  • murderer.

  • Rick Perry is dumber than a bag of hammers. Seriously.

    

  • Two-time Governors Gary Johnson & Buddy Roemer are the 2 most intelligent GOP candidates

    Are they excluded from the debates b/c they are not CORPORATE WHORES?

  • Dumb.

  • Rick Perry attended the 2004 Bohemian Grove meeting where it was determined, strangely enough, that he would run for president in 2012. He then attended the annual Bilderberg conference in Istanbul, Turkey in 2009, while fellow New World Order candidate, Herman Cain, attended in 2009. Stick with Constitutionalist Ron Paul, Mitt Romney, or REAL Christian, not a Satanist acting like one, Michele Bachmann.

  • Gary Johnson is the best presidential candidate for the american people. He has the most logical and ethical economic solutions for this nation as a whole. I ask that you at least research him, and if you do not, if I did know you, I'd have to ask, why are you voting when you do not have all the facts? Why vote only for your own sake instead of for the sake of our nation . Take some time and read, and see what else is out there? besides what the media tells you

  • Only a brain dead idiot would vote for Rick Perry, another Texas Tea Bagger Governor, following in the footsteps of GWB, yet another brain dead idiot Texas Governor that shares the same idiotic views as the Tea Baggers.

  • See: "Rick Perry, Christian Rick the Perryman"

  • What happens to someone like me who love's Texas but love's America more? Who is going to remove me from my home? Will i have to be apart of some sort of Texas resistance?

  • HOW CONVENIENT PERRY. YOUR FRONT OF SEPARATION FROM FED'S, YOUR STATE JUST RECEIVED TRAINLOADS OF AMOURED VEHICLES, MISSILES ECT. AND DON'T YOU HAVE ONE OF THOSE FEMA DEATH CAMPS? AND DIDN'T THE ROTHSCHILD'S FUND BOTH SIDES OF THE CIVIL WAR? AND WHY DOES MOST OF YOUR PRESIDENTS COME FROM TEXAS?

    AND WHY ARE YOU PROMOTING THE DEATHS OF CHILDREN WITH YOUR USELESS APPEARANCES TO RAISE MONEY FOR CANCER THERAPY! U DO NOT HEAR PEOPLE AT ALL! "WE SEE U" CLEAR IN CANADA! >WE SUPPORT "OCCUPY FED++"!

  • rick perry is an idiot, if you vote for this guy it says you want more of what we have been getting for the last 11 years......perry is a corporate puppet and in the pocket of his corporate sponsors, he is not for the people, he is for big government and MORE war.......we DON'T need this guy......

  • Rick Perry will save america from the recession and from the muslim.

  • he doesnt love this Country enough to get through one "black guy" presidency! hes gotta go right to telling the other 49 states in our beloved Union, and government that our founders bled and died to build, that he would like to not be associated with them anymore??? that he wanted an utter divorce from the United States of America, cant believe we let someone run for office after saying that! 100 years ago that kind of talk would have ended up someone in front of a fireing squad for treason!

  • I cant believe we let a guy run for President, and he hasent even figured out this whole "UNITED" STATES thing yet! oh my God!!!!! "secession" is treason!!!!

  • @thecrimsonstorm1 U ARE ILL INFORMED MY FRIEND. SECESSION IS THE "KEY" LEFT TO US WITHIN THE "CONSTITUTIONAL LAW" THAT BY LAW ALLOWS US TO TAKE BACK AMERICA. WITHOUT IT WE WOULD HAVE NOTHING TO TALK ABOUT. NO PRECEPT OR REFERENCE TO A PRECEPT THAT, BY THE WAY COUNTLESS "THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE DIED FOR" SO U THE UNEDUCATED GENERATION WOULD BE SAFE FROM THE BAST...'S THAT THEY KNEW WERE GUNN'IN FOR U! AND OH YES DEATH! (i.e>FEMA DEATH CAMPS!) SECESSION IS NOT TREASON! A GOLDEN KEY OF DESTINY! WAKUP!

  • @The1godforce actually, Mexico can have Texas back, nothing but racism and evil coming out of that hole, let em have that one back, and we'll take Cancoon! fair trade!

  • This guy is a run of the mill republican hypocrite. He just said on Sean Hannity that he never mentioned secession. Awesome.

  • RICK = RINO

  • Perry is a Poser who just Parrots Ron Paul's talking points ..

    Don't fall for another counterfeit, vote Ron Paul for President!!

    The only one with a spotless Constitutional voting record, the only true choice for America!

  • WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING IS THE WORST REPUBLICANS DID TO USA;

    1) REAGAN MADE SOVIET UNION DISSAPEARED AND OPEN EYES TO RUSSIA NOW THEY ARE BECOMING CAPITALISTIC COUNTRY?

    2) BUSH WAS DRUNK MADE TWIN TOWERS COLAPSED, KILLED 3000 AMERICAN PEOPLE AND MADE THE WHOLE COUNTRY TO HAVE POST TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER, NOW EVERYBODY IS

    PARANOID THANKS TO REPUBLICANS?

