Rick Perry a Tea Party hijacker? - NH tea party group goes after Perry
I love Republican primary season. The smell of Republican desperation wafting in the breeze. Watching all the Republican's buzzing about from one right wing group to another, just hoping to become the next big star of their party. Sometimes they even nip at each other like a pack of greedy puppies fighting for their mother's attention. However cute, and entertaining I find all that, I have to admit my favorite times are when they turn on each other like a pack of starving coyotes fighting over a meaty bone.

NH tea party group goes after Perry

Gov. Rick Perry has enjoyed support from many in the Texas tea party movement, but he recently received a chillier reception in New Hampshire, home of the nation’s first presidential primary.

The New Hampshire Tea Party Coalition, an organization of 47 like-minded groups, has published a blog post that criticizes Perry over a number of issues, including his support for the DREAM Act of 2001, which let certain illegal immigrants pay cheaper in-state tuition to attend Texas universities.

The lengthy post includes links to coverage of Perry’s now-abandoned Trans Texas Corridor toll road plan and his short-lived 2007 executive order requiring that Texas schoolgirls be vaccinated against the sexually transmitted human papillomavirus.

The site also notes that Perry, before joining the Republican Party, was Democrat Al Gore’s Texas campaign chairman in 1988 and endorsed “liberal cross dresser and gun grabber” Rudy Giuliani in the 2008 GOP presidential race.http://www.statesman.com/blogs/content/shared-gen/blogs/austin/politics/entries/2011/07/15/nh_tea_party_group_goes_after.html


Here's a tiny snip from what is a long, and fault filled, rant about Rick Perry.

Due to the great success of the NHTPC in NH, other states have bonded with us and share information. Those states are Iowa, Oregon, Colorado, Florida, and TEXAS. We are united across America and will circumvent the tea party HIJACKERS who are proclaiming their support for candidates like Romney and Perry.

Regarding Perry, please see this email received from Texas just this morning 6/30/2011.
It is a testimony to what is being said about Rick Perry.

Dear friends,

I am notifying you all of a very serious situation. I have forwarded you a message (and link to a video) below that we have sent out to our Texas friends, and I am asking you to inform your grassroots groups of the blatant and intentional political game playing shenanigans that occured in the Texas Legislature. The tricks that were played were unbeliveable. If I had not seen them my own eyes I wouldn’t believe it. Bottom line:

Rick Perry has been flirting with the possibility of running for president. How can he lead America if he cannot lead Texas?

1. Circular firing squad
Ready, aim, fire! :rofl::rofl:


Speaking of fire and another sin the tea baggers will go nuts over

Salon Magazine 7/14/11
Rick Perry bans guns! (From prayer festival)
The Texas governor denies the rights of Christians to protect themselves while worshiping

Why doesn't Rick Perry respect the Second Amendment rights of his constituents? The Texas governor and possible 2012 candidate is having a huge prayer-and-fasting party at Reliant Stadium in Houston, and despite the governor's avowed support for the right of law-abiding citizens to protect themselves with firearms, guns will not be allowed at "The Response."

Reliant Stadium apparently has a blanket ban on "weapons," as if a handgun were a common cigarette or outside beverage.

A Perry constituent asked about bringing his licensed concealed weapon to the prayer festival, and received this response from event organizers:

Thank you for your question. According to the Reliant Stadium, weapons are prohibited.

Stadium regulations prohibit: signs, flags, soliciting/promotion material, noise makers/instruments, coolers, tobacco, illegal substances, weapons or pets."


Ha Ha Ha Ha. Shouldn't Perry's minions found a place that would allow them to bring their god given weapons?

2. MODERN REASONING for the discriminating thinker
Bilderberg favorite Perry
Supporters of Texas Governor Rick Perry are not going to like this article at all. Right now, Republicans all over the United States are touting Rick Perry as the “Republican messiah” that is going to come charging in to save America from the presidency of Barack Obama. Many believe that if Rick Perry enters the race, he will instantly become the frontrunner for the Republican presidential nomination in 2012.

Perry certainly looks the part and he knows how to give a good speech, but when ordinary Americans all over the country take a hard look at his record, they may not like what they see. The truth is that Rick Perry is a big-time globalist, he has raised taxes and fees in Texas numerous times, he has massively increased the size of government spending and government debt in Texas, he has been trying to ram the Trans-Texas Corridor down the throats of the Texas people and he tried to force young women all over Texas to be injected with the Gardasil vaccine. No, Rick Perry is not going to save America. In fact, he would likely be very, very similar to both Bush and Obama in a lot of ways.

Right now, Rick Perry is trying to portray himself as a “good conservative” so that if he enters the race he will be accepted by Christian conservatives. If Rick Perry did win the Republican nomination, he would have a great chance of winning the general election because he would very much be an “establishment” candidate.
But before Republicans get too excited about Rick Perry, there are a whole lot of things that they should know about him.

3. Great find
He is not the “conservative Republican” that he is trying to claim that he is. He is simply another in a long line of “RINOs” (Republicans in name only).
If Rick Perry becomes president, he will probably be very similar to George W. Bush. He will explode the size of the U.S. government and U.S. government debt, he will find sneaky ways to raise taxes, he will do nothing about the Federal Reserve or corruption in our financial system and he will push the agenda of the globalists at every turn.

Look, the truth is that another four years of Barack Obama would be a complete and total nightmare.

But so would four years of Rick Perry. America deserves better than the “lesser of two evils”.


So is he saying Obama is the lesser of 2 evils for conservatives?
