Unfit to be President: Rick Perry

[FactFinder]

As always, Rabbi with the smooth debate skills

Right now, I see Perry as having the best chance to do away with Obama once and for all.

I don't get how you see that. Perry is just too similar in a lot of ways to Bush. That cowboy thing, the accent, how much his religion influences his politics, etc.

And those are just the aesthetics. His record on a lot issues earns him a pretty crappy conservative score. Politically he reminds me a lot of McCain. Not really a conservative, except according to the media when it's most convenient to represent him as one.

Plus he seems dumber.

Romney tries too hard to be all things to all people. Romney 2012 is completely different than Romney 2008, who was 180 degrees different than Governor Romney of Massachusetts.

Any direction the political wind blows, that's where you'll find Romney.

Since when did Perry EVER give a fuck about what the Federal Reserve is doing?

I realize as a governor it doesn't seem as though it should be as much of an issue, but the reality is that it IS. The fed's actions affect us all.

I don't think there's a single thing you can find in Perry history that has anything to do with opposition to the Fed.

You don't see that as him blowing with the political winds, namely the tea party?

I'd love to see the hypocritical left attack Perry on Immigration !!

Perry took a political stand on a national issue totally in line with the position that he has held throughout his years in politics...State Powers (Rights) over Federal Powers. Less central control and more decentralized control.

When I say Romney goes where the wind blows...He engineered and signed into law Romneycare...with a mandate, but now he is opposed to Obamacare.

He was pro-choice when running and serving as Governor, but now he is pro-life.

He passed and signed an assault weapons ban in Massachusetts AND stated that had he been president, he would have signed the Clinton Assault Weapons Ban AND high capacity magazine ban...but in 2006 he joined the NRA.

I mean...come-on...how transparent can you be?

 

[hortysir]

Arizona, Georgia and, most recently, Alabama have all tried to pass strict illegal immigration laws.

The federal government has blocked them at every turn, claiming that it's not the state's place to control the borders.

How are you going to blame a governor for illegal immigration troubles given the FACT that the Fed. Gov't is the only entity with the authority??

 

[William Joyce]

If Perry has the know-nothing Right and the Progressives mad at him he is surely doing something right. As someone said, judge a man by who his enemies are. Perry will sail to the presidency if that's the case.

Real Conservatives know that Perry is a Liberal. Just because he poses with a shotgun and wears a Cowboy Hat that doesn't make him a conservative.

You wouldn't know a real conservative if one bit you.
And don't stand too close to Ron Paul because that crazy motherfucker might do it.

Jews don't support "conservatives" ... they support THOSE WHO KISS JEWISH ASS, in whatever form that takes (pro-Israel for the 'neocons', pro-abortion/welfare/gays/blacks/illegals/etc. for the 'liberals').

Which is 99.9 percent of the conservatives.

Not including Ron Paul, which is why the Jews don't want him near power. And because Jews hold the power, they get their way. C'est les Juifs.

In other words he has the same policy position as the last few presidents.

Should I be over or underwhelmed?

Oh, please, McCain was practically laying out the welcome mat for illegals and he still got the nomination.

The anti-immigrant faction of the GOP nominating process has never been that big, and given some of the truly ugly rhetoric that turns off Hispanic voters, Perry would be well advised to distance himself from them.

Here's the ugly secret about the GOP and illegal immigration. The people who really run the GOP don't want to stop illegal immigration. They want this disenfranchised labor force they can push around.

On the specifics York talks about.

Opposing a fence-. Brilliant. When are we going to realize that fences don't work. People can climb over them, go around them, cut through them, dig under them. Unless you are watching them 24/7 with a force of hundreds of thousands, they don't help much.

In-State Tuitiion for the children of immigrants- Sorry, they are citizens if they were born here. Don't like it, change the constitution.

Opposing E-Verify- I kind of disagree with this one. I think this should be expanded. But the people who are knowingly breaking the law are the problem, not the small minority who got tricked by fake documents.

Funny how the left is critisizing perry on his record on immigration when obamaturd has a worse record since he has been in office.

 

[AmericanFirst]

But Perry supports legal, illegal, you name it. Move all of Mexico up here, basically. I just don't get how anyone hopes to be taken seriously as the Republican nominee in 2012 that way. He will probably be coached to "shape up", but it's kinda too late...

Again, obamaturd is worse on illegal immigration.

Why don't you kiss my Jewish ass, you white supremacist asshole?

In case anyone had doubts as to the sanity of Ron Paul supporters.

 

[Big Black Dog]

Compared to the ass clown we have for a President right now, Perry would be a wonderful President. So would Pee Wee Herman.

 

[AmericanFirst]

Only if Americans are to stupid to know the difference between. immigration and Illegal Immigration. See one can be for allowing More Immigration, while being for Stopping Illegal immigration and securing the Border.

