Reagan ran the biggest state in the union. Obama was a community organizer. Obama cannot say anything without his speech writers and his teleprompter.

Stuttering??? You want to see a video of Hussein Obama without his teleprompter? He is the king of stuttering!!! LOL

That is a Chinese firm opening up shop in the U.S. and providing American jobs, I think. You have a problem with Americans working for multi-national companies operating in the U.S.?

You gotta do better than that, good buddy:)

Only for people who follow left wing propaganda and don't look at the facts of the story, is this a "real" issue.

A faction of the Texas Legislature, in a protest over Federal oversight, declared themselves willing to secede from the U.S. in a states rights issue.

When asked about this, Gov. Rick Perry said he could understand their anger over this federal oversight issue and see their point. He stopped short of endorsing secession.

I have no problem (REPEAT) I have no problem with a President who thinks that the federal government in too far immersed in the state's business, and by extension, in the people's business.

:thumbup:

I think everyone needs to slow down and research Perry if you don't think he is radical. He is more anti than pro on so many levels it is scary. Just because he fits into your small box of beliefs, try to consider the 250 million people that will not be welcome in that box. If you support Perry, your forgetting about the poor, the old, minorities, gay etc. etc. etc. I'm just saying. I support the things Perry stands for, but I also understand that the United States is made up of more than just Wealthy White Men. I am a Wealthy White Straight Man, but I just can't kick someone to the curb when they fall short of my accomplishments. I always refer my mind back to the Sermon on the Mount before condemning.

I would not sound the alarm bell just yet. Do you really think our present President represents all 320 million of us? What about the millions and millions of citizens that cannot find jobs because of Obama's policies? He is destroying our economy and that cannot be good for all of us.

Me thinks you're the one who needs to do some research and resist relying on your emotions like you do. We already have the most radical President in history in the White House.

You're a wealthy white straight man? Mozel tov!! Please don't indulge your guilt over that to demand that all people in the same "agony" surrender all their hard earned resources to prop up a failed entitlement culture that doesn't even address your "guilt" but makes a mockery of it.

How about donating your time to enable and encourage others to get off their slacker butts and work and labor to capture their own dream, where they will gain the same sense of satisfaction of reaping what they sow; just as you did. That will be much more satisfying than to just believe the government has a right to as much of your hard earned cash as they want to spread around for purposes that have nothing to do with your ideals.

You can still always just give your money to your dearest charity if you still have a need to do so.

OK we agree with this statement, so what I am asking is not to go from far left radical to far right radical. Lets get someone elected that will work for the majority of Americans.

Your Right Villagegolfer, but to go to the extreme in the other direction does no good for the country, it only makes the other side mad. Lets elect someone to help the majority. I think the hard right is just as crazy as the hard left. Mitt stands in the middle and has a chance of winning. If we put all our money and energy into a Bachmann or Perry, we are just reelecting Obama for 4 more years.

The American Dream
Waking People Up And Getting Them To Realize That The American Dream Is Quickly Becoming The American Nightmare




The following are 14 reasons why Rick Perry would be a really, really bad president....

#1 Rick Perry is a "big government" politician. When Rick Perry became the governor of Texas in 2000, the total spending by the Texas state government was approximately $49 billion. Ten years later it was approximately $90 billion. That is not exactly reducing the size of government.

#2 The debt of the state of Texas is out of control. According to usdebtclock.org, the debt to GDP ratio in Texas is 22.9% and the debt per citizen is $10,645. In California (a total financial basket case), the debt to GDP ratio is just 18.7% and the debt per citizen is only $9932. If Rick Perry runs for president these are numbers he will want to keep well hidden.

#3 The total debt of the Texas government has more than doubled since Rick Perry became governor. So what would the U.S. national debt look like after four (or eight) years of Rick Perry?

#4 Rick Perry has spearheaded the effort to lease roads in Texas to foreign companies, to turn roads that are already free to drive on into toll roads, and to develop the Trans-Texas Corridor which would be part of the planned NAFTA superhighway system. If you really do deep research on this whole Trans-Texas Corridor nonsense you will see why no American should ever cast a single vote for Rick Perry.

