Texas Gov. Rick Perry on Wisconsin Union Protest

Traitor To America.

[saint2sin]

another liar in a suit.... another fucker deceiving the people.... perry go fuck yourself

[3eemy]

@saint2sin let me tell ya , we created millions of jobs in texas , texas in texas

[JRM733]

@3eemy millions? 213,000 and the majority are at or under minimum wage. Also, several companies that opened in TX are not fully staffed as the basic educational level in the average applicant is lower than that in other areas of the country. To respond to this crisis of educational lack, he cut the budget in education this year by four billion dollars yet has spent nearly two million dollars in travel and expenses for his entourage in less than 60 days of campaigning.

[dozercon]

They both work for goldman sachs, the ruler of wall street, which rules our govt and both sides. Its just made to look different, maybe alittle lighter on the demo side, ie, underwear bomber didnt bring plane down, firecracker times square bomber with fake propane wires, tell the cia I want a job, I can help just want $

What's wrong with this picture? He is such a liar.. I live in Texas and I would never vote for this idiot!!

[mp1741]

Read TEXAS ON THE BRINK report before consideing voting for Perry.

[GarfoyleZanderfield]

As I see it. The only candidate who is not in bed with big government stooges, international bankers, and has never attended any secret meetings with the world's 120 wealthiest people, is Ron Paul.

I am not saying you should vote for Paul. But I will, even if the media claims he has no chance, simply because they ignore he even exists when he wins poll after poll. I would ignore him too if he threatened my empire.

[GarfoyleZanderfield]

@deanhoward8

Sure Sure, go a head vote for him Dean. Vote for the guy who attends the same secret meetings as Obama, Clinton, and the Bushes. Go ahead and vote for a NAFTA highway. Go ahead and vote for a guy who uses his public prayers as a sort of Bob Tilton enchantment to induce little old Christian women to vote him in. Vote for a guy who is a about as republican as a chucke e cheese token. A guy who used to work for Al Gore, but "got saved" and turned to the light side in 1994. whatever.

[maronfan]

@deanhoward8 The free market is myth. It is a creation of government as all successful economies are. Pure capitalism just as pure socialism doesn't work. That is why FDR, Dwight Eisenhower, Richard Nixon (who very much studied & championed the concept), LBJ, JFK, etc all believed in mixed economies. The only proven economic system is a mixed system.

You say unions were started by communists? Most corporations have been started by sociopathic fascist capitalists.

[MrEnlightenup]

@deanhoward8 do your self a favor and do your homework you know nothing about labor...everyone has the answer,and everyone wants to rule the world.

[MrEnlightenup]

@deanhoward8 like everything else its gone down hill,but i am retired and getting a nice pension living in florida in a big house.with a big yard and a puppy.

[MrEnlightenup]

@deanhoward8 hey you are right,when i worked as a printer for 40 years we didnt have osha till the end of the 70s.we worked with dangerous equipment.and we got paid a lot of money,why...UNIONS.

[MrEnlightenup]

@deanhoward8 well mexico is not in china,how many jobs did we lose over their,no the reason we are in a world of hurt is republicans.did you hear that rick perry wants to take out life insurance on teachers and if they die the state gets the money,its politisions like perry that will bring down this country not the unions.are you in a pension,i am and i have had a good job all my life as a printer,why union,all my bills get paid

[MrEnlightenup]

i retired to this back in time state of florida with a new york union pension from being a printer for 40 years.its sad how the people in this state are slaves to their masters..slavery is alive and well in the south when it comes to jobs.i see very much older than me people working their tails off,why its a hard life..down here for them..if any state needs a unions its florida.the problem is they dont know any better cuz they have never had unions down here.

[nknikora]

Listening to Rick Perry is very creepily like watching a GW Bush speech. The same lie telling, the same head nodding, the same "heh, heh" at his not clever comments. Walker has not been doing "what he campaigned on". He is eviscerating our state's progressive traditions. And spare me from the phony god fearing crap. There is nothing Christian about the way these people act.

