Texas Governor Rick Perry to Endorse McCain
2008-01-31 22:53:00 First California's governor now Texas'...From the Dallas Morning News: LOS ANGELES ? Texas Gov. Rick Perry will endorse John McCain for president, saying he is the best candidate in the GOP field to fight the war on terror. The Texas governor's first choice, Rudy Giuliani, dropped out of the presidential sweepstakes and on Wednesday endorsed Mr. McCain. "For the governor, it came down to a very simple calculation: The single dominant issue is the war on terror," said Perry spokesman Robert Black. "And he believes, looking at the field, the single best individual to be commander in chief and not flinch in this war is John McCain." The endorsement from the red-state governor comes just days before the Super Tuesday primary in which 21 states will weigh in. Mr. Perry will formally make his endorsement Thursday afternoon in Austin. Getting endorsements from the governors from the two most populous states in the nation back to McCain lost a lot of points in bord...

America?s Border and Sovereignty in Giuliani?s Hands
2007-12-08 15:01:00 As much as I like Rudy and honor what he did for our nation following 9/11, I have some very big concerns. You be the judge . . .A few weeks ago elitist Republican Texas Governor Rick ?Good Hair? Perry endorsed his Trans Texas Corridor pal, Rudy Giuliani, for the Republican Presidential nomination.If there were any doubts as to where Giuliani stands on the NAFTA highway, those doubts have been cleared up; - much to the dismay of anti-illegal immigration conservatives. Giuliani?s law firm is the exclusive legal counsel for Cintra ? the Spanish corp. that will build and control the TTC for 50+ years. (FYI - The TTC is the first leg of the NAFTA highway.)According to Bloggernews, ?When Texas legislators tried to block and slow the Trans Texas Corridor, as the folks of Texas strongly desired, Gov. Perry went against them all and vetoed it. And most recently Gov. Perry told those of us who want a border fence that what we believe is ?idiocy? .Here's the quote from the Associated Press?M...

Rick Perry Endorses Giuliani
2007-10-18 00:32:00 Texas Governor Rick Perry endorsed the candidacy of Rudy Giuliani in Washington this morning. The announcement comes as something of a surprise, though according to Marc Ambinder, "Giuliani's finance team is top-heavy with Texas Republicans, and the Perry and Giuliani circles intersect."Perry's endorsement lends conservative credibility to the Giuliani bid and provides the campaign its first endorsement from a sitting governor. Perry ascended to the governor's office after then-Governor Bush was elected president in 2000. He has since twice been re-elected, though he garnered just 39% of the vote in a five-way 2006 race. His support for Giuliani will likely push him into vice presidential rumors, as he would provide a fairly strong conservative record and regional balance for Giuliani.In announcing his support, Perry acknowledged his differences with the former New York City mayor, saying, "if you?re my 80 percent friend, you?re not my 20 percent enemy." He said concern over...

Open letter to Governor of Texas Rick Perry on Forcing of HPV Vaccine on Yo
2007-02-23 01:06:00 "...I am deeply sensible, though perhaps less sensible than others may perceive that I ought to be, I shall not attempt more than a few observations, which may suggest the views I have taken of the subject... It is sufficiently obvious, that persons now and property are the two great subjects on which Governments are to act; and that the rights of persons, and the rights of property, are the objects, for the protection of which Government was instituted. These rights cannot well be separated. The personal right to acquire property, which is a natural right, gives to property, when acquired, a right to protection, as a social right. The essence of Government is power; and power, lodged as it must be in human hands, will ever be liable to abuse...In republics, the great danger is, that the majority may not sufficiently respect the rights of the minority. Some gentlemen, consulting the purity and generosity of their own minds, without adverting to the lessons of experience, would find... |