    3) SPEND TOO MUCH TIME ON FUCKING LEWINSKY DRESS , INSTEAD OF FOCUSING ON EUROPEAN UNION CREATED EUROS?

    RICK PERRY YOU STAND NO CHANCE

  • Funny thing about Americans is they almost ALWAYS bury their heads in the sand until something walks up and kicks them square in the ass! Then they pull their head of of the sand and say "What Happened"? Duh! Bad thing about that is its almost always to late by the time that happens. Slick Rick is what he is PERIOD.

  • I will say this, Hindsight will be 20/20 in regards to Rick Perry. Texans don't like him for a reason! WEVE LEARNED he's a Treasonous Traitor! If this man becomes President all this crap you naysayers are saying isn't true will indeed happen. This man is Bush boy on Steroids and when it DOES happen (and it will) , What will you say then? Will you come on here and apologize to the Americans that tried to warn you about him or will you simply disappear like the cowardly Hacks you are? THINK !

  • Look guy, i'm not wasting anymore time arguing with a complete Dumbass. If you understood the Constitution and understood the laws on the books or even had a clue whats going on you wouldn't be asking me these questions. Everything Ive posted here you can find yourself (if you wanted to) but you don't! Now your just grasping at straws asking more questions trying to marginalise the Truth about your Democrat candidate in a Conservative suit. RON PAUL 2012! Done with you....

  • I rest my case! Now i have to ask when will you RINO's quit selling our sovereign nation to foreigners? At what point will you stop doing this? Your fathers would be ashamed of you. Our party has completely lost its way. People DIED for this country and people like Rick spit on their graves by doing this. You are giving this country away to foreign Hacks! STOP the insanity and save face for our party and get behind a REAL conservative for once in your life for christ sakes...

  • @Yort696969 Your paranoia and conspiracy theories are your business. When you start spinning false yarns, claiming things that happened that didn't and putting half baked mis-information into the public sphere, I'm going to call you on it. Sorry if the sunlight and truth hurts. I realize you have an agenda to support Paul, I think very highly of him myself, but you don't "win" with subterfuge - the truth always comes out in the end.

  • with intent to influence the measures or conduct of any foreign government or of any officer or agent thereof, in relation to any disputes or controversies with the United States, or to defeat the measures of the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned

  • Any citizen of the United States, wherever he may be, who, without authority of the United States, directly or indirectly commences or carries on any correspondence or intercourse with any foreign government or any officer or agent thereof, .....

  • Turning over 8000 miles of roads that are already paid for by taxpayers to offshore Corps. is against Federal Law. Perry's attendance at a behind closed doors, and armed guards, private meeting, in which the content of what is discussed will remain totally secret is a violation of the Logan Act.

  • @Yort696969 So you have no proof. Who 'turned over 8,000 miles of roads' - that's untrue. Where are these 'roads'?

  • No law has been changed, no minute order rescinded, no environmental document re-done (as is required by federal law), and there are still two contracts signed giving two Spanish companies the right of first refusal on segments of the corridor previously known as TTC-35 & TTC-69. So by every real measure, the Trans Texas Corridor goes on full steam ahead.

  • @Yort696969 " No law has been changed, no minute order rescinded" - yet another example of mis-information. Read HB 1201 "AN ACT relating to repeal of authority for the establishment and operation of the Trans-Texas Corridor" signed by Perry, that took effect July 16, 2011. Pay close attention to section 8 (d) which amends Texas Transportation Code/law. Hardly "full steam ahead". Like claims of 'open borders', 'free tuition', 'Logan act violations' etc. this is more half baked nonsense.

  • GOOGLE: 'perry politifact truth secession'

  • @Yort696969 I looked it up, it's misrepresented nonsense. TTC is dead as of the last session, never gave a dime of tuition to illegals, only complimented Hillary for her efforts, supported Gore like 23 years ago, said Az. law was not right for Texas, strengthened imminent domain law (SB18), pushes for border security, Tx. was entitled to the stim. money, never had any Joint Health plan only complimented Lucio on HIS efforts. SPEAKING at Bilderberg doesn't violate the Logan act, that's stupid.

  • @Yort696969 I know you think you're doing Ron Paul a service, you're actually doing the opposite. When people do look up your claims and find out how half baked they are, Paul's (and your) credibility slides. You can't win a campaign by throwing mud (most of which doesn't stick) at the other guy. Rest assured, if there's any 'fire' in your smoke, anti-Perry forces would be cooking with it.  How about some POSITIVE reasons to vote for Paul.

  • @dospesentas You either lying here or you didnt look up squat. Not much room to go in to detail here but if you are sincere look up DREAM ACT! This give free college tuition for Illegals. TTC is still alive and well under (Innovative Connectivity Plan)and the threat to property rights(Eminent Domain) lives on thru P3s and bill SB 1048 and FTZs. I have no reason to lie. Like i said, research it and you will find this stuff hidden in these policies. They dont call him "Slick Rick" for nothing....

