Ping for Perry please.
So did Whoraldo Rivera.
It’s nice to see a Perry thread that doesn’t start out attacking another candidate. Maybe they’re learning.
Yes, I beliecve Steve Forbes also endorsed man by the name of Perot a few years back as a spoiler against Pat Buchanan? Perot was a loser, too. I guess with Herman Cain doing as well as he has they decided to dust off ole Steve again.
Herman Cain was Co-Chairman of the Steve Forbes for President Campaign in 2000.
Herman Cain-Running as Outsider, Came to Washington as Lobbyist
Perry supporters, enjoy the moment. Unfortunately he still comes n 5th in Iowa Cocci.

I expect that Perry's speechwriter has endorsed Perry also.
Well then, that settles it for me. I’m voting PERRY! /sarc
Tax reform is needed. Perry’s flat tax proposal would be better then the fair tax. The fair tax opens the door for it morphing into a VAT, a value added tax. No thanks.
More important then tax reform, is spending reform.
Great news.
Some like to hi-jack threads which moves the discussion from the important facts or exciting information of a particular thread to side shows and vendettas.
Anyone who is serious about a pro-growth future for our country and a serious tax reform debate, whether it is flat tax, fair tax, or something like a hybrid 999/909 plan, should simply take a mental note of the tactics of those who turn serious conversations into circuses, be thankful we have several conservative candidates with true messages of conservatism to share, and then just keep on moving forward with peace that you are on the right side.
Thanks to all who honestly and enthusiastically contribute to the conservative reforms our party is going to make with a conservative candidate that will be Obama in 2012!
Will the seven people who care please stand over there on the pier. No, on second thought, don’t bother. It doesn’t matter. That ship sailed 6 weks ago.
We will be seeing The Perry Plan, Perry’s flat tax proposal, economic plan, and entitlement reform package this Tuesday, October 25, but I thought you might like to see what another grassroots individual is saying about Perry’s flat tax plan.

A leading Tea Party ally believes Rick Perry’s call for a flat tax could be a boon to the GOP presidential candidate.
Dick Armey was a key proponent of the flat tax when he was House majority leader in the mid-1990s. Today, he is chairman of FreedomWorks, a grassroots group closely aligned with the small-government Tea Party movement.
Armey said in an interview that he’s anxious to see Perry’s tax-plan details, which the Texas governor will unveil in a speech Tuesday, Oct. 25 in South Carolina.

“I want to make the tax code so simple that even Timothy Geithner can file his taxes on time,” said Perry, joking about the Treasury secretary, who didn’t pay his taxes in full when he was at the International Monetary Fund.

The flat tax also is a central component of magazine publisher Steve Forbes’ 1996 presidential campaign. Forbes is on the board of the FreedomWorks foundation.
“I always said we would pass this into law when America beats Washington, when the grassroots activists and the general interests beat the special interests,” Armey said in the interview. “The majority in the House today is a conservative majority, it’s not a Republican majority.”
Armey, an economics professor by training, said he’d be happy to consult with Perry on the flat tax. But he pointed to his 1996 book on the flat tax as a guide for Perry on how to counter critics of his upcoming plan.
“An awful lot of people make a living from tax complexities and they don’t want that to end,” Armey said.
Santorum called Perry out on that bailout letter in the debate. Govt. begets govt.
I dunno, this seems to me more like Steve Forbes endorsing Perry’s plan, not the man so much.
