The Right Scoop
ANYBODY BUT OBAMA! Even, gag, Ron Paul would be better. Whomever wins the nomination has my vote. I don't trust Rick Perry as far as I can smell the hairspray on his hair but he would be better than Paul.
Glenn, Glenn, Glenn..
Read Gov, Perry's own Texas State Board Registry of Labor Statistics and Records, before singing the praises of Gov. Rick Perry..
Gov. Perry is a Big govt. Liberal Republican party RINO.. He created jobs alright, but 90% if them were in the govt sector, not the private sector.. and his job creating myth and illusion, is wrapped around crony capitalism.. and now Gov. Perry is saying that Social Security is an Ponzi scheme.. That's a political death wish, for anyone seeking the US Presidency, to say..
WoW... he just opened his mouth, one too may times, this time. Social Security needs to be reorganized to made more solvent, then Congress needs to stay out of the Social Security cookie jar, but that's it..
Look.. Gov. Perry is the same as Obama in bloating and growing big govt. jobs, just to make him look good, and he off sets the Budget income shortfall, that he had to balance his State budget shortfall, with, due to the lack of private free enterprise economy revenue, from the private sector, with Obama's federal govt. obamacare funding money, which Perry said he would not take, but which he gladly accepts, to make him look like a great Governor.
The vast Majority of Tea Party groups, are NOT behind Perry.. Just a few groups who do not understand yet, that he's not a Constitutional Conservative, but a Big Govt. Liberal Republican RINO, who's now being vetted, and his political foundations are now starting to crumble, from his hypocrisy of saying one thing, but doing then opposite..such as illegal Immigrants, and giving them tuition assistance, and Border Security, to accepting the Fed's money to balance his Budget with, instead of using Texas resources and revenue, and by cutting excessive govt. spending.
Here's an article to help give facts and truths, to the Gov. Perry Pro-Business Conservative illusion- These are Facts and Statistics from Perry's own Texas State Registry Board for Labor Statistics and Records.
"How Rick Perry Created Jobs in Texas"
by Rick Newman August 16, 2011
US News and World Report
quote-
"It sounds like an outsized Texas boast, but the numbers support Rick Perry when he claims that Texas has created more than one-third of the jobs in the United States since the economic recovery began in 2009.
There's an important caveat, however, that the Texas governor is unlikely to volunteer: Virtually all of those new jobs are in the government sector, not in private enterprise."
unquote-
This is where the Tea Party Constitutional Conservatism meets and hits the road, and where the weak kneed spineless Republican Party establishment elitists, comes in.. in other words, do the Constitutional Conservative Values and Principles comes in to play, when the rubber hits the road, during the governing process.
They don't call it the Texas 2 step, for nothing..!!
How stupid is that. She's his vp. How does anyone not support the presidential nominee of the ticket she/he is on? That's absurd.

Beck is acting like a dink. Why didn't he vet some of this stuff Perry has done. Gardasil? Trans Texas Corridor. A shady looking land deal. Come on. What a hypocrit. It's terrible that the "press" wouldn't shed the light on Obama's past, but Beck can just glaze over Perry's? He's not helping us by doing this. It needs to be brought out and discussed. Because if Perry's got some bad bones in his closet, we need him out NOW. Not after he's the nominee.

The book quote can be found here: Seven ways Rick Perry wants to change the Constitution
You can read a more detailed response to that article on my blog, in which I said that the above view alone is reason enough to label Rick Perry the most dangerous politician in America, even more so than Obama.
I am a fan of Beck. Used to be a *big* fan of Beck. Seriously, though? I hate the "I know someone who says this, and if *only* I could tell you who it is, you would be on board too, but I can't, because .... well... I won't." What?!? Just tell us already, geez. Let me decide for *myself* if I would trust the person or not.