  • @Yort696969 It doesn't "give free college tuition for illegals" - it provides IN-STATE tuition RATES for those who 1) graduate from a Tx. high school and 2) have lived in the state for at least 2 years. SB1048; TTC, Imminent Domain? I suggest you read Sec. 2267.003 and Sec. 2267.004 before spreading more mis-information.

  • @dospesentas Also, its hard to be positive about a guy that spent his entire career lying to the public! He is a Sham, A Hack, A Fraud ! Everything ive told you is indeed facts. Look this stuff up people its all true! Dont listen to the RINO Naysayers....He's a Hack to our Sovereign Nation and wants open borders and has turned Texas in to Texico....YES going to a Bilderberg meeting outside this country is TREASON under the Logan Act. All Facts....I wont respond to this nonsense again. Good day

  • @Yort69696 Perry has supported NAFTA, an agreement the U.S. is party to, NOT open borders. Giving a speech at Bilderberg doesn't violate the Logan act. READ IT! Pay particular attention to: "with intent to influence the measures or conduct of any foreign government or of any officer or agent thereof, in relation to any disputes or controversies with the United States, or to defeat the measures of the United States" Giving a speech isn't conspiring against the United States. Your PROOF?

  • @justfactsallowed  Just Facts! cyu RINO.....

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

  • @mp1741 It's what the report doesn't say that's important. It conveniently forgets the 1200 mile border with Mexico and the millions of poor/uneducated immigrants who have come over it into Texas that's key to the statistics. It also omits the progress made since Democrats held power. Coleman, Burnham and 'friends' are as partisan as it gets. For a more interesting read, look at the statistics in their districts (Houston, Ft. Worth) and the legislation they filed in the last session.

  • Is that his laugh? Holy heck.

  • Sorry Mr. Perry, it's gonna be Obama again in 2012--Thanks to the Tea Party.

    This Tea party will re-elect Obama.

    When the Tea party ignores the TAXLOOPHOLES and OFFSHORE accounts of the wealthiest and largest corporations in the world, and then says that the MIDDLE CLASS need to make all the sacrifices and the POOR can go to the sewer--

    Americans are just not gonna buy it---Like it or not.

    .

  • RON PAUL is the People's Choice in 2012! Join the rEVOLution!

  • GOOGLE: 'perry secession truth politifact'

  • I did not vote for Obama but feel Obama got a raw deal from the tea party congress,I live in Texas and Perry is as crooked as a snake ! if the tea party are

    Christians they do not read the same Bible I do,bear no false witness seems

    to have no meaning for them.

  • @freba91 "bear no false witness" words to live by, I agree. However in the same comment you say: "Perry is as crooked as a snake!" I believe we can both agree that Perry has never been convicted of any crime, charged with any violation of office or had any proven scandals against him. Yet you witness that he's is 'crooked as a snake' - do you have proof of his being a crook or breaking the law? Share it or stop libeling him. Otherwise it's unfair, untrue and nonproductive.

  • @justfactsallowed Yes I do ! Perry stole money that is added to our electric bill to help the poor pay AC bills

    and used it to balance the state budget.Perry needs to be charged by the state attorney General.

    Christian ? and that is only one example of the crooked things Perry has done in Texas.Real Christians

    who vote for him are going to be in shock,check his record in Texas,we know him.

  • @freba91 Your charges lack only one thing - truth. The LEGISLATURE (NOT Perry) swept excess un-allocated money from the utility fund into the GRF in a fully legal transfer passed by the legislature. Contrary to your claim, it actually was PERRY who ordered restoration of funding to the program - check your facts. Perry never created or implemented any program for life insurance on teachers - that's also false. YOUR misinterpretation, lack of substantiated fact and partisanship are stellar.

  • @justfactsallowed Perry tried to distance him self from the teacher scandal but every one said it was his idea.

    Perry uses prayer to promote him self,but Perry deludes Texans into thinking they are helping the poor with

    their electric costs with a dollar arbitrary donation tacked onto their electric bills while this money is being

    diverted to balance the budget,at any rate SHAME ON HIM !

  • @freba91 "everyone said" who is 'everyone'? There was NO teacher scandal, it never happened. Who are YOU to question someone's faith? Did you not read my response - PERRY didn't divert the utility balance (the legislature did and it was perfectly legal), he RESTORED it. Why do you keep spreading lies? It's not right. SHAME ON YOU!

  • @justfactsallowed Tell the Dallas Morning news that, I am sure they would be glad to correct there mistake.

  • @freba91 You said "Perry tried to bribe elderly retired school teachers to take out life insurance" that's untrue. The DMN never made such a claim. If you dig a little, you'll learn the idea to augment teacher retirement funds with life insurance was discussed in 2003 by Jose Montemayor an insurance commissioner and gov. budget office's Mike Morrissey . There was never any such program and Perry had no involvement. It's fine to criticize, but not to lie. DOES THE TRUTH MEAN NOTHING TO YOU?

