It's more the way the pile on and herd mentality is on this site that is the problem. Posting facts is one thing if it's related to the topic of the thread. You spammed a thread to derail it from the actual topic being discussed. Which was Perry's speech.
If you want to give details on his polls then simply start your own thread and call your buddies to pile on all you want. However, your spamming the thread with an off topic graphic doesn't address what he said in his speech. Now is there anything in here that you disagree with or agree with? IF so then state your opinion. If you can't discuss the topic then please kindly find another thread or start your own.
(Chuckles.) You know, you think about that. You know, some hold this worldview that government must be central in our – in our lives and serve as our caretaker. They seek more than equal opportunity, they seek equal outcomes. And you know, those in the White House today don't believe – they don't believe in American exceptionalism. They'd rather emulate the failed policies of Europe.There's plenty more at the link in the OP.But we see what their policies have led to: 14 million Americans out of work, 45 million Americans on food stamps. And according to Wednesday's Wall Street Journal, Bob (sp), nearly half of Americans now receive government benefits.
You know, in response to this economic misery, you know, liberals are now pointing the finger of blame at successful employers under the guise of fairness. But when they utter phrases like "fair share," you just know – (chuckles) – they're once again playing fast and furious with the truth. (Laughter.) (Chuckles.) And the truth is you can't rev up the engine of an economic growth by heaping higher taxes on job creators. You can't spread success by punishing it. You can't unite our country by dividing it.
The answer to our troubles lies in a positive, optimistic vision, with policies rooted in American exceptionalism. See, American exceptionalism is the product of unlimited freedom. And there is nothing troubling our nation today that cannot be solved by the rebirth of freedom – nothing. (Cheers, applause.) I happen to believe in this great country of ours. I believe in the capacity of our people to create prosperity through private ingenuity. I believe in the values of the American people. Americans know anything worth achieving in life requires hard work, not government's handouts. And this present generation of Americans, they're not looking for government to lead the way. They're looking for America to get out of the way so that they can make the most of the freedom for their families.
But you can't live free if you can't find a job. You can't live free if you inherit $46,000 bill in the federal debt. You can't live free when the government gets between you and your doctor.
I believe it's time to revive freedom for our families and our employers. If we're going to get entrepreneurs and small businesses off the mat and on their feet again, we need to freeze all of the pending federal regulations that are out there for the next six months – freeze them all. (Cheers, applause.) We need to cut taxes for families and employers because the only kind of stimulus that will work is the kind that puts more money in your pocket, not government's. (Applause.)
We – we need to repeal the job-killing bureaucratic nightmare that's known as "Obamacare."
As long as Perry and his liberal record are being pushed in this CONSERVATIVE forum I will post in support and defense of conservatism.