Problem is the Left and the Press have for some time been trying to convince Americans that it is all or nothing. Either you are pro Immigration, Or you Hate Immigration.

They Constantly try and make it seem people against Illegal Immigration and for Securing the Border must therefore be racists who are against any Immigration.

They Keep saying it, But save for a small Minority of Racists, it's not true.

Yet another remarkable post from the right, devoid of fact or evidence.

But Perry supports legal, illegal, you name it. Move all of Mexico up here, basically. I just don't get how anyone hopes to be taken seriously as the Republican nominee in 2012 that way. He will probably be coached to "shape up", but it's kinda too late...

There is, however, the fact that republicans alone don’t decide who will be president.

Romney was more prepared for the question. First, he called for a fence along the border. Then, he called for more U.S. agents to secure the fence. And then he called for measures to turn off what he called the "magnet" drawing illegal immigrants to the United States. "Sanctuary cities, giving tuition breaks to the kids of illegal aliens, employers that knowingly hire people who are here illegally -- those things also have to be stopped," Romney said.

Romney clearly doesn’t have an understanding of the law, as some of the above may not pass Constitutional muster. And why would Romney advocate disallowing tuition breaks to US citizen children, as the status of their parents is irrelevant, per Constitutional case law.

Perry many not know any better, but at least he didn’t exhibit his ignorance as did Romney.

And it’s telling that to be taken seriously as a GOP nominee, with regard to immigration, you have to advocate breaking the law.

Still better than the socialist in chief, obamaturd.

 

[Cecilie1200]

Perry is obviously not ready for prime time. His idiotic SS "ponzi scheme" gaffe proves it. If Mitt doesn't dispatch him with that position, Obama and the MSM will in 2012.

Yeah, 'cause Perry's the only person in this country to notice the resemblance between Social Security and a Ponzi scheme.

 

[Cecilie1200]

I love this notion that what was said in the debate is all there is to know about Perry's - or Romney's - position on the issue. It's like half the people on this board are utterly retarded and don't know how to use the Internet . . . never mind. Forgot where I was.

"We need 1,000 National Guard troops to support current law enforcement operations on our border until they can provide those 3,000 more border patrol agents. We also need Predator drones flying along the Texas-Mexico border providing real time intel to our state and local operation centers." - Speech at 2011 Conservative Political Action Conference Feb 11, 2011

"After revelations that a Dallas man had set up a cottage industry procuring Texas driver licenses for illegal aliens hailing from countries around the world, I am an even stronger supporter of the DPS initiative to issue specialized, vertical driver licenses, to identify those who have overstayed their visa.

I also support an end to the notion of sanctuary cities. Local government sends the wrong message when they pick and choose what laws they want their peace officers to enforce.

We should also track the citizenship status of those receiving state-funded services so we can get our hands around the financial impact of Washington's failure to handle the immigration challenge. Some may oppose these efforts, but they are commonsense approaches to protecting our citizens' lives and resources. " - 2009 State of the State Address Jan 27, 2009

"I am proposing a $100 million investment in a more secure border. There is no such thing as homeland security without border security. It is not hyperbole to say terrorists view our international border with Mexico as a prime point of entry--that is the conclusion of the U.S. intelligence community.

While the vast majority of people who come here illegally are economic migrants simply seeking a better life, the small percentage seeking to cause us harm don't dress differently. Nor do they put out press advisories in advance of their arrival. They don't want us to know they are here until they have done mortal damage to our people.

I support strategic fencing in urban areas along the border. But I also believe, like border sheriffs, that the best solution involves added manpower, not unmanned walls." - State of the State address Feb 6, 2007

Is this specific enough for you people?

Deportation of illegal immigrants increases under Obama administration

In a bid to remake the enforcement of federal immigration laws, the Obama administration is deporting record numbers of illegal immigrants and auditing hundreds of businesses that blithely hire undocumented workers.

What if he's recognized as ANOTHER BUSH??

It's not the issue of immigration that will kill the Perry campaign.

It's his inability to complete a sentence of his own alleged position(s) that will do his campaign in.

Listen. There are three things I consider crucial here. (A) there's -- uh -- what was the second thing again?

Uhmm.

Ok. Ok. I'll start over.

First and foremost, there's -- uhh ---

Wait a second; it's on the tip of my tongue.

Uhm.

Look. You guys go ahead. I -- uhm -- need a moment here to -- uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

what was I saying?​

 

[Mad Scientist]

Bush and Obama are the most flawed Presidents in our History. They stutter and stammer like they do because what they say is fed to them by their handlers, the people who own them.

With Bush it was probably Haliburton
With Obama it's probably G.E.

What they say is not what they really believe, that's why they get jammed up so much. And if we're not careful, we're gonna' elect another puppet tool of special interests.