  • @justfactsallowed Check on that one time Perry tried to bribe elderly retired school teachers to take out life

    insurance on them and on death the state gets the money. We Texans could write a book on Rick Perry.

  • Ron Paul 2012 ! I'm from Texas and I'm frightened everytime Rick Perry opens his mouth

  • Secessionist governor Goodhair Perry has the gall to accuse Ben Bernanke of treason.

  • @AtlasShruggery And at the same time continue to dodge inquiries as to why he stopped the Commission investigating Cameron Todd Willingham. Get the word out please and remind Conservatives and Republicans to research 3 things. Guardasil, Trans Texas Corridor, and Cameron Todd Willingham. Perry is as Corrupt as it gets and he is a RHINO.

  • @sultros Not to mention his foray into Perrycare with the hole forced inoculation of 12 year olds for HPV.

  • @NRAdude I still want to know, where are the Perry Conservatives? They need to answer for their support. Does anyone really think Perry is a Conservative and can be trusted with the highest office in the US.

  • @NRAdude Check your facts. It wasn't 'forced' that's untrue and not a single shot was given.

  • @dospesentas I never said the law passed but it was his bill he was openly advocating for. It was forced, you had to pay a fine if you didn't get the inoculation. Check your facts and my post.

  • @NRAdude The HPV vaccination wasn't a 'law/bill', it was an executive order. It was rescinded by Perry's signature a few months after issuance with a four year postponement. The order, praised by health care professionals, addressed HPV the most common STD with 20M cases annually, responsible for 70% of cervical cancer cases. It wasn't mandatory, there was an opt-out provision for parents. The shots were free and no fines were involved. It could have saved the state much medical expense.

  • @justfactsallowed So why create the mandate in the first place if there is an opt-out provision? Why waste the money? It's illogcial. Nobody said HPV is a bad disease. The cure for it isn't to promote promiscuity via a vaccine. Thank you for proving my point that Perry is not a Conservative either fiscally or socially.

  • @NRAdude It was an EO and didn't cost very little. HPV is the most prolific STD in America, it effects 20M people and is responsible for 70% of cervical cancer cases. The vaccine has no effect on promiscuity and is supported by the medical community. It's fiscally conservative in that the state of Texas spends huge amounts on costly cervical cancer treatment, an effective inoculation saves most of that money. Think of the 'mandated' polio vaccine you probably took as a kid for reference.

  • @justfactsallowed You're correct "it didn't cost very little." And you're talking as if the vaccine was for cervical cancer. It wasn't. It was for HPV which can be corrected for through abstinence; the only 100% way to avoid any STD. Giving a vaccine for one of them only encourages it. Medical community? The last vaccine for the flu that didn't work was supported by the medical community. Logical Fallacy of Appeal To Authority. This is not polio, this is HPV. Logical Fallacy of Equivocation

  • @NRAdude IT COST VERY LITTLE. Abstinence! Are you serious? While you're in your 'abstinence' universe, cure teen pregnancy, AIDS and all other STD's. Good luck with that. 70% of cervical cancer cases are a result of HPV. I never said Polio and HPV are equivalent. My point was they're both government sponsored peventative inoculation programs. Regardless, your claim of 'forced inoculation' is untrue. You like other partisans, are just looking to spread misinformation. It's not right.

  • @justfactsallowed Very little? Including for all of the illegal immigrants he wants naturalised? Yeah, good luck with that one. And logical fallacy of Ad Populum. Just because people/states do mandates with other such vaccines doesn't make it right. And no you're incorrect. The opt-out option is only for parents. Not the patient themselves. And even then, there has to be a provable philosophical or religious objection. That can be whatever Rick Perry says it is since it isn't defined explicitly

  • @NRAdude The 'patients' are MINORS and REQUIRE parental approval by LAW. The opt out is the standard form used for nearly a decade for required school inoculations. It doesn't demand proof, as if you can prove a philosophy. ALL states, including Texas require inoculations; Diphtheria, Measles, Rubella, Varicella, Hepatitis, Tetanus, etc.for school children - do you also think THEY are wrong? It was supported by the medical community, school health officials and never happened. Give it up.

  • @justfactsallowed The minors themselves have the ability to reject inoculations other than this one mandated by executive order even if there is said parental approval. And Logical Fallacy of the Straw Man. First of all you can make a symbolic logical proof for any philosophy even though it may not hold up under scrutiny. Again, just because some states require other inoculations doesn't make it right. Logical Fallacy of Ad Populum. Yes, they are. No this was never supported by the medical comm

  • @justfactsallowed Proof as I was referring to it is proving that one truly believes said philosophy. Again, nowhere does it define what religious or philosophical objection is. Oh and you still can't account for all of the illegals Perry was going to waste money on with this program either? I wonder how it was Perry made my state one of the largest recipients of Federal funding while railing against it.