Did she not take an oath of office when she became governor? Did Rick Perry say I promise NEVER to run for the office of the Presidency or did he just say no I will not run? If you are going to use the words-"break a promise" then he must have said I promise never to run....did he use those words?
You are exempting SP from the oath she took to serve the citizens for 4 years as governor!
What do any governors that seek the office of Presidency do when they decide to run for office? Do you really think SP payed attention to her duties as governor when she was tapped to be McCain's vp?
Todd, SP's husband said they needed the money...she was being paid $125,000 as governor and her bills were mounting(the majority of the money owed due to her own relentless issues against her ex brother in law) Her favorability rating had dropped from 80% to low 50's.
SP was making a deal to do a book and later a reality show. Something the Constitution of AK wouldn't allow her to do while on the job!
Article 3 #6 in the Alaska Constitution says: The governor shall not hold any other office or position of profit under the United States, the State, or its political subdivisions.
But never one to give up in a righteous cause, she moved the fight to where she could take the offensive against Obama and his machine more directly, the battle for Congress in 2010, and possibly for the presidency itself in 2012. Not shy, this one, and not one to break her promises either.
...And she made a lot of money doing this righteous thing...Yes, she helped the Republicans but that was after the quitting, after the book deal, and reality show and after the speaking engagement fees were set.
SP holds alot of the same values I do but her ability to stay focused and do the job-see it through- is I think is one of her bigger problems. There is more to her time in AK as councilwoman, mayor, chairman of the AOGCC and then governor other than the talking points she puts out through various websites and her fans.
Does she have charisma- yes, does she have the ability to stir a crowd- yes, can she encourage Americans in seeing the best in their country- yes, does this mean she would make a good candidate to run this country-in my opinion NO not at this time as I don't think she has shown the depth to serve as President.
Wally Hickel a Republican, served 2 times as AK governor and also a member of the Alaskan Independent Party was initially a strong supporter of Palin whom he believed had the guts to serve boldly as governor of AK...He said this about her after she left her post as governor... "She fell in love with the national spotlight and lost her ethical compass. That was a sad day for Alaska and America."
Do you even understand why she resigned?
Upon her return to Alaska to resume her duties as Governor, Sarah Palin was plagued with one trumped up ethics charge after another which cost her staff dearly. Each charge was dismissed but rarely, if ever, reported by the media. As the Palins were a middle-class family and had to pay their own legal fees (which had amassed to over $500,000), the intent of her opponents was to force her family into bankruptcy.
Sarah Palin knew she would not be able to pass one single piece of legislation for the people of Alaska.
She knew her constituents were paying the price and suffering simply because their Governor’s name was “Sarah Palin”.
Her decision to step down, as in all her decisions, was in the best interest of the people. She said “Life is about choices. You can choose things that tear you down or build you up”. She always made the right choice for the people in spite of the harsh criticism she knew she would receive.
Anyway; Sarah Palin had also fulfilled all the campaign promises she made, i.e., ethics reform, budget cutting, earmark cutting, getting the natural gas pipeline off high center through an open, transparent, and competitive process!
She promised to keep the frivolous anti-Palin law suits away from the Alaskan people and to be more effective on the stump ( supporting candidates , fundraising, etc)
Sarah Palin was truthful on both accounts!
For the past three years Sarah Palin has worked tirelessly to fight Obama's policies and elect conservatives; she was #1 in the fight while others were sitting on the fence; she played a central role during the 2010 election.
I think Perry specifically said he would finish his term that he wouldn't run for President.
The thing with Palin is, if she'd resigned to run for Murkowski's senate seat, or if she had simply run for it while holding on to her gov. seat, no one would be saying this.
But she resigns and then arguable is a major instrumental force in helping the republicans overturn the house and gain several senate seats, and people call her a quitter.
I think there should be a law requiring them all to resign their offices if they're going to run for another office.
Actually, Perry owes his third term to Palin. she came down to oppose Kay Bailey Hutchinson who was supported by Bush and Company. Perry called her down and she helped ward off the tea party candidate who was gaining stength.
She was truly surprised he entered the race and so stated. I think she was counting on Perry's support. I guarantee he won't get hers.
I'm sure not a Ron Paul supporter. I support Palin. And yes when she enters she will hurt Perry, and she'll hurt Romney...both fatally.
I'm sorry, but no, Glenn, Rick Perry is not the real deal. Unless you believe the real deal is yet another crony-capitalist. Gardasil Perry is the best that money can buy and 30 minutes of research would have shown you this. I am very perplexed that you are apparently throwing your support to this man. These should get you started:

