I really dont understand republicans, they are supposed to be for LESS government but seem to be for MORE government in almost every way except for helping the poor! Yet they get the poor to vote for them because they usually are more conservative and will vote solely on issues like this which dont effect them in the slightest bit, but i would think less government would mean less intrusion into private lives, and this amendment affects the individual… so unfortunate

Norm, you write

“the american people will never elect someone beholden to a fringe rightwing group-thank god!”

Really? Did you forget George W. Bush? Oh never mind. It’s the american public we’re talking about. It has no memory.

You had better believe Perry will be the next President of the United States. Perry will do and say anything, literally… even if contradictory to his recent remarks and actions… just to secure the nomination of the Republican Party. Believe me, I do not trust Perry as Perry has stomped on the U.S. Constitution… and I will that space blank if Perry is the nominee.
Perry signed the Dream Act giving illegals preferential in-state college tuition fees. Perry also criticized Arizona’s tough illegal immigration laws. However, like the old saying… white man speak with forked tongue… Perry now simply claims he has a tougher stance on immigration. No…Perry is and will always be weak on illegals immigration.
Perry said recently he was ok with the New York law permitting gay marriage. Well since that doesn’t settle well with Christians, Perry now suddenly signed a pledge, that as President, he would support a Constitutional Amendment prohibiting gay marriage by the States. Perry is saying and doing literally anything to garner support from Christians. Perry is a politician just like Bush. Remember GH Bush’s infamous’ quote… ‘Read my lips’. Perry is a slick politician… Slick Rick! You and I were fooled by GW Bush and Bush’s big government spending and bailouts. Let’s not be conned again.
Perry wants to look like a Christian. A Christian would not have signed a bill into law stripping voters in some TX counties that are without a groundwater conservation district of their right to VOTE against being forcibly placed into a neighboring water district. Perry did this to the people as he signed SB313 into law on June 17, 2011. It appears Perry does not believe in the saying… DO UNTO OTHERS AS YOU WOULD HAVE THEM DO UNTO YOU.
The DUE PROCESS Clause of the 14th Amendment guarantees the people that prior to their life, liberty, or property being taken from them, the people will get DUE PROCESS. (Voting has been shown as a liberty protected under the 14th Amendment.) Yet, the people of Texas were not afforded any form of Due Process prior to Perry signing SB313 into law and stripping voters of the right to vote in some Tx Counties. Perry has shredded the Constitution of the U.S. and his signed pledges are meaningless.
Perry speaks of government overreach… yet Perry issued his own executive order mandating the questionable Gardasil vaccine to all sixth grade girls. Perry is the epitome of government overreach!
Pass this along as people deserve the truth… before voting.
If the Republicans regain control of the Senate and take even more seats in the House… it will be a big win. If the Republicans also win the Presidency, all bets are off. The system of checks and balances will be compromised if the Republicans control the White House and Congress as was the case of GW Bush in his first term. The Republican controlled White House and Congress spent money like drunken sailors! Let’s not go there again.
Who am I. I received an award by AFP (Americans For Prosperity) in Austin for my conservative actions against more government debt.

I don’t know, Norm. Mind, you, I’m far from a political scientist, but if the economy is still a shambles come 11/2012, I could see the American people takig their frustration out on Obama (even it this mess isn’t totally his fault), or staying home altogether, and putting a Republican candidate in office. Of course, I hope Obama is re-elected, but I don’t know… .
