Issue |
Perry |
Cain |
|---|---|---|
|
2nd Amendment |
Has a firearm, a CCL, and he uses them. Has a long history of 2nd Amendment support: |
Thinks gun control should be left to the state and local governments placing him at odds with Heller and McDonald. |
|
Abortion |
Perry signed into law a regulation would have required women seeking an abortion to view a sonogram and listen to the fetus's heartbeat while a doctor rattled off a detailed description of the fetus's anatomical development — and then forcibly ponder their decision for an additional 24 hours before an abortion could be performed. |
Pro-life from conception, pro-life from conception, pro-life from conception.
|
|
Gay Marriage (note the so-called 'flip-flop' actually serves to showcase Perry's support of the 10th Amendment) |
Rick Perry has signed a pledge to back a federal constitutional amendment against gay marriage – a reversal from a month ago when the Texas governor said he so supported individual states' rights that he was fine with New York's approval of same-sex marriage. |
Supports traditional marriage, support traditional marriage
|
|
Global Warming / Cap & Trade |
Long history of fighting the EPA as Texas Governor: [The EPA] relied heavily upon findings by climate-change scientists that have been subsequently discredited by the scientists' own e-mails .... |
I don't believe global war-- global warming is real. Do we have climate change? Yes. Is it a crisis, no. And this is why I strongly oppose the-- the cap in trade
|
|
Red Flags |
Use of a liberal term (“heartless”) while discussing an issue (in-state tuition for residents of non-citizens). |
Use of a liberal term (“insensitive”) in referring to a racial accusation before the facts were revealed. |
Maybe because he chooses to fight the real RINO of the bunch, and we know who that is.
I don’t know, I’ve had a check in the gut with Cain from nearly the get go. Maybe it’s like the Left’s answer was all rhetoric Obama from no where, and now the Right’s answer is all the great rhetoric Cain from almost no where. The mutual admiration society between Cain and Romney holds weight with me and it says something. Can’t put my finger on it. Whatever it is, it all sure seems to be aimed squarely at Perry.
I prefer Perry’s experience, but Anybody but Romney and Obama.
Truth is, we never really had a Republican presidential candidate who was tough on illegals since Eisenhower.
‘coming out against Arizona’s attempt to get some control”
That is not true. He was against only “one” part of Arizona’s Immigration Bill. And Arizona changed that part after Perry said what he did.
Perry supported Brewer in the Federal Lawsuit along with our Texas Attorney General.
Perry, signed the dream act.
I agree.
How would he handle immigration...as a border state governor right now?
How does Cain feel about affirmative action.
Will he release his college transcripts? Now?
There is no voting record to judge him by.
I'm sure the MSM will vet him a lot more than Obama ever was but I would like it before the primary vote...not after.
I want to know everything I need to know BEFORE I vote in the primary...he is the least known.
No, doc said Cain is jumping all over liberals, like the OWS goons.
Fair enough. Can we agree to cut Perry the same level of slack on his "heartless" comment?
While Cain has been campaigning since last December, Perry only got in last August. National politics are a little different than those here in Texas. We still have a few conservative Dems in this state --not many, of course.
“Fair enough. Can we agree to cut Perry the same level of slack on his “heartless” comment?”
The problem for Perry was that he used that term to defend a liberal policy.
?
Thanks, that's important to know.
Please, don’t put words in my mouth ... I asked a legitimate question. A question that needs to be asked. And no, I don’t think Cain is a liberal.
I can certainly agree. I am not 'all about Rick Perry'. I do not believe anybody should be all about any one candidate. Our 3 branches of government were formed to prevent such tyranny.
I also trust legislatures and congress to keep the executives in line.
Ugh. I see. It’s definitely past my bedtime. Thanks for the clarification. Good night all.
No, this is Rick Perry on the record in his own words issued directly from the Governor's Office:
“Legitimizing" the "economic contributions” of illegals by giving them the right to live here IS AMNESTY.
That Rick Perry believes he can out of one side of his mouth say we should give legal status to the illegals in the United States and out of the other side of his mouth say he does not favor "amnesty" just shows what a typical double-talking politician he is.
This is just as dishonest as Bush-McCain-Kennedy and the other cheerleaders for "comprehensive immigration reform" claiming that their bill to legalize the illegals was "not amnesty" because they would require the illegals to pay a small fine.
And then we discovered buried in the fine print were provisions providing mucho tax dollars to organizations such as National Council of La Raza, so even this small fine was not what it appeared.
This double-talk just shows that Perry thinks we're stupid, just like Bush and McCain and Kennedy.
If President Rick Perry legally gives the right to live in the U.S. to people who have broken our laws and invaded our country by the millions and are costing us tens of billions of dollars every year in our schools, emergency rooms, jails and prisons, court system, welfare system, identity theft, gang activity, drunk-driving deaths and untold other social costs, then THAT IS AMNESTY.
And Perry says he will legalize them, but not give them citizenship? Who really believes that? Does anyone here really believe modern America and the vast liberal media-academic-entertainment industrial complex will be okay with imposing a permanent "second-class citizen" status on a huge block of people?
Betting the ranch on that is like expecting to fill a royal flush, which only happens in the movies.
You repeatedly make that same claim, even though you know it's not true. Why do you do that?
Sorry, doc. See my post 50. My bad. Good night.