I live in Texas. Perry is no small government conservative. He has been planning this run for a very long time and will say anything and do anything to win. Just be sure to check his votes; they do not match his rhetoric.
Then wave goodbye to Al Gore's campaign chairman in Texas.
Oh, and be sure and search for his 1993 letter to Hillary Clinton, thanking her for her work on government-run healthcare.
Oh please. Palin has gone through much worse for three years. The other candidates have been attacked on their record. You sound like an Obama supporter, except for Perry. Don't want anyone to criticize your Messiah. If they do, then you call them names. Let me guess, we're racist and terrorists?
Big spender. Big government. ACORN. Al Gore's campaign manager in 1988. Trans-Texas Corridor. Gardasil. The tax "swap" on businesses. Most jobs created in Texas are in the public sector. Enterprise "slush" Fund. Crony-capitalist to the core. You can find more. It's out there. BTW, I'm just giving you the names of what to look for. The devil's in the details.
Oh, and the guy will not debate anyone. He's unable to speak without a teleprompter. Sound like anyone you know?

By sticking together and not marginalizing our own, I guess you mean by the way Sarah Palin hasn't been marginalized over the last three years, right? Boy, those republicans really stuck by Palin's side when she was governor and was being hit unmercifully with bogus ethics complaint after bogus ethics complaint - costing her family over $600,000 and grinding her administration to a halt. And those same republicans were right by her side again defending her when she was being essentially accused as an accomplice to mass murder in the moments after the Tucson tragedy. Is this what you mean by "sticking together"?
I always wanted to go there when I lived back home- but there was never a chance. Maybe some day, I know it's a beautiful place.
I have voted R for president since Reagan.
I will NOT vote for another establishment republican with nice hair...ever.
I watched it too. And I completely disagree. He was very genuine and sincere about it.
OMG RICK PERRY IS A LIAR FREAKING LIAR UGH OMG LIAR LIAR PANTS ON FIRE!!!!!!1111!!11!!11!
When in reality he just changed his mind.
So if my husband says in his vows he'll be faithful to me but then porks the next door neighbor, is he a liar or did he just change his mind?
So your husband deciding not to be faithful to you is like a politician changing his mind to run for a higher office?
You are just brilliant. And I mean that sarcastically.