  • @NRAdude Minors do not have the right to consent in Texas or any other state for that matter - that's why they're MINORS. Feel free to believe we shouldn't do vaccinations to prevent communicable diseases, I could care less. You still don't get the fact the program never happened, you're arguing a hypothetical, non issue.

  • @justfactsallowed Straight out of Texas Medical Law "A minor may consent to "medical, dental, psychological, and surgical treatment for the child by a licensed physician or dentist" if--Consents to the diagnosis and treatment of an "infectious, contagious, or communicable disease that is required by law or a rule to be reported by the licensed physician or dentist" Yah. Time to get off the Perry train...

  • @NRAdude No such thing as "Texas Medical Law", you refer to Tx. FAMILY CODE Note the CONTEXT in Sec. 32.003 that you quote: "required by law or a rule to be REPORTED".... "within the scope of Section 81.041, Health and Safety Code" - HPV is NOT on the 'reported list', it relates to communicable disease i.e. AIDS, HEP. A, etc. Nice try, Perry Mason. Your quote also only applies to consent, not denial. You're still in denial of the fact - IT NEVER HAPPENED. It's a NON-ISSUE.

  • @NRAdude No such thing as "Texas Medical Law", you refer to Tx. FAMILY CODE Note the CONTEXT in Sec. 32.003 that you quote: "required by law or a rule to be REPORTED".... "within the scope of Section 81.041, Health and Safety Code" - HPV is NOT on the 'reported list', it relates to communicable disease i.e. AIDS, HEP. A, etc. Nice try, Perry Mason. Your quote also only applies to consent, not denial. You're still in denial of the fact - IT NEVER HAPPENED. It's a NON-ISSUE.

  • @justfactsallowed First of all, it's in response to your claim that a minor can't consent. This states a minor can consent. Admit it. You're wrong. You're proving exactly what I stated, most inoculations require a minor's consent. This law of Perry's doesn't. That's what I stated. I see you just googled this. And you might want to read that one more time. It says that the Texas Youth Commission can't give consent in respect to the immunization of a child. Yet another wash. Go fish.

  • @NRAdude The topic is HPV inoculation under Perry's EO. A minor CANNOT give consent in Texas, it's specifically covered in Sec. 32.101. READ IT. Sub Sec. (d) relates to the TYC and empowers them to GIVE consent. Your reference: 32.003 (3) ONLY relates to REPORTABLE communicable diseases, NOT HPV or vaccinations. I agree within the strict confines of the section, a minor can consent in the interest of public health, but it has nothing to do with HPV vaccination and consent in general.

  • @dospesentas Precisely my point. Under this EO, a minor can't give consent. However, a minor can give consent in other instances. I was pointing out that "justfactsallowed" was incorrect when he said that minors can't give consent period.

  • @NRAdude You lost on apples and now bring oranges. You stated "The opt-out option is only for parents. Not the patient themselves" I said "The 'patients' are MINORS and REQUIRE parental approval by LAW." This was in reference to VACCINATIONS. I never said 'In all circumstances minors cannot give consent'. Do you really believe that a child can authorize HPV vaccination in Texas?

  • @dospesentas And Logical Fallacy of the Straw Man. I never said they didn't require parental approval. I said that the patient can refuse a medical procedure even with parental approval.

  • @NRAdude The only 'logical fallacy' is your stunning mis-interpretation of the statues (I'm being gracious here). Keep in mind the order would have covered 12 year olds. Go back and read EITHER section. 32.003 applies to CONSENT not refusal, in a narrow context, absence of consent is assumed. 32.101 is SPECIFIC to immunization and who may consent. No authority for a minor to deny or consent to vaccination exists. The issue is being lost: No vaccinations were given the plan never happened.

  • @dospesentas Well it appears that you're confused. What I cited from the act was simply to contradict what "justfacts" allowed had said when he said that "minors can't consent" period. Please explain how absence of consent is assumed. And the statute specifically states that a minor can give consent to vaccinations, just not HPV as you said yourself. Lost? Like saying that Dianne Feinstein tried banning guns but it failed so she can be thought of as pro-gun?

  • @NRAdude I reviewed the statues (as I routinely do for Property, Civil, etc. for legal presentation). You either haven't read them or are in denial. There's a specific statute addressing immunizations (32.101), it does NOT provide for minor consent. Legal logic makes absence of consent the foundation when addressing consent authorization. What's puzzling is YOU originally said "The opt-out option is only for parents. Not the patient themselves" now you flip/flop and argue the opposite.

  • @NRAdude Oh, one other thing. While you're looking at the Tx. Family Code, pay particular attention to Subchapter B 'IMMUNIZATION' Sec. 32.101 "Who may consent to the immunization of a child" which is specific to the issue. You will learn, ONLY ADULTS are authorized under Texas law to give consent and NOT the child/minor. Are we done now, or do you want to keep beating a dead horse? IT'S A NON ISSUE.

