I have had some ambivalence toward Rick Perry ....I'm not too aware of his politics but have been slowly learning about the man.....I didn't like his characterization of Social Security as a "ponzi scheme"...I thought it was a stupid thing to say and was his way of scaring the electorate..but some other things came out during the debates that made me look at him in a more positive light
I like that fact that he does support financial aid for the students of illegal immigrants....these kids are here through no fault of their own and by giving them the ability to get an education he prevents more serious problems down the road
I also like that he gave an executive order making it mandatory to have girls innoculated against the HSV virus so that they would not later develop pussy cancer (sorry, don't know how else to put it)...anything that makes girls less vulnerable to this is a good thing since girls are going to have sex with multiple partners as they grow up
I really think Perry is a different kind of Republican...he actually has some humanity and doesn't just look at the bottom line (money)..both of the above were the right thing to do for the public and he had the guts to do it..makes me change some of the negativity I had toward him and it makes me consider voting for him if there is a total implosion by Obama
I thought Michele Bachmann was very insensitive about the above and tied to rip Perry a new asshole..but she was wrong and came off to me as uncaring..just as most Republicans do..Perry could conceivably get Democratic votes if he stays moderate and doesn't back down from the the more hard-line elements of his party
LOL @ Rick Perry as having some "humanity" because of the HPV and Children of illegal immigrants issues
Let's call it spade to spade, illegal immigrant labor is as close to slave labor as Big Money in America can get away with and the fact that their kids can eventually go to college on the United States dole is more incentive to come over here illegally and perform that 15 to 18 dollar an hour framing job for 8 or 9 dollars, sometimes less. By taking the stance Perry took at the Tea Party debate, it's BLATANTLY obvious that Perry encourages illegal immigration in this country. Crystal clear. So all you right wingers need to realize you ARE voting for a Pro Illegal immigrant candidate.
How about Perry with the Texas NAFTA Superhighway issue? A plan that will eventually have Mexican Drivers traveling not just a few miles over the border but ALL over the United States, taking even MORE jobs away from Americans. The Department of Transportation actually does a decent job of regulating trucking by implementing hours of service and standards for the equipment companies put on the highway. I've been on the border in Laredo and McAllen, I've SEEN how some of these Mexican truckers drive with no inhibitions or care or concern on the road; running red lights, never using signals, switching lanes without looking. Hell, take a trip across the bridge and see how difficult a standard 4 way stop is for these people in their cars, and you are supporting a guy who wants to bring these drivers to YOUR neighborhoods? Just remember it's NEVER US going into Mexico and driving on their streets, never US TAKING jobs away from China or US immigrating to Africa or the Middle East. It's always these other countries taking away our quality of life. Perry OBVIOUSLY supports this on all counts! Oh and just some food for thought, how exactly are we going to tell whether or not these Mexican Drivers have been driving for 30 hours straight BEFORE they cross into the US and drive 10 more, putting tax paying U.S. families at risk??
As far the HPV issue, do you REALLY think that was decision based on Humanity? LOL, how can you be that delusional? If you don't think he got some sort of major financial kick back from that deal then I got some ocean front property New Mexico to sell you. That was a money deal for Rick Perry through and through.
When I see Rick Perry on stage I don't see some person who cares about the United States people, I just see Corruption. Period.
You want to see the 1850's Slave Owner in modern form? Look no further than Rick Perry.
