From Rush Limbaugh’s page: “Perry is the only true small government conservative left in the race. He doesn’t support ethanol subsidies (or other government subsidies), which cost him some support in IA, which settled for “big government” c…onservative Santorum. But the Tea Party supporters really ought to do their homework and get behind Perry, who is truly our last, best hope of reigning in an out-of-control federal government.”

It’s Time For RICK PERRY If You Want To Restore America and A Fiscal and Social Conservative
by Chrissie aka Wild Thing
Seeing the polls, fixed or not on Romney and how the media, Ann Coulter, CNN, and yes evwen FOX have been pushing Romney and Newt on all of us.
It furiates me that people who claim to be Conservative are so quick to throw one of the most successful Conservative Governors in the country under the bus and not listen at all to his actual record of job creation and economic growth. That is what this country needs the most right now!!! Jobs and economic growth!!!!
Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi said at the Huckabee debate: “Perry is the one that lived up to being the 10th Amendment Purist Tonight”, and the and the entire panel agreed.
It’s sad that more people don’t know what a Constitutional genius Perry is. If folks would take the time to read his book, Fed Up, they would get that he is the only hope we have to take Big Government and send it PACKING.
In April 2009 and again in 2011, Perry endorsed a resolution supporting state… sovereignty, under the argument that the Tenth Amendment to the United States Constitution reserves such authority. On April 9, 2009, Perry said, “I believe that our federal government has become oppressive in its size, its intrusion into the lives of our citizens, and its interference with the affairs of our State. That is why I am here today to express my unwavering support for efforts all across our country to reaffirm the States’ rights affirmed by the Tenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. I believe that returning to the letter and spirit of the U.S. Constitution and its essential 10th Amendment will free our State from undue regulations, and ultimately strengthen our Union.”
What a Rick Perry diplomacy would look like: not reckless, but measured, backed up by strength, unwilling to tolerate insult, and ready to act with force and decision when necessary.
PERRY refused to raise taxes when Texas faced a record $10 billion budget shortfall in 2003. Instead, he was the first Texas governor since World War II to sign a budget that lowered state spending (and has now done it twice). As governor, Perry has used his line item veto to cut over $3 billion in proposed spending.
Gov Perry is the ONLY candidate who passed TORT reform and defunded planned parenthood . no other candidate has even ever tried .Perry would make a great President and would turn this country around, put us back on course.
Perry is a Veteran, he is from a place where eight seconds separates the men from the boys. He is for a strong Military (will not apologize to foreign governments). He will make an awesome CIC and will never treat our troops like pawns on a chess board like Obama does.
Let’s put the best candidate with the best record and the best plan to get DC off our back and restore our greatness. Not some has been insider like Newt who ran to promote his brand and not Mitt who ran to complete his resume but Perry who ran because this country is in deep shit and he saw all his parents and grandparents had worked for, his and America’s heritage being sold in DC!
Thanks WT. You and I share the vision of Rick Perry. We also share the same revulsion of the entrenched establishment Republicans. That anger of their self serving cliquishness is what gave birth to the Tea Party. The Tea Party is not Republicans. It is America and Constitution loving conservatives. Perry is the only conservative left in the GOP candidate slate.
WT, I agree with you 100%.
The system has become flawed. At one time two states, Iowa and New Hampshire, held their caucuses, on date early in the election year, with the rest of the country voting, usually in the late spring or early summer.
Now we have a multitude of “Primary Days’, spread across the calendar. This is an unfortuate situation for the likes of any candidate who is not among the top three vote getters.
Those with the largest amount of campaign monies, and in the case of Romney, the backing of the National Party Organizations, have a distinct advantage. They can operate at the highest level of campaigning, saturating the media, making commercials, etc., through out the Country, in what has become a year long Campaign for the Presidency.
Combine this with the Press/Media’ blatant bias regarding the political landscape in this land, and you have a very difficult challenge for a man like Rick Perry.
In an earlier post, Carlos referred to this line of thinking as defeatist talk. I think not. Like it or not, it is the way that things have become in this Country.
If every one who thinks that Rick Perry is “The Candidate”, as most of us who read and contribute here are, gave a large sum of money a to Perry’s Campaign on a regular basis, then maybe he wouldn’t have to come out with, what in essence are self defeating statements, as he did last week, about suspending his campaign.
If Rick Perry can hold on until, what the press terms the “flyover states”, have an opportunity to vote, then there is a good possibility, that the percentages will change.
I didn’t catch his remark about sending the troops
back into Iraq,bad mojo!! But they are making a big deal of it even though I heard it some 4 or 5 years ago.
Thank you all so much for your input. It means very much to me!
