any qualms whatsoever about trusting a person to lead the country and our troops in a war, they shouldn't be President.
Agreed, but by the end of his presidency I thought he would become known as the greatest president of the twentieth century. I still believe that.
Hmmmm, maybe because the Feds put the cease and desist on Az law? I like the Az law, but in the last few days The Won granted back door amnesty, didn’t he?