  • @sultros Check your facts. Perry never stopped the Forensic Science Commission, quite the contrary. WIllingham confessed to the crime on multiple occasions.

  • @dospesentas Actually you need to check yours. Gregg abbot, the Texas AG, has now had to step in and rule that the commission can no longer look at cases older than 2005. Perry reolaced the head of the commission with John Bradley. Where are you getting your facts from? Did you bother to check them? Obviously not because he met with his wife before the execution and maintained his innocence. Corsicana Daily Sun on February 8, 2004. The Arson evidence is pure fantasy according to actual Experts.

  • @sultros Greg Abbott is a statewide elected official who doesn't answer to Perry. It's HIS ruling not Perry's. I'm aware of the board replacement, Perry replaces/appoints hundreds of positions in state government. I've worked at the Texas capitol and as a consultant with state government for many years, I don't need to get my "facts" from the internet and Google. Willingham confessed to his wife and cellmate. Think what you want, it's a non issue except to anti death penalty types.

  • @dospesentas The Disputed Arson evidence alone should have been enough for Perry to at least put this case on hold until the Commission was through. There simply is no disputing that the Arson evidence, the science used to put a man to death, was complete fantasy. When given this information, Perry pushed through with the Execution, not acting in a prudent manner considering a man's life was at stake. Prudence is a quality of a good Leadership. Thats not even touching on the Cronyism

  • @sultros You claim to have done all this research and apparently don't even realize Willingham was executed seven years ago. The 'evidence' you cite is conjecture and didn't exist when he was convicted. Cronyism? Would that be like SEIU president Andy Stern's revolving White House door, or Healthcare Reform waivers for Unions? Good luck with that one.

  • @dospesentas Are you comfortable with the fact that the Chairman was removed right before they were about to meet? Are you okay with that person being someone with direct ties to Perry? Since that point, days before they were about to formally review the W. case, nothing has moved forward..since 09 How is Perry not responsible? He showed no prudence when approached with information. A man's life was at stake. What greater thing is there? Not very Christian and poor Leadership. Not Presidential.

  • Perry replaced the commissions head with John Bradley. Just Google him, you will learn quite a bit. Blatant Cronyism with the replacement right before the 09 election. Coincidence? Yea right! Believe what you want but the facts are facts

    Ive done hours of research. Possibly even days. The Willingham case proves the death penalty should be stopped or at least reformed to allow all involved the same punishment if an innocent is executed. Do some actual research on Perry. He is no messiah

  • @sultros There was no Gubernatorial election in 2009. I know Perry since he was a House member when I first met with him to enforce a SPGSC appropriations rider. Do all the research you want, but your conspiracy theories are unproven. You're entitled to your opinion but not your own facts - even if you get the from Google the oracle of wisdom; and misinformation.

  • @dospesentas Hate to break it to you but the Texas Tribune, The New Yorker, and TPM Muckracker are hardly Conspiracy Theory Rags and Perry's involvment is a matter of public record. Perry shouldnt even be involved as he is the one who Signed the execution warrant. He has a stake in this yet he gets to choose members doing the investigating? Really? Where is the credibility in this Investigation? Beyond W's innocence, Perry's leadership in this was terrible as the back taxes he was fine for.

  • @sultros You seem to be very quick to ignore Willingham confessed to two different people on two different occasions. Believe what you want, I'm clearly not going to change your mind. The issue was brought up in the last Gov. election, was investigated and went nowhere. Back taxes? I'm unaware of Perry being fined for back taxes - What kind of taxes? federal? state? local? Or is that another half baked claim?

  • @dospesentas Forgot to mention, you were right, there was no election in 09, that was in 10. 09 was when the campaigning started. I voted for Perry, BTW. That should tell you how bad Bill White was.

  • @sultros Perry didn't stop the Forensic Science Commission the A.G. did. Willingham confessed, was never exonerated and executed in 2004, years before the A.G. stopped the commission. The Guardisil program was supported by the Medical community and was postponed. Trans Texas Corridor was a proposal that never happened. Corrupt? Back it up with fact - not unproven allegations. If you're going to dig up dirt at least tell the truth, spreading misinformation isn't right.

  • @AtlasShruggery LOL, because conjecturing htat he said secession is "treasonous" but for the sake of argument there is justified reason to secede if tyranny reigns on the federal level, not unlike the southern secessionists that founded this country when they defied the British Crown.

  • @AtlasShruggery GOOGLE: 'secession perry truth politifact'

  • Ricky Perry ... the go-to candidate for repubicans who thought Dubya was just a tad TOO cerebral.

  • Booooooo. Fuck Perry.

  • He's been the governor of Texas for all these years and he still believes that old myth that Texas can leave the Union under the annexation agreement. Amazing. I can't believe Perry is a serious candidate. This guy has been bad for Texas. If he is by some chance elected POTUS, he will be bad for the US. And the world.

  • Texas has a superb candidate and it ain't Perry

  • laugh it up scumbags...