Changed his mind on ACORN. Changed his mind on being Al Gore's campaign manager in 1988. Changed his mind on Gardasil. Changed his mind on the Trans-Texas Corridor.
There's more. Lots more. Is this really nothing to worry about in your view? I know a few candidates who could never get away with this. Like ALL of them.
Why? Palin quit-to make money to pay bills that is and you excuse her behavior? Why is Perry worse than Palin?
Sarah Palin resigned to get the countless frivolous complaints against her out of the governor’s office, and the money they cost the state, away from the burden of taxpayers.
That entire campaign of BS lawsuits was meant to do nothing but hamstring the governor's office and bankrupt Sarah Palin
She saw that if she stayed on as Governor it would continue to cost the state millions of dollars in wasted time and resources to defend against false and maliciously ethics complaints and doom it to gridlock.
Gov. Palin’s entire administration was paralyzed by those frivolous complaints.
In an article Gov. Palin said:
“I said, ‘Enough. Political adversaries and their political friends in the media will not destroy my State, my administration, nor my family. Enough.’ I knew if I didn’t play their game any longer, they could not win. I would not retreat, I would instead reload, and I would fight for what is right from a different plane.”
The Democrat operatives (and their Republican lackeys!!) responsible, were strangling the people’s business with their endless political manipulation of the system.
She resigned because of time and financial burden of a litany of ethics complaints.
The complaints were without merit and took away from the job she wanted to do for Alaskans.
She had also fulfilled all the campaign promises she made, i.e., ethics reform, budget cutting, earmark cutting, getting the natural gas pipeline off high center through an open, transparent, and competitive process!!!
She promised to keep the frivolous anti-Palin law suits away from the Alaskan people and to be more effective on the stump ( supporting candidates , fundraising, etc)
Sarah Palin was truthful on both accounts!
I support Palin, but am not a fanatic. Answer this question for me. What does it mean that she will help Romney?
Palin? Really? Bush cronies supporting Palin? I can't remember ever hearing Karl Rove give Palin anything that resembles support other than admitting she is a force to be reckoned with.
If Karl Rove and the Bushies represent the establishment, why in the world would they support Palin? And IF that is the case, then I would say we've begun to win the war against the Republican elites, and I'm glad they are supporting her.
I can't recall a politician more vetted and scrutinized than Palin. I also can't recall a politician coming out as clean as she has after the vetting. If the best her opponents can come up with is "the bridge to nowhere", I would say that's pretty clean. She is sincere and original. If she gets in, I'm 110% behind her Primary.

Of course, but using Obama has the standard is ludicrous. That is setting the bar wayyyyyyyyy too low. Both in terms of vetting, and performance.
I cannot give any support to Rick Perry. Michelle Bachmann at least shows she doesn't know the Constitution as well as she should, given that she's botched the First Amendment on multiple occasions and has stated support for the idea that the United States is a theocracy or that the Founders intended the United States to be a theocracy.
Rick Perry, on the other hand, has shown how dangerous some conservatives can be. From his book, he posited this idea for an Amendment to the Constitution:
[A]llow Congress to override the Supreme Court with a two-thirds vote in both the House and Senate, which risks increased politicization of judicial decisions, but also has the benefit of letting the people stop the Court from unilaterally deciding policy.
You must be a very short-sighted individual to even consider such a thought, let alone express it. If you do not understand the danger behind this idea, you need to study Supreme Court jurisprudence to see just what would be in the firing line.
For this reason I am not only thankful the amendment process laid out in Article V of the Constitution is intentionally difficult, but I cannot give any support to Rick Perry.
For those interested, this 2/3rds idea was introduced in the legislatures of NJ and MT with respect to their state supreme courts and rejected by both. See http://gaveltogavel.us/site/2011/08/25/should-legislatures-be-able-to-overturn-court-decisions-on-a-23rds-vote-the-montana-experience/

Heh, heh, heh... "Please don't throw me in that briar patch, please please don' throw me in there..." Bush's and others supporting Palin to go against Perry, until the two 'P's' end up in one pod... LOL "This is going to be fun. Golly." GB

What a joke...and this is what passes for vetting? He had a "God" moment? Look at what he's DONE, not what he says. He SAID he would not run for president but serve out his full term as governor. That's called lying at worse, or going back on your word at best.
A real smear campaign against Perry? Sorry. Don't see it. I'm just seeing Perry people trying to take down anyone that dares ask about his past record. ACORN, Al Gore, big spending, big government, etc. These are all things that NEED to be questioned. And you just know if Palin had anything remotely like this on her record, no one would let it slide.
Bush people are not supporting Palin. Rove has never supported her. He now says she will run. That does not mean they support her! The idea that the "Bush people" are supporting Palin is laughable. I am still waiting for any Perry fan to explain the Texas Dream act and Gardisil. Saying he made a mistake is not good enough after what he accused his opponents of during the fiasco. Of course, when Perry is asked a real question on the Texas debt for example, he bullies the questioner and refuses to respond. I will never understand the double standard on how she is evaluated compared to the others.
