Like I said, he was bad enough that the old staunch Texas Repubes, went out and specially recruited the Texas senator Hutchinson to run against him in the primaries. But he stomped her good as side by side, he made the best appearance-----politically speaking. One reason for the move to bring her in to the race for the namination was that he had packed the Transportation department with his cronies who were selling Texas public roads to the Spanish for tolling, causing outrage (or so you would think)....people fussed, but still voted for Rickie
What, for quoting the law and stating the truth? I agree though, the law is worth nothing in your country.Quote:

The voting machines will probably decide the outcome of the elections.

Things are beginning to look more and more like Rickie will be our new leader..told you guys to watch out for Rickie!!!!!!....
Sad thing is that in a number of areas, I agree with Perry. For example, gun control (well up to a point) and so on. And it is not his sometimes weird ideas that bother me........like global warming or creation views........
The problem with him is that I know him for the crook that he is...... :eek:
In a contest between sell-outs, which was how Obama got the presidency and marked his career, beginning with the Harvard law Review job that I alluded to earlier, where he loudly pays homage to one set of ideals, while working the back-door to take care of Wall Street fat cats (the latter being something ignored by vpop and Reibe), Perry just takes care of the fat cats upfront, when or if they got the bread and power to make it pay good for him
Rick Perry super PAC takes aim at rivals - politics - Decision 2012 - msnbc.comQuote:
The new super PAC backing Rick Perry has drawn up plans to spend $55 million as part of an ambitious campaign strategy aimed at blowing away the Texas governor's rivals in early primary states and securing him the Republican nomination by next spring, according to internal committee documents obtained by NBC News.
meanwhile for obama:
Obama hits all-time low, NBC News/WSJ poll finds - politics - msnbc.comQuote:
After the bruising debt-ceiling fight — as well as Standard & Poor's subsequent downgrade of the nation's credit rating — Obama's job approval rating has sunk to a low of 44 percent, a 3-point drop since July. His handling of the economy stands at a low of 37 percent. And only 19 percent believe the country is headed in the right direction, the lowest mark for this president.
Perhaps most ominously for Obama, a majority of poll takers — 54 percent — think he's facing a longer-term setback from which he's unlikely to recover. Back in January, just 39 percent agreed with that assessment.
What's more, in a hypothetical general election contest, Obama leads Texas Gov. Rick Perry by five points, 47 percent to 42 percent. And he leads former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney by one, 46 percent to 45 percent, though that margin is down five points since June.
But for the first time in the poll, more say they'd probably vote for a generic Republican candidate (44 percent) than say they'd probably vote for Obama (40 percent).
"Obama is no longer the favorite to win re-election," Hart said, explaining that a head-to-head score will usually conform to the generic one, especially when so many believe the country is headed in the wrong direction.
Perry takes commanding GOP lead
And there's a new favorite in the race for the Republican presidential nomination.
Heading into the post-Labor Day sprint and the NBC News/Politico-sponsored debate at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library on Wednesday, Perry is the first choice among 38 percent of GOP voters — followed by Romney at 23 percent, Texas Rep. Ron Paul at 9 percent and Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann at 8 percent.
Meanwhile Bachmann has toasted herself--or more accurately, her manager (and his chef adie) toasted her, by quiting because Bachmann was a now nothing more than a "third candidate" which was a nice way of calling her a loser.......
Key Bachmann aide quits, says she's '3rd candidate' - politics - Decision 2012 - msnbc.com
BTW, the manager was named Ed Rollins....something of a heavy weight in such areas.
But he has a way of quiting that sinks campaigns as in Bachmann's case....
:dozey:
Example: Ross Perot was doing well, and perhaps headed for the white house, when he and Rollins parted ways as a result of an internal fight... a few days later, perot quit the race.....but then much later, tried to jump back in.
When he quit Ross Perot, that effectively ended his campaign, although later Perot tried to overcome the stuff that erupted when Rollins sadi Perot was emotionally unfir to be president.....If Ross had not jumped back in, clinton would not have been president. Perot took about 20 percent of the vote that would have gone to Bush senior, hence effectively giving the election to Bill Clinton.
How effective is Rick getting to be with this money for ads???
everytime I click onto this thread, up pops a banner telling me to vote for Rick
To make any absolute predictions this early is either just plain silly, or trolling for outraged responses from silly people.

OBAMA GIVING A 25 DVD GIFT SET TO THE PRIME MINISTER OF BRITAIN THAT WON'T EVEN PLAY ON BRITISH DVD PLAYERS
That last bit might be true. After Brown presented Obama with a pen holder crafted from the timbers of the 19th century British warship HMS President (whose sister ship, HMS Resolute, provided the wood for the Oval Office's desk), Obama offered up ... 25 DVDs of American movie classics...
Never mind that Brown is blind in one eye and may have a hard time seeing the stars in "2001: A Space Odyssey," or that American DVDs are usually incompatible with British players.

On Thursday, at Fort Drum, New York, as reported by the Military Times, Obama told the 10th Mountain Division he had the privilege of meeting “a comrade of yours, Jared Monti” adding it was “the first person who I was able to award the Medal of Honor to who actually came back and wasn’t receiving it posthumously.” Turns out Monti did receive it posthumously, as Obama presented the award to his parents at a White House ceremony in 2009. After CBN inquired about the gaffe, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney clarified that the President had confused Monti with “Salvatore Giunta, who was the first living recipient of the Medal who served in Afghanistan.”

And to be perfectly honest, for a lot of us who don't live in the United States and also have no say at all, the whole subject of US Politics is entertaining in the same way as watching Rangers v Celtic (and the participants are just as mindless), basically it's "Hooray, Boo, Hooray, Boo" then yell at each other for 90 minutes and then go home.
Markability, you may be surprised, but I will be happy if Perry is just a crook and not a vicious, fanatical Taliban.
From the way Obama is running the war on terrorism, you had better hope he is not a Taliban agent.Quote:
