For Perry, the E.P.A. Has Long Been a Favorite Target (NYT thinks it's a bad thing)
The New York Times ^ | September 29, 2011 | John M. Broder

Posted on 09/29/2011 12:03:15 PM PDT by AAABEST

Gov. Rick Perry of Texas has built a political career running against Washington, and no agency more symbolizes what he considers the meddlesome and economy-choking evils of the federal government than the Environmental Protection Agency.

Mr. Perry’s conservative views on business costs, states’ rights, job creation, energy policy and global competitiveness — the core of his governing philosophy — are illuminated most vividly in his clashes with the E.P.A. over issues like pesticide regulation and global warming.

From his earliest days as head of the Texas Department of Agriculture to his current campaign for the Republican presidential nomination, he has struck a consistent anti-regulatory chord.

“he does not want the primary vote of a heartless bigot.”

Hey, he apologized.

You do know some FReepers deserved that comment, right?

shield,

The people here are going to guarantee that we end up with either Obama or Obamalite Romney, just like they gave us Obama and McCain in 2008. It will be the end of the country for both men are poison-the only difference is one works faster then the other one.

The people here do not understand that the forces arrayed against them are playing three dimensional chess while they are playing Tic-Tac-Toe. They are too busy nitpicking about insignificant stuff which does not matter in the greater scheme of things or waiting for someone who is ‘purer then Caesar’s wife’ but who is totally unelectable. They ‘bitterly cling’ to their ‘pet peeve trees’ and do not give a crap if the whole forest burns down. For example, this whole “Gardisil” flap isn’t going to make much difference when the country is destroyed economically and perhaps physically and their precious 12 year old daughters are starving and freezing to death or are killed in the chaos and anarchy that comes with a total collapse of a country from within. At least on the “bright side” they can say that their daughters died for their cause.

In a way I am glad they are doing this because the country that we knew and loved is on its death bed and you can hear the death rattle. The final nail in the coffin was the 2008 election. The damage done by Obama and the Democrats will never be undone-the poison Obama, Pelosi and Reid have dumped into the body of our country is both insidious and terminal. We will have to go through the fire and hope we come out on the other side.

History teaches that when a civilization dies their are areas which are less affected by the collapse then others. These are areas that are generally on the frontiers with strong local leaders/governments that know how to get things done, have a self reliant populace (for the most part-the weak and the invaders will get winnowed out in the initial collapse) which is not psychologically or emotionally heavily invested in the empire and have access to adequate resources and the ability to trade.

So to me the sooner Perry drops out of the Presidential race the better. We have little time left to prepare for the collapse and Texas does not need its Governor distracted by running for President of a dead country.

“Hey, he apologized.”

I never heard him apologize.

“You do know some FReepers deserved that comment, right?”

Really? Which FReepers are heartless bigots?

You are probably right. Having Perry as our governor or Perry as another President of Texas sounds fine with me. Texas has a huge population of US Military whose home base in Texas. They’d be glad to come to Texas and help set it as a separate country. Cause if the rest is going down the tubes...Texas needs to be a Republic again. We have all the resources we need. Will no longer have fed interference and today we have the world’s 13th largest economy. Let the rest go suck eggs. We could even build a fence to keep those from up north invading us. Have a fence on the NM border OKLA border LA border. Have the resources we need on the mexican border. We can stop invaders from every direction.

YOU ARE MAKING UP WHAT HE SAID WHEN HE NEVER CALL YOU A BIGOT. And he never called you heartless either. I seem to remember he was talking to Romney and Wallace.

You are right. He’s got political correctness as his “high moral ground.” That will do in the country at this point. We need someone who is real, pro-American and not self deluded from swallowing the doctrines of liberal racism.

And all you Perry supporters who do not live in Texas you will be welcomed into our state with OPENED ARMS. IF the country is going to fall because of what DC has set up...then we’ll take our loyal Perry supporters to live with us in Texas. We’ll need you and your abilities to help us through what is ahead.

His second debate he said that some of us don’t want to help people with different sounding last names.

ie; bigot.

Last debate, if we don’t want to give illegal aliens a break on tuition, we are heartless. Oh, sorry...we “have no heart.”

Environmentalist nonsense, lawsuit abuse, Big Education, Department of Energy .......Perry wants to stop over regulation, over litigation and over taxation — and that is a good start.

Remember, if you are for a small government, you are an unspeakable liberal RINO.

Only vote for big-government, tax-n-spend honest conservative Republicans!

So implyeth the ‘Perry is EVIL’ crowd.

“They know who they are.”

Oh but I don’t. And you made the very serious charge against your fellow freepers so I’d really like you to back it up.

I didn’t name any names but you want to? WTF for?

You really don’t think everyone here is an angel, do you?

Go through some of the threads where immigration is an issue and you’ll find some.
