snip:
Wow! Texas just became the first state to order all its school-aged girls to get the controversial HPV vaccine. Human papillomavirus, or HPV, is a common cause of STDs and can lead to cervical cancer and other gynecological cancers.

Bypassing the Legislature, Republican Gov. Rick Perry signed an order Friday making Texas the first state to require that schoolgirls get vaccinated against the sexually transmitted virus that causes cervical cancer.

But why is it controversial? It's not except that some conservative groups believe girls with the vaccine will have more sex. That's right. These groups would rather expose young girls to HPV-related cancers than give them a vaccine that could save their lives.

So did Perry, who plays often to his anti-abortionist and religiously extreme base, suddenly grow some brains and a heart? Nope. Perry reasons for signing this executive order had nothing to his concern for "the safety and welfare of our children." The reason - the only reason - is that Merck, the maker of the vaccine, gave Perry alot of money and lobbied him hard.

Perry has several ties to Merck and Women in Government. One of the drug company's three lobbyists in Texas is Mike Toomey, Perry's former chief of staff. Perry also received $6,000 from Merck's political action committee during his re-election campaign.

Hands off: In 2004, whistleblowers repeatedly informed Perry's office that the Governor's Texas Youth Commission hires and protects "known child abusers." His office ignored the warnings. Three years later, the story broke that top officials with the TYC had learned of and done nothing to stop widespread child molestation at a juvenile detention facility in West Texas.

Rick Perry's fancy accounting cleaned up the Texas State Deficit, but their's still a lot of debt on the books, and future generations will have to pay for it.

http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/editorial/outlook/7680903.html

This is a liberal slanted article, so I'd stick with the fact the state is not debt free. And shifting the burden of its borrowing onto future generations.

We can't ignore the debt crisis right here in Texas
Under Perry, the state borrowed money for roads
By JIM DUNNAM
TEXAS FIRST FOUNDATION
Aug. 2, 2011, 9:30PM
With all our attention focused on the federal debt-ceiling debacle in Washington, it is easy to ignore our own state debt crisis here in Texas. Texas' debt is increasing at a rate that rivals the federal government's, yet no one seems to know it.
We have heard how our new Texas budget cuts more than $4 billion from our schools and students, but not about our ballooning state debt.
Before Rick Perry became governor, Texas was a pay-as-you-go state for roads, meaning we used current gas tax receipts to pay for new road construction. Our forefathers set up a system where transportation needs were paid for then and now, not by passing the buck to future generations. Under Gov. Perry, all that changed.
Starting in 2001, Texas started borrowing money for new road construction, pushing that cost onto future taxpayers. In just a decade, this debt has grown from zero to $11.9 billion. With interest payments, future taxpayers and our children will need 20 years and $21.1 billion to pay off that debt. There is even more about to be borrowed. In all, the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) has authority to borrow $17.3 billion, with a 30-year payoff of $31.1 billion, further shifting the burden to our children.
To make matters worse, new transportation debt is being secured by general state revenue, not just the gas tax. The exact same taxes we use to pay for public education, state universities and health care are now being diverted to make bond and interest payments on this debt. Imagine what future Texans could do without being saddled with $14 billion in interest payments over the next generation. They might not have to take money out of their public schools or health care. They might even have a real tax cut some day.
This debt is as potentially crushing on the future of Texas as the federal debt is for our United States. Texas' borrowing has gotten so bad that we are now spending more annually on debt service than we are paying for new roads. According to TxDOT's latest figures, we will spend $1.72 billion on debt payments over the next two years, compared to $1.28 billion for new roads. Just like Washington, Austin is borrowing and spending away our future.
Texas should have never gotten away from the pay-as-you-go system for roads. Our tax system is inefficient and broken. Instead of fixing our broken revenue structure, changing the 20-year-old gas tax methodology, or closing tax loopholes, nearly all of our future infrastructure needs are to be funded by borrowing from the future generation of Texans.
With infrastructure needs only expected to grow, TxDOT continuing to issue bonds is unsustainable. Soon, all funds will be needed just to service the debt and pay interest, leaving nothing for future needs. In fact, bond rating agencies are already looking negatively upon toll road debt in the states, so even that favored option of Perry's will be gone.
Texas' political leadership likes to flaunt our balanced budget and admonish the federal government for its lack thereof. But those leaders are living in a giant glass house and deceiving Texans. The balance in Texas' budget is achieved largely through accounting tricks and debt, both of which shift the burden to future taxpayers. Genuine equalization between revenue and spending levels is nowhere near the truth about Texas' budget.
Today's successful Texas politicians shout, "No new taxes," then cut public education and health care for children, use accounting tricks to delay bills and advance receipts, then pat themselves on the back for balancing the budget. In the meantime, they quietly saddle future generations with billions in new debt obligations. Their borrowing means our children will pay nearly double tomorrow for what they are unwilling to pay for our needs today. Our parents did not do that to us, and we should be ashamed for betraying that legacy.
Texas needs roads, and we also need education. We have to have an honest conversation about how we can balance these needs without extreme cuts and without simply putting it all off for others to deal with.
Dunnam, a former Texas state representative, is a senior fellow at the The Texas First Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to shaping the future of our state through public dialogue and policies that put what is right for Texas ahead of partisan politics.