[dellapeppovillage]

the 14 senators were treated like heros, tuns out recalling two republicans was enough, with dale shultz one of the few stand up republicans, there are enough votes to stop scott walkers commie agenda, rick perry is wrong again

[GarfoyleZanderfield]

Rick Perry is a handsome man, god fearing, well spoken, and hard working.

Unfortunately, he is a standard politician... Says one thing, does another.

He uses his faith as a publicity stunt to attract "good Christian" old women, who don't know that he's a political prostitute for International bankers, who financed his presidential campaign in June, 2007 at a meeting in a hotel in Istanbul, Turkey. The guy worked with Al Gore, George Bush, and Karl Rove -- all known fraudsters and criminals.

[MrEnlightenup]

@GarfoyleZanderfield thank you for this info i will look into it so i can use it in my debates.

[GarfoyleZanderfield]

@MrEnlightenup

I don't have anything personal against Perry, except that he is totally insincere. Any politician that attends Bilderberg means he is rubbing shoulders with the world's ruling elite, and he is seeking high political office. He attended those meetings back in June 07, but officially said he was running for President in 2012. All major candidates are screened before a committee such as Bilderberg or Bohemian grove, or the CFR and Trilateral commission. Bush, Clinton, Obama attend.

[MrEnlightenup]

@GarfoyleZanderfield this is very good info thank you,i did not know any of it,i will look into to it.

[GarfoyleZanderfield]

@MrEnlightenup

Your're welcome. I would vote Perry had I not looked into his past. I want to vote Paul, but I don't think he has a chance. Oh well, I'll vote for paul anyways. Better my vote go tyo someone who's not a crook, than just get the same bunch of gangsters re-elected.

[GarfoyleZanderfield]

You don't go anywhere in politics unless you are part of a closed door meeting with foreign bankers, and high ranking power houses, heads of industry, finance, and intelligence.

Ron Paul and a few others are the rare exception. The only "secret" meetings Paul has attended were an occasional local masonic open house meeting. He's not even a practicing Mason. Paul is not a member of the Bilderbergs, Bohemians, CFR, or Trilateralists. Paul is the clean. He is not a politician, he's too honest.

[schmikka]

"With the possible exception of the 1930s"? Dude you are historically clueless. The GREAT DEPRESSION along with the depressions of the 1870s and the 1890s were certainly much worse than what we have now. It is bad, but Walker and Kasich and the others used this as an opportunity to employ bad economics and union-busting. Glad you're in the race Rick - you'll get the Republican nomination but be toast in the general election.

[perltech]

@schmikka Yeah right. Your union mindset minority voting block might well be a factor, by about 5-10 percent of all votes (in right to work states). You'll lose. Then, after a pro-job's, anti-tax president assumes the throne, and you start working again, you'll actually vote for his ass - for a second term. Obama is a one term president, there is nothing he can do at this point to change the outcome, for him, or your employment status, for you.

Perry wil rock your world.

[perltech]

@perltech Can't edit the post - but I meant... (Non-right to work states). But what's up with that anyway? Shouldn't I have the right to do and work where and when I want? Why do I have to join a f#$@# union to be employed? UNIONS SUCK!

[MrEnlightenup]

@perltech for sure you dont know anything about unions unless you have been brainwashed,braindead or are self employed..goahead and be a slave and be used by your boss,what do you do for a living cut grass and live in a trailer park,you have no idea what your talking about.this country is going backwards and it wont be long till the chiness take over anyway.you will fit in perfect as slave labor..

[MrEnlightenup]

@perltech i hope he has a prayer party again and ask god to make him president,then i will know for sure that obama will be a shoe in and the republicans will get free crying towels...

