Rick Perry packs potential

[tweener]

Signed bill allowing non documented students (AKA ILLIEGALS ) into Texas University programs.


Will absolutely not get vote over that.

Meh. I am guessing Ron Paul would do the same.

You've got to be kidding.....Ron Paul wants to bring the troops home and put them on the mexican border....

Where do you get your information?

I hope none of this crap is true about Rick Perry....but me afraid some of it actually is.....

Like John Stewart said - "The Moral Majority in tri-corner hats." Not the real Tea-party.

I don't care whether he hangs out in strip clubs. I don't even care whether he's a true believer in small government principles.

I only care whether he will be an effective advocate for small government principles. Whether from conviction or from political opportunism makes no difference to me.

The old definition of an honest politician was one who stays bought. Is he someone who will adopt positions that he thinks will help him win elections, and then drop them in favor of his own agenda the moment he gets into office, or is he someone who will adopt positions that he thinks will help him win elections, and then advocate for those positions once he's in office?

I don't know. But that's the only question that matters to me, and that bundle of accusations doesn't address it one way or the other.

That there is the potential that he might have shaken hands with Al Gore in his lifetime would preclude me from voting for him — ever.

Progressing through the various levels of politics creates, at best, well-intentioned monsters. We would be far better off, I believe, selecting a President by a nation-wide lottery. Buy a $1 ticket and take your chances.

Don't see where we were discussing border security.

The university is just a business. Businesses should be allowed to sell their product to anyone they want. If a private university wants to sell their online class to someone in Spain, why is there an issue? Should I be required to check your papers before selling you a coke? The only reason there is a difference with these "public" universities is due to subsidies. Ron Paul is against all subsidies last I checked.

Bradys are after him now:

I'm sorry, Gov. Perry, I didn't quite catch what you said...

Dear Rob,

Is this the type of President the American public wants?

When asked if he was armed on the campaign trail, Texas Governor Rick Perry smiled and replied, "That’s why it’s called concealed."

Stop this extremism before it reaches
the White House!

The Republican primary campaign has hardly begun and already it is being dominated by extremists. None as scary as Rick Perry who brazenly carries weapons — concealed and revealed. Even on the campaign trail!

Only an egotistical extremist would carry a loaded weapon into a crowd — encouraging others to do so.

Is this where America is headed? Is this the America you want for our nation’s children?

Polls prove over and over again that Americans support sensible gun laws and don’t want guns in public places. Our goal is for our elected officials to reflect the will of the American people, not the "guns everywhere" ideologues.

Please help us with a donation today to stop gun extremists before it is too late.

Sincerely,

Sarah Brady, Chair
Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence

Police = egotistical extremists
FBI = egotistical extremists
Secret Service = egotistical extremists

Got it. That validates all of my fears.

Does Sarah Brady, and her gang of ideological thugs who are addicted to prohibitionism (I think I got all the important metaphores in there ) think these things out before they post them?

That's irrelevant - they know their supporters won't think critically about their drivel, so why take the time?

Brady Campaign: "Perry is running for president! Blood in the streets! Think of the children!"

---> Ka-ching!

NRA: "Obama is president! Knocking on doors to seize your guns! Think of the children!"

---> Ka-ching!

I'd really love for the Democrat Party to recover enough sanity that I could go back to hating both parties equally, again, but I'm afraid I don't see any signs of it happening soon...

You give him too much credit. He's neither a believer nor an advocate.

I'm not giving him any credit at all. All I've done is to explain the criteria I'll be judging him by. I've way too little information about him to make a judgement, as of yet.

To date, all I really know about him is that he's good at getting the MSM to spin off in rants about the "crazy" things he says, in a way that focuses discussion on issues that matter. (Unlike, for example, Bachmann, who's "crazy" things seem to cause the MSM to spin off in directions that don't.)

"He also packs a concealed .380 Ruger loaded with deadly hollow-point bullets, fully equipped with a laser-sight for precise killing. (What, you don't?)"

"deadly" hollow point bullets... at least he didn't call them "dum dums"
