Perry's campaign was on the brink of oblivion and news about the Perry ranch name pushed it over the brink into Never-Never Land. In point of fact, for most Americans, Perry was done before he ever started. His in-state Dream Act alone was enough to seal his fate.

Perry family's longtime hunting camp is situated on a vast, 42,000-acre ranch that reaches into three counties. It was common in those pre-Great Society days to name property after its shape---hence the offensive name.

Politicians have a nasty habit of covering-up a shady past by acting like "humanitarians." Makes me wonder what the "magnanimous" LBJ was hiding down there in Texas.

Perry resorted to sucking up to illegals.

The Perry "RANCH"?

FALSE!

Did you fall for The Race Card or do you just like to throw The Race Card out yourself?

See Post 88.

The land in question was NEVER a "Perry RANCH". The Perrys have NEVER owned that land and NEVER gave that land that name.

That land was named years ago, by NOBODY in Perry's family, maybe sometime in the 1800's, before Perry was ever born.

In several English-speaking countries, Ni##erhead or ni##er head is a former name for several things thought to resemble a black person's head. ..... The term was once widely used for all sorts of things, including products such as soap and chewing tobacco, but most often for geographic features such as hills and rocks. In the U.S., more than hundred "Ni##erheads" and other place names now considered racially offensive were changed in 1962 by the U.S. Board on Geographic Names, but many local names remained unchanged .... Ni##er Head, an island in North Queensland, Australia ..... Ni##erhead hunting camp, the former name of a hunting camp of Texas governor Rick Perry, renamed to "North Camp Pasture".

Years ago, maybe even in the 1800's, that name was carved on a rock. Years ago, Perry's FATHER LEASED that land as hunting land and PAINTED OVER that old name that had been carved on a rock who knows when, maybe a hundred years ago.

Now, people like you, are SPREADING FALSE AGITPROP that the named belonged to a "Perry RANCH".

Then, some FReepers wonder how liberal Mitt Romney could possibly be leading in the GOP polls.