[sf10231016]

No one is this stupid.You do know that this on tape,right?One question,when this is over and one person has all the money-what then?It won't be the rich against the poor anymore,it'll be everyone against him or her.That's right-Dictatorship! Is this not an issue,are you sure you'll be dead before the uprising?Cause if you have 5 billion in the bank and the next richest person has $9.042.76,are you sure they won't cut your jewels off and take your money?Common sense man!Wake up and grow some emp

[cobracrush]

Unions SUCK and are the down fall of this country. To be Union you must hate this country. I hope I live to see the day of the end to Unions.

[lotsoffish]

@cobracrush

If it wasn't for Unions dumb asses like YOU would be making 2 bucks an hour, a mile underground, working in an unsafe coal mine wondering why you can't afford to feed your family.

LOSER!

[JDAJR]

@DKWegley so what if he is?

[MsKymmi]

Gov Walker/Koch and his GOP lapdogs will be recalled. The people have spoken !!! CORRECTION GOV PERRY- WALKER NEVER RAN ON HIS RADICAL AGENDA DURING HIS CAMPAIGN . HE LIED !! It's not just about unions, he is dismantling the state in a hostile power grab . We live in the USA not the USSR !btw-I don't belong to a union. Wisconsin's people will never give up this fight !

[bobthefreak09]

I come from a union family. the same union that saved my grandfathers job in 1970 is the same union that cost my grandfather is benefits in 2008. unions no longer look out for us. they care about themselves. the fact is we have no more money to give. so if we have to cut so do unions.

[DJAlanGreenspan]

Someone should ask Rick Perry if the teachers in his state have a right to collectively bargain, and then follow it up by asking where his state ranks nationally in education standards.

[DJAlanGreenspan]

Wrong!

1) Eliminating collective bargaining was the goal of the bill, not balancing the budget. That was made clear by the-- illegal-- vote made last week.

2) Walker did not talk about this plan in the campaign, so it can't be said that the WI people gave him a mandate to so.

3) Polls in WI show 2/3 of the state is against the bill, disproving Perry's tp that "most" people agree with Walker.

4) Dems left the state only after being shut out of the process. They were given no choice.

[portlanddem]

Rick Perry said that Walker's constituents sent a message last November. Constituents in ANY state don't give one rats ass about gov't spending when it comes to THEIR LIVELIHOODS!! Walker failed to see that, and when threatened with recall of him and his cronies in WI, he still shoved his bill through--totally ignoring over 150,000 constituents in WI!!

Let's see when Walker is RECALLED this November if he gets that message! You don't FUCK with people's money, while giving corporations MORE $!

[tismo70]

The unions offered to give the financial concessions Walker asked for. Asshole conservatives like Perry just want to make money from big business contributors to kill organized labor in this country so that BP, Georgia Pacific, Exxon, and all the other corporate "citizens" can dictate how we're governed. The ones who'll be punished are those reps in Wisconsin who get recalled after they've already gutted the unions, and the idiots who voted for Walker and against their own best interests.

[DustedPages]

I'm not really sure but i would like to ask how much money are these guys are making a year? Would they be willing to do their part in helping the economy by taking a pay cut? Do they have good health care? I'm sure they make a great salary they have great health care and there is no way your going to take that away from them. There are thousands of ways to turn this country around without beating down the working man that pays for all the luxuries these guys enjoy. Shame on them!

[CalJennings]

@DustedPages Why don't you ask Rick Perry about HIS salary and benefits?

[portlanddem]

@CalJennings That's right, that come at the hands of his own TAX-PAYING citizens!! He isn't paying one red cent for his health insurance, and it is insurance he'll have FOR LIFE!!

[idic5]

I have to admit that it is kinda cool that this tx gov is tweeting and up on utube, exposing his self in a manner that seems from the heart vs a product of a marketing team.

[idic5]

that is --Don't you know that you are supposed to NOT kill the patient - right away, at least?

[idic5]

"unfair labor demands"? NEGOTIATE , don't EMASCULATE. COntinue to play. YEs, they people of Wisconsin will 'punish' those senators, but it will be the Republican senators who rubber stamped this without any amendment . THank you , Scott Walker, by going too far, you gave organized labor the shot of life it needed. Don't you know that you are supposed to kill the patient - right away, at least?