It is absolutely sickening to hear all the right-wing neocon radio hosts shilling for Perry already. The man apparently walks on water. They are quick to defend him. Any question he's not the Chosen One, per the globalists?


I say we play their game. Call in to talk radio, post comments, etc., where we state that yes, America DOES need to elect a globalist like Rick Perry, because of the New World Order, how things have changed, how it's a global economic system, how we're losing jobs to China, etc., and how Rick Perry the Globalist candidate is exactly what will cure all our ills.

That should get the Christians, at least, to think twice about him.

Do not call into radio shows and blather about NWO, Bilderberg, or any of that. They'll laugh you off the air just like they did in 2008. Also, be careful about posting negative stories about Perry that are sourced from Huffington Post, Mother Jones, or any other lefty site. The Tea Party conservatives who are his target will automatically disregard anything from sites like that and be pushed even further into his camp.

We have to be aware of how important identity politics is when it comes to deflating buzz for candidates like Cain, Bachmann, and Perry. People develop emotional attachments to them because of their rhetoric, and that's reinforced by shills like Hannity and Limbaugh singing their praises.

Perry's negatives should be presented dispassionately and on a fact-based basis. His record is full of ammunition, but the trick is to present it in a way that the facts speak for themselves. Something like, "Sure, Texas has a good economic record, but I'm very troubled by his making Texas the first state in the nation to grant in-state tuition to illegal immigrants. I also understand that he used eminent domain to seize private property for a trans-state toll road that wasn't even completed. And I can't imagine why he thought it was a good idea to implement forced vaccinations of 6th grade girls with Gardasil, which is for HPV. It shows a consistent disregard for people's basic rights that reminds me way too much of the Obama Agenda!"

That kind of presentation hits Tea Party conservatives where they live and makes them question whether Perry's really "one of us." Once they do that, they can actually evaluate him objectively, rather than getting instinctively defensive and feeling attacked. If you attack Perry before you've gently disrupted their emotional identification with him, they're going to react like you're attacking them, and they won't listen to one thing you have to say.

[wgadget]

For example, I just posted this on a pro-Ron Paul aricle:

I think America needs a more globally-oriented candidate, someone like Rick Perry. He has a direct lead to the world elites and God knows, America can use someone like Rick to make us competitive again globally. Ron Paul would probably just try to make America relevant only by going back to the Constitution, which is sorely out-dated. I think Rick is more attuned to the New World Order than Ron.

http://www.burntorangereport.com/diary/10909/rick-perry-cleaned-records-for-thousands-of-sex-offenders

For six years, Rick Perry let as many as 2,000 sex offenders roam free -- and we know full well that at least one of those sex offenders returned to Texas.

The hammer has dropped. No more puppies and kittens. From Bill White himself:

"Rick Perry cleaned the records of thousands of convicted sex offenders who were deported and kept this policy until we confronted him about it," said White. "Perry even let deported criminals keep valid drivers licenses."

"Because of Perry's failure to secure the border, local police spend their time arresting illegal immigrants who commit crimes every day, as they did when I was Houston's mayor," said White.

Is the Christian Right Getting Fooled Again?

By John W. Whitehead
8/8/2011

"We've only got one politician who's willing to stand up for Christ, and that's Rick Perry."--Rich Bates, attendee at Gov. Rick Perry's "Response" prayer rally and day of fasting

"I'll get on my knees and pray we don't get fooled again."--Pete Townshend, "Won't Get Fooled Again"
The Christian Right, apparently having learned nothing from George W. Bush's disastrous reign, seems determined to appoint yet another political savior, this time in the form of Rick Perry, the Republican governor from Texas. Perry recently made headlines after he hosted a prayer rally endorsed and attended by such notable members of the Christian Right as the American Family Association (which financed the event); James Dobson of Focus on the Family; David Barton of Wallbuilders; megachurch pastor John Hagee; and Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council. The rally was viewed by many as Perry's attempt to test the presidential waters with conservative evangelicals, who represent a sizeable voting bloc.

