People who think Governor Rick Perry is some sort of conservative savior have NOT done their homework. FOX News has been promoting him as the 'frontrunner' ever since he was in the race for only 12 hours and had only garnered 4% in the Iowa straw poll, leading people to think he actually placed high in that poll. FOX still refuses to talk about his abysmal record as Governor. I guess they have their marching orders from those who own the press and have brought us Clinton, Bush, and Obama.

For example, do they know that after his party switch from Democrat to Republican in 1989, Rick Perry said "I will still vote the same principles, only with an R after my name."

Or, that Rick Perry supported Hillary Clinton's health care plan.

Or, that Rick Perry pushed for a federal bailout and stimulus funds.

Or, that Rick Perry supported welfare for illegal immigrants and health insurance with Mexico!


Relevant portion of the speech:

"Legislation authored by border legislators Pat Haggerty and Eddie Lucio establishes an important study that will look at the feasibility of bi-national health insurance. This study recognizes that the Mexican and U.S. sides of the border compose one region, and we must address health care problems throughout that region. That’s why I am also excited that Texas Secretary of State Henry Cuellar is working on an initiative that could extend the benefits of telemedicine to individuals living on the Mexican side of the border."

Or, that Rick Perry tried to forcibly vaccinate 12-year-old girls against sexually transmitted diseases by Executive Order.

Or, that Rick Perry raised taxes twice.

Or, that Texas' state debt has more than doubled during Rick Perry's tenure as governor - pushing Texas to the brink of our constitutional debt limit.

Rick Perry supported ALL of these bad ideas that are inconsistent with how most Republicans understand conservatism, but now is trying to swagger his way into the Tea Party.

But the Texas Tea Party does NOT support him:

Rick Perry was Al Gore's campaign chair in 1988. When Gore lost, Perry then supported Mike Dukakis.

Read more about Rick Perry's abysmal record and see that it does not square with his current 'tea party', conservative, and newly found religious rhetoric. The man is the most anti-liberty candidate in the lineup!

The myth of Rick Perry will hopefully be debunked in the near future.

Look at these and look at the maps in Texas of what Perry has planned for Texas. We are truly bankrupt.

That is interesting. That's the second mention I've seen today of Daniels still being a potential candidate.

I see it going a similar way, except Palin won't be a factor. Perry would have to drop off very quickly in order for Palin to have time to get into the race. I keep hearing about the "drop dead date" at the end of September for her to compete in all 50 states. If she's waiting for Perry to stumble to get in, she won't make it.

I actually think Perry is worse than Romney. At least Romney is a big stater and everyone knows it while Perry struts around doing his rootin'-tootin' Big Texan routine and gets called a pro-business capitalist for it. With Perry as president every problem we have now will again be blamed on free market capitalism just like it was in 2008 despite the fact that Bush "abandoned free market principles to save the free market system."

I'll have to go back and try and find it. But I check "Ron Paul" in google news about every day and I saw it somewhere in there earlier.

Edit: Here it is.

Not very substantial, but still, two pundits in a day.

Yeah, not substantial at all. It just struck me as out of the blue, since Daniels has supposedly not been an option for a few months now.

@Justin Ron Paul is not the frontrunner because he is a nut. Perry has a record that will be unbeatable.

Hahaha...

Surely he means unbeatable in the sense that it is the worst of the worst.

What kills me is that people actually believe that Perry's record is "unbeatable".

This talk about someone new jumping into the race is still out there, most often from a Kristol type person, and Daniels should be high on their wish list.