[idic5]

and for this deceitful end-round the democratic process, and draconian action of stripping people of the basic right to bargain collectively, the Wi 14 senators had to do an action that would slow this down in order to get a better public examination and vetting. One of the other items that is involved in the issue is that the Wi Republicans did not even put this far reaching and precedent busting measure into one or many of their committees for a finer analysis of the consequences

[idic5]

IF Walker would have said what the he was going to strip away collective bargaining rights during the election, AND then people voted for him, he would completely be in the right to implement this. Since he did not do this, and since he did this as one of his 1st 100 days actions, it implies that this was something he was planning on doing, which makes it all the more deceitful and unseemly.

[idic5]

yes, walker ran on a leaner gov't, but NO, he did not say he was going to strip away collective bargaining. so in this way Walker was deceitful to the voter of Wisconsin and was more like a Trojan Horse. THe unions of wisconsin HAVE given in on compensation demands. The WHOLE ISSUE that people are upset about is stripping away collective bargaining rights.

[CalJennings]

Moron. I'm ashamed you're my representative.

[JurassicCock255]

RICK PERRY THE IDIOT

[stephanie10889]

Texas is #47 because of a huge Mexican population causing literacy issues that make it very challenging to compete. Have any of you seen the schools in Texas, it ain't from lack of funds I assure you. The high schools here look like universities, teachers pay is decent and the quality of the education available to the kids who put forth the effort is unsurpassed by any state. Go Gov. Walker!!!!!!!

[homeschoolmarm]

You're right Governor Perry. The people are tired of being ripped-off by unfair labor demands. Get the REAL bully out of the schools!

[Jazzycat47]

Like all Texas politicians, Governor "Good Hair" promised improved education as one of his priorities. Is that why we are still ranked #47 in the nation? Go home to Paint Creek, governor. You've had your decade in office. Get a real job - maybe one that you can handle.

[TimeLady8]

Thanks to the idiotic move by Dems in 2003, the Texas legislature has a supermajority AND will be redistricting again with 4 new districts. And now moves are underway to recall the absconding WI senators. Last I read, petitions were being circulated for 7 of them.

[bw01a]

Gov. Perry is awesome!!

[amitbarfs]

Didn't this tool say Texas should secede from the country? He sounds like a Fleebagger.

[btwall60]

@amitbarfs

You Lefties are useless. Always trying to turn something that says one thing, into your own little sound bite. You and the rest of the Fleebaggers are just in a snit because you have been had. I just loved the "Shame on you" hissyfit, baby temper tantrum in Wisconsin the other day. Immature, Juvenile, Lowlife Loser move by all of your so-called "Leaders". When you Lefties win, YOU WIN!, But when you lefties lose you don't wanna lose, so you pull the Fleebagger trick, oops no rabbit.

[amitbarfs]

@btwall60

Yeah I'm pretty sure Rick Perry said Texas should secede from the United States. Sounds a lot like a Fleebagger to me.

[Judy101101]

oh give up your entire paycheck, work for free and see if you'd do the job. ya can't solve problems with the same insanity that created all these problems. CLEARLY the protest say a completely different support going on lol. ya can't be saying people are in agreement with this level of protest - this guy needs to wake up and see his own destruction

[Xavtxoghmoob]

i thought this is a state local problem and dont have to mess around with other states gov... bullshit scott is talking to many other states gov.. forways to clush unions... im not taking side but i just wondering how many dictators out there that doing the same shit for the middle class.

[OghamTheBold]

That has made everything clear now - so he doesn't want to smash the unions

It is just about cost savings and the unions told him they won't help on cost savings - now I understand completely

He doesn't want to destroy collective bargaining (which I found out helps protect people from abuse)

What is confusing me - other people say the polar opposite - not just slightly different - completely the opposite they believe is true

Obviously he needs better PR to get the true message out