At Perry's urging, more than 33,000 individuals gathered on Saturday, August 6, in Houston's Reliant stadium to fast and pray for the nation. The event, described as "part prayer service, part Christian rock concert, and part marathon pep rally for Jesus Christ," was also broadcast live in 1,000 churches across the country. As Kasie Hunt writing for Politico reported:
The setting here said everything: More than 33,000 people packed into Reliant Stadium, a 71,000-seat arena that also hosts rock bands. Three huge TV screens showed the onstage action to the people who crowded into the stadium's second level -- after they had gathered to wait while organizers opened those stands so everyone could fit. About 6,700 people got chairs on the stadium floor -- but spent most of the time standing, hands in the air, moving to the music and prayer coming from the stage. More than 1,000 crammed into an open space that organizers called "the mosh area" right down in front.
Despite the fact that Perry insisted the event was not political but rather aimed at rallying the nation to a Christian unity during difficult times, the event, as the Associated Press points out, "gave him an important platform as he weighs whether to run for president." This is particularly important when you consider that evangelical conservatives make up a critical part of the voting bloc for Republican contenders. More than 28.8 million Christian conservatives--32 percent of all voters (the highest recorded percentage of any election)--turned out for the 2010 elections, with 77% voting for Republicans. Truly, the electoral might of the Christian Right cannot be underestimated.

Thus, determined to use politics to advance their agendas, the leaders of the Christian Right have had no qualms about turning churches across the country into political headquarters. And, indeed, between the Texas governor who wears his faith on his sleeve and his fawning Christian Right contingency, it's starting to feel like 1999 all over again. Thus, the comparisons to George W. Bush are inevitable. As Politico observed:
While Bush drew an entire Frontline series on his faith and its role in his presidency -- and plenty of outrage from liberal groups for his religious beliefs -- he more often used "dog whistle" signals to let supporters know where he stood. There was a mention of "wonder-working power" in a State of the Union address, and a reference to a wounded traveler on the road to Jericho during his inaugural address. But Perry is different. "Rick Perry is a more overt kind of person, in his politics and his religion," said Response speaker Richard Land, the former president of the Southern Baptist Convention and a longtime Bush associate.

He's also more at home with the new brand of evangelical Christianity than Bush ever was -- in public, anyway. Raised Methodist in tiny Paint Creek, Texas, Perry used to attend the same Methodist church in Austin that Bush did when he was governor. But now he goes to a megachurch that, he told the Austin American Statesman, "dunks. Methodists sprinkle." George W. Bush's favorite hymn was "A Charge to Keep I Have" -- lyrics 1762, music 1832. Right before Perry took the stage on Saturday, the crowd rocked out to "Hear Us From Heaven" -- almost everyone was mouthing the words.
There is, of course, nothing wrong with people gathering to pray for the nation. Nor is there anything wrong with the fact that Rick Perry, who is expected to throw his hat into the presidential race, is a Christian. The danger arises when Christians wrap their religion in the flag, so to speak. For the Christian, country and faith are never synonymous, and they are not two equal loyalties. As Christians in past regimes have found, identifying with the political establishment, as much of modern evangelicalism is doing, can present a grave danger--not only can the church become a useful tool for politicians, but the establishment can and often has become the church's enemy.

Not only is identifying with the established powers perilous, but it also negates what it really means to be a Christian. Christians are not to identify with power but to speak truth to power--even at great costs. Martyrs, past and present, testify to this.

Yet like moths flickering about a hot flame, the leaders of the Christian Right are eager to get close to political power. Unfortunately, as we saw during George W. Bush's disastrous tenure, there is always a price to be paid for power and prestige. In the process of seeking policy outcomes and funding for faith-based initiatives, the Christian leadership was seduced by political power to such an extent that the true message of Jesus was being held hostage to a political agenda. Whereas Jesus was a homeless, itinerant preacher who taught charity, compassion, and love for one's neighbor, today's Christianity is more often equated with partisan politics, anti-homosexual rhetoric, materialism, affluent megachurches, and moralistic finger-pointing.

One person who understands all too well the danger of fusing religion and politics is David Kuo, who served as Special Assistant to President Bush from 2001-2003. In his book Tempting Faith, Kuo describes the way in which the Bush Administration manipulated Christians: "Rove's Public Liaison office had a religious outreach team in constant contact with evangelical and social conservative groups about every facet of the president's policy and political agenda. As part of their outreach they held weekly--or more often, as necessary--conference calls to update that community on events and announcements while simultaneously soliciting their feedback."

Kuo continues, "This network of people covered virtually every area of evangelical Christianity. The calls began with an overview of what the president would be talking about in the coming week. If necessary, participants were asked to talk to their people about whatever issue was pending. Talking points were distributed and advice was solicited. That advice rarely went much further than the conference call. There wasn't any malice or negligence behind this. It was just that the true purpose of these calls was to keep prominent social conservatives and their groups or audiences happy. In most ways it wasn't a tough sell."

In fact, Kuo says, it wasn't difficult to convince Christians that President Bush was on the right side of virtually any tactic. "It should have been a whole lot harder because Christians should have demanded a whole lot more. But all too often, when put before power, Christian leaders wilt."

Thus, we get to the heart of the problem. Genuine religion never attempts to merge with politics. If it attempts to influence politics at all, it's by speaking truth to power and acting as a moral compass for society. In fact, the Christian Right does Christianity a disservice by greatly misrepresenting its founder, Jesus, who rejected politics as the solution for what ails us. Read the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5) for a clear sense of his priorities. To Jesus, religion was all about helping the poor, showing mercy (even to your enemies) and being a peacemaker--not a warmaker. He did not bless the powerful. Rather, Jesus said, "Blessed are the meek."

Neither did Jesus seek political favors or power. He was apolitical and anti-politics. In fact, Jesus had a tendency to attack and undermine political power. He had no qualms about getting in politicians' faces. Even with his back ripped open and bleeding, Jesus stood before Pilate, the man who had the power of life and death over him, and spoke truth to power: "You could have no power over me if it were not given you from above." Jesus understood that the legitimate use of power does not include using it to impose one's will upon others. From the Christian standpoint, the proper use of power is to seek justice for all.

Time and again, the Christian Right leaders have sacrificed their principles to the false idol of politics. In the process, they have sold their souls for a bowl of political porridge. As author C. S. Lewis once wrote, "He who surrenders himself without reservation to the temporal claims of a nation, or a party, or a class is rendering to Caesar that which, of all things, most emphatically belongs to God: himself."

Unlike many Christians today, Christ did not engage in politics, identify with the government, or attempt to push an agenda through government channels. In fact, for Christians to be stridently aligned with conservative politics is to miss the point of their religion. "One of the greatest injustices we do to our young people is to ask them to be conservative," Christian theologian Francis Schaeffer wrote. Conservatism, as such, means promoting a political agenda and, thus, maintaining the flow of the status quo. True Christians, however, should be revolutionaries against a status quo dedicated to materialism and the survival of the fittest.

Most of all, there is a dire need for a compassionate Christianity. As Martin Luther King Jr. warned, "If today's church does not recapture the sacrificial spirit of the early church, it will lose its authenticity, forfeit the loyalty of millions, and be dismissed as an irrelevant social club with no meaning for the twentieth century."

But many of the problems are political, not medical. According to documents obtained by The Associated Press, Texas Gov. Rick Perry's chief of staff met with key aides about the human papillomavirus vaccine the same day drug giant Merck & Co, the manufacturer of the vaccine, donated several thousand dollars to his campaign.

LOL...You da man.

[Robert Morrow]

You can cut and paste this and use this as a 2-page flier on Rick Perry:

Slick Rick Perry is political Herpes

1) Supported 2008 TARP bailout. 25-year career politician Perry wrote a letter with Gov. Joe Manchin on 10/1/08 telling Congress to “act now”. The Senate passed TARP that night. Then 2 months later Slick Rick writes and Op-Ed in the WSJ with Gov. Mark Sanford decrying bailouts! Warning: this is how Slick Rick always operates.

2) Texas Debt Skyrockets under Perry. Perry likes to borrow just like those establishments Washington, DC Republicans who are for tax cuts but also like to SPEND and BORROW and PORK. The state budget in Texas under Perry has grown from 100 billion to 190 billion in 10 years, far outstripping inflation and population growth. Perry loves to BORROW and has doubled debt from 19 billion to 38 billion. Perry is a big advocate of public/private partnership TOLL ROAD monopolies, which are DEBT TIME BOMBS which are so expensive many Texans can’t ride on them. Infamous toll road lobbyist Dan Shelley is running Perry Super PACs in Iowa and South Carolina. Shelley is a big reason for Texas’ 30 billion in toll road debt.

3) Perry does not respect parental rights – HPV vaccine. Perry issued an executive order to force every 11 year old girl to take a mandatory HPV vaccine shot. Lege overturned it 130-10 in House and 31-1 in Senate. Perry to this day is unrepentant about this assault on parental rights.

4) Religious Authoritarianism/Opportunism – close ties to extremist preachers toxic to independent voters. The Bible says go pray in a closet; Rick Perry says go to a stadium and glorify me and my presidential campaign. Perry in fact is a “moral relativist” (see the adultery allegations below) a la John Edwards’ concept of traditional marriage.

5) Dumber than Dirt: Texas A&M transcripts littered with Cs, Ds, and F. Got a D in economics, C in history. How can a cowboy get a C in physical education? Perry gets an “A” in crony capitalism, corrupt land deals, borrowing money and cheating on his wife Anita. Perry says he’s running bec/ Anita is making him?? LMAO.

6) Electability problems. Independents, libertarians in Texas hate Slick Rick. Catholic problem, too, due to his ties to religious extremists like Catholic hater John Hagee. Slick Rick is TOXIC to swing voters, especially those in Ohio and Florida, 2 key states.

7) Corrupt Horseshoe Bay real estate land flip 2000-2007. You have GOT to learn about this egregious deal. Perry cronies sold him a land lot for $150,000 UNDER market and then let him flip it for a whopping $350,000 OVER market value. That is as close to flat out bribing a politician with $500,000 as you can get. Obama had the same dirty deals in Chicago.

8) Adultery, Cheating on Anita with strippers, prostitutes and “young hotties.” Source: Robert Morrow of Austin, TX: 512-306-1510. Morrow, a 3-time delegate to the Texas state Republican convention (2006, 2008, 2010), knows women (plural) who have had direct dealings with Adulterer Rick Perry and his enabling entourage. Rick Perry’s concept of “traditional marriage” is the same as John Edwards and Bill Clinton: which is you have a political wife while having sex with “young hotties” on the side. Morrow welcomes phone calls.

Slick Rick Perry was FOR the 2008 TARP bankster bailout; Then 2 months later writes Op-Ed for WSJ railing against bailouts!

This example will teach you a lot about Rick Perry: he was for the 2008 TARP bankster bailout, before he was against it. Perry wrote a letter on 10/1/08 with Joe Manchin in support of the TARP bailout!: http://trailblazersblog.dallasnews.com/archives/2010/01/was-rick-perry-for-the-bailout.html At 9:07 PM later that day the US Senate voted for the TARP bailout. Then two months later Slick Rick writes an WSJ op-ed on 12/2/08 with Mark Sanford opposing bailouts!! http://online.wsj.com/article/SB122818170073571049.html
Here is Rick Perry’s letter in support of the TARP bailout as he told Congress to “act now” and pass the TARP bankster bailout.
There is a time for partisanship and there is a time for getting things done. No one likes the hand they've been dealt, and now is not the time to assign blame. It is time for Washington, D.C. to step up, be responsible and do what's in the best interest of American taxpayers and our economy.
This economic crisis is not just impacting Wall Street; it is also making life harder for everyday Americans. Americans across the country and in every demographic are feeling the pinch. If Congress does not act soon, the situation will grow appreciably worse. It's time for leadership. Congress needs to act now.
Sincerely,
Rick Perry and Joe Manchin

Great write up, already posted to Perry's FB page. He is gaining more and more haters since his plans to announce were made.
Here's hoping he realizes how much muck will be raked over him before Saturday and announces he'll sit this one out.

Well, finally got blocked from posting links on Perry's page. I can post in comments but not top level. Guessing some of his followers "spam" blocked me.
Good thing creating additional accounts only takes a minute or two.

It's such a baffle to me how he continues to be reelected as Texas Governor. The man is genuinely stupid. I honestly do not know a single person who respects him... even my grandfather who is very conservative and religious calls him Rick the Dick, Dick Perry, etc.

I remember quite a few ad campaigns during the Gubernatorial election by Dick that literally made me LOL and enraged me at the same time, particularly ones where he was keen on bashing the Obama stimulus even though he took what they gave to the state and then begged for more. The man even had the nerve to do this:


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zGhDDH-u-Q8


Here's SOME of the information of the stimulus issue. http://www.politifact.com/texas/statements/2011/apr/24/barack-obama/president-obama-says-gov-perry-used-stimulus-fund-/

Back to the stimulus: On Feb. 18, 2009, the same day Perry accepted the federal funds, the governor slammed the legislation as being "full of pork and special interest handouts." On his campaign website, Perry wrote: "The Democrats think this bill will change our country's financial fortunes, but you and I know better. … This administration is saddling future generations with an increasingly unbearable debt." He then urged readers to sign an online petition telling "Washington" that they are "fed up with bailouts."

I remember a big debacle a few years ago when he was pulled over by a Texas State Trooper and tried to pull his ... charm... over on her.

The thought of his inevitable BS in future debates about how Texas isn't in debt and how he fights special interests makes me nauseous. This POS needs to be stopped.

Tea Party Texans Diss Perry

Rick Perry has zoomed to the top in the race for the Republican presidential nomination, but members of one group of Texans are not so thrilled with their governor: tea party activists.

Texas tea partyers are disenchanted with Perry because they feel he has flip-flopped on a number of key issues, including immigration and federal stimulus funds, Roll Call (http://www.rollcall.com/news/perrys_no_tea_party_darling_in_texas-208210-1.html?pos=hftxt)reports.

“A lot of what he’s done doesn’t measure up to his rhetoric,” said tea party activist Don Zimmerman, a member of the Texas State Republican Executive Committee.

Critics in the tea party also point to Perry’s ties to corporate donors and the inner circle of the Texas GOP.

“Both party establishments are growing government, and Rick Perry is just kind of a poster boy for that,” Debra Medina, a tea party leader who challenged Perry during the 2010 Republican gubernatorial primary, told Roll Call.

Perry is also competing against fellow Texan and true tea party favorite, Rep. Ron Paul.

“I think the heart and the soul of the tea party is with Ron Paul,” Zimmerman told Roll Call.

Perry himself doesn’t seem too worried about the criticism from within his home state. When Fox News asked him why some Texas tea party groups don’t like him, he replied, “A prophet is generally not loved in their hometown.”

I think this one is pretty strong. http://www.reddit.com/r/politics/comments/jlkk6/governor_rick_perry_refused_cameron_todd/
Basically executed an innocent man, with faulty evidence. For the murder of his own two daughters in a fire. And then obstructed the investigation into it.

He's a liar and had stated and pledged numerous times that he would NOT run for president in 2012:



Rush Limbaugh wants Rick Perry to run for president. What will Perry do?

http://blog.chron.com/txpotomac/2011/05/rush-limbaugh-wants-rick-perry-to-run-for-president-what-will-perry-do/

Rick Perry says he’s not running for president.

He’s said it again and again. And again.

And yet the stories keep popping up, in publications as diverse as the liberal The New York Times, the conservative weekly National Review and the political junkies’ bible, RealClearPolitics.com, speculating about a possible Perry candidacy for president of in 2012.

Wednesday, the rumors hit fever pitch when conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh delivered a 20-minute monologue extolling the Texas governor as the kind of anti-Washington conservative who could drive Democrats “nuts” and pierce President Barack Obama’s aura of re-election invincibility.


He endorsed The Ghoul in 2008:


Perry endorses Giuliani despite differences on abortion rights

Wednesday, October 17, 2007

http://abclocal.go.com/ktrk/story?section=news/state&id=5712105

(10/17/07 - WASHINGTON) -- Republican presidential hopeful Rudy Giuliani on Wednesday won the endorsement of Texas Gov. Rick Perry, despite their differences on abortion rights.

Perry is expecting to get $250 million each from two different bundlers and have SEVEN different SUPER PAC's. That is some serious money. As the article below states it has in the past been from just a few sources. He has raised $102 million for his governor races. Half of that came from just 204 donors or almost $255,000 average for those 204 donors!

http://www.rollcall.com/issues/57_22/Perry-Fundraising-History-Faces-New-Test-208131-1.html

It is going to be tough with our (maybe) $25 million in comparison to Perry's $500 million he expects not even including his 7 super PAC's.

Great to pass around....no way in hell Perry wins the nomination. WAYYY too much dirt on him. There is 0% chance a candidate who mandated kids got this will win the republican nomination...