  • Does anyone actually think this guy is any smarter or more honest than the worst president in American history... George bush ? Rick Perry claims responsibility for the robust Texas economy, but the fact that we are all paying $3.75 per gallon of gas is what is fueling the states bank roll. Facts please, facts !

  • @Geowsullivan Are you aware most of the job growth in Texas occurred when gas was below $2.75? The other thing you seem unaware of is that oil isn't the big driver of the Texas economy it once was. Most our oil comes from Canada, Mexico, South America and the middle East. Worst President? Hang on, I think we have a new contender.

  • Not only does this fucking idiot have the history of Texas all wrong, this fucking idiot talks about seceding and dare utter the word "treason" about the President. All the red-state remedial fucktards who voted for this fucking moron should hang their heads in shame.

  • @1bIgFaTsOnOfAbItCh GOOGLE: 'perry secession truth politifact'

  • @dospesentas It had nothing about secession comment. But why I need to look it up on Politifact? I have pair of ears and eyes that I can trust fully that's never lied to me.

  • Comment removed

  • @1bIgFaTsOnOfAbItCh It's your option to ignore well researched information that invalidate your beliefs. Feel Free! Just keep in mind what's exposed when you have your head in the sand.

  • Perry for president !!

    He can become the first man in the world who is president of two Republics at the same time. One week in DC, the other week in Austin. One week threatening secessionist Texas, the other week shouting "Deus Vindice" and "State Rights!!".

  • Is this GWB's retarded brother?

  • Everyone listen up: Cindy98020-maybe her measurements-IS A DUMBASS...OR AN IMBECILE LIKE OUR POTUS.

  • Comment removed

  • He did incredible things for Texas and created jobs with the stimulus package money from Obama.

    Keep this in mind. Texas is the number one State in the Union to accept Farm, Oil and Gas Subsidies from the Federal Government. I think they call it Corporate Welfare.

    We really do not need another right wing whack job groomed by Karl Rove in the White House. I believe that Bush/Cheney was enough to last me a lifetime.

  • Article about Austin Homeless Shelter from the statesman newspaper:

    Although the 27,000-square-foot building is relatively new, the overhaul is needed because the facility has taken more wear and tear than anticipated;;;

    "When it was constructed, it was constructed with the capacity to sleep 100 men per night, and now we're doing 215 a night," Gibbs said. "There are more people utilizing the building than we ever expected."

  • Also look for Rick Perry's Texas A&M report card out there on the internet. Here got a "D" in Principles of Economics and an F in Organic Chemistry II. He made all of a "C" in a course on the History of the U.S.

    No wonder morons love this guy.

  • There's one referring to himself as a "champion of the constitution".

    Look for Bill Maher on youtube explaining why our founding fathers would have hated the Tea Party's guts. Get the full video or his transcript, and not the edited versions. It's hilarious.

  • This guy is so stupid he doesn't even realize he just implied that Texas can become Mexico again.

    You can't get any stupider than this moron unless you're a moron who voted for him.

    He also used federal hurricane relief funds to repair his roof. You know what he's saying about "big government" don't you?

    What a bunch of dimwitted goons and self-absorbed libertarian fops. That's what the teabaggers are. Disgusting.

  • LITTLE MINDS...MAKE SURE U GET YOU AND YOUR FAMILY MEMBERS CHIPPED BEFORE THEY RUN OUT OF STOCK... AND DON"T FORGET TO MAKE SURE TO LOOK UP FEMA COFFIN TO ARRANGE A LAY AWAY PLAN SO YOU DON"T MISS YOUR OPPORTUNITY FOR YOUR POTENTIAL FUTURE IF YOU DON"T LIKE THE CHIP CONCEPT. MAYBE YOU MIGHT WANT TOO HAVE MORE CHILDREN SO YOU CAN SPREAD THE OBVIOUS GENETIC INTELLECT YOU POSSESS. WHY NOT BRING THEM ON TO THE TITANIC..WHY NOT. ...RIGHT? AHH..TOO MANY GOOD IDEAS.

  • FALSE CHRISTIANS TOO CONFUSE PEOPLE>> BACHMANN + PERRY =NWO TEAM AFFILIATES.. TOO BAD >>TOO DUMB SYNDROME IS EPIDEMIC. SHOULD START A PROGRAM TOO STERILIZE NORTH AMERICANS DUE TO INTELLECTUAL DISASTER SYNDROME..OTHERWISE KNOWN AS CAN"T PUT IT TOGETHER IN TINY LITTLE MINDS.

  • Yea things are LARGER in Texas including egos!

  • Tea party wants to RUIN THIS COUNTRY! Perry is a religious TWAT!

  • Rick Perry is a Treasonous Scum Bag Globalist.

    Pedophile Protection Policies Taking Place In Texas. Rick Perry Supports It.

    Do Your Homework People.

  • Doomed.