#5 Rick Perry claims that he has a "track record" of not raising taxes. That is a false claim. Rick Perry has repeatedly raised taxes and fees while he has been governor. Today, Texans are faced with significantly higher taxes and fees than they were before Rick Perry was elected.

#6 Even with the oil boom in Texas, 23 states have a lower unemployment rate than Texas does.

#7 Back in 1988, Rick Perry supported Al Gore for president. In fact, Rick Perry actually served as Al Gore's campaign chairman in the state of Texas that year.

#8 Between December 2007 and April 2011, weekly wages in the U.S. increased by about 5 percent. In the state of Texas they increased by just 0.6% over that same time period.

#9 Texas now has one of the worst education systems in the nation. The following is from an opinion piece that was actually authored by Barbara Bush earlier this year....

•  We rank 36th in the nation in high school graduation rates. An estimated 3.8 million Texans do not have a high school diploma.

•  We rank 49th in verbal SAT scores, 47th in literacy and 46th in average math SAT scores.

•  We rank 33rd in the nation on teacher salaries.

#10 Rick Perry attended the Bilderberg Group meetings in 2007. Associating himself with that organization should be a red flag for all American voters.

#11 Texas has the highest percentage of workers making minimum wage out of all 50 states.

#12 Rick Perry often gives speeches about illegal immigration, but when you look at the facts, he has been incredibly soft on the issue. If Rick Perry does not plan to secure the border, then he should not be president because illegal immigration is absolutely devastating many areas of the southwest United States.

#13 In 2007, 221,000 residents of Texas were making minimum wage or less. By 2010, that number had risen to 550,000.

#14 Rick Perry actually issued an executive order in 2007 that would have forced almost every single girl in the state of Texas to receive the Gardasil vaccine before entering the sixth grade. Perry would have put parents in a position where they would have had to fill out an application and beg the government not to inject their child with a highly controversial vaccine. Since then, very serious safety issues regarding this vaccine have come to light. Fortunately, lawmakers in Texas blocked what Perry was trying to do. According to Wikipedia, many were troubled when "apparent financial connections between Merck and Perry were reported by news outlets, such as a $6,000 campaign contribution and Merck's hiring of former Perry Chief of Staff Mike Toomey to handle its Texas lobbying work."

Rick Perry has a record that should make all Republicans, Democrats, Libertarians and Independents cringe.

He is not the "conservative Republican" that he is trying to claim that he is. He is simply another in a long line of "RINOs" (Republicans in name only).

If Rick Perry becomes president, he will probably be very similar to George W. Bush. He will explode the size of the U.S. government and U.S. government debt, he will find sneaky ways to raise taxes, he will do nothing about the Federal Reserve or corruption in our financial system and he will push the agenda of the globalists at every turn.

Look, the truth is that another four years of Barack Obama would be a complete and total nightmare.

But so would four years of Rick Perry.

What he said.
:BigApplause:

Once conservatives learn more about Perry, they will flee him in droves.
Just a few issues:
1988- He was Democratic State campaign manager for Al gore.
He was elected to Texas legislature as a democrat.
He supported instate tuition for illegal immigrants.
He issued an executive order requiring all 6th grade girls to be vaccinated for HPV with gardasil.. VERY controversial and opposed by conservatives:
http://www.realclearpolitics.com/art...em_110089.html
He now when he decides to run for president he admits he made a mistake on it.
http://www.lifenews.com/2011/08/15/r...cine-decision/

It is claimed his record of job creation was the result of high oil prices and federal stimulus money.
Texas debt per citizen is very high.
And there are many other issues conservatives will not like on his record.
The shine on the new guy in town will dull rapidly.

Too bad Obama wasn't investigated like you guys did Perry!!!! We wouldn't be in this mess, now.

He was looked at enough to uncover all kinds of dirt, but they elected him anyway. :mad:
