take note of this ad.

If you want to win, show us how you’ll attack the real enemy, not how you’ll one-up each other. Hammer him from now ’til next November. Prove to us you will beat him.

Obama thinks businesses and profits exist as separate from the individual and the reason unemployment and poverty exist is because these perpetual businesses with their perpetual profits like to see people suffer.

Man, ain’t he just the very best!!! Can’t stand the PC crowd and all that dancin’ around the edges. America, we’ve got our bold, conservative leader! GO PERRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This ad is awesome! Even poor ol’ Allapundit over at Hotair reluctantly admits that he and others may be circling back to take another look at Gov. Perry. We’ll be here when you come around, Allah, and will be glad to have you come on board!

As a frequent critic of Sean Hannity here (due to his heretofore lack of mention of Gov. Perry) I think the Governor’s interview yesterday on Sean’s radio show was very well done. Credit goes to Sean who was engaging and basically friendly and hospitable and Rick Perry slammed the interview out of the park.

Again, fence sitters—-we’ll be here waitin’ for y’all.

IT’S NOT OVER!

“And Perry has the courage to call Obama’s policies what they are: socialist.”

It needs to happen more often.

but I think that Obama has crossed a line that even independents question.

They SHOULD have seen him for what he was in ’08, but they didn’t.

If you read the 10 tenets of communism, it’s easier to list what we DON’T have, than what we DO out of those 10.

have already fled Obama and nearly align with conservatives when it comes to Obama. The socialist tag in this ad is for the GOP, not the independents anyway.

However it will ring true for many of them even if they are just marginally paying attention, which independents do. “Independents” are that way because they don’t spend the time researching politics like we do. They are mostly clueless and are easily swayed.

It is totally and demonstrably true. Clear differences will only help us in the elections.

this ad is for the GOP base, the majority of whom don’t have an issue calling BO a socialist.

would it be useful in the general? not sure.

The socialist tag has been used so much on Obama over the last 3 years, I doubt anyone will be shocked to hear it. And wacowboy got it right – this is a primary campaign ad and aimed at Republicans (not that we can control who sees it!). Perry’s problem right now is convincing potential GOP voters that he’s the right guy. I suspect he’ll worry more about independents later.

things. But, in America, it is used by flamethrowers against the Democrats too much. Bernie Sanders, the Vermont Senator with the real Brooklyn accent IS a Socialist who caucuses with the Dems.

It was when I lived on the Upper West Side of Manhattan that I discovered Socialists were activists within the Democratic Party, I guess like Libertarians are activists within the GOP.

Gov. Perry needs to be consistently Presidential. This ad was terrific – correct to hammer Obama for calling Americans soft, lacking ambition, and lazy. But, that has nothing to do with Socialism!

Obama is a failure of leadership for blaming Americans for our economic dilemma.

Throwing red meat words like “Socialist” does not necessarily work even in the GOP primaries. You think the serious Yankees of New Hampshire think Obama is a Socialist when they have the Socialist Kingdom of Vermont (btw, Vermont sometimes threatening secession) on the west bank of the Connecticut River??? NH knows the difference, and I bet Iowans do too.

Perry still has my support and vote, but I am the voter he needs in the general, and I sent an email immediately that this one word was a mistake.

Perry is so good at being upbeat and confident, and he really has to draw the contrast with Obama without pandering to the Rush Limbaugh wing of the GOP.

Better if Perry asks Americans if they think a real leader should blame the people he/she serves, or set an example. Obama is the one who is soft and lazy.

rant over, but really, BIG mistake. the media bash will come tomorrow, and they will dredge up the birther thing, and oops, and delve into why Cain thinks Perry’s ice cream is “Rocky Road” remember that racist rock story?

Now I will nightmares about Waffle Romney starting a war with China just to prove he has bigger guns.

nt

voters in America have less than half a brain. That was proven on election night, November, 2008.

To quote Rick Perry:

“Football, hunting and barbque. What a great time of year.”

know that Obama is pushing socialism…good grief Hank Williams Jr. was singing about it not too long ago and it went viral. So I think most Americans agree.

I do not like Romney…personally or his policies. When you kick Vets out of a townhall…that stinks.

I said that there wasn’t any daylight between Obama and Romney…and there isn’t. Furthermore…I don’t like what I have been reading about Newt either.

Tonight on Fox News they said that Newt was in first …and then went off on how smart he was…NOW GET THIS…but he lacked the organization needed to be president….HOW SMART IS THAT…FOLKS?

and I like your analogy about speed dating

“candidate speed-dating”. I love that.

What a hoot! And so dang blasted accurate… it’s kinda sad.
Perry 2012

before you decide who to settle down with and marry (vote for).
I kinda like all of these alternating favorites that take turns getting all of the heat from the liberal press. I really believe Perry will be the candidate that will ultimately “win the hearts and minds” of the voters. His character, policies, and message are perfect, imo.
I’m just waiting for the GOP primary voters to “get serious”……

And why people should let it play out rather than horserace it 6 months in advance.

They thought Newt’s campaign was dead,
they thought Bachmann was unstoppable after her Iowa
straw poll win,
and Romney thought everyone would be gone by now…..

6 weeks

Standing up doing a gotcha press conference with 5 people who have no business even being on the stage is not a campaign.

When you are at 6% in Iowa, 2 % in New Hampshire, and 5th nationally, you don’t get a ton of attention. It took several great debates by Newt to get the polling numbers to go up where the media began to take notice.

The media doesn’t like Perry and that includes Fox.
Another good reason to support him.
Perry 2012

about King David. When he was but a lad, the Lord told the prophet Samuel to go to the house of Jesse and the Lord would show Samuel who to anoint as the new king of Israel to replace the corrupt King Saul. Jesse had eight sons and David was the youngest. It was so outside the realm of belief that the prophet might have come to anoint David, that David remained out in the fields taking care of the sheep while Samuel looked over all of the older, more “appropriate” sons of Jesse. One by one, Samuel rejected the older brothers. Samuel then insisted that Jesse bring in David and sure enough, the Lord confirmed to Samuel that he was God’s choice.

That’s how the media treat Rick Perry. Like he’s not worth a second thought. But we shall soon see the truth of the matter that in spite of all of the dissing of Perry, he may yet prove to be God’s choice.

Sorry. Just thought the bible story was soooo fitting.

I supported Fred in 2008 with more intensity than I support Perry in 2012, but one thing the both had in common was supporters complaining about media coverage.

Do voters often disappoint me? Sure. Obama won the general in 2008. McCain beat Fredin South Carolina in 2008—something I still can’t really come to grips with. I wish voters (and the media) would have shared by fondness of Steve Forbes in 1996, but they didn’t and they wouldn’t if he ran in 2016.

Blaming voters or blaming the media is like blaming bullets or blaming weather in wartime. The battlefield is the battlefied. Candidates need to find a way to win.

The only good thing about this campaign season is that people have pulled of their blinders as to the merits of Fox News (flawed, but still best in class) and talk radio (an army focused on a different enemy).

The DC insiders do not want this man here. Imagine his idea that they they should have a balanced budget amendment passed…or they lose their pay…NOT OUR MONEY..IMAGINE that…I bet they would get their behinds in gear then.

Romney had many policies in Mass that were “socialist”.

Perry has chosen his foe, Washington DC. and the establishment. Everything he has done this week has furthered the goal of establishing himself as the authentic outsider running for POTUS.

My reaction to him this week is that he says what I feel. I hope it resonates with MANY others as well!

Synopsis….You people yelled and screamed about limited government, out of control spending and the Constitution. Well…so did I. Now you have your person in front of your eyes…RECORD AND ALL and you want style over substance…not to mention that you trust the spin docs rather than you gut.

Governor Perry 2012.

Perry is 12% in a recent CNN poll, right behind Cain.

Polls mean absolutely nothing in elections. Just ask Rudy Guliani and Mitt Romney.

Takes about 2 weeks to rise in a race. First vote is still 2 months away…

I’m not sure that anyone who was around to follow Newt’s career n the 90′s will be too complimentary. He did a great deal of damage to the Republican Party.

Document found that touched off the mortgage meltdown

[In 1994] the federal government declared war on an enemy — the racist lender — who officials claimed was to blame for differences in homeownership rate, and launched what would prove the costliest social crusade in U.S. history.

At President Clinton’s direction, no fewer than 10 federal agencies issued a chilling ultimatum to banks and mortgage lenders to ease credit for lower-income minorities or face investigations for lending discrimination and suffer the related adverse publicity. They also were threatened with denial of access to the all-important secondary mortgage market and stiff fines, along with other penalties.

The threat was codified in a 20-page “Policy Statement on Discrimination in Lending” and entered into the Federal Register on April 15, 1994, by the Interagency Task Force on Fair Lending. Clinton set up the little-known body to coordinate an unprecedented crackdown on alleged bank redlining.

So this document was out when Newt started consulting with Fannie Mae in 1999 as an “historian”.

Gingrich reportedly paid between $1.6 and $1.8 million by Freddie Mac

Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich was paid between $1.6 and $1.8 million in consulting fees by Freddie Mac according to officials within the organization, Bloomberg reports.
What, exactly, Gingrich did for Freddie Mac during the eight years he worked with them is the subject of dispute. During the recent CNBC debate, Gingrich said he worked for the firm as a “historian” who warned them about the housing bubble and advised them that their lending practices were “insane.”
Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae have been blamed for sparking the subprime mortgage crisis by using their taxpayer backing to guarantee risky housing loans for private banks.
The Freddie Mac officials who talked to Bloomberg, however, say Gingrich never questioned their business model or their lending practices, and never brought up the bubble.
“What he did was provide counsel on public policy issues,” Mitchell Delk, Freddie Mac’s chief lobbyist and Gingrich’s main contact in the organization, told Bloomberg. “There was no expectation that he would do any lobbying, and he did not do any lobbying.”

Hmmmmmm, did Newt know about the “Policy Statement on Discrimination in Lending” document? After all this was part of the Fannie Mae
“history” and Newt was a so-called “historian”. So what is it Newt?

Of course, I never thought Cain would’ve lasted this long, but he’s sure fallen with a bang, hasn’t he? I’m not seeing the enthusiasm with Newt, however, that I saw with Cain, so he might just have a few weeks in the sun. And then? Perry gets a big second look from everybody, and if he does well in Iowa’s Saturday forum and again in the debate next Tuesday, Thanksgiving dinners across the country should be quite interesting events.

Persevere, keep the faith, full speed ahead!

It will be D.C. as usual fare if he were to actually win the Presidency. I am old enough to remember everything (44), so no, I’m not thrilled with the prospect of him, his past, his present and most likely his future, all troublesome and controversial. But he can debate. And again, I have to remember that goofy Ann Coulter segment last nite on Hannity (somebody say a prayer that I can let Fox go), she could easily play the part of Simon Cowell. All she can say, and quite giddily and flush, Romney can debate brilliantly.

This American Political Idol contest for debater in chief is asinine. You know, Kenneth Blackwell had an excellent article the other day recalling the history of Thomas Jefferson of all people, terrible orator but absolutely brilliant with the pen.

Somebody show me in the book of rules where the prerequisite to be President is to have mastered debate skills, never mind if you are coreless and riddled in scandal, but debate skills are first, even if you don’t believe or telling the truth with what you are saying in 30-60 second sound bites.

He’s doing a helluva job in the Oval office. Republicans should be really nice to him in their ads!

The quote shows Obama putting America down again while he should be promoting her greatness, competitiveness, and can-do spirit, which leads us into what Perry is saying. The attitude of Perry’s message is what’s holding back America’s competitiveness is the irresponsible behavior of politicians in D.C., and here are the ways it can be fixed. This idea is reinforced by the usual of two different video filters, the darker, blurry one used for Obama and the bright, hopeful, colorful one used for Perry.

I hope this explains helps you understand the ad.

I can overlook some of Newt’s political missteps and some I can’t, like slamming Paul Ryan’s Medicare plan JUST A FEW MONTHS AGO. Some of his personal baggage, like cheating on his 2nd wife FOR SIX YEARS, is too much for me to stomach. Six years?! Outrageous. Low class.

Keep it comin!

That Romney and Gingrich are the same person? Gingrich endorsed both TARP AND the Individual Mandate.

I have just been mystified as to why Perry would not be a man Iowans would respect.. There are several candidates ahead of him who also would end ethanol subsidies.

But we can work from here from our computers. I aready spend a few hours a day sending Perry info round and trying to change hearts and minds, one at a time. This is something more, concrete we can do!

We can’t give up!!

I’ll start tomorrow.

Community organizing works both ways.

that Pelousy will accept. That woman is NUTZ! She would be hyperventilating in about 30 seconds … would love to see that!

interesting…. very interesting….

as another note, again, we see Perry going after Democrats and leaving Romney alone. a shift in strategy? perhaps

…that in a political season with about a zillion intramural debates (slight exaggeration) that it was worthwhile to show the Republicans what it was like to do battle with one’s enemies. I think that’s a brilliant move–especially as he can debate fiercely without breaking the 11th commandment (check), and either take advantage of the arrogance of someone who might think him a weak opponent or who can be accused of cowardice for failing to take on the challenge (check). It’s a heads I win tails you lose sort of proposition.

Good sign!