  • In 1970, for every 1 dollar you earned, the CEO of your company got 40 dollars. 40 to 1 ratio. Seems fair, right? He's the boss. In 2007, for ever 1 dollar you earned, the CEO got 1726 dollars. 1 to 1726 dollars. Do you think the CEO works 1726 X as hard as you? Or even 43 times as hard as the 1970 CEO?

    TEA PARTIERS: YOU HAVE BEEN TRICKED INTO DOING THE BIDDING OF BILLIONAIRES. Vote Democrat unless you want this Plutocracy to GET WORSE.

  • @beesleeper I live in Texas and Perry is telling a lie about the ecomeny being so good here.If you like

    living under a bridge and don't eat.your children unedcated then move to Texas !

  • @freba91

    Well that figures doesn't it. Good luck to you.

  • Both sides we all fight about, are 1 in the same!???? Think they care about us. look up Bilderberg. They keep wars of all kinds going. Kill Wars, Drug war, War on poverty, The race war!!! They make the money and we fight about which side is BEST!! LOL SAD!!!!..Ron Paul 2012.. Please for all our sakes. PEACE!

    Perry Bilderburg boy. bought and paid 4 so was ObamO ;-))

  • Perry the Clown is a disgrace to the USA

  • Thank you Rick Perry for balancing the Texas Budget by taking $6 billion of Obama stimulus money, then criticizing the stimulus plan! You may be an idiot, but at least you're a hypocrite too!

  • Gov. Perry, ever read section 3 of the 14th Amendment of the US Constitution? Might want to before ever hinting at secession again.

  • @serratedteeth , first off, this depends on what you'd call a "Rebellion", in times such as today with what millions of us see as our rights being taken away , I'm not sure I could call that a rebellion when our Fore Fathers clearly state in all their memoirs that the People may may be forced the unpleasant task of replacing their Government. Secession is in my opinion a nicer way to do it, if no bloodshed.

  • @serratedteeth So you believe in the Constitution! Do you like the second amendment ..... do you know we live in a Republic and we do not live in a Democracy. Guess BO thinks it is a Socialist Empire!

  • Ron Paul for President 2012.

  • Thousands of acres of land just burned to the ground in Texas. No big deal right? It was in an affluent vacation area where people have 1 million dollar homes. Rich people. Elitist's. Teabaggers and Repubs. Why didn't the fire department put them out? Because Perry cut funding for volunteer fire departments and there was nobody around to fight them. You voted for it, you got it!

  • Women needing abortion in Texas will now have to endure REPUBLICAN-CREATED AND REPUBLICAN-CAUSED GOVERNMENT INTRUSION in their lives. Doctors will be FORCED by the government to read FALSEHOODS FROM A GOVERNMENT SUPPLIED SCRIPT --by law, BY LAW! Women will then be FORCED BY BIG GOVERNMENT REPUBLICANS TO HAVE UNNECESSARY MEDICAL PROCEDURES.

    Christian Terrorist Republicans are using BIG GOVERNMENT to force their bizarre anti-woman, anti-science, anti-American ideas on everyone.

    Rot in hell perry

  • @beesleeper Big government?? You must have been drinking a lot of KOOL AID! So you must really love BO's Socialist Regime!

  • We say cut the bastards loose... Imagine how much money America could save by not having to help out with their natural disasters. They would be routed in a week by the Mexican drug cartels. We'll build a fence to keep them from sneaking back in. Texans we'll be the newest illegals to be shot on site... Goodbye and good luck you un- American SOBs. This nation is strongest when we try to solve our problems together, but if anybody wants to bail when $hit get tough, we say go!

  • Rick is a true Texas bad-ass......a living legend.

  • Governor Goodhair has been mighty quiet about the secession thing since his big budget deficit was revealed.

  • What about the "have nots" in Texas? Are they happy with your work Rick Perry? You are a rich man's politician just like George Bush.

  • Actually if you think about it and don't run home scared and hide underneath your bed. If Texas would Seceed it would become a Strong and Major Trading country to the West. If you eliminate alot of the tarriff's on good's and regulation's of what can and can't pass threw the Texas. You could engineer a Strong Economy here. The sale in good's being Imported & Exported from here from other countries without the tarriff's would make this country very Rich in the Western Hemisphere.

  • Perry, shut the fuck up. You fucking asshole. Yes, TX is a very unique place but not all of us are stupid horse fucking nimrods. If we suceede what the hell do we do about our Highways or the next time a Hurricane hits our coast? You're a Bastard. I'm proud to be from Austin TX where the 'Nation' isn't as dumb as you think you prick.

  • I live in TX & Proud to Claim 'Fuck you Rick Perry' Rick is more than 'Shovel Ready'. About 620,000 individuals lost their lives during the Civil War. Confederate deaths were 260,000 of which 93,000 were killed in combat,while Union deaths were 360,000 of which 110,000 deaths were in combat.DISEASE was THE major cause of death in the civil war.Out of 620,000 deaths,417,000 were from disease while 203,000 were killed in combat. Any of you stupid Rednecks want to proceed? FUCK RICK
